Co sleeping mums

I co-sleep with my 5 month old baby, and he is really good with tummy time and rolling, but I am worried he might fall off the bed while we are sleeping. How do other people manage this? Is there anything you would recommend buying, ideally something specific I could get on Amazon?

If there’s no way to put the bed next to the wall, you may want to consider bed rails (like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tubiaz-Protection-Foldable-Childrens-Adjustable/dp/B0D7PWM3QY/ref=asc_df_B0D7PWM3QY?mcid=7f6ac7f93c6c364e9174bbafe8dac879&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=710843727970&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6548827537706241588&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044974&hvtargid=pla-2366696010136&psc=1&hvocijid=6548827537706241588-B0D7PWM3QY-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1)

At what age do you think having sex in the same room as your awake child becomes sexual abuse?

The other post got me thinking. At some point this is just straight sexual abuse. But at what age would you classify it as

Baby doesn't want to be held but also won't self-soothe?

Alright, I need advice for my 6 month old. What do we do when our babies give all the sleepy ques and yet when you try to get them down for a nap nothing works?

I do a naptime song every time we are getting ready for a nap, nurse (which sometimes gets them to sleep), but when I put them down to sleep they start fussing, when I try rocking no matter what way I hold them is correct, I try just laying with them and this doesn't help either cause they just start crying.

I know they are trying to crawl right now and that makes sleep and naps super funky. I don't want to cry it out either. But omg this drives me bonkers and gets me sooo frustrated cause like idk how to help you go to sleep!😵‍💫🫠

Comforting a breastfed baby

I'm finding the only way I can soothe my 3 week old baby is by putting her on the boob! Others can rock/sway her and shes off to sleep no problem but she doesn't settle with me like this. I don't think she's clusterfeeding and she is full because she tends to bring up whatever she drinks during these comfort feeds. Any advice or is this just life with a breastfed baby? 🫠

Last question! Did anyone get Whooping cough and RSV jab on the same day?

I had to make an appointment today for both my Whopping Cough and RSV jab as I am told I am "behind" in these. So I have an appointment Thursday to have both done at the same time, has anyone else done this? I had a whooping cough jab last pregnancy, but not RSV.
