Moving baby to their own room

Hi all, did anyone move their baby into their own room early? My little boy is 5 months but is getting too long for his next2me and keeps knocking himself against the sides and waking himself up in the night. I am thinking of moving him into his cot in his room but unsure?

My little used to nap in her own room then I fully moved her at 6 months old

I’m considering doing this too for our little one who just turned 5 months. She’s a good sleeper and sleeps through and I have been napping her in her cot in the nursery with a camera so she is used to it

the NHS recommends all their daytime and nighttime sleep to be done in the same room as you for safety- if you do put baby in their own room then you could consider getting a mattress or camp bed to sleep in their nursery until 6 months maybe? To improve little ones sleep but maintain the safety? Xx

My partner said he doesnt think our daughter will ever speak and I said you cant know that yet

She has a disability but shes only somewhat behind in the sense of physically and yes speech and learning but he said shes "blank" she has no understanding of anything shes just a "blank" child with nothing there n it kind of broke me to be honest. He said she will never be ok and never speak and we dhould just accept it with this one! I see her play, engage with other children, shes so happy, she stacks the big blocks, mega blocks and magnetic tiles, she loves rubbery chew toys n any musical toys and loud ones too, she recognised her favourite tv programme n doesnt play much with other things but now she can walk (delayed due to mobility condition) shes everywhere n climbs n always on the go. She loves sing song n recognises the songs and she doesnt speak no or show much understanding but I think she knows her name but noone else. She doesnt understand anything we say unless its twinkle twinkle little star or row row your boat. I was more hurt that he said it even if it turns out to be true not that it would matter if she didn't as shes still my baby but I'm not thinking about it because shes young and im trying everything to help her, groups, educational toys, physio, private therapies, mixing with children, anything I can

Will this heal?

Controversial maybe but a 2.5/3 year old should NOT have a dummy (pacifier) in public.

When I drop my son off at playgroup, there’s often toddlers with dummies in their mouths.

I get that they’re a comfort for them etc but they are old enough to not ‘need’ to have one in their mouths during the day!

Sleep Deprivation

My 12day old sleeps for 3-4hours in the day in her pram, to the point I have to wake her up to feed but come nighttime she doesn't sleep. The last 4 nights it's been sleep time at 4am at the earliest and today she still hasn't slept since 11pm (only 20mins).

She is BF and we have just introduced one bottle of my milk during the night to see if that helps and it hasn't.

I honestly am broken, I am so tired and feel like such a mum failure that I can't meet her needs and settle her.

Please help.

When did you start back with the 420

Hi!! My baby is three weeks old, and I am strictly breastfeeding so I haven’t started bwck up. But eventually I would like to. I’m just curious when everyone started back up and if you supplemented with formula or continued to breast feed. I’ve been extremely stressed and I’d like to be able to spark up and relax on occasion. Just not sure when it’s the right time or how to properly transfer back to it

Cradle cap advice

My baby is 5 weeks old and I’m noticing some pretty bad cradle cap. Any suggestions on how to help it go away, I’ve tried breast milk on the scalp but not seeing much help so far. Also, anyone know if certain things would hurt the scalp? Wanting to make sure I avoid anything that would!
