Do you and your partner have sex in the same room as your baby?

I recently saw a discussion about this on insta comments and it was a very split discussion so I was wondering how people here felt about it? (I just want to add I don’t want any judgement or negative comments to people who do or don’t decide to do this I just wanted to see how people feel)

In my own personal experience me and my partner do, our baby is 7 months old and sleeps independently in his own crib but he’s still in our room we never do it while he’s awake, under the covers in the dark so nothing is visible and if he wakes up we stop immediately for us personally doing it “when the baby isn’t around” just isn’t a possibility and we literally never have time to ourselves otherwise I will say we have massively toned down how we’re intimate with each other so we arent loud or doing crazy 50 shades style like we would pre baby and as soon as he’s older or old enough to like pull himself up and actually see what’s happening it’ll stop I don’t want it to be a situation where he ever sees us doing the act but for now I feel like he’s still unaware enough that it’s okay and like I said it’s only ever when he’s dead asleep sometimes I do feel a bit weird about it and it kills the mood so we stop.

Mastitis?

I’m almost 4 weeks postpartum, I exclusively breastfeed and haven’t had any issues, when my milk first came in I had some engorgement and soreness, lumps just from the fullness but once the milk regulated we’ve been fine feeding and my boobs have been more soft not been getting hard or lumpy. Today they have been lumpy and very sore to touch and I don’t know why

Wheelchair user space on public transport. Who has the right? Mum and baby already on board or person using a wheelchair?

I have 3 month old triplets and I am going to have to use public transport next week for a short journey (thankfully it’s only about 10 minutes). I will be taking my double pram and baby wearing one of them. I will not be able to hold all three of them safely and collapse my pram if a wheelchair user comes on board.

Will I have to get off the bus? Will they ask the wheelchair user to wait for the next bus?

For context, am happy to get off the bus if needs be. I just want some knowledge beforehand and any experiences that people have had with this.

Following wake window?

Does anyone not follow wake windows? Just let their baby fall asleep when they do if so how long are they awake for roughly?

Bedtimes with newborn

Hi!
I’m a first time mum and really struggling with bed times with my baby girl. She’s only 17 days old. At nights she doesn’t like being in her next to me crib; I think she feels a bit lost in it and also doesn’t like a blanket. We have been putting her down in her Moses basket which has been working better but when waking up for her early hours feed around 3/4am I can’t seem to get her back down in the Moses basket and having to put her in with me which isn’t ideal. I feel so much mum guilt as she will be used to being warm and toasty in my tummy!
Please can anyone give advice on how they sleep their babies; do you use blankets, sleep bags? I’ve seen people use the sleep pod pillows but these aren’t recommended. Any advice will be very much appreciated as I feel awful thinking she must feel so cold and lost in her crib/moses.

6 months

We’ve had a consistent routine for ages bedtime 7pm usually baby wakes up for feed about 3am sometimes doesn’t wake and wakes about 7/7:30am and now suddenly baby is waking at 12:30/1am for bottle and then wakes for the day at 5:30am and can’t get him back down..Can anyone shed any light on why this would happen? Is there anything I can do to push his wake later?

Speech at 18 months concerns

My son is almost 19 months old and has very few words and none of them are very clear, he says gone, balloon and up and rarely says mum or dad not even once a day, doesn’t say it when he sees us or if I ask him who we are, I’ve been to see the health visitor but she said there isn’t much they do before 2 years old, just wondering where everyone else’s babies are with speech and if anyone else is worried about their little ones speech
