Honestly Do it when you’re ready - our first little girl we moved at 5 months and our second little girl we only moved last weekend at just over 6 months. We inly moved her because she started pulling herself to stand the week prior and whenever she woke in the morning she was up on her feet and was trying to climb out on to our bed 🫣
She had 2/3 unsettled nights, but has slept through the past 2 nights. She’s transitioned really well luckily🤞🏼

Our boy has been in his own room about a week now. He’s still not sleeping through the night but he was only waking up once for a feed. Start with nap times in the bedroom, then let them fall asleep and put them down at bedtime. Then, enjoy the sensation of having your own room back!

Mine sleeps in a next to me crib and I don't ever want her to leave haha I think once she starts standing up and trying to climb out, that's when we'll start transitioning :)

My daughter was born 22nd of Jan and I just put her in last week, just straight went for it, she woke up a few times but nothing not manageable. I just have the camera/monitor on. I had to move her because she had well outgrown the next to me and kept rolling into it and waking up during the night 20+ times

Started slowly transitioning but my LB does half the night in his crib and half in bed with me 😅

Nursing bra help!

Does anyone know of any nursing bras available in the UK that have this option where you can open at the front, but it still leaves some material across the top part of your boobs so you are covered whilst feeding?

I bought one in my last pregnancy from Australia, but they have stopped doing it 😭

I have found the below, but it’s just a tank top so you can’t adjust the size at the back. And with how varied my boob size is during pregnancy, freshly postpartum, and as I went through breastfeeding, I really need an adjustable back!

I know some people say just have the confidence to feed, but I’m really after something that leaves me a bit covered as it gave me so much more confidence

Autistic in babies

I know I shouldn’t worry but my daughter that’s 8 months plays but she’ll wack stuff she’s holding on floor repeatedly is this normal?? How did you know your child was autistic???
She has eye contact she’s just started to babble little bit here and there she crawls and sits up she smiles when you smile very hard to make laugh although she does laugh! She’s a tough crowd 😂
She’ll bash toys with her hands she has facial expressions
She doesn’t respond to her name that well right now

A question for 2nd time mummies and beyond

My social circle is all 1st time mummies with children ranging up to two and we all put a lot of focus on naps. I feel very restricted because of to the expectations I’ve now built up. I was more chill on the nap front a couple of months ago but since she dropped to two naps I’m all “nap this. Nap that” and tbh it’s not my personality at all so missing a bit of myself. I want to do what’s good for her though.

Anyway, how do you do it? It can’t be simple? School runs or clashing naps or bedtime with a toddler. Or have you just let go and say “hey, they’re happy and clearly gets their sleep somewhere”

What would you say to me? - go with it and get out and enjoy life nap worry free? or would you say be grateful for the opportunity to focus on just her and get her naps in? Or a mix of the lot? Do your expectations of yourself and reality add up?

Pls help 🥹

Morning mamas! I’ve found this beautiful dress for an event that I really want to wear. However, I’m breastfeeding, and although the dress looks lovely without a bra, I’d really like to wear one for a bit more support. Does anyone have any suggestions for what type of bra I could wear with it? I’ll have my hair down, so that should cover the back anyway.

Holiday 💃

Hello ladies, I'm wanting to take my lil lady on holiday, she will be 3 month old in October.

I'm just wondering what type of push chair to get as the one I have is too big.

What else would you recommend taking??

Thank you in advance 😊

AITA?

Toddler send home with no mention of any issue- when I undressed him at bath time found large graze on his side /back/ribs. When I asked him he said he fell off the climbing frame that was very high. I asked him if the teachers were there and he said yes. I fully expect him to fall and bash himself - he’s a boy and 3 years old! But I’m annoyed that there was no mention of this and plan to
Bring it up when I go next .
