How do I prepare my velcro baby for nursery?

He’s 11.5months, spends 24/7 with me, exclusively breastfed, only transfers to cot when in deep sleep and cosleeps at night. I am so scared of traumatising him when he goes to nursery full time 😭

When do children fully understand you?

My son is nearly two and I’ve been wondering lately when will he fully understand what I’m trying to tell him ?

Losing my actual mind

Right, so my 3 week old will not stop crying unless she’s breastfeeding. But, if I feed her constantly, then she screeches because she’s taking far too much, which results in trapped wind.
How in the hell do I get her to stop crying, so I can actually take two minutes for myself. I’m hardly eating, showering happens past midnight when she’s finally settled and forget about something as simple as brushing my hair.
Seriously, is this normal behaviour? Because everyone is suggesting I just let her cry out, but that isn’t happening, because I refuse to let her cry to the point where she coughs, and she won’t stop anyway.

Mattress Protection

Hey, as most of us are getting super close....what is everyone putting on their mattress just in case their waters go?

Wee!

Morning,
This is the third day in a row my 6 month old has peed through his nappy, vest and sleeping bag 😫
After the first time we sized him up from 3 to 4s, after the second night we moved to Pampers - and after tonight I don’t know what to do!
We change him once through the night anyway but don’t want to wake him (or ourselves) up anymore than we have to!
He’s a side sleeper could it be that??
What else is there to do to stop it from happening? 😂

12 week old never slept through the night

Hi all, my baby is 12 weeks old and has always slept in the next to me crib fine. He can settle himself to sleep initially but he wakes up around 3-4 times a night for a feed. Everyone I speak to seems to have had a full nights sleep but I haven’t had one since he’s been born (or since about 25 weeks pregnant) He only wakes up and feeds for 10 minutes and goes straight to back to sleep but it would be nice for a full night or at least something longer than 4 hours.. Please tell me I’m not alone 🤣
