Bed sharing past 6 months

(U.S based) My baby’s Ped does not know we bed share but when I mentioned baby was still in the room with us she said baby should be in his own room to learn independence and self soothing 🙄 I ebf and baby still awakes to nurse like 3 x and she said babies this age wake up 0-1x like ok?! And that it’s good for baby because they will have separation anxiety the longer we wait to put him in his own room.
She also said I could offer formula if baby is no longer taking the breast which he prob will. Anyways, the weirdest appt.

Question: how long did you bed share with your little one? Did they grow to be dependent of you and less likely to be independent? Prob not but want to hear your experience. Thank you ❤️

Sleeping on your back

Hi guys, I've been told so many different things about ways of sleeping. I try to sleep on my left but I always find I sleep on my back. Is this ok?

17 month old not walking

My son has just turned 17 months and still isn’t walking, he can crawl, pull himself up on things & cruise along furniture. He’s also able to take a few steps if we play a game of back & fourth but gives up quite quickly.

I think he may be double jointed, I’ve spent far too long on Google & im really concerned / starting to not sleep because of it.

Has anyone had any positive outcomes?
I feel like I’m not doing enough etc 😩

Doing so much better

Just wanted to make a post to any other new mums out there who are fixated on your baby’s sleep.
For the first three months it was all I could focus on, making sure she got enough daytime sleep to help stretch out her nights / focused heavily on wake windows. I realised I became obsessive and it was making motherhood so rigid.
For the past few weeks I have thrown it all out the window and have trusted my instinct, stopped tracking on huckleberry and very loosely follow the clock but more so look at my baby’s cues.
Her sleep is still very much up and down but she has given me night stretches of 6 hours at times. The one significant improvement has been in myself and my enjoyment of motherhood. I actually feel free? 🤣
I know schedules work for some but ultimately wake windows are just an average and every baby is different.
I really would recommend to anyone who is struggling with this to just put everything down even for a few days and see if you notice a difference in yourself
I’m here if anyone wants to chat about the wormhole of sleep, the routine of searching everything on Google and the worry of everyday feeling like a battle of naps 💕

Did you sleep train your baby?

If so what age and method did you do? Comment details below! I just started sleep training today and it’s been rough 🫩

Removing childs monobrow wrong or right

My sister and brother always had monobrows and were both bullied till they were old enough to remove it themselves. my middle child came out with one and I plucked it and now they're older I use wax sheets on it whenever bits start to reappear I think its basic maintenance of a child like clipping their nails or brushing their teeth

Sterilising

How far along in your pregnancy did you leave it till you started sterilised bottles, breast pumps ect
