Moses to cot transition

I fear I may have to transition my baby to his own room soon. He’s 5 months old and according to google he should transition from 4-6 months or when he gains movement skills. He knows how to roll and that is one skill that is mentioned for his safety, as he could accordingly roll out the Moses. I say I “fear” this but it’s more that I don’t want it to end. I’m massively grieving over his growth and milestones, time is flying way too quickly and I fear I’ve missed everyone moment of his newborn stage and now he’s almost crawling. I roll over and immediately see his cute little face. How do I accept this and do I actually need to transition him soon?

You can absolutely transition him at your own pace!! Find that balance between him being ready & you being ready! I waited until 7 months with my baby girl because thats when I finally felt it was time but don't let google rush you because of "should do's"

Obviously, you don't want to hold him back or create bad habits where he is too attached to you, so one random night you'll feel ready & take the plunge while you do! Its a heavy weight on your heart for the first few nights but then you're bursting with pride after that! Stay strong and go at YOUR pace! Everyone is different, no comparisons. You got this. X

I have left the next to me there and put the baby monitor right in the middle of it and turned the volume up very loud, so I can still roll and see his little face, not the same but it definitely helps 😊

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

RSV Vaccine

Could really use some advise! I had the RSV vaccine at 30 weeks pregnant and 2 days later went into premature labour despite a straightforward pregnancy prior and no clear signs as to what caused this.

I have now received an appointment for my baby to have the RSV vaccine. Am I right to be apprehensive given it is such a new vaccine? What is the the right thing to do 🙈

I am not usually one to question a vaccine and he will receive all of the other vaccines without question

Magnetic tiles

Im looking to get my kiddos more magnetic tiles. They love playing with the ones they have at our local library. I have looked on Amazon but I was wondering what the best brand is? I would like a larger set and get a small tote for them.

From cosleeping to cot 13month old

Send help. I’m trying to get my EBF 13 month old to sleep in his cot, at least the first half of the night to start with.

If I transfer him and he doesn’t wake up it’s usually ok. But if he wakes up, he screams - like there’s no tomorrow! It’s so overwhelming. I end up just putting him back in the big bed with me if it’s too much.

Anyone in a similar position with any advice??

Who’s co sleeping?

My little boy doesn’t settle at all in his cot. Just cries for me, he’s 8 months
