Bassinet to pram

Has anyone transitioned their baby out of their bassinet to the pram? Not sure if too early?

I haven't yet. Still too early in my opinion

Yes at 15 weeks as he hit 9kg so we had no choice 😭

Our seat attachment is suitable from newborn though so we just have him laying flat.

Anecdotally I don’t know anyone who’s used a bassinet past around 4 months as babies usually want to see more x

We did ours about 12 weeks as the pram can still be lay flat & the Silver Cross model we have can be used from birth. Baby girl is much happier as she can see alot more than in the bassinet when we’re out on walks.

Mine is getting restless in the bassinet now and wants to see more so im toying with the idea, she will be 16 weeks next week and is trying to sit herself up more and likes to see whats going on, we go away in 5 weeks and are planning on taking that as the bassinet takes up a lot of our boot space but our seat attachment is suitable for newborns as can be lay flat so can be used from birth.

We did at 12 weeks. She enjoys it more because she can look at more things. We just lay her flat in it.

I swapped over at 10 weeks, same with my first. The pushchair lies flat so is suitable from birth. Both my babies hated the bassinet but like the pushchair as they can see more

Did it at 14 weeks, it can lay flat 💜💜

Yep! We did at about 13/14 weeks, it has the slightest incline but is almost flat and he loves it. He couldn’t stand his bassinet!

Contact naps

At what age do contact naps become less regular? Don’t get me wrong, I love how serene he looks and love that he feels safest with me and 75% of the time it’s actually nice to just sit down with him and enjoy the moment. However, there are some days where I just feel a little drained from the constant-ness of it and I feel like I’m trying to get things done/look after my needs in his wake windows when he’s happy to go in his chair and watch me but then feel terrible for the lack of interaction with him where he’s my sole focus and tummy time, etc.

Soo, what are we doing with our babies?

Morning everyone! Just wondering what a typical day looks like for you? How often is your baby on a play mat or in a bouncer etc?

I'm not really sure what my wake windows should look like and how long she should spend in my arms or on her play mat etc Per wake window / day.

Naps

How are we doing naps? Wake windows? Sleepy cue? Rocking? Feeding? Dark room? Bright room?

Nursing Chairs

Hey everyone! I wonder whether I can get some people’s opinions on nursing chairs.. Are they worth it? Do you actually use them? ☺️

Please help 😢

I need help and I need help fast. I am struggling mentally so badly.

My 14 month old is going to bed at 7pm every night and wakes around 10pm, 1pm which I cannot settle him without a bottle so he’ll have the bottle (cows milk) then go back to sleep.

He wakes up around 4am, I have tried more milk to see if he’ll go back to sleep but he won’t.

I am completely exhausted and drained and mentally broken trying to understand what im doing so wrong. I’m the one doing all feeds and wake ups as baby dad is pure useless.

Baby has 2 naps per day totalling 2 hours as a whole. I’ve tried cutting his naps down but him himself is also shattered from such a broken night.

I am NOT here to be judged, if you’re going to be a Karen do it on your own life, I need help and that’s all please x
