What would you do?
We're struggling with how to arrange the rooms.
We have a 3 bed property.
We have the largest room.
Daughter (4) has the 2nd largest.
Smaller room is currently an office.
I'm pregnant.
Option 1: Office turns into baby room.
Option 2: Daughter moves into office, 2nd room gets turned into play room/baby room.
Option 3: They share biggest room (eventually). We move into 2nd room. Office turns into playroom.

We have a 3 bed and we had our smallest room ready for the baby and since he has been born my eldest has decided he wants him in his room when he's 6 months so our smallest room is now an office again x😅
If you need and use an office, I would let them share the biggest room, specially if they are the same gender. If you can do without the office, then turn it into the baby room.
Depends. Do you use your office ?
If not I would just turn it into baby's room. If you use it then kids share the rooms. We also have a 3 bedrooms house. One is mine with our second baby arriving in October and my husband shares the second room with my almost 3 years old (we cosleep). Once kids are ready we plan to move move back husband with me and kids together. I home work so I need the office in third bedroom 🤗
If you need an office, keep the office.
Baby stays in your room for 6-12m and then you either get the siblings to share or you reevaluate the office use in a years time.

Sleep
My baby boy is 14 weeks and recently has been getting up earlier and earlier in the morning, he goes to bed 7-7.30pm and wakes once or twice in the night and wakes up at 7.. but now it’s 6am, 5.30, 5.15am. Any advice please, is he going to bed too early?

My office is in the nursery
Hi all, this is very much a first world problem but thought it doesn’t hurt to ask. Our house is very small and so my PC/desk is in the nursery and the room is kind of split in half, I use it to game and create crafts on the side which I sell. Usually, I do this when baby goes to bed around 7pm as he’s not sleeping in that room yet and I get a good few hours every night and honestly I love this time it just makes me feel human again. Soon, our son is going to have to move into that room and I’m worried this means I won’t be able to use the room anymore in the evening as I literally have no where else in the house my desk can go. I just wondered if anyone was in a similar situation and either tried to use the room quietly and if that worked?

Any advice on baby sleeping in the next to me? My 2 week old will sleep so well on me but when I transfer he does half the time or will wake up straight away. 👶

Speaking up about PPD
Hey I had a situation today with my therapist. I really trusted her and spoke up about how I was feeling after holding it in for a while because it felt scary to talk about. My therapist reassured me that my feelings are normal after birth and that I would not get into trouble. I asked her 4x in therapy if the way I was feeling would get me in trouble and she reassured me I was not. Today she calls me and tells me I have to go to the ER or I will have crisis at my house. I had no plans. I had no intent . I only discussed an intrusive thought at an overwhelming moment. It was just scary. However I know I wouldn’t act on it. I was
More scared that my mind thought of that intrusive thought. My mom’s a nurse and she has told me this was wrong. The thing that bothers me about this whole situation is that there really is no support after birth for PPD and no one talks about it to prepare you for when it happens to you. I don’t feel like the healthcare and justice systems do a great job at making women feel they can speak up. My therapist ruined the idea of therapy being a safe space, she lost all of my trust, and now I don’t feel like I can speak to doctors or another therapist again. I see a psychatrist next week and I’m just horrified now to tell him anything- small or big.
My therapist worked on teaching me to speak up to healthcare professionals and not allowing myself to be dismissed. She didn’t tell me at the end of the therapy session that she was thinking I was unsafe. When she called me today she didn’t explain why she was sending me to the ER, after being in therapy the day before being reassured it’s all normal, I’m not crazy and she said word for word “I don’t see the need for any legal intervention.” Then why did Crisis show up at my door today?
Has anyone else gone through this? I’m having a a hard time wanting to post this , but I feel so betrayed by my therapist. I want to speak and talk to someone but now I don’t feel I can. I kinda feel small and in a corner.

Silent reflux
Any advice is needed!
Little boy is 4 months next week and we have been struggling with this for at least 2 months now 😫 the last thing we have tried is infant gaviscon which helped for two weeks and then the constipation started badly. We have decided to come off that and just go back to his milk with nothing in. Which has helped him poo. His reflux is slowly coming back, he’s not being sick he’s just so uncomfortable all day screams in pain. Anyone got any advice to what steps are next? 😫😫😫

breast/formula feeding
Mums who CHOOSE not to breastfeed because they simply just don’t want to (even with a milk supply) why don’t you pump instead of using formula???
this isn’t an attack! just asking out of curiosity!
