From next to me to big cot

My baby is 7 month old and I’m not sure when to start letting him sleep in his big cot. He has had naps in his big cot but still sleeps in his next to me. The problem is that he still wakes for bottles and half the time after his bottles he won’t settle so I end up co-sleeping with him in the bed 😕

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!

Silent Treatment

We didn’t have sex when he wanted to on Friday night so he hasn’t spoken to me since. 😕

Backstory…my day on Friday started at 6am. Starting with getting the kids ready for school, followed by a zillion errands & chores when I got back home that I didn’t finish until well into the evening. After dinner, i get our youngest ready for bed & it’s a struggle getting her to sleep bc she’s not feeling well. I finally get her to sleep around 12:10am. I’m SPENT at this point so I go to our bedroom & lay in the bed close my eyes just to unwind. 12:13am my husband strolls into the room expecting sexy time. He says “are you really sleeping right now?” I say “😑 I’m trying to” He leaves the room about 2 minutes later & doesn’t come back. He hasn’t spoken to me since. This feels like manipulation 🤔

When did you feel comfortable going out with your newborn?

I'd love to hear from other mums—how long did it take before you felt comfortable leaving the house with your newborn? Were there things that helped you build confidence for those first outings? My daughter is now 7 weeks and she seems happy going on a walk for like 10 minutes until she starts crying for me to take her out of the stroller. I want to be able to go on daily walks and get a coffee and chill but she has no chill right now. I know she’s just a baby but I have friends that started going out with their baby at 2 weeks! So I’m starting to feel like I missed out on something…any advice is appreciated 🙏

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.
