Moses Basket vs. Bedside Crib
Hi, my little girl (2 weeks) sleeps really well in her Moses basket but not so well in the bedside crib. Looking for thoughts on whether I should just take the Moses basket upstairs at night or whether I should push through with the bedside crib, as she’ll have to transition to it at some point anyway. Any thoughts appreciated 😊

I am in the exact same boat with my 3 week old! Hates the next to me, but happily sleeps in the Moses basket. I wasn’t sure whether it was the time of day. But I’m like you I didn’t want to start a habit that I will have to break, but we all want a good night’s sleep!
At this age they still really like tinier space that feel like a nest... I would go with what works for her so you get more rest? And transition once it feels best to her.
Hi! My daughter was the same, she’s now 8 weeks but at first we had to take the Moses up at nights and at around 3/4 weeks we transitioned her into the next to me crib. We found she wouldn’t sleep in the next to me so none of us were sleeping and she was so unsettled so this worked best for us! Xx
Yes we have two Moses baskets for this reason and will transition to the next to me or even the cot when he’s outsized the basket. I would follow her lead because she’s sleeping in an independent space and at this stage whatever gives you more sleep is the right choice! ♥️

How do I get my 9 year olds to stop wearing his brothers clothes
My boys are 13 months apart. They are 9 and 8 but my 9 year old is in clothes between 10/12 and 14s depending on brand and my 8 year old is in size 8s. But I keep catching my 9 year old wear his brothers clothes then it’s a fight with him and he doesn’t want to take them off I literally have to take them off of him myself and make him put his own clothes on him.
How do I stop this?
Also they share a room and I separate their clothes the best I can.

Crying when changing nappy
Baby is 10 days old and cries so bad every time we change his nappy, is anyone else’s little one the same?
Is there anything we can do to try and calm him down?

Sleep consultants
Has anyone used a sleep consultant that they would recommend? I want to try and help my baby (nearly 11 months) to sleep better at night before I go back to work in November. She wakes multiple times and after almost 6 months of this I could really do with some better sleep too 🙏🏻

Sick after bottle feeding
I just fed my 5 week old some formula ( 110ml ) and normally he burps well but he didn’t so I thought it’s fine. Put him down and he kind of projectile vomited some of the milk, made me panic. I picked him up and tried to burp him, he looked so uncomfortable but eventually settled and now I’m sat up in a chair scared to pop him down! Does that happen to many of you? He’s fast asleep now snoring away ( he snores normally )
