Mine is 6 months, learning how to crawl and she sleeps in my pregnancy pillow and I sleep on the other side. It’s contained her for now…she sleeps well in the crib but I get so fearful of her sleeping by herself. Try crib naps only to get him used to the crib

Maybe he wakes because he’s hungry ? Try more purées in the day or finger foods 1 hour before sleep that’s why mine would wake se started giving fuller meals and she stopped waking up but when we have a long day with lighter meals she wakes up!

Sleep bag/swaddle sacks. Helped me she couldnt go super fast and it would wake me when she would start moving so I could grab her before she crawled.

Also in the middle of the bed between both parents helped us but also we aren't rollers. We also sleeped with two separate blankets and two separate pillows for me and dad.

Just curious

Hi everyone!

I found myself in a VERY unique situation 2 months ago. I found out I was pregnant with my baby boy, literally the night before I officially gave birth to him. I had all of 16 hours to mentally and emotionally prepare myself to bring another life into the world. Mind you. He is my first (and hopefully only) child. There are no words to describe the mental change that took place while finding out about my cryptic pregnancy, especially after being my entire life, that I would NEVER be capable of having children. Is there anyone else out there, who has gone through this?

Baby won’t lay flat!

Hi Mamas, please help me here. I am absolutely tired and devastated. My baby is continuously refusing to lay down flat, even if we cosleep from 4 weeks old. I can’t do it anymore. He is 11 weeks old and I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. He sleeps really well, but will only sleep in our arms. He may give a 1-2 hour stretch at night laying flat but can sleep for 8 hours if in arms. I have tried cosleeping, that did not work as well. Pediatricians keep saying it’s normal. How is this normal?

Poorly baby what would you do?

My little one has a temp of 38.3 it’s risen from earlier today after giving nurofen, calpol was given before bedtime. He was sick before having calpol but his breathing is quite fast. No dipping chest just fast breathing.
My partner is saying just let him sleep
I’m wondering about going to A&E

How are you dealing with partners who don’t bed share..

I’m not fully co sleeping.. just in the morning if my baby 7 month old wakes up for her third or fourth time 😭 she’ll come in to bed with me to push her wake up time to 7:30am as I really can’t do any earlier.
She was in her next to be crib and now transitioned to a travel cot with a good firm mattress I bought separately.
Issue is .. my husband snores a lot and sometimes wakes her up..
I snore a lot since pregnancy and I guess my baby is used to it but he isn’t and he can’t sleep with me snoring ..
so he’s been sleeping downstairs on the couch for the last few months..

I don’t know if the issue is my snoring or that he wakes her up with his snoring that we don’t sleep together anymore. And I do think he’s slowly getting upset about it all..
her room is fully kitted out but I’m just not ready yet to move her there. Also I have been EBF.

So my question is how do your husband/partners take it? Does it affect your relationship over few months/years..
