Sleep
Hey mamas! When are you all planning on transitioning baby into a cot/their own room? My baby girl is 4 months now and I know the guidelines say 6! But I feel really sad/uneasy of the thought of moving her into her own room so young! But I also see the benefits as well!

My boys are already in their own room 🤷🏼‍♀️
My boy is 4 months and he's nearly getting to big for the next to me so what I'm going to do and I did for my daughter too is put the cot into my room that way I still have eyes on him close by. I've heard people doing it with a travel cot if the room is too small too.
I think I kept her over a year old in our room, just do what feels right for you, guidelines are exactly that a guide if things are happy the way they are why rock the boat, I'd keep my son next to me for longer if he wasn't getting to big for the next to me.
I put my son in his room at 9 months last time and he started sleeping so much better. I’m probably going to wait until I feel ready again, I don’t see the rush

How to help baby sleep independently
My little girl is 2 months tomo and I currently have to rock pat and shush her to sleep. If I dont put her to sleep she will stay up and be extremely overtired. I cant even sit and rock she will fuss and cry until I stand up. I see others put their baby in the crib and they fall asleep themselves and mine is not capable of doing that. Its so exhausting and even if shes too young now I would love some advice on other peoples experience on how they moved away from rocking their baby and started encouraging them to fall asleep on their own/using other cues to help them fall asleep. She doesn’t like being swaddled and refuses the dummy she will make faces and gag so they dont help.

Bottle feeding
Ive seen alot of comments about prep machines and the rapid cools.
My feeding consultant told me to put the powder formula in after the water but then surly the cooler water mixed in from the prep machine then wont kill the bacteria in the formula? We have a tommee tippee prep machine but if i put the powder in before or mid way the water always goes higher than what im wanting but then if I put it in after is it then not safe?
In regards to the rapid cool im unsure what the best way to use it is. Im a FTM and just not sure what is safest and best for our boy.

How are you spending your days?
Out of curiosity, what do your days look like? I’m 4 weeks PP, I have 2 under 2 and my newborn is tiring me out. I’m waking up late with her (sometimes gone 10am). I go on short walks but most of the day there is a lot of feeding and cuddles. Is this normal for this stage? I feel a little guilty I’m waking up so late and not being more productive.

White noise for naps?
Does anyone use a white noise machine for day time naps? We play white noise at night, but haven’t done it in the day yet. Just thinking of whether it will help our baby to sleep in the day better…
