Has anyone tried putting their 7.5 month baby in between you and your partner?
I’m nervous. Usually my husband sleeps downstairs. But when he sleeps upstairs with us I put our baby end of the bed and curl up c shaped etc.. but I worry she’ll roll if the bed. I do wake up at any move she does and it’s so hard I can’t sleep. Usually she’s in the middle of the bed and I’m on the side and we both sleep good.

my son is 8.5 months & he’s been sleeping in between us since he was a newborn! you can also get a bed rail if you don’t want to keep her in the middle!

Our son slept between us since we came home from the hospital and when he started getting around we got a full set of bed rails off Amazon.

I’ll sleep right up to the side of bed (comfortably tho I don’t leave myself short) with pregnancy pillow behind me. He will sleep right next to me and partner will be at other end of bed. We have a super king.

You could also be in the middle with baby against the wall! I also used to get nervous because hubby is a pretty heavy sleeper so I often just put her against the wall and I also go a rail for the bottom of the bed because she moved a lot.

My baby slept between me and my husband from birth to when he transferred to the crib.

The same sleep guidance is always baby on the outside never between two parents x

Doesn’t safe sleep 7 say that by 4 months any responsible adult can sleep next to baby?

My son has been off and on sleeping in bed between us since he was born. He’s 14 months now and almost every night he wakes up to be put in bed with us. He’s teething with the back teeth which is why he’s not sleeping through the night anymore. I wake up to any movement and noise he makes just to make sure he’s good. Husband is a heavy sleeper and I’m still nervous that he might roll on him or lay his arm over the boys head.

My son has always switched across the night between being between my husband and me and being by the side of the bed (floor bed, not against the wall so no entrapment risk). When he was very little, I always kept him close to me in the c curl. So he was technically between my husband and me, but we have a king size bed so my husband was over on his side. My husband doesn't move around too much in his sleep so it was always pretty predictable. Also, like someone else said, by the age of your baby, cosleeping with any responsible adult is safe, not just breastfeeding mothers. So as long as your husband knows there is a baby in bed and knows to take responsibility for her, it should be okay.
I had a nappy raffle at my baby shower and have loads of nappy’s but the ones on the left are what I’ve found best and I am running low on them. They are elastic around the front and back unlike the ones on the left I’ve opened 3 more packs of pampers and they are all like the ones on the right. Have they changed or are they a specific style/name

Hey ladies. Planning to bottle feed my bubba. Do hospitals have sterilising equipment or should I pack multiple bottles already sterilised? Thank you 🩵

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my little girl who’s now 4 and a half months old. During that time I’ve had mastitis twice. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics and strong painkillers. Every week there’s always a new lump in either one breast or both which causes me so much discomfort and pain. The area is sore, tender and very uncountable so breastfeeding can hurt. It also hurts to hold her close to my chest because of the lump. The other day I also had a blocked milk duct as there was a white dot on my nipple. I’ve seen the doctors and taken medicines but seems like there’s always a new lump appearing. The doctor mentioned to do hot and cold compresses as well which tbh doesn’t seem to help. I’m feeling quite down about it all and wonder if switching her to formula would be better for her and myself. Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? I would appreciate any advice or tips. Thank you!

I have a 20m old and a 2 month old. Both boys. My 20m old is in size 5 daytime and overnight diapers. My 2m is in size 1. What are we all doing to help with peeing through? Both children pee through their diapers at night (my 2m gets changed during his 3am feeding). I make sure both are always pointed down. do I need to go up a size? I’m at a loss.

My little girl is almost 10 weeks, she’s not napping much throughout the day so I’m struggling to get anything done and majority of the time I don’t get ready till the afternoon and I feel like I’ve wasted my full day.
She’s not sleeping great on a night still and only takes 4oz max, she doesn’t go to sleep till 10.30/11 and then she is up between 2am and 4am, then she’s really unsettled when she goes back down. Then she’s awake again between 5am and 7am and then I have to let her go back to sleep on me and she will sleep till 8.30ish. I’m so physically and mentally drained 😭
