Anyone’s baby sleeping in their own room yet?

Yes I know the guidance, and that’s not what I’m asking. Is anyone’s baby in their own room yet for sleep? Our LO is constantly being disturbed by us, we hear him stirring when we move. He sleeps through the night already and we’ve moved day time naps to his own room because he will not sleep otherwise. We can’t move his next to me further away from the bed in our room because it’s a tiny room so there is no space. Really feel he’d sleep better in his own room and he doesn’t have a problem putting himself to sleep in his cot in the day so clearly feels safe there. So conflicted on what to do.

Anyone else have a mental breakdown this morning cause of the US election?

I don’t think I realized how much fear I have been holding on to since my son was born cause of the political situation in our country. I haven’t been able to stop crying all morning. Nothing has changed really but also everything has changed. I feel a glimmer of hope that my baby will grow up in a more tolerant, safe, protected country. It won’t be perfect but it won’t be so dark and hard. I feel insane for the amount of emotion pouring out.

My baby is 10 days old and I’m broken already.

He’s really fussy and screams a lot. Please tell me it gets better? I’ve read some people say by 12 weeks. I don’t think I’ve got 12 weeks in me. I’m seeing the mental health team but I need some reassurance. Just because today has b b bad does it mean tomorrow will be?

Feeling very depressed

I’m almost 29 weeks pregnant, I feel very depressed, lonely and like I have made a big mistake having a baby.

I don’t know if this is normal. I’ve been crying every day, I feel like I have made a stupid mistake and don’t really want children. I feel beyond terrible. Has anyone felt similar to this?

Dummy

Desperate for baby to accept dummy as it just buys me 5 minutes when my other child needs something, but he isn’t a huge fan. Do some babies not like dummies at all? Or do I just need to keep trying even though he hates it at 2 weeks old? I have been trying for over a week now!

He is ebf and I am using mam dummies.

Bottle sterilising

My son is turning 9 month old next week and I am just wondering at what age does everyone stop sterilising bottles? My little one is basically crawling now and half of the time he is licking the floor?? 🤣
