Bassinet to crib

What age did you start having your baby sleep all the time in their crib in their own room instead of them sleeping in a bassinet in your bedroom ? My 3 month old is almost too long for the bassinet šŸ˜…

We had to upgrade to a mini crib in our room around 4m because he was too big for the bassinet.

We moved him over to the big crib in his own room around 7m. I was being selfish as I nursed throughout the night, I waited until he was sleeping through/down to one wake up. I didn’t want to be walking across the house multiple times a night lol.

But we ALL got better sleep being in different rooms haha. It was unbelievable.

It recommended that baby sleeps in with you for the first 6 months because of sids. We had the cot in our bedroom once he outgrew his bassinet at 3 months. You need to do what works best for you though.

Switched to a crib in our room at 3 months. He didn’t go to our room until he turned 1. When he moved to his own room he got a twin size floor bed. I wasn’t waking up every 3 hours and going across the house. He didn’t sleep through the night until he was a year half. Plan to do the same with my daughter.

7 months when she was standing up her her next to me crib it wasn’t safe anymore so she went in a cot in her own room then!

My little girl is 13 weeks and is in her normal crib but in our room, she moved around way to much in the next to me and because it was one you could rock when she’d move it would rock and help her wiggle around so got scared and put her in her crib about 2-3 weeks ago but still in our room, hoping the transition to her own room in a couple months will be easier since she already knows her big girl crib

Sleep Training?

My daughter is 7 months and he started to wake up every 2-3 hours again. Sometimes I can rock her back to sleep other times feeding seems to work the best. She sleeps in our room in a pack and play and she will sit up and cry so I know she’s not trying to self soothe. What worked best for you and your littles?

Leaving baby on own while downstairs

Hi all I know the Bhs guidelines say keep baby in same room as you for first 6 months. My baby is 5 months old but she's a really bad napper in the day so I hardly get any chores done I was wondering if it would be safe once u put her to bed to set the camera on her to go downstairs for an hour or two to do chores. Everything I read online says no because of Sid's and I do have anxiety over Sid's. I would still be staying in the same room as her overnight. I want to hear everyone's opinions and what they have done. Thankyou x

Nap times

Little boy is nearly 6 weeks when do you start doing timed naps currently he just sleeps when ever where ever but I’m think soon I will have to start put him down for naps, and would like to introduce his cot eventually so he’s used to it when he starts sleeping there once he’s out from the next to me

Advice for stopping breast feeding

Has anyone got any tips or advice for stopping breastfeeding that actually work? Everyone I seem to ask doesn’t seem to give useful advice or helplines don’t reply as soon as I say she’s 13 months.

We have managed to drop some feeds but not able to drop more.

My little one is 13 months old, I’m so ready to stop but it’s her only comfort. She has no comforter as never took to one.

At home she won’t sleep without it unless she’s in a car/pram. She goes to nursery and with other family members in the day time and sleeps no problem for them.

Health Visitor advised someone else doing her bedtime routine, but she won’t settle for anyone else if she knows I’m home, she gets herself so worked up and stressed out.

I’ve tried going cold turkey but I end up giving into her as I hate seeing her so distressed.

I’ve tried distractions, snacks, water playing with toys but only works sometimes for a short period of time.

She won’t drink cows milk either.

I’ve tried plasters but she peels them off.

I don’t like the thought of putting anything ā€œbadā€ on my nipples.

Any other tips that worked for you?
