Haha we managed to do it without booting him out, the three of us in a king size bed. It got to the point though where it wasn't getting me, or baby, any sleep as he is such a wriggly sleeper, rolling all over the place. Months 1-4.5 he was in our bed every night from about 4am thoughI remember with our second he cried all the time, and me in bed sitting up holding him all night, because my husband was worried about bed sharing. On night 3 I got rid of the husband (just from the bed) and we never looked back. Bed sharing with no2,3 & 4 has been one of the best decisions we’ve made, I get so much more sleep
Swaddling worked for me! Doesn't work for all but it made a massive difference. I guess she felt more secure.I’ve just discovered this thread, pleeeeeeeease can I ask some advice? My daughter is 2 days old and will only sleep on me or my partner, she usually falls asleep whilst breastfeeding and then I try and put her down in her next to me really slow and softly and she instantly wakes and cries so I cuddle her. We’re taking it in turns to have 2 hour sleeps whilst the other holds her but we’re both very tired and I’m petrified of one of us falling asleep with her in our arms
I was always a bit sceptical about the white noise but it's gone off a few times and he's woken really quickly after. We put it in the pram and he will often just turn his head and go off to sleepSwaddling worked for me! Doesn't work for all but it made a massive difference. I guess she felt more secure.
We also changed from a bedside cot to a moses basket. That worked too
Also second what someone said about white noise.
We have a fan on constantly and it helps so much
Yeah we've always had it for my kids.I was always a bit sceptical about the white noise but it's gone off a few times and he's woken really quickly after. We put it in the pram and he will often just turn his head and go off to sleep
Yes it was the only thing my baby would sleep in for the first few weeks I think she liked it cause it was more enclosed she wouldn’t sleep in the next to me until she was around 2 and a half months, we just brought it up and down the stairs during the day/nightHas anyone found having a Moses basket useful? I’ve got one on my list to buy, but I’m wondering how much it’ll be used. We have a next to me and a purflo for upstairs, so I was thinking the Moses would be handy to keep downstairs.
We have a king size bed too, When we stay at my in laws we are in a double and it’s just not enough spaceHaha we managed to do it without booting him out, the three of us in a king size bed. It got to the point though where it wasn't getting me, or baby, any sleep as he is such a wriggly sleeper, rolling all over the place. Months 1-4.5 he was in our bed every night from about 4am thoughUsed to get us sleep until 7. Some nights he came in earlier, especially during that awful, awful 4 month regression or on nights when he wasn't feeling good, he'd be in from the start.
He never ever falls asleep on me now, I miss those sleepy cuddles.
I feel so much better hearing it’s happened to other people! My daughter had such slow weight gain but since starting kendamil she’s gained almost a pound in 2 weeks!I moved my little one onto kendamil too, it’s sooooo much better! He had dark green poos for a couple of weeks. I wouldn’t worry, your baby will just be getting used to it
This will sound weird but I walk around with a bed sheet in my top the first couple of weeks on rotation and in the evening put it on her next to me cot and when I put her down she could still smell me. Doesn’t always work every time Hutu most of the time it wouldI’ve just discovered this thread, pleeeeeeeease can I ask some advice?

Ive a Claire de lune one it’s brilliant, got plenty of use out of it my wee girl loved itThanks for all the Moses basket advice! Managed to pick one up in the sale on Claire de lune for £50 instead of £75
I was just going to suggest this too, worked a treat for us both babies settled much easier. I used a muslin then just tucked it in at both sides.This will sound weird but I walk around with a bed sheet in my top the first couple of weeks on rotation and in the evening put it on her next to me cot and when I put her down she could still smell me.

YesAlready buying a new car seat, we’ve been using the one that came with the mamas and papas ocarro pram (cybex atom 5 I believe) and Jesus it’s a nightmare getting baba into it now
I’m going to get a swivel chair - currently looking at the maxi cosi 360 but happy for any recommendations.
Also; anyone just find themselves shoving EVERYTHING in the loft lol? We won’t start trying for another baby for a couple of years but Im like hmm this will surely save a lot of money not having to buy all this again
I had the Joie 360. Definitely recommend!Already buying a new car seat, we’ve been using the one that came with the mamas and papas ocarro pram (cybex atom 5 I believe) and Jesus it’s a nightmare getting baba into it now

Hey, I have had both! Pessary for my first and recently had a balloon with my second. Pessary worked straight away for me (though I know that's not always the case) but the contractions were so intense and felt like they were constant, so bad compared to the contractions I had with my second.Posted this in the pregnancy thread but figured you guys might have some more recent experience too!
Had the midwife today, getting offered a sweep in 2 weeks timealso got given leaflets about induction, either an at home one (balloon) or the in patient one (pessary). Has anyone ever had either of them? Is one better than the other? Hopefully it won't come to that but I'd like to be prepared
How old is your baby if you don’t mind me asking? Our little girl is 4 months and is gonna be too big for her car seat soon so we’re have to start looking for another not sure which one to get eitherAlready buying a new car seat, we’ve been using the one that came with the mamas and papas ocarro pram (cybex atom 5 I believe) and Jesus it’s a nightmare getting baba into it now

Yep my little one is 4 months next week! He fits ok into it for now, but we just leave the car seat in the car, rather than carrying him in the car seat back into the house like we did when he was tiny. It’s soooo difficult getting him in and outHow old is your baby if you don’t mind me asking?
