Husband doesn’t want toddler sleeping in our bed

So my 3 year old comes up to our bed in the night, usually around midnight. We have a huge bed and he sleeps on my side yet my husband doesn’t like him coming in our bed. To me I have no problem with it, he wakes up and wants to come for cuddles and goes straight back to sleep. I get that it’s like a routine for him...

Has anyone tried the Maxi Cosi Iora?

I was looking at this bedside cot instead of the Snuz as we are likely to have a tall baby so it will last longer and it folds up nicely to use as a travel cot. However, I read quite a few reviews that say it sits on a slant and that they have woken up with their babies having slid to the end of the cot with their f...

Naps

How do you get your baby down for a nap? I feel like we’ve got into a bad routine where I put him in his bouncer and put a particular baby sleep music video on YouTube that he drifts off to. It’s the screen time I’m worried about but it does seem to calm him down. Should I change this?

Weeping while asleep

Tonight is the 2nd night (not in a row) that I’ve heard one of my twins weeping in her sleep. Like she’s crying in a dream but not in real life. I know it’s possible for adults but never heard of it with infants nor have I experienced it with my son or my other twin. Idk if I should be concerned???
