Baby sleeping in his own room

I’m wondering if anyone has put their baby in their own room yet? If so, at how many weeks? I’m wondering if I can start putting my son in his own room with a monitor so that I can hear/see him. Midwife suggested he stays in the next to me till 6 months so not sure what to think!

Once your baby has started crawling and standing have you taken them out of their sleep sacks? My lo isn’t there yet but it’s going to happen soon. Looking at the options there are sleep sacks with legs or tog sleep suits

Naps

Did anyone set a nap schedule for their babies? I did with my first but my second doesn't seem to take naps (since birth barely any naps) and I feel like maybe it's bc I didn't set nap times?

Postpartum rage😥

I’m currently 8 weeks postpartum and everything my partner does at the minute is irritating. I know he’s trying to help or provide solutions to things I’ve brought up but sometimes it just makes me soooo infuriated and can’t help it. I feel crazy about it so I’m just hoping this phase passes quickly 😩

Not supporting me

I’ve chosen to exclusively breast feed and my partner has done nothing but badger me to go onto formula because “he’ll sleep better” which I don’t think is good enough reason. I had a really hard time breastfeeding my first she wouldn’t latch and we had loads of problems with it and it affected my mental health so I...

How long does it take you to get baby back to sleep?

So my LO is 7 weeks now and in general he sleeps well. He normally only wakes once during the night to feed. Now from when he wakes up to when he's back asleep it can take 1.5 hours. For us it's fast when it takes 45 minutes. Now my mom told me that it should take way less time during the night. Between nursing from...

Face down in bassinet

My baby is starting to roll over and she likes to sleep on her side almost face down into the mattress. Even if I turn her on her back she ends up in the same position. She’s going into her crib for the first time and I’m worried about this position. Does anyone know how to deal with it?
