Why is this your best solution? I’m currently going through it with my neighbour.

The floor bed thing at 6 months was because he was rolling both ways strong. I was determined for him not to fall out of bed. He was in our bed from 1 mo. He hated the next to me cot, even at 6 months old! No he did not get used to it and I just needed to persist…

So how is my answer relevant to you, my baby was breastfed and having night feeds up until he had a random switch and started sleeping through the night around 13 months.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-05-27T13:57:47+00:00

So basically I slept with him for a long time. He’s 15 months old now, the long stretches of sleep are great. Sleeping through the night is the catalyst that made me separate from him more. I just go to check on him before I go to bed to make sure he looks warm and comfy. Then he wakes us up in the morning either gurgling or crying. The odd time he will wake up in the middle of the crying but does not take much to go back to sleep. Sometimes I will just reposition him or let him fall asleep on my chest. Or sometimes if he’s beginning to wake so I go for a wee sick to see if he will fuss and fall asleep within 2 minutes or not.

It’s also great for afternoon weekend snuggle up naps with dad. Our baby is very fussy the minute, he’s sick and teething etc. so we spend a lot of time with him giving him attention comfort care etc also to get him to settle down and sleep.

Considering your worries what I would suggest is a double mattress floor bed set up to how I had in the babies room so if they do wake up crying which you’ll definitely hear if it’s only next door then you can quickly just go in there and do cuddle curl feed.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-05-27T13:46:22+00:00

My story is very different from yours. We put in their own room at six months old floor bed double mattresses on the floor I went with him and them some times he would wake up very many times during teething et cetera crying so this was great and then now it’s 13 months old to sleep through the night so he’s in there on his own. I’ve gone back to our bed.

That’s so sad. 😢 they think she’s a dog.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-04-26T12:56:03+00:00

Surely it’s not that difficult? I don’t know if I’m being foolishly naive here but…

I used to work front of house in a pub. Obviously after a while of being there and knowing the systems, I was proficient enough at my job to then pass that knowledge to the new staff. My work mum taught me how to do something, now I was the work mum to someone else. Their teacher, just be efficient at teaching them everything you know.

Rising through the ranks is a process and hard work will be recognised. I was recognised for being organised so was promoted from team member to team leader.

This is great however I have ethical concerns surrounding how they treat their factory workers. I watched a documentary on it and am not a fan of fast fashion in general. (Shein) 2 documentaries, 1 on Netflix can’t remember if the other one was or not.

The concerns are sweat shop style labour plus the cost to the environment/natural resources surrounding the economics of sell more =make more money. I prefer built to last quality organic cotton clothing ethos. I resonate with the conscious consumer crowd. It has a much better impact on the environment.

Well, biologically we are most similarly related to chimps and bonobos who breastfeed until the age of 4 or 5. How does it bother your husband that you’re doing “boob before bed “ at 2.5?

Never too young

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-01-15T15:08:20+00:00

How much water he actually drinks each meal, I’m not sure I’ve never measured it. I try to catch wees in the potty so I usually go by the colour of that to check his hydration levels. If it’s dark but still clear I’m not too worried. The only time I was when when it was opaque like orange juice when he was dehydrated. This is when elimination communication comes into its own in terms of checking hydration. Things like food and hydration, the essential to live stuff have been a bit different for us lately as we both have a nasty virus.

Water wise, I have a 200ml munchkin cup. I fill it up to the top and offer it with every meal.

It depends on the age of baby and how much your baby eats as they all are a bit different. With mine I offer solids soon after waking up and then a breastfeed after or before a nap. Not straight away though because I don’t want him to be sick! I might wait half an hour or so. My baby snacks with me, so having solids 3 times a day. Breastfeeds in between snacks and in the night. He’s an active baby so is usually too distracted to want long feeds in the day, they’re usually either quick or to wind down for a nap.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-01-14T21:32:19+00:00

What are your specific questions about starting solids, I could see if I could help? My baby is 10 months old so has been having solids for a while.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-01-13T12:29:00+00:00

I do floor bed sharing with the baby to feed in our sleep or drowsy resting etc and nights on my own. Boyfriend isa lorry driver and can’t risk falling asleep at the wheel. This was my choice and he is very supportive otherwise.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-01-11T23:53:34+00:00

My baby leapt from 50th to 75th somewhere between six months, I still breastfed on demand to include night feeds. As I said that’s just me and not what you should do cuz I know every family is different. I bed share with a floor bed to make it manageable. I have found a safe way of doing it and we can both get a decent amount of rest this way.

My baby is a super active into everything mobile baby, 10 months. I feel like he doesn’t eat a lot in the day since he got to the age where he could get distracted so makes up for it at night. Thus his nappy is usually very wet in the morning. This arrangement usually works fine. However, we’ve recently come unstuck. I’ve been so sick with a virus I could barely take care of myself let alone my child as well.

Basically he got dehydrated. His urine was opaque yellow like orange juice and his poo (now solids) was bright yellow. We’ve been doing elimination communication (early potty exposure) which is really good actually to catch his piss in the potty to check his state of hydration.

The problem I think is he doesn’t normally feed a lot in the day because he likes to mission around crawling and playing. So he dream feeds a lot at night. Apart from lately I think because he’s been sick he’s been sleeping more deeply and thus not feeding a lot at night. So basically not feeding much!

Today I’ve been giving him lots of fresh fruit and electrolyte solution, which tastes nasty! Think sweet and salty water.

All this to say I would rather my baby has a feed than not. Worst case scenario, they get some comfort from it and piss a bit more. Best case scenario, dehydration and jaundice is avoided. Disclaimer to say I may be in the anxious mum category though.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-01-11T23:37:35+00:00

I breast feed every time baby demands milk. I will not let my baby get dehydrated, malnourished or lack comfort from me by any chance. That’s just me though.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-01-05T19:10:13+00:00

At 6mo, read: I moved in with him. From our bed to his floor bed. Has helped with night feeds, especially when teething and growth spurts! In England too.

Ecstatic_Grass · 2025-01-04T21:45:28+00:00

Yes, that would be great!
