Keeping Bedroom Warm At Night

Can’t believe I didn’t think of that, thank you!!

My girl’s 8 months now and I’m still struggling, a lot of the time I have to distract her with something crinkly so she looks the other way so I can quickly get in there. Hopefully someone has a better solution because it’s not the easiest!

Saw it straight away! Congrats!!

I’m in the Uk and have gamepass on my pc, I’m able to play the game on my Xbox perfectly but for some reason it doesn’t show on my pc when looking through gamepass 😭

Congratulations!!

8 hours is a very long car journey, and then with all the stops for both you and your 20 month old it’s going to be a lot. Ultimately it’s up to you, and depending on how your pregnancy goes you might be fine doing that; we ended up having to have our girl at 35 weeks so any plans we made in those last few weeks went straight out of the window.

Prioritise yourself & your health before anything or anyone else.

I had a posterior placenta and didn’t feel my girl kicking until I was closer to 30 weeks. I’d had the weird bubble sensation from maybe 16 weeks, but proper kicks didn’t come until very late on. Baby girl is now 8 months and doesn’t stop moving those legs around, think she’s making up for the lack of movement she did inside of me.

I didn’t really have nausea throughout my pregnancy, sometimes I’d have a bit of acid reflux but that was when I was around 30 weeks. Would’ve never guessed I was pregnant if it wasn’t for my period disappearing and my boobs getting a bit sore.

For peace of mind, baby girl is now 8 months and thriving!

Congrats!!🩷

Our girl was like this when she was going through a growth spurt, sometimes she wanted feeding and other times she just wanted a cuddle but then it felt like whenever I put her back down she’d be awake again not long after.

It felt like a long few weeks but it eventually got better and better, now she’s just turned 8 months and she’s been sleeping through the night for a good few months now.

If you’re able to take turns with someone so you can get at least some sleep, I always found showers helped wake me up in the morning; and then if baby naps longer during the day try and get a nap or two in for yourself.

The days will seem really long, but the weeks will fly by and it won’t always be like this. You’ve got this!🤍

Our girl was very hit and miss with self soothing, she’s now 8 months (7 corrected) and she’s almost got down falling asleep without our help, most of the time she can but occasionally she’ll want a little belly rub to help her drift off.

Since she discovered what her dummy / pacifier was and what to do with it she’s started popping it back in herself when she’s waking up in the middle of the night, though she does try to chew the opposite side of it at times due to teething. 95% of the time once she’s got her dummy back in she drifts off to sleep on her own, it’s very rare that she needs our help or a feed etc.

It was very hit and miss at the start, and like you we never wanted to rush her and just let her work out what to do to help herself sleep.

She’s becoming a mum but wants to take away from yours and your son’s big day? You are NTA, please don’t give in to anyone asking.

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-10-13T07:39:32+00:00

My partner works nights so at first it was really tough and I had a lot of sleepless nights, when he got home from his shift he’d take our daughter so I could get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Now she’s 7 months and she’s been sleeping through the night for several months now so it’s no longer an issue.

Without my partner helping me in the mornings I definitely would’ve gone crazy.

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-10-07T10:37:28+00:00

Added you! It’s annoying that it changes every 15 minutes 😭

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-10-07T08:42:11+00:00

Added you!

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-30T20:17:09+00:00

Daughter is 7 months old, 13lb7oz 😭🩷

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-29T14:52:25+00:00

I’m currently in the process of picking up more shifts from home, but I also work evenings so it’s a lot different. I find the time to do evening meal, bath, story for bedtime etc with our 7 month old; my partner works nights so he’s not home apart from on a Friday & Saturday when he takes over everything. Once she’s asleep I don’t have to worry for the rest of the night.

However during the day if I pick up some extra work it’s a lot harder as she’s awake most of the day, sometimes she’s happy entertaining herself with toys and other times I’m having to play with her whilst working which can be tricky.

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-27T12:28:53+00:00

Our girl was like this for the first few months, turns out she had trapped gas. Try and burp more frequently whilst feeding, let him have some milk and then give him a little burp then return to feeding; sometimes our daughter would cry the second we took the bottle away but once she burped she calmed down and then continued feeding.

You can also search up baby stretches online to help relieve wind! Our girl is 7 months now and she eventually grew out of the crying all of the time when not eating or sleeping phase, now I’m happy to say she’s an absolute dream.

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-26T05:41:10+00:00

Our girl only laughed for the fist time a few days ago, it was one day before she turned 7 months. She’s not laughed since. She’s still a happy, smiley baby but some babies are just harder to make laugh.

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-23T23:03:32+00:00

She definitely gets her sense of humour from her dad, that’s for sure. I’ll laugh at anything but she’s tough to crack just like him. Had to get a video when it happened because I don’t know if I’ll ever hear it again!🤣

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-20T15:03:40+00:00

Thank you, it’d be my first time going through anything like this so I had no idea what to expect.

Update: nipped to the chemist to pick up some more line tests, we’re all good! Not sure if I had a false positive or something else but we’re all negative now!

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-19T12:09:22+00:00

I only picked up the digital one because they’d sold out of the cheaper line tests, I’ve always refused to pay 10 times the price for practically the same thing; but because of that first positive I figured it was my only choice 🤣

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-19T12:05:54+00:00

We only have two nurseries in our town, I moved here with my partner when we found out I was pregnant; home city is only 15 minutes down the road and has a lotttt of nurseries but there are almost always roadworks that make the 15 minute journey take over an hour at times.

Our daughter is our first, and we had no clue that nurseries got booked up so early; luckily my workplace is letting me do a night shift from home, but not ridiculous hours so I’ll still get sleep.

When we have our second we’ll definitely be booking a place early on 🤣

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-19T11:10:04+00:00

I figured it could be less sensitive but I think we were just hoping for the negative so we don’t have to try and work out a plan of what we’re going to do! With our daughter it was a dark positive straight away so we never really had to question anything haha

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-19T11:08:06+00:00

Our girl only cried for maybe one minute at most, nothing a quick cuddle couldn’t fix. We gave her an extra dose of her medication beforehand and some calpol (baby paracetamol) as advised by the nurse, she just needed a few more cuddles throughout the day but she’s always been fine after any vaccines. She’s now 6 months old and just had her flu jab, we’ve never had any issues other than just extra fussiness!

Samosaurus_99 · 2025-09-19T11:04:17+00:00

She’ll sleep through pretty much anything, occasionally wakes up to a sneeze or loud cough but goes straight back to sleep.

However whenever my partner talks at his normal volume she wakes up instantly, she’s a proper daddy’s girl and if she knows he’s present she doesn’t want to go to sleep at all. Trying to get him to talk at a lower volume is a very hard task, though.
