Hi moms, so my husband and I are separated due to marital issues, but living in the same house.

My son is 7 months and is crawling everywhere now. He has slept in our bed since 2 months old. We don’t really have the room to put up a crib nor can my mental health handle transitioning him into a crib. I’m just not ready. I’m trying to find options to keep him safe while staying in our bed. He goes to sleep at ...
My baby is 10weeks old and seems to be going to bed around 10/10.30 and that’s been the case for the past few weeks.

What time are you ...

Most I can get is 3 hours… Cannot get a routine ...

Recently my 9 week old has been fussing/crying when put into her next to me. I usually feed her and soothe her and once asleep, I put her down and within 10 minutes she wakes up.

Hi looking to hear from experienced mums who can tell me if I’m doing anything wrong or what I’m doing could lead to issues later down the line. So my 11 week old goes “to bed” around 6:30pm.
