Sleep problems

I hate my baby's sleep. Since he was born he slept regularly but since he turned three months old, it's been a constant fight against sleep. Despite showing signs of sleepiness and having passed his window, he wants to stay awake, he cries and fights when we try to put him to sleep and I'm already EXHAUSTED, I'm fed...

What type of bed should I get for my son? New baby arriving shortly after his 9th birthday & he will need to swap rooms, giving his room to baby and toddler. His new room is a very small box room, big enough for a bed, wardrobe and drawers.

Pros and cons: Mid sleeper could be used for toys to be stored underneath. High sleeper could provide space for a desk, tv etc underneath but is this likely to last for years to come or will he outgrow before he's a teenager? Normal bed - not much space for things other than a few drawers built into bed but could ...

Bedtime

I’ve worked really hard to get my little one into a routine. I was wondering how many of you will stray from routine e.g. go out for tea and keep your little one up past bed time for a special occasion or is bedtime sacred?

Baby has stopped pooing

My baby had been pooing constantly for the last 4weeks since birth. She would do little ones all the time and then always do big normal poos. She has now stopped and hasn’t pooped at all since 2 evenings ago. I can tell she is trying and getting upset but she just can’t do it. Anyone else had this?

Nursery paint stains

So we have a set of clothes only for nursery which I’m prepared might get ruined. However, recently they’ve done some painting outdoors and his overalls are ruined by the paint. The stains don’t even fade in the wash. We only have one warm and one thinner overall for him, and even second hand they’re not super cheap...
