We are considering a floor bed around the 5/6 month mark and already own an avocado green mattress that we would like to use. I reached out to the company to ask what the firmness difference is between the infant mattress and the green mattress. Per the website, the green mattress is rated as a...

Curious what others do. Baby started sleeping in bed with me at 4 months old and I leave the sound machine on all night just because that’s what we were doing before. She’s now 7 months and tbh I’m not sure if it makes a difference at all. Maybe it helps cover any small noises I make? But I also...

hey there i have a unique question i haven’t been able to find the answer for in the facebook groups on threads here: i want to buy a sidecar sleeper - i heard ikea has one? but my bed is pretty low. Also, my partner and i do sleep shifts - sleeping parent in the bed upstairs - baby duty parent...

Hi all I started bed sharing with my LO at 4.5mo and he’ll be 6mo next week. My husband is a sound sleeper and super loud snorer so we kicked him to the couch with a kiss and a pillow lol. So just my son and I sleep in a king size bed and I have my son on a firm bassinet mattress and it’s...

Hello, I’m considering co sleeping because my son only sleeps while he is being held at night. I have something similar to this portable bassinet and was wondering if I have my son in this on the bed next to me, is this safe? I’m having trouble finding information on this. Has anyone done...

Hi, has anyone found bed rails that lie flush or "seamless" against the bed , ie they have like a ledge that overlaps the mattress, so that there is no gap? This one seemed perfect, but very few reviews, and they say that it only works on a wood bed frame...

Has anyone added a bed rail to their ikea malm bed? The mattress is supported by slats and slightly recessed into the frame. I’m trying to figure out if a simple bed rail like this would work with my bed frame...

ISO very firm twin mattress to sidecar for my 10 month old. We have been cosleeping since birth, and we just need a bit more room since he’s become mobile. I plan on putting the twin pushed right up between the wall on one side and our queen bed on the other. It will be a few inches shorter...

My baby has recently started sleeping on her stomach. We are looking for a firmer mattress to safely cosleep since our current one is a medium firm and it sinks in a little. Anyone use HAUGESUND mattress from IKEA and can confirm firmness/safe for cosleeping...

After being deep in decision paralysis trying to buy a mattress for sleeping on the floor with baby, I’m this close to making a purchase. Thought I’d lay out the choices I found in case it helps anyone else make a purchase—and maybe you can help me make the final call. Told my husband I’d sleep...

Looking for your tried & true recommendations on a good mattress for a play yard/pack n play!? (I know this sub will have the best advice!!) This would be for overnight sleep, so I’d like it to be more quiet if possible. Prefer to pay under $50 CAD for it. Found this one on Babies R Us, but...

My 9 week old likes to be cuddle up close to me. It’s getting warmer where we live and our room tends to be hotter than the rest of the house at night. I have our AC set to 73 degrees F, how should I dress my baby at night?? A short sleeve legless bodysuit? A zip up onesie with arms and legs...

How do I set my bed up to help baby not roll? Our bed is off the ground, he’s not really rolling yet. He’s 7 weeks. But would something like this work...

Hey there! We’ve been bed sharing on a floor bed with our 7-month-old for the last three months. Before that, we were using a Halo swivel bassinet. The floor bed is working fine, but we’re a little uncomfortable and want some more space. I’ve been looking for a bedside sleeper with a pull-down...

We are planning a trip to Europe with our baby who will be about 3.5 months. I can’t guarantee the firmness of any of the mattresses we will be sleeping on-what do y’all do when traveling and mattress firmness is unpredictable? Given the way my older daughter was at the same age, I highly doubt...

Space is tight, but I’m wondering if the maxi will really get us that much more use as it’s only 3 extra inches width and 2.5 in length. Anybody regret going with one or the other? My guy is 4 weeks old and not on the huge side, so I’m thinking we may be ok w original.

I have 6 month old twins (3 month adjusted). Baby B needs to be resettled every 45 minutes so I’m going to explore cosleeping to save my sanity. I’m going to stay in the nursery so I can quickly tend to Baby A who will stay in his crib. Last night I put baby B on his mini crib mattress on the...

I recently upgraded my blanket for bed sharing and wanted to share with y’all. No one else can appreciate the challenge of finding a safe but cozy blanket for bed sharing! I know some families go blanketless, but it’s winter here in Canada so that’s not an option for us. I have been using a...
