# Sleeping

Does anyone have any tips? My nearly 4 week old just won’t seem to settle in our bedroom unless she’s on the bed, she will settle in every other room in the house but not ours.

**AITA**  
In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

**Baby clothes**  
Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?  
Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.  
I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.  
Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

**This might rattle some people**  
Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.  
So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.  
Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.  
A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

**At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood**  
My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.  
We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc  
But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice?

**Car seat**  
No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

**Dummy**  
My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.  
Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.
