21 month old falling asleep on side of crib

I posted about my 21 month old suddenly refusing sleep both nap and bedtime a few days ago. Well now she’s “sleeping” but doing it on the side of the crib. (Pic included) she’ll jerk herself awake but instead of laying down in the crib she just stays on the side. For naps I just let it happen but for bedtime I will ...

Clicking sound

When my baby breastfeeds he's got a clicking sound when he sucks. Not all the time, but enough times to notice. I have to really try quite a few times to get the latch properly to not hear clicking. Is this normal, purely coz of a bad latch or is this a sign of something else like tongue tie?

Reverting a bottle preference?

Has anyone been able to revert their babies bottle preference? My girl is 12 weeks old and she recently (as of two weeks) has wanted a bottle too up! She’s progressively latching on my breast for shorter and shorter amounts of time before she literally won’t latch anymore as if shes full and doesn’t want but I know ...

A very tired mama

My little one has developed now to wake every hour at night. We never had this issue before, she is around 5 and a half months old. We are used to her doing 7pm-7am with around 1 or 2 bottle feeds. I’m not sure if it’s sleep regression, or if she is getting separation anxiety from now being in her own room. She has ...

Travel after baby (without baby)

I’m due end of June and one of my best friends (I’m in her wedding) is having her bachelorette party Labor Day weekend, so the first weekend of September. I know most of the girls going including two of my cousins, but I’m wondering if ~2 months is too soon to leave baby? I’m not planning breast feeding & I know my ...

Blocked users

If you block someone on here, does your conversation disappear from their chats list? I stupidly shared my child’s name with someone as we were having a back and forth conversation and they seemed nice enough but they stopped replying after I told them what my child’s name is. They were still making their own posts...
