How to stop baby rolling in crib???

We've recently moved our 6 MO from her Snuzpod to her crib in her own room (which significantly improved her sleep) however she is constantly rolling on her front as she has more space. She doesn't know how to roll back yet so when she does this she is stuck but it doesn't matter how many times we roll her back she constantly rolls back onto her front. We had an incident the other day where we took her to a&e as she was crying sounding like she was in a lot of pain in the middle of the night and they believed it was a gas build up which she's never had and coincidentally she had slept on her front after her night feed so although this might not be related we decided to put her back in her Snuz (where she can't roll) but her sleep when she's in our room is really bad, she's awake constantly throughout the night, she won't settle and we've tried everything with the only thing that helped being her in her own cot in her own room. I'm sure I've seen anti roll sleep bags before but has anyone tried these or can recommend anything else???

I’m pretty sure you can’t stop them rolling in their sleep, it’s just something they do 🤷🏻‍♀️
The more you let her practise the quicker she’ll learn to roll back again as well.

Could an alternative option be to put the snuz pod in her room, so she sleeps better but can’t roll in it?

well that's what I thought but the safe sleep guidance puts a lot of pressure on making sure they don't do it that it can be quite scary just letting her😖 but that's absolutely an option I didn't even think of that! Thank you🙏🏼

when they can roll independently and get themselves in the position it’s absolutely fine to leave them to it.
I get it’s frustrating when they can’t roll back though as my 6 month old is doing exactly the same!

Do you hit your husband?

Like a smack on the back of his head or back
Or straight up hitting him and beating on him
Or not at all

Breastfeeding

I’m 4 days postpartum and up to now we have been bottle feeding. I think I have decided I want to try breastfeeding. My boobs have gone hard today and I think my milk has come in. Is it to late to try

Please

Please please please tell me I'm not the a-hole here or I'm not overreacting because I would have to take accountability and responsibility for my words and apologize. So a little backstory yesterday I did the overnight for our 4-month son. He's going through sleep regression. He was up every hour on the hour and I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. He got to sleep the whole night through. He didn't work yesterday and said he wasn't feeling good. Which okay. But I managed to get all the laundry folded and put away and go grocery shopping and make dinner. That's 2 hours of sleep I had to adult on. Now today he did the overnights last night and my son slept longer. We have my two daughters from her previous marriage. I am not only doing laundry. I'm doing dishes. I'm making lunch for them and I'm also trying to take care of my 4-month-old. He comes in and says he's tired now. I told him to do the laundry because I can't always get to the laundry room because I live in an apartment and the laundry room is on the other side of the building. He left a basket of clothes that were still damp and he came in and said I'm tired and I don't feel good. He's highly allergic to cats and we have three and on top of that he smokes and he has horrible allergies so his sinuses are probably pissed off. Am I wrong for being angry? I don't get to have a day off even when I'm tired. He does right now. He's sleeping because my son is sleeping. WTF 😒😒😒

To shave or not to shave

What is everyone planning or done in the past when it comes to shaving downstairs for labour and delivery. And if it’s not shaven when waters have broken has anyone stopped to shave or planning on doing it. Just wondering…

You just buckled your kid into the car seat after they fought and cried and made it take several minutes longer than normal. You get in the drivers seat and go to open your gps to realize you left your phone in the house. What do?

Is your answer different if it’s a house versus apartment?
