Baby rolling on front at night

So it’s night 2 of baby being in her cot and in her own room. Night 1 went badly so I’ve already got anxiety. She’s been asleep since 8 but has rolled onto her front. She can roll both ways but now I’m just worried. What do you do? I have been tempted to roll her over but I can’t be doing that when I’m asleep. I feel another sleepless night coming on 😩

Just leave her, she’s got her head turned and she’ll just keep rolling over anyway. My boy sleeps on his front all night every night!

Ok thanks I’m trying to relax but it feels like when I brought her home from hospital again 🙈

My little one only sleeps like that, I was attentive at the beginning but once they know how to roll back I believe it's fine

My lg has been sleeping like this for a couple of months now, she hardly ever sleeps in her back. I sat and worried for the first few nights, rolled her on her back and by the time I’d stood up straight she’d rolled onto her front again, so I gave up. As long as they can roll and keep their heads turned, they’ll be fine and probs sleep better for it.

Our LB started the exact same thing when we first put him in the big cot. Had a few nights of rolling him back over and me not sleeping with worry but he just kept rolling back. He will only sleep on his front now so, I just put him in a sleeping bag now instead of a blanket.

Unfortunately it’s going to happen and although it’s scary you will get used to it. My little girl has been sleeping on her front from around 4 months old. As long as face isn’t smushed into the matress it’s ok, if they’re nose/mouth are covered they will move their head. Try not to worry, easier said than done but you will get used to it x

Thank you all. It was a really good night although she did bash her head on the side of the cot but it didn’t seem to bother her. I didn’t get much sleep but I definitely feel better about it! Xx

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
