My daughter is almost 13 months old, and it seems like she's never going to sleep alone. I don't want any judgment because I already know I've done this to myself. I don't feel comfortable with my daughter being in a different room than me right now because she will still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night. She's been sleeping in my bed since the day we came home. Now I'm ready for her not to be in my bed. How can I transition her into a pack and play for now until I feel safe to have her in her own room?

My son will be 14 months old come the 11th and he still sleeps with us at least partially. The pack and play might not be working due to how low to the ground they tend to be. With my son the way we get him to sleep in his crib, which is in our room, I'll rock him to sleep with his night time bottle after he's fully out that's when we transition him to the crib. Sometimes he'll wake up from a bad dream or needing a change or bottle but for the most part he'll sleep in his crib through the night. It may take a little bit to get the transfer to work. For use it took at least a couple days to a week for me and my husband to figure out how to transfer him to his crib without waking him. Which is also why I say a pack and play might not work as great, for us the faster we get him laying down the more successful 😊

My 6 year old just started sleeping in his own room about 5 months ago. It drove me crazy, because he is a hair puller in his sleep, but I kind of miss it now. Try a toddler bed next to you for now. We had one at the foot of our bed in case we needed him out (for sanity reasons 😅). That way if he woke up he could just crawl onto the bed with us. I totally understand wanting her out, but it will happen when it happens. For reference, I have two older boys (16 & 14) who were in their own beds way sooner, but started out in a toddler bed in my room, for my comfort. They would sleep in their own space since about 15-18 months old.

My son is 22 months and I'm working on transitioning him also it's definitely going to be an interesting process

I built my son a bed that attached to mine when he was a baby and now He’s 6 and still sleeps by me.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
