Following as we have the exact same next to me and the exact same issue. Put my little boy down in the centre of the next to me and woke up 20 minutes ago with him at the very edge with his nose squished into the side 🙃 anxiety now through the roof

Avatar

it’s so stressful isn’t it! ive just read online someone folded up a blanket and put it underneath the mattress around the edge and it’s created a bit of a tilt to keep baby in middle, so ive done the same on both sides, just so it’s kind of like supporting her in the middle if you get me? obvs the blankets are underneath the mattress so the crib is clear, im going to see how that works!! Xx

I might try the same but shouldn’t have to really! Hopefully it works otherwise I’ll be getting no sleep tonight 😅 xx

let me know how it goes 🫶🏼 i know it’s a nightmare, they love to worry us! i didn’t think something like this would be a worry whilst they’re so young 😅Xx

Mine does this too. He also manages to turn himself completely landscape and ends up at the foot of the crib. He won’t sleep in it without a blanket at the bottom for some reason which adds to my stress 🙃🫠

thank you ladies for the advice and reassurance! i’ve raised the edges slightly with a blanket underneath at both sides and she has stayed perfectly in the middle since her last feed, i hope it stays like this cos my anxiety just can’t deal 🤣💖

My little girl kept doing this aswel! I was jumping up In the middle of the night panicked when I opened my eyes and couldn’t see her face in the middle of the cot 🤦🏼‍♀️ I bought cosydream babymoov insert and it’s honestly the most used product I own now! Completely stops her rolling and I can bring her up onto our bed for a snuggle without having to worry shel roll off into us!

Avatar

Yeah my little one does the same thing. This may sound strange but my partner read that babies should sleep with feet pointing north and head pointing south 🤷‍♀️ so we tried it last night and he slept without a sound for 4 hours and also stayed on his back!! 🙏 xx

We have the same issue, as its strapped to the bed it isn't always level, we always make sure it's leveled out when we put our little boy down which seems to help, also ordered a firmer mattress for it which helped keep him in the middle as the one that came with it seemed abit soft x

is supervised use during the day ok? xxx

Same issue too !

Avatar

Omg going through the same thing with the same bed. I wake up to find his face squashed into the side of the bed and I move him into the middle so many times I just don’t know how he makes his way over right to the edge!

I’ve used it the last 5 weeks at night and my sister used it on her two kids with 0 issues , when you get it Youl see how flat the sides are it would be impossible for something to happen to a baby in it! And if you look up the product it says you can yous it for sleep , hope it helps you!

Not sure if you have one but we’ve been placing the Moses basket top inside the next to me until he’s a little bigger it fits perfectly. My son was the same we used to find him at the bottom of the next to me one night and it scared us! X

Avatar

if it were me, I wouldn’t risk it. I’d trust the lullaby trust over other’s anecdotal experiences because the guidelines are there for a reason xx

I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to spread awareness over this product being potentially dangerous. I've made a tiktok about it after seeing lots of people post about it (I had a terrifying incident where my baby was pressed up against the side barely breathing). Tutti Bambini just didn't care! Since posting on Tiktok so many other people have come forward! My advice is to complain to Tutti Bambini because the more people who report this issue, the more something might get done before something bad happens. I hate this crib so much!! It is poorly designed and causes a tilt when the baby moves slightly off centre, I even checked with a spirit level because I thought I was going mad! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGexnjewN/

no screen mums!!

are you absolutely 0 screens household? my boy is 6mo and me and my partner agreed no screens till 3yo, but I'm a sahm and showering is HARD when I'm alone, I've been thinking about recording myself singing the songs he likes and showing it to him for being able to shower.
What do you do?

Should I wake baby up to feed?

First time mum here, my baby is 2 months old today. Should I be waking her for night feeds? During the day she feeds every 2–3 hours, but at night she usually sleeps from around 11pm to about 3am, and I’ve been waking her then. Is that okay, or should I let her sleep?

Feeling guilty for co sleeping

My 6 month old has suddenly started to do abit of co sleeping in the night. She sometimes go back to her bed but alot of the time it’s out of pure exhaustion from me that I just let her sleep with me. I haven’t got any energy to be rocking her back to sleep and putting her down with possibly failing the attempt. But for some reason I feel a sense of guilt like I’m going to have problems later on if it continues. Someone put my mind at ease please?

Birthday postpartum

I’m due to give birth to our second child weeks before my birthday. My partner wants to know what I want to do but I don’t know what would be possible so soon. I already get things like facials and my hair and nails done and it’s been made clear none of those qualify as a present for my birthday 😅 I don’t know what more I could possibly do 😅 there’s no way I’m going to want to go on a day out 😂

Feel like I’m solo parenting

I’m so sick of arguing with my husband over this.

My daughter is 11 weeks old, and my husband works Monday to Friday. I look after her all day every day, and on the weekends and some evenings he goes out cycling. I don’t mind this, he gets extremely ratty and stir crazy if he doesn’t go out, and it drives me mad.

Lately. My daughter’s sleep pattern is all over the place in terms of the second stretch. She tends to go for 6 hours, then has a feed, then either goes for another 4 hours, or starts to fuss at about 5:30 am. (I realise this first stretch is a dream, please believe me I’m not complaining about that.

My husband starts work at 7 am from home, or leaves at 6 am if he’s going into the office.

This means that he comes home, feeds her once while I’m in the shower, while I handle all of the other feeds/ settling her off at night. I rarely go back to sleep after as I’m so wired. He also struggles to sleep once he’s awake, so when she fusses for her night feed, he’s up from around 4 am regardless of feeding her or not.

I see him for around 3 hours a day apart from weekends, and in that time I cook, he does the dishes and cleans the bottles. We then bath/wash LO, he feeds her, then we watch a film or show until her next feed at 9:30 pm.

He has gone up to bed early to try and get more sleep because he feels like he’s exhausted to the point of headaches. (I am too, but it seems like this isn’t as important because I don’t go to work. He acknowledges that it’s hard work looking after her all day, this isn’t the problem). I have stayed downstairs with her, because to me, disturbing a sleeping baby only to put her in a crib for 30 minutes after settling her again, to feed her and then have to restart the process is ridiculous when she’s asleep already.

I feel like I do everything. I feed and settle her every time. When he can’t calm her down within 10 minutes he passes her back despite me having her all day and him not seeing her.

I love my daughter more than anything, and my husband is lovely, I swear. It’s just a really tough time with her sleep, and I’m struggling to cope. I’m so, so tired. And he doesn’t seem to realise this, because he is. We have talked about this so many times, but it just turns into an argument. Please tell me this will pass?
