Co sleeping

Hey moms that co sleep, what are you doing now about cosleeping now that babies sit up on their own after waking up? My baby fell twice from bed and I don’t want to co sleep with her anymore bc of that :(

I’m thinking of buying a pack and play 🤧

Aaaw! I’m sorry… If I’m in another room, I run lightning bolt fast when I hear him 🤣. I live in an apartment so it doesn’t take me long to get to him. He has pillows all around him and I even put some on the floor. I’ve been lucky, he cries a little before he sits up so I have time to get to him. We have a pack n play and crib. He hates his crib but will sleep half the night in pack n play. You can put the pack and play next to your bed.

I’m sorry that’s happening to you 😭
There’s bed bumpers and fences* I personally have the crib on one side (the crib is just there to put his vag and other stuff/storage 😂😂) and the bed is against the wall but there a number on that side do that my baby doesn’t get trapped in between. Me and my BF enjoy cosleeping with baby, specially cause I breastfeed, so my LO just gets on the boobs on his own, I always wake up but it’s more convenient than having to get yo and get him and then put him back, he literally falls asleep on the boob either next to me or on top of me, however he is ants to sleep and it’s so comforting for the both of us 💕💕

I put the mattress on the floor for peace of mind. I would put her in the crib already but she wakes up way too much , I would be exhausted!

So I started sleeping training my second when this happened to us... im co sleeping again now with my 3rd but I haven't had this happen yet (with my 3rd) I do plan to sleep train at 9m tho just to break the habit

Floorbed! We tried the pack and play but she still wakes up the same amount and I was so exhausted having to get out of bed. The mattress on the floor works great for now. We also have a bedrail on one side

I put my bed to the wall in fear of that happening so I put him on the side of the wall
When he’s a his dad house his dad put those railings you can attach to your bed so that baby won’t fall off the bed

I ended up purchased the bed rails for my peace of mind. My girl fell once while my hubby leave her while she slept and since she’s already sit up and stand up on her own and we live in apartment so it’s kinda hard to adjust her crib next room and I found out co sleeping is much more easier so far. Might be use the crib while she’s getting older but not rn

I have a body pillow on one side of the bed, a pillow at top of the bed and on to his other side. So he’s kind of barricaded in. I have a monitor so I can hear him stirring and I come in before he has a ton of time to start crawling around. My baby crawls. I also have him sleep in a sleep sack which I think makes it a little less easy for him to move as quickly

I put my mattress on the floor and that helped a lot.

We kicked my son out of the bed once he started rolling out when we weren’t with him. Bought him a crib comforter set so that he would feel like he was still with his and he transitioned smoothly!

Our “toddler bed” comforter set has elastic on the bottom of the blanket do that babies can’t pull it over their heads. My son is now two and my Feb baby is currently using it. Neither fin them have ever pulled the blanket over their head !

I bought a pack and play and went for one with a thicker mattress. I try to get her in it when she first falls asleep because if I leave the room there is no running to her. She is fast and could fall if I was 5 ft away. So then I can do whatever I need to do for the night. But she will often wake up after 4-6 hours and then we co-sleep. But if I’m in the bed she’s not going to crawl off. That could be different with yours.
No sleep training and using all the “wrong” methods of getting her to sleep. Maybe I’ll regret it but it’s gonna be tough now or later and I’m going for later once I decide to let go of nursing.
I considered rails but so far have been okay.

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

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 :(
