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 :(

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

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

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.

Would this upset you…

Our baby never sleeps, so our current arrangement is I will feed her to sleep around 8-9pm and then when she wakes initially my husband will hold her in his arms until around 11pm-12am, then he puts her down and goes next door to the spare room to sleep for the night and I do the rest of the night alone (but obviously have been able to get a couple of hours head start on sleep while he’s been holding her)…

Today he has gone to watch the football with his friends and had several drinks and got home around 8pm… I fed her to sleep as normal and put her down and I heard him getting up to leave, when I asked where he was going he said next door, and when I was confused he said “I don’t trust myself to stay awake with her” implying he had drank too much and was using it as his excuse to get out of helping…

So not only have I solo parented all day, I now have to all night with no help at all, and then we are straight into the working week where it’s all on me…

I just feel SO ANGRY about it - if it was a one off thing or a special occasion it would be fine - but football feels like it’s on every other week and it’s not acceptable to me to drink enough where you are unable to support your struggling partner for the first couple of hours of the night?!

Do I have a right to be annoyed?????
