Sleep suit vs sleep bag

I’m looking at love to dream products for my 20mo. We used sleep bag before and I was happy with it. It’s time to move up the size for winter, but I can’t decide what is better: sleep bag seems snugglier and cozier and she still can move her legs freely, but sleep suit is safer if she decides to go somewhere in it.
Any advice, experience, please?

I love using the love to dream sleep suits for my son and would definitely recommend them

I’ve just bought an Ergo Pouch sleep onesie for my 19mo so my little one can get out of his floor bed safely. He loves it, sleeps better as he got twisted in sleeping bags. It’s handy for him to stay in the onesie when he comes downstairs too, while the house is still warming up.

Tomee Tippee do a GrowBag free leg version that’s similar and cheaper but I liked his arms and toes being covered (optional).

We got some sleeping bags with legs for our 20months as she kept falling over in the traditional sleeping bag. She loves them

I’m looking at this one. Is it something you use?

oh, that looks really nice. Thanks!
The one I’m thinking has wider legs, will have to consider that now 😂
Do you put on socks underneath this one?

Avatar

Yes we use this one. My son is very active and is up as soon as he wakes so that’s the main reason I got this. It’s great quality, even after many washes

Avatar

thanks! Do you put socks additionally?
Yes, their quality is really nice. I love their onesies too. Pricey, but good.

At 20 months I think a blanket is best

Nope, no socks needed as feet can be covered with it

she has it now, but every now and then she gets uncovered and I have to check and go put it back during the night.
I have to make sure she is warm as we prefer to keep the room cool for a night sleep.

No, you don’t need socks as there is a toe cover that you can choose to fold over the feet or not. They can still walk in it, but once he’s up I roll up the foot cover and pop on his slippers.

This is exactly why I got the suit. My little one kicks off the covers and then gets cold. Now I can relax and know he’s always covered.

I see, my mom made my son a quilt and it stays on him quite well but I know those aren’t everyone’s preference.

If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!
