Crib with high railing or mattress on floor

Hello! Does anyone have a crib that at lowest setting is over 19 inches to the top of railing? Or a crib that allows mattress on the floor with no gap? If you do could you kindly send brand and type? We have a crib that even at lowest setting my son can flip himself out of so looking for a better one 😞

We did a mattress on the floor (no frame) at first and now our toddler sleeps on a regular toddler bed! Make sure you’ve taught him how to safely climb in and out. Dream On Me Toddler Day Bed is what we have

I got a Five Little Monkeys bed for our little one and love it. Just popped it on the floor. It even came with a mattress protector. It doesn't need to be complicated. Just baby proof the room they sleep in and you are good to go.

Sounds like he needs a toddler bed. We just converted our mini crib into a twin bed, and my daughter loves it.

We have a toddler safe room, a baby gate in his door, and a mattress on the floor. It works.

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
