🤷‍♀️ Probably around 8, he crawled off a few times.

Not the bed really, but the couch definitely. Especially since turning one my LO decided she wants to be a dare devil and jump off or roll off all the time 😂

2 times already, the first time we took him to the ER and found out he had an arachnoid cyst and needed brain surgery, 2nd time I thought he was asleep and he wasn't and fell off the bed.

Ehh about 4. We are usually right there. I’ve caught her 2 of the times where she barely/ didn’t even land but there other 2 she was just too fast & I didn’t even see how she landed 😫 I always check her head & limbs & watch how she acts but I’ve never taken her to the hospital

Plenty of times he basically crawled off. He learned tho. Now he’ll just get close and look over the edge and turn around. (By plenty I mean like 5 times)

twice, first time i fell asleep breastfeeding and he rolled off i immediately woke up and felt horrible second time he crawled off (he wasn’t even crawling prior to the day he fell which is why he was just in my bed) both times he was perfectly fine just startled

I think 3 times lol she never got hurt, just scared her for sure! I taught her how to get off the bed for that very reason😅

A few times

My baby moved fast so he was unzipping his bassinet at 3 months

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

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....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

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!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
