Has anybody started using a duvet for their baby yet?

I bought a 4 tog duvet for my boy today, and he’s in his own bed now (a floor bed), previously used a sleeping bag and have been using a blanket for the last two months as he was in my bed with me.

But I can’t stop worrying he’s going to get under it or something, I’ve put it over him like a blanket with his arms out but I’m panicking and last night I ended up sleeping on his bed room floor (it was super uncomfortable) because my anxiety was sky high 🙃

My LO has a duvet and very flat pillow and for a little over a month now and he’s is absolutely fine, I’ve never seen him go under the duvet. Be only sometimes kicks the duvet off xx

Mine has one for the first time tonight! I've tucked the end in, he looks super cosy

What size duvet did you get? I'm going to be moving my boy to a floor bed soon too , how does your baby find it?

that’s a bit reassuring haha. He does kick his blanket off. I feel like I’m going to have a sleepless night🤣xx

that’s a good idea, I think I’m going to go do that 🤣 he seems so small and it’s only a cot bed duvet haha xx

we got a 150 x 120 one from Asda.
He loves his floor bed but he only had naps on it recently as we was cosleeping, and last night he went in for real but mrs anxiety over here slept on his bed room floor which I do not recommend 🤣xx

ooh we have been cosleeping too, hoping the transition is easy. Starting with naps seems like a good idea!

I'll be the same with the anxiety, planning to put another mattress next to his so I can sleep there, though I guess that's not that different to cosleeping 😂

yeah sometimes he kicks it off sometimes it he moves up the bed and comes off!

I make sure it tucked in at the bottom of the bed so can’t all scrunch up xx

it is going fairly smooth up to now. I wasn’t too sure when the best time was but I read there wasn’t another sleep regression until 18 months. And I didn’t want him to get too used to cosleeping haha. He’s been in my bed since around 7 months

Mine has had a duvet and pillow for 2 months now and she sleeps so much better. She has never gone under the duvet, most of the time she ends up on top of it

What tog duvet is everyone using and what temp do you have the room?

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?
