Crib bumpers

I’m trying to figure out what I can use for crib side bumpers. My crib is a wooden crib and when she is in it she tends to turn her body in a circle moving around and bumps her head into the crib. Where do you guys get bumpers.

You should only use mesh ones. All other ones are not safe.

but she is hitting her head on a hard surface?

The use of any crib bumpers are not safe, they’re a suffocation hazard. The alternative is putting her in a bassinet with mesh sides

she will be okay. Babies are resilient.

You shouldn't use crib bumpers, even the mesh ones are considered iffy.
Does she hit hard? Does she cry? You could try talking with the pediatrician to see if they have any recommendations.

You really shouldn't use any

she hits it hard enough it leaves a mark

she will be fine. they hit their heads quite a bit as they become mobile. she will learn to not smack into the wooden bars. it’s all apart of learning.
the bumpers, even mesh, have high risk of suffocation and strangulation. just let them learn by doing.

My kids have a wooden crib as well. I did not use the crib bumpers. But I’ve noticed my girl hitting her head a little as well. But as she grows it won’t be a problem

Maybe you could wrap each bar with something? Like have padded sleeves made that velcro on? That way you don't have a bumper that poses a suffocation risk but you're still padding the bars.

Something like this https://www.etsy.com/listing/1301560819/ladder-bar-covers-rung-pad-tubular

Should I be concerned or am I overthinking?

My little boy is 15 months old, he’s recently taken his first steps and he says mamma and dadda and baba (he has said these for months) we’ve filled out the paperwork for his 12-14 month review and it looks like he isn’t meeting many of his milestones.

He doesn’t copy actions, point, clap etc. He doesn’t react when being spoken to, or to his name. He actively avoids eye contact.

He was so unresponsive to sound that we just had his hearing tested concerned he was deaf. They found that he could hear so he is just choosing not to react to any noises or sounds.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with their little ones? Should I be raising this with the health visitor and ask to be assessed for neurodivergent issue or a social communication problem like autism?

I don’t want to just slap a label on him, but I do feel that there are real concerns. All opinions welcome!!

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

Bed time tips for 8 week old

So I literally cannot get my 8 week down to sleep before 11:30pm every night no matter how early we start our routine. We tend to do bath every second night but every night consists of feed, up to bed, into pjs, book, feed to sleep. We could start this routine at 7 and it would still be the case of not selling til 11:30.

She doesn’t nap during the day well, we get a 30 minute in the morning, and a 1 hour in the afternoon only if I’m out the house. She’s never distressed when she’s awake all that time, quite the thing being nosey and having cuddles. She’s EBF and her feeds all through the day are LONG and last from 30-45 mins each feed.

Any tips/advice recommended on how to get to bed earlier or just how to get her to sleep in general.
