Sleep sack/ white noise

Does your baby still use a sleep sack and white noise to sleep? When did you stop or plan on stopping?

Our son still uses both and no plans to stop yet. I like him wearing his blanket vs kicking it off and getting cold, and it’s a helpful step in nap or bedtime routine that lets him know what’s coming. He smiles when we put his sleep sack on bc he knows it’s time for bed.

Yes and no plans to stop anytime soon!

Not stopping any time soon! My daughter loves her Merlin sleep sack and white noise. The minute it turns on she knows what time it is 💜

Same as everyone above! I never used white noise myself before him and now even I sleep with it 😂 I’ll probably keep him in a sleep sack until he can crawl out of the crib!

We stopped the sleep sack when she started standing up in the crib cause she would trip on it and fall into the crib rails lol. We use lullaby music to sleep and dont plan on stopping that

We switched to a blanket. Only because she hates a sleep sack. My first used one until she was like 2.5.

As far as white noise goes... it lives rent-free in our house.

halo has sleep sacks with feet holes! My oldest loved them!

I did not know that!

We have the Merlin sleep sack that has feet holes. We swear by them! My daughter has the ability to stand and crawl with it and it has a blanket like feel to it. We have 2!

My son still uses both. I haven’t thought about when to stop. The sleep sack will probably come to an end before the white noise does

Thank you so much ladies! I still use both as well. My husband is sick of the white noise (baby sleeps in our room) but at this point I depend on it for sleep now too🤣 and I was wondering when to transition to a blanket but l love his sleep sack and when I put it on he knows what time it is as well! I might get him a sleep sack with holes for his feet I like the ones from kyte baby

We have a sound machine that we use on ocean waves and it works great. No sleep sack anymore- my son runs hot

Yes- as others have said, no reason to stop with either. My older daughter is 4 and still relies on her white noise. I think it’s so helpful. The sleep sack, I’m in no rush to stop. I’m thinking closer to 2. But for now, my son also loves his.

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....

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!

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.

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!
