Duvet in cot bed

So this may be a very silly question but the duvet is way bigger than I thought it’d be. How does this fit in cot bed with the sides up and still be safe?

What’s the size? We bought one to fit the cot bed from Ikea, with a H&M duvet cover

I don't think it is safe with the sides on but I could be wrong. We are still using sleeping bags.

I wouldn’t risk it. Little one can’t kick the duvet off or remove it from the sleep space. It’s a suffocation or entrapment risk. We use the love to dream and Tommee tippee footie sleeping bags and a large cellular cot blanket for our 2 year old who’s in a single floor bed! x

it’s got bed size. A silent night one. It’s the standard size I’m assuming with the covers from Dunelm

She’s always had a sleeping bag but lately has been fighting it and takes it off at night. Hence the reason I thought maybe it’s time to switch to a duvet. I might have to try the sleeping bag with the feet and persevere. She does seem too tiny for a duvet. She does have a pillow though and has had for a few months now which she’s been fine with

I’ve switched to a duvet, same as yours and no issues. I still have the cot sides up and he’s been fine, in fact he seems much happier since the switch x

I bought one and it was too big. I use a quilt. They are prefect size at this age.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
