Duvets and Pillows

My little girl sleeps through fine but does move around all night in her cot whilst in her sleeping bag. I’m thinking of getting her a toddler duvet and maybe pillow to see if it helps her sleep a bit more soundly in one spot?
For those who’ve already switched, what advice would you give? What did you look for in terms of when to change?
Are sone people still very against it and are you sticking to sleeping bags with no pillows for a while longer?

If it’s any help, my boy stayed more still in a sleeping bag, no out of it he’s constantly getting himself in awkward positions and then crying for help very frustrating, happened 5 times last night on top of his dummy falling out etc but you won’t know unless you try it

Both mine have stayed more in one spot since sleeping with a pillow, could be a coincidence but that’s our experience. They both really love their duvets, I find they get really snuggled up in them. I just changed when the weather got colder and I thought they’d need more warmth x

My son rolls around like a rotisserie chicken - always has since 5 months and is 27 months now - and pillow and cot blanket did not change that until about 1-2 months ago - he finally pulls up the blanket and (by choice) throws the pillow out of the bed as he prefers sleeping without one 🤣 so no that won’t solve that - if anything a sleep bag at least ensures they stay warm as blanket would just get thrown off and then bubba would wake up when gets cold instead - on the bright side warmer weather is coming so won’t need sleep bags can just be in pjs - so I wouldn’t rush

We use a pillow but not a duvet. Seems to sleep a bit better with it z

My son still rolls everywhere and I have to keep an eye and recover him 🤦‍♀️ thankfully he doesn’t seem to wake up cold and seems to prefer a quilt.

I was just thinking maybe as her pillow and duvet are positioned then she may stick to one spot in her bed rather than be wriggling so much in her sleeping bag.

maybe a better fit if she’s sleeping ok to leave her in the sleeping bag then and see how she gets on. I still take teddys out so perhaps with a few around her she may be a bit more cosy

I might try pillow first just to see how she gets on with that x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
