rolling in sleep - what are people doing?

this past week has been a lil difficult as my baby now knows how to roll left right and centre but it’s throwing him off his sleep. he now refuses to sleep on his back & every time i place him back he just rolls on his side & eventually on his front 😅 my mom anxiety can’t take it so i keep flipping him back & then i need to settle him all over again. sometime he will even wake because he can’t do roll in whilst asleep.

for the moms that have gone through similar - do they eventually get over the frustration? i know if he knows how to roll then you ‘can’ leave them to it, but im still anxious he may get stuck and then panic - are you leaving them to roll on their front during the entire night?

*pic from when ive just caught him on his front again lol*

This is my little one, she sleeps in all positions and mostly on her stomach. I still put her on her back when putting to sleep but seconds later she starts moving

My friend says to keep they have the neck and head control
Now so know to move their head to breathe and it made me feel better x

If they get stuck and want to be rolled back they will cry. My sons been rolling back to front for months and when he’d roll over in the night before he could roll back he would just moan for me to rescue him 😂

we are the same. She sleeps on her tummy for like 6 hours and wakes up with puffy eyes. Except that I leave her and sometime she bumps her head😂

I was like this, the first night she done it i barely slept and kept flipping her back over but now ive got used to it i just leave her…at the start she used to wake up with it and would end up sideways and upside down etc but gradually she has got better and dies toll about but more just to her side and tummy to get comfy as we would! X

Just leave him. Will be fine.

I just leave mine on his front or side, he can roll and has strong neck control. If he ever gets stuck he shouts very loudly to let me know 😂

Showering with my baby? Is it unsafe/ wrong?

Is it weird to take a shower with my baby boy? Is it a bad thing? I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I can never shower I’m 11 weeks pp and my husband started a new job. He is gone all day to work and I can’t just leave my baby alone so I can shower. I can’t hear the monitor over the running water and even if he is sleeping if I leave the room he wakes up and starts crying and doesn’t stop unless I pick him up and if I put him down again he cries again and I’m against letting my baby just cry it out. So I’ve been neglecting my own self care and hygiene and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. So I guess what I’m really wondering is it wrong, and is it unsafe?

Am I over reacting?

MIL came over on sunday to help with childcare, I'm heavily pregnant so she said why don't you go for a nap while I'm here.
I had a 2 hr nap upstairs and during that time she fell asleep on the sofa for 1.5 hrs. I know because we have security cameras round the house which i looked at later on after she'd gone.
My daughter slept for 30 mins on her, on the arm of the sofa and then the rest of the time she was left with the TV on.
I'm really annoyed because we have a wooden floor, a coffee table that she tries to climb on, she had hair ties which she often pulls out and tries to chew therefore a choking risk.
She's 20 months old.
Am I over reacting?
The worst thing is when I came downstairs after my nap, she 'she's not had much sleep only about 10 minutes'. But idk how she'd know that because my daughter woke up ages before she did.

Bedtime

Hi mamas. I let my baby watch kids videos for bedtime until he gets asleep. Am I a worse mum??

Poo Help Needed 😱

My baby is approaching 6 months and is exclusively breastfed. A midwife warned us to expect that by this point, he would be pooing once a week and would make a big song and dance about it.

My baby poos once or twice a day, sometimes three times, without fail. Probably one in three is very vinegary, and they are in general smelly - I can tell he's pooed on smell alone.

They are also fairly explosive. He's in a larger size nappy than his weight to try and contain the poo as we have frequent blowouts! He also generally only poos in his car seat unless it's first thing in the morning!

Other than pooping, he seems completely healthy. He has maintained appropriate weight gain at his last check (which admittedly was at 3 months), but he's chubby and round. He also has plenty of wet nappies. I'd love to hear from people as to whether this is normal or whether I should be worried that this is an allergy or something!!!

How many poos does your EBF baby do a day / week? Please let me know!!!

Obsessed with hands

Is anyone else’s LOs obsessed with their hands?! My daughter is constantly sucking on her hands and sometimes will try to put her whole fist in. She also has a dummy and is getting frustrated as I think she also wants to suck her hands at the same time but then knocks the dummy out… anyone else in the same boat? And are you cleaning hands regularly?!

Large baby towels

Can anybody recommend some large baby towels please? That are soft too! LO is 9 months old and I need some bigger ones
