Tall baby getting stuck sideways in crib

So, my baby girl is about 80th percentile for height. At least once a night, she wakes herself up because she tossed and turned herself sideways, and then basically hits her body on either side of the crib trying to move out of that position. If that makes sense. I'm sure she'll eventually figure it out, and she doesn't get hurt, just woken up by it. Are any other moms going through this, or is it just mine 😅 I don't really think there's solution to get her to stop. Mostly just venting. Sorry if this post makes no sense. I'm exhausted 😭

thank you ☺️

Bumpers aren’t technically recommended because their crib is supposed to be totally empty for safe sleeping, but they do grow out of it and eventually learn! My LO scoots forward in his crib until he bumps his head all the way on the end lol but he’s fine

I used the mesh above. My daughter did the same thing but she eventually learned how to rescue herself.

I have that problem as well. But my son is taller than 99% of babies his age. At 6 months he was already 2 in a half feet tall. He can’t fit in his bed anymore because he doesn’t have enough room to move. So I’ve been looking for a bigger bed for him, but until then he’s been sleeping with me. I just put pillows close to the wall so he won’t hit it.

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? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
