Sleep

Hi all! I'm just curious if people are still using sleep sacks at 10 months and/or when to transition to blanket at night. Little one is almost outgrown his sleep sacks so I'm debating on buying more on a bigger size or start using blankets since he's almost a year old.

We will be waiting until they are 2 years or older to transition.

I’m curious about the same question! Following along. We are in a sleep sack at home at almost 10 months. Our little girl always likes to stand up in her crib, so her daycare teachers have stopped using one because she trips on it there. I guess she naps without anything at school. Wondering if I should be buying bigger sleep sacks, sleep sacks with feet out, or transition to blankets.

I've never used sleep sacks for mine I just swaddle her still and when she falls asleep (assuming she needed extra snuggles and I put her to sleep myself) I just unswaddle her and put a blanket over her she has been using blankets since she was born

We plan on using the sleep sack till shes closer to 2

We don’t use the sleep sacks honestly. We probably will in the winter when it’s colder in the nursery but we probably will keep using them until a doctor says otherwise.

Blankets scare me cuz my little one is always pulling them above his face but for my older son I got a sleep sack with feet off Amazon it was warm and perfect I will getting another one as soon as my little grows out of the sleeping sack he is in now this is the one I had I loved it https://a.co/d/ffLqXxu

My LO is a rolly polly so sleep sacks would be the only way to keep her warm this winter. I just bought her new long ones from the brand Purcomfy on amazon, I loveeeeee them so much! I literally bought 6 from them since she was born

We started our little one with blankets during the day when we could monitor her when she was 3months old. We occasionally play with a blanket making sure she’s able to get a blanket off her face if she needs to. She was 6months old when she started sleeping with a blanket in her crib at night time. we make sure it’s not a big blanket and it is the length of her and always place it on her horizontally.

Mine doesn't like sleep sacks. We use a flannel blanket on her which I like because it's a bit stiff and holds its form without molding to her body. She also gets super hot, so she'll sleep in an undershirt with the blanket on her waist. She wears onesies on cooler nights without blankets! Ive had friends that buy sleep sacks until they're much older! Do what makes you feel most comfortable 😊

I used a sleep sack with my love until she was 5 months old when we transitioned her to a floor bed! That way she can get up and move around if she needs! But if you’re keeping them in a crib I’m sure you don’t need to transition out of the sleep sack until they’re ready!

Mine used one all the way until 2 when he got his big boy bed

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

Crawling and walking

So my girl is 9 months now and shes great at sitting up and stays on her tummy for awhile but she seems to have no interest in trying to move or crawl or bum shuffle. Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum

Night feeding in sleeping bag

Do you guys keep your baby in their sleeping bag when you feed them in the night, or do you take it off? I take it off as don’t want him to be too hot but then sometimes when he’s sleepy after his feed and I go to put it back on him he wakes up and is fussy. Not sure if I should just keep him in it?
