Any mummy's use a duvet for their babies who move around a lot in their sleep?

With my first I didn’t introduce a duvet until 2 when I converted the bed to a cotbed.

Is that cause they moved around a lot in their sleep or just your personal preference?

We cosleep and have introduced one, did the same with my eldest. We rearrange the duvet as needed. If they are cold they will wake us.

I don’t in his bed but if he comes in ours first thing before we get up I cover him over with the duvet for him to get used to it a bit. He tends to sleep sideways at the bottom of his cot so I won’t do a duvet yet until he stays put in the middle

Thanks for the responses everyone! My and my LO don't cosleep so I'm having to base this off what I see in the monitor through the night which becomes pretty hard to gauge. At the minute she's in a sleeping bag. When I put a blanket over the top of her as well. She stays pretty still all night. When she doesn't have the blanket on and just her sleeping bag, she's everywhere. Don't know what she'd be like with no sleeping bag and just a duvet. A bit scared to try but I think she m8ght prefer it if she's good with a blanket

I’m too scared to do it that young encase they suffocate but I know they say 1+. It’s just for me I only feel comfortable once it’s converted to a cotbed.

@lesley, when you say a cotbed, do you mean like with the sides off?

Avatar

Yes. The cot I have only one side comes off to convert it to a cot bed. I know my LO isn’t ready for the cotbed. I’m sure I am being OTT but it is something I’m paranoid about.

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. 🥺

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?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

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? 🥲

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?
