Baby arms and feet fitting through the crib bar gaps! Please help

We bought my 6 month old a 3-in-1 cot suitable for 6 months to 5 years with good reviews online by the gaps in the side bar panels are large enough to fit his little arm and leg popping out! What should I do?
Should I be checking him all night to re-adjust him (he rolls from centre of crib to edge and ends up with limbs at the rails / sometimes popping out)

I had the same issue and bought mesh crib liners from Amazon!

There’s no issue if their arm/ leg is sticking out, you could put them in a sleep bag to prevent their legs sticking out?
Don’t get any kind of cot bumpers they’re a suffocation risk

It's totally normally for them to be able to stick an arm or leg out the cot try not to worry it will happen and they will learn in time

Yes I think this is normal! Mine is often sticking a limb out and has been since he was little!

This used to freak me out as well but baby will fine. The mesh liners increase risk for SIDs. I had the monitor on all night. If baby is in discomfort they will cry

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

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

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
