My 19 m/o gets out his crib and comes to our bed

Looking for some guidance lol, my 19 month old has learned how to climb out of his crib and come to our room and bed when he wakes up after sleeping a couple hours. Not sure what to do? He doesn't stay asleep the entire night and will now come straight to us to sleep.

For a while I've just been trying to get him back to bed till morning and now he's smart enough to come to our bed. Idk what to do... Help???

I'm the worse when it comes to this scenario. My youngest (16) still on occasion chooses to sleep in my bed. I could never keep up with the whole, put them back in their bed, thing. I chose peace and sleep.

this has been me lately! lol choose peace!

thanks so much! I will go ahead and work on transitioning to a toddler bed. We're gonna work on it!

As mentioned you need to move him out of the crib now as it’s no longer safe.
We have a stair gate on our toddlers bedroom door so he can get out of bed but not out the room

this is great advice! Thanks so much 🫶🏼

thanks so much for the advice! I'm going to look into that to try :)

I would say time for a toddler bed and maybe a stair gate if he won’t stay asleep once he’s climbed into bed with you.
Ps
Super cute that he gets up and comes to you for cuddles in the night 🥰

Yes I think it's time too! We are moving soon so we'll get him a toddler bed to transition into, hoping he can adjust well :) and yes, I love my boys cuddles! 🥰 I just want him to have a great nights rest

Overfeeding newborn?!

Today I found out from my GP that feed on demand relates to breastfeeding. I’ve in fact been overfeeding my precious newborn and I feel both embarrassed and guilty.

I’m neurodiverse so I took that phrase literally and although I shouldn’t I feel so bad. She’s been in pain and her stomach was large!! My husband was like that’s normal and I’m so happy I finally listened to myself to get it checked after being gaslit so many times.

Anyway, this is to say follow your instincts and ignore formula pack feeding guidance 😅

Car seat

What car seats did you move onto once your little one outgrew their first car seat? Any you’d recommended (or avoid)

Need to vent about my family im so upset

I was at my mums house with my sisters. I suddenly became very ill, they called an ambulance but no one wanted to keep my baby while I went hospital. In the end I had to tell the ambulance people I wouldn’t go with them as I have no one to watch my baby. They wer disgusted I could tell. They could hear my family saying no I can’t keep the baby I don’t want too. These are the same people who never visited me when my baby was born. I just feel so alone. In the end her dad watched her. I want to have another baby but I know no one will help keep my older baby. I just feel so shit :(

Naps times

11 month old refusing all naps, would you let them cry it out in their crib or allow them to stay awake or even try rocking them to sleep?

Naps

How long do you let your baby sleep for during a nap before you wake them up?

First time mum is this normal please?

My son is almost 3, he’s developing really well but I’ve noticed a few things where I’m like is this normal - he doesn’t like tags in his clothes, he cries if the tags are left on his clothes - he is really picky with his food, no meat - he screams so bad and throws up when he’s got to have a bath or have his hair washed - he doesn’t like getting ready in the morning etc. is this just normal for his age? Thanks x
