Sleep help

My two year old just turned two and she used to be a very good sleeper. Recently she started taking off her sleeping bag and getting out of her bed. We switched her to a pillow and blanket, but now she wakes up every day around 3 or 4 in the morning and wants to come into our room.

Whenever I put her back in her room she cries a lot. We have a night light in there but it seems like she is scared to stay in her room now.

She has a comforter, but I am starting to lose hope. I am 32 weeks pregnant and I am worried that she no longer wants to sleep in her own room.

What can I do?

She may be too hot or too cold. We noticed our little guy woke up around the same time every morning 01:00 for a few weeks. I started monitoring the temperature in his room and varied his pyjamas weights. After an about a week and a half, I had enough data to understand his preferences.

It turned out he preferred a cooler room. He now mostly sleeps through the night. The temperature changes so much from the time he goes to bed vs when he wakes.

Is she still napping?

I was just about to say that she might be cold but saw someone else said that. When we transitioned my son from sleeping bag to duvet, he'd wake up at about 3 every night because he'd pulled the duvet off and was cold. He's used it now but also we have a space heater in his room so even if it does come off, he's warm enough.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Silver cross pushchair

Has anybody had experience with the sliver cross cove or breeze? Me and my partner can’t make an agreement 😅 I like the cove but is it worth the extra money to the breeze?
