White noise machine

Do you still use a white noise machine for your toddlers? We do and I’m not sure if we should be? My husband gets up at 4.30am for work so worry if I didn’t have it on he’d wake up ( he’s a very light sleeper) x

We do as well. Not really planning of stopping yet because same situation here. But I know some adults that listen to that so ill give him time still, i don’t see anything wrong with it if they sleep well x

I do. I sleep with one too and have since before she was born

We do and have no plans to stop any time soon

Yes 😂 all night through and we sleep with one too 😜

Yep we still use one too…I think I’d struggle to sleep without it now! 🤣

My feb 2024 baby uses one and so does my 4 year old 😅😂 I don’t think they actually need it but it blocks out any noise when we are getting up early for work etc

I only have one for the first hour of the night then it turns off x

Yes same, have it cos my partner gets up early in the morning and have wondered whether to go without.

We do. We have a family floorbed and I personally love the white noise. Couldn’t imagine not having it and one morning early hours it ran out of battery and I couldn’t get back to sleep!

We have one and no plans to stop at the mo!

I just use Spotify

Crazy hair tips

My little boy (white/black Caribbean) has almost two hair textures, he has quite loose soft curls at the front but then an almost Afro texture in the back which goes wild. I use the only curls products for kids (shampoo, conditioner, detangle spray and styler) but after he sleeps it just goes crazy. It’s super knotty at the back so he doesn’t tolerate any brushing/combing - I only just manage with a fight when it’s wet.

Any tips on handling the back section? Heavy products don’t seem to work well given how soft it is in the front.

Refusing nap at age2 help!

My little one is 2y 2m old. She has just all of a sudden stopped napping. Nursery told me they spend half hour with her and she won't sleep and same at home. I'm really worried nursery will stop trying. But she just will not settle down at all all of a sudden. Help please. It's way too early for her to drop the nap!

Baby doll

Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

CMPA? (Photo)

My baby is really congested overnight. She’s always congested - but particularly more snorty after a bottle of Kendamil. She’s primarily breast fed with one bottle of formula a day in the afternoon. Her poops are also explosive and look like this. Does this look like CMPA, so sorry for the photo! Two first poops from two different mornings. Will add the second to the comments.

Travelling with a 1 year old

Can I put a car seat in the front passenger seat for travelling with my baby?! He hates the car and just cries if he’s in the back by himself. I have family 4 hours drive away and I have to do the travel alone most of the time. It’s so stressful and exhausting trying to entertain him and I can’t just let him cry. How do you travel with a baby who hates the car? 😩

14 w/o slept for 15 hrs?

She’s 14 weeks. Yesterday we decided to try putting her to bed at 8pm (she usually just comes with us at around 10/11). So we bathed, boobed and transferred to bed by 8. We kept the room dark and she slept there for an hour before waking up. I then took her back with me but she continued sleeping until 11. Woke up at 11, had her nappy changed. All happy as can be. Then slept until 3. Breastfed. Nappy changed at 5. Breastfed. Slept until 7, breastfed. Still asleep now at 11am?

Is this normal? She’s still having wet nappies, feeding, etc. should I wake her? She started trying to roll to her front yesterday, so idk if she’s just tired from the workout 😅
