SOFT PLAY SET OR PIKLER TRIANGLE

My baby is 11 months and currently wants to climb on EVERYTHING 😅 He’s not walking yet, but he pulls to stand on furniture and cruises along the sofa.

I’m thinking about getting either soft play blocks or a Pikler triangle so he can climb somewhere safe instead of the furniture.

Has anyone tried either of these? Which one did your baby enjoy more around this age?

I’d say soft play set as you can build better dens with it as they get older x

Pikler triangle. We got it for my daughter’s first birthday in January and she uses it every single day. It took her less than an hour to figure it out and confidently climb it.

She’s had a soft play set since around 7 months and quickly got bored of it.

Personally, I do the soft play indoors & other climbing toys outdoors. It’s just my personal preference tho, I don’t want to have to dust/clean all those wooden pieces. Our 4yo has both a nugget & a 3pc soft play climber & uses them together, started out climbing on them, now we make forts or different tumble obstacle courses. Outside he has a range of different climbing items & we’re about to make a play set out of 2 giant wooden spindles. We’re always adding more stuff outside & I can just hose those off or wait for the rain to do it, the soft stuff takes like 5secs to wipe off or the cover is machine washable. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My lo has had the climbing frame set since he was 9m (13m now) and it gets used daily. He’s a big big climber and this has been great. But they’re not for the faint hearted as my boy acts like he’s something out of the jungle on his 🐵 😆
We have a triangle, semi circle and a slide/climbing wall side which attaches to the frames. We can throw blankets over to make dens and you can get cushions for the semi circle to make it into a rocking seat.

I had both for my kid and got rid of both because she got bored, but on reflection I would’ve kept the triangle because she would love it now at 3 years old.

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

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

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 🤣
