When to stop C curl and restricted blankets?

May be too soon but just out of interest. When is it safe to no longer sleep in C curl around baby/child? My girl is 10 months but very long and I can no longer do C curl well 😅. Plus her whole bottom half is past my waist now which is where I keep the blanket too.

Can she lay on ur chest?

Probably the most important part of the c curl as she gets older like this, is keeping your arm between her head and the pillow. I don't think is as necessary to make an entire wall around her little body as it used to be, since she's presumably pretty mobile now. For the blanket, do you tuck it around yourself? If you do, there's probably not too much to worry about there.

I can't remember when I stopped with my son, but he started walking at 8.5mo and was really strong so I wasn't worried about blankets or pillows although I kept them away regardless.

With my newborn in the bed with us now, I debated on how to do it. I saw a cosleeping mom on IG show that toddler is between the adults and newborn is on the outside!! I couldn't fathom it...after a little brainstorming, I decided to turn us all 😂 so newborn is between me and headboard (has a gap filling pillow), then our toddler, and then husband is technically across the foot of the bed. But we all fit and are safe! I'm loving it

If you're on a floorbed, then I read that you can stop at around 7/8 months providing they're a strong mover. LO is just turning 9 months and I only c-curl now if she's having a tough night.

I stopped at around the 7/8 month mark when she started crawling.

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Imposter Syndrome

Does anyone else feel like you have imposter syndrome being a mom?

I had my first a couple weeks before I turned 38 and I had already accepted I wouldn't have kids (not by choice).

I remember going to my appointments feeling like I wasn't as pregnant or really pregnant like the other patients in the lobby were. I often catch myself feeling like this isn't my life and I'm playing house my child. I love him so much, but I feel like this just isn't real. He's 15 months so I've had time to come to terms.

Has anyone else felt something like this? How did you get over it?

Brest feeding 6 months plus

Hi. Silly question but how does people navigate Brest feeding when baby gets their teeth? I never made it this far while b feeding my other two so I’m not sure what the next stages will look like.

Long night wakings and exhaustion

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?
