Do you take your kids/toddler (not an infant) out (park, grocery store etc.) in pajamas?

Park, no. Grocery store, yes.

We might change into PJs when out if we are coming home late or kids will likely fall asleep on the ride home. We usually change in the bathroom or car right before we leave to location to come home.

Yes. Not all the time; but we also buy pj sets with full intention of wearing them as real clothes sometimes too LOL (adults and children in our house)

Depends on the time of day, the temperature and generally where you live lol. Personally for me I’ll take my kid out in pjs past 7pm to the store or the park (my building has one for residents only)

No I dress him and I dress myself. I’m not really a pj girl myself so I dress us both as soon as we ready to step out. The only time I’ve gone to pjs (him or me) is at 5pm to my sisters’ house where I’m just having dinner and chilling at hers all evening but she comes to mine in a robe too lol so it works. Not in public.

Last summer when my son was 7 or 8ish months I had to walk my little cousin to the bus stop at 7AM. He was in his pj's... it was like a 10 minute walk, he was in the stroller the whole time. I would do that again to run a quick nearby errand. But not to the park.

My toddlers in a onesie all the time when it’s cold, no matter where we go, it’s just warmer for her and more comfy. I’m in pajamas too😅🤷🏼‍♀️

No, the only time they were pjs out the house is if it’s early morning and the doctors call and say “can you get here in 10mins” or If we’re out at a family members house and it getting close to bedtime I’ll change them into their pjs so the can go straight to bed when we get home if they’re fallen asleep in the car

No lol, my boy knows when it’s time to go out its time to be dressed he literally tells me himself🤣 on a very odd occasion where we’ve driven to the corner shop he’s been in pjs if I couldn’t be bothered to get him dressed for the sake of 5 mins because he won’t even be leaving the car (with dad) but even then he’s not impressed going out in pjs🤣 other than that he’s only put in pjs if we’re going home close to bed time so he can go straight into bed.

No. We get dressed for the day.

No. The only thing I do is let my daughter wear pjs after her swimming lesson.

If it’s a long car ride in the evening we will pop him in pjs before leaving so we can put him straight in to bed when we get back, so he will be in pjs if we stop at a service station/shop otherwise he’s dressed if we go out 🙂

I don’t, but my husband did a couple of time. I didn’t like it 😂 pj are for home.

Pyjamas are for bedtime. Putting them on is part of the night time routine. She's also a stickler for the rules and gets upset if I put baby in a onesie in the day 🙈

Ideas with how to keep my baby on her back for nappy changes

Hey all!

My girl is nearly 7 months and for little while she has been a nightmare to change her nappies and clothes 🫣😂
All she wants to do is roll onto her front and try crawl off the mat!

I used to be able to distract her by singing and dancing - but now I can’t find anything to distract her and I’m chasing her around her changing mat 😂 and trying to change her backwards lol

I know it’s normal for most babies to go through these stages, just wondered if anyone has found anything that has helped.?

Baby doesn’t like being put down

My 8 wk baby always wants to be held. Since he was born he doesn’t like going down in his crib at all, and even though we’ve tried everything ( I mean everything! The clothes wth my scent on them, holding him for 20 mins into a deep sleep then putting him down, swaddles) he wakes up and cries as soon as he’s down. This is the same everywhere, I can put him in his rocker or play mat for around 20 mins when all the stars align and he’s in a good mood. I’m scared I’m building a stick for my own back and that he will always be clingy. Anyone gone through something similar?

How to get baby to nap alone again?

Sorry in advance for the long post...Bit of context, our baby girl is 7months and was in the NICU for 5 weeks. She has always been a terrible napper/sleeper. Bedtime routine used to be bath, boob, bottle (we were triple feeding with ebm to help gain weight), rock & put down. She would fuss a little and we might have to rock her again but then she would sleep for a few hours. We started off by putting her down for 1 nap a day and worked up, but she never managed every nap going down.
She now exclusively nurses, and getting her down for bed is much easier as she just breastfeeds side-lying in bed and once she's done I place her in her cot and she sleeps much better at night.
The issue is, at about 4/5months, she started refusing to be held when breastfeeding most of the time when we were at home. She gets very distracted and will fuss and cry and wriggle away even if she is hungry, and unless we are out of the house she will only breastfeed and nap when lying next to be on my bed. She will wake up instantly if I try to put her into her cot or if I try to get up and leave so for 3 or 4 naps a day I am feeding her and then just stuck in bed. Sometimes, its heaven because I have a great excuse for extra rest but it would be amazing to be able to get some free time back, get some housework done and socialise (if we have guests over, I feel rude and a bit silly just staying upstairs as no-one seems to understand). I have tried to avoid doing it because I didnt want it to become a habit, but she will flat out refuse to nurse any other way, and im worried about worsening the aversion if I keep trying. She will occasionally feed lying on a pillow on the sofa if I lie down too, but again she gets very distracted. Would rather not go back to rocking as it used to take me and my partner forever to get her to sleep and multiple attempts, and I dont mind continuing to feed her on my bed at night as it seems to be working well but I'd love to be able to get her to nap alone for even 1 or 2 naps a day. She will nap in the car and in her pram if she is tired enough, but will wake up as soon as we stop so it doesnt reslly give me any free time back and also means she is taking less milk and then sleeps worse at night.
Anyone else been in the same boat? Or have any advice? I'm desperate at this point 🥺

Advice

Girls, my little girl is 14 months old now and is struggling in her cot as we co slept from December right threw till about 2 weeks ago, I’ve found that when I put my pillow I don’t use in which by the way is quite thin and a lot firmer than the rest she seems to sleep a lot better but I’m terrified of her sleeping with one I’ve bought her a toddler one and again she wakes up constantly should I leave her without one and get up or is she ok with my pillow? I’m worried she’s still to young

4-month-old waking every hour at night – how can I help her sleep longer?

My baby is 4 months old, and for the past few weeks she has been waking almost every hour at night. She wants to breastfeed and then goes straight back to sleep.

During the day, she usually only naps for around 30 minutes. If I rock her back to sleep, sometimes she will continue sleeping, but other times she just stays awake.

What am I doing wrong? How can I change this, if it’s even possible? I’m exhausted. 😭

Sleep regression

Girls helppp I’m scared for the sleep regression. FTM my daughter is 3 months old.
Shes overall a good sleeper now. We’ve had a few bad nights which is giving me a tester for the 4 month sleep regression and the anxiety it’s giving me I’m scared 😭😭😭
I do all the night wake ups through the night due to my partner working long days so it will all fall on me!
