Allowing him to do as he pleases

Right…I know I’m not the only one. My lil one wants to pull everything out and go through everything… and it’s so cute and I love letting him explore….However somethings are not appropriate for him to touch and his getting tired of me saying No and I’m tired of telling him No. So today I’m thinking of a solution…🧐

My sons only 7 months but crawling and standing and doing the same. I just try to give him safe areas to play in. If it’s not a safe area like the kitchen I’m pretty much in on top of him monitoring what he’s doing. I also have a busy little explorer.

Move those things out the way or put locks on things x

Change the environment. Put things out of reach that he shouldn’t get into. Baby locks and gates. Make it easier to say yes and/or not hover. You’ll both be happier.

Thanks ladies! I’m trying to rearrange our environment

Yes my lil one is 14 months and its frustrating. She is like a lil energizer bunny…. after exploring her toys she is into any and everything. I recently order some hair products and left them what i thought was tucked away in the shipping box. Looked over and she has one of the products half spilt with bottle and lid in hand 😭😭😭😭. I was so frustrated because it was pricey.
We go shopping if i dont strap her she will stand and jump. She pulling things off shelves and tossing all my items out the cart to see it hit the floor.

Toddler not staying under duvet

We’ve recently moved our toddler to a single bed with a duvet for the first time. She’s manages to stay under the duvet for the first 4 hours then doesn’t have the duvet on. Currently she’s at the other end, on top of the duvet.

Will she eventually stay under?

1 YEAR JABS, DO I GIVE THEM TO MY BABY OR NOT?

Hi,
I’m really stressed because my mum is telling me not to get my child vaccinated with the 1 year jabs. My baby has already had the first 3 jabs but she’s really trying to get me to not get him vaccinated. I would like real opinions please. Has anyone here not had their baby jabbed? Please don’t think I’m silly for writing this, first time mum here so everything is so scary and new. Thank you!

Sleep regression solidarity

Anyone else’s little one been hit by sleep regression like a ton of bricks? 🙃.

Baby girl was sleeping so well then this past week has been struggling, last night was WILD. We are currently running on caffeine and vibes 😅✌️.

We can do this mamas.

Fed up, baby wont sleep and everyones elses seems to😥

My baby just will not stay settled at night. Just gone 6 weeks old. I can transfer her from me to cot fine after a feed, then within 15mins she is fussing and unsettled, reflux, being sick, wakes herself up then is crying or wide awake. This goes on for 2hrs until she then starts fussing for a feed 2hrs after the last feed.
I literally cannot get any sleep
Seems thats everyone else's baby sleeps better. I have a 4 yr old and had horrendous sleep with him to for 2 yrs. Why is it happening to me again, I actually said I'd never have another child due to the such bad sleep if my 1st child, then convinced myself it'd be better 2nd time
..and its not proving that way. I cant catch a break 😥
Ive tried everything to make her settle and she wont

Mum guilt

My baby has a really awful latch and breastfeeding can be quite uncomfortable. I’ve had help from the infant feeding team and it’s improved but still not great. He doesn’t have a tongue tie.

I think he swallows down a lot of air, he always has trapped wind and an uncomfortable tummy, he fusses and grunts all night long, never burps after feeds. He’s always congested and has hiccups all the time.

I have a fast letdown so I think that also contributes. I’m really really considering switching to formula but the guilt that comes alongside that is killing me.

My eldest was breastfed for 8 months so I feel so shameful considering quitting at just 4 weeks with second baby. I also feel a huge responsibility to keep breastfeeding through winter for the immune system and health benefits.

I’m just really not enjoying breastfeeding this time and it’s making me miserable.

Any tips?

Infuriating

Been awake for over an hour - baby was changed and fed but now won’t go back down in the next to me as he’s so congested and he won’t settle laying flat.

I’m exhausted and so sleep deprived yet husband is lying next to me SNORING his head off and it’s making my blood boil.
