I think it depends on the 3 year old and how high the bunk bed is, I wouldn’t want my little boy in one but he has only just turned 3 maybe in a few months I might think differently
Id probably go for a low one with steps rather than ladders though

My 3 year old is still in a cot 🤣

I think it’s too young personally, my partner wants one for our boys but until our youngest is at least 5 I’ve said no

If only using the bottom bunk. The top bunk has a age limit of 6 years.
Also with the ladder rungs removed as they climb

My daughter went on bottom bunk at 2.5 x

My boy is 3 and he moves so much in his sleep ( changes which end of the bed he’s sleeping at) he’s in a floor bed until further notice
Thank you all

Aside from the danger aspect. Making the bed on a bunk bed is a MISSION not many people talk about. I like the ones people have posted in the comments though. Those seem manageable. I do think 3 is a bit young but i guess it is kid dependent.

I didnt have much of an option because of space. When my oldest was 3 almost 4 and youngest 1 1/2, we got a bunk bed with stairs. For the bottom bunk, since our youngest still needed a crib, we got a bed tent where the mattress is fully enclosed. When she learned to open it but we didnt want her getting out just yet, we used twisty ties. Shes almost 3 now and does just fine. She knows the bottom bed is hers and top bed is her sister's. We also keep the tent open now with no issues

Please don’t let me read this in a newspaper article. It’s a death trap waiting to happen. Give it a few more years.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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? 😩

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 😅
