Would you take your baby put of the car seat in traffic

We were driving home from pur vacation and at the end our baby was seriously crying. We were stuck in traffic, so i took the baby out of the car seat (i was sitting in the back next to it) and put it back when we were moving faster again. Would you bave done that? Have you been in a similar situation before?

I wouldn’t because I’ve been rear ended in basically stand still traffic. I know it’s a rare chance but too much risk for me. I did yank my youngest out of her car seat in a drive through because she threw up and was choking

Never. Babies cry. They will be fine. They wouldn’t be fine if you get in an accident.

No. But I have unbuckled myself and leaned over the baby to nurse her once. Still very dangerous for me but at least baby was safe

Insane, so dangerous wtf

No, but I always pulled over asap when my son was very young. He’s much better in the car now that he’s older

I understand the urge, I’ve been in this position before and almost did it. But yeah, definitely not a good idea. You’re better off being the one to unbuckle and lean over to them which is still very unsafe but better than taking them out. I’ve had to do that before because our back seat had no middle it was bucket seats.

No. We would have pulled over and parked.

You pull over if needed. Not while the car is going. Goodness.

Do you validate your toddlers feelings all the time?

I see so many posts about validating a toddlers feelings, and curious to know if other moms agree with it or disagree. I don't agree with it because they should start learning early on their emotions should match the situation.

Swaddle Transition

Hey moms! 🤍

My name is Gabi, and I’m a first-time mom. My baby will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, and recently I’ve noticed that when he’s swaddled, he keeps escaping and wakes up with one or sometimes both arms out.

I did a little research and saw a lot of recommendations for the Love to Dream swaddle. I understand the concept, but I’m not sure I love it for my baby. I also came across a couple of other transitional swaddles on Amazon—the Omni Swaddle Sack and the 4-Way Houdini-Proof Swaddle Sack—but now I’m second-guessing what to choose.

Before swaddling, we were co-sleeping, and he actually slept really well on his belly. Even now, he seems most comfortable napping on his belly.

I’d love to hear your experiences or recommendations—what worked for your babies during this transition?

Co-sleeping

Have tried to put baby in the next to me but he is refusing. He is currently sleeping in the najell sleep carrier between me and my husband. Any advice? Co-sleeping is making me anxious!

Fussy baby

For the last few days every time I put my 5 week old down he just cries, sometimes screams. I can’t get anything done. Any tips?
