Moving from a cot to a bed

So my toddler turned 2 just over a month ago, she’s always been amazing at going to bed and sleeping all night. Obviously she’s had the odd night here and there but as a whole she’s been really good. The last few nights she has learnt how to throw herself out of her cot and as a result she’s been staying in bed/on the sofa with me and her dad. She sleeps in a sleep sack. We’ve obviously tried every night to put her bed, but she just wakes up in the middle of night and throws herself out.

Now my problem is I really don’t think she’s ready for a toddler bed, but I’m not sure what else to do as obviously her throwing herself out her bed is seriously dangerous and I don’t want her to hurt herself. She sleeps in a sleep sack already so obviously that doesn’t work. We also tried her travel cot as the sides her mesh so I didn’t think she’s be able to climb over it, but she did🙃

Any advice/opinions would be massively appreciated please x

Am I overreacting?

My LG goes to nursery 4 days a week (3 half days and 1 full day). We have to provide our own nappies and wipes and were told when they’re running out so we can restock, which is fine.

My issue is, the last few days, my LG has come home in a random nappy from a brand that isn’t hers and she’s started to become sore down there. When my partner brought it up to the baby room manager, her response was ‘oh well, babies are babies, it doesn’t matter and they pull them out the drawers’. For one, the drawers are high up as I’ve seen them so shouldn’t be getting pulled out and 2. If I’m providing nappies, use them because what if the persons nappies being used, can’t afford a lot?

We’ve had no issues with the nursery until this but I wonder if maybe I’m overreacting about it?

Getting jiggy with child about

My partner will try to get jiggy when our 4 year old is around. Ive told him multiple times it is a huge turn off knowing they could run in and catch us but it seems to fall of deaf ears!!!!
What others feelings on this?

Comments from people about your child

Today i went to a cafe and a woman working in the cafe made a comment about my baby - said something like “shes a cheeky one, cries when i look at her”. My baby was crying so much as she looked at my baby so i was trying to console her and couldnt say anything back to her. But i said yes shes uncomfortable and she said “ill keep looking if she cries”. I was so angry that i just couldnt respond and took my baby away and later the woman disappeared.

I feel really guilty and sad about not being able to say anything back to her and not showing my anger in the moment. I also feel like i was not able to protect my baby from that woman although i took her away.

Has anyone had anything like that happen before and how did you manage comments like this?

Friends’s baby always smells bad

Their nails are always cut perfectly always wearing clean clothes she’s not leaving them in a overdue diaper. This kid just always smells so bad. It makes me feel horrible even holding him. My gag reflex is going crazy. Should I say something? What could this be?

Bathing baby

When did you give your baby their first bath?

Naps!

When did you all start dropping to 1 nap?

My daughter is nearly 15 months old, and always fights the first nap ( refusing basically to go down unless we’re out and she’s in the pram)

Her next nap is usually around 3:30-4pm lasting 1 hour 45 minutes, but I wake her up!

I’m thinking off starting to transition her to just 1 nap after lunch time for longer just to trial how she gets on.

Today she has been awake since 1:15pm and hasn’t wanted to nap at all! She’s been busy and occupied, so I’m taking her up for a bath about 6:45, then bed for 7:30-7:45.

Hoping for a good night!🤞🏼🤞🏼
