Honest question

Do you ever place your baby on their front to go to sleep? I’m talking 7+ months. Especially if you know they will sleep better and longer?

My boy has slept on his front since he went into his own room at 6m. Whether I put him down on his back, he’s rolling over in seconds. X

I never put him to sleep on his front put he’d often roll onto the front & id leave him Aslong as I was confident his face wasn’t smooshed into the bed! X

My daughter has slept on her stomach since 3 months when she started rolling. She 10 months and I just sit her in her bed when it's bed time. She moves onto her tummy herself.

No, I always put her down on her back but within 10 seconds she just rolls to her tummy

My boy has reflux and has always slept on his stomach since he was born as he is uncomfortable otherwise. He was born with very good neck control (even the consultant commented) so he often turns his head side to side during the night

Yes. Rarely, but it's fine once they can roll both ways.

My girl falls asleep on her side and then rolls to her front and has done for months.

Aslong as they can get back which is the advice they’re okay x

No. If they can roll, let them, but you always put them down on their back, no exceptions. It’s just not worth the risk

My girl is 3 and if I'm laying her in bed, I'm still laying her down on her back. She immediately rolls to her side, but I still lay her on her back because I have the most control over her body as I transfer her to her bed that way.

Putting your LO down on their back doesn't mean they have to stay on their back

Rant and rage

I'm not coping and don't feel supported in the way I need. I try and voice how I feel and I get met with silence and huffs and puffs
My son has problems feeding and gaining weight yet my mil insists on holding and comforting him rather than listening to me saying I should try feed him or change him. I get ignored. Same with my toddler she will continue to give her treats when I say no as 1 was enough and doesn't need 3 of somthing. I feel pushed out and not respected
I'm finding it hard very hard

Weaning

Started weaning my son today, he was 6months on Friday. I tried broccoli blended & a piece of broccoli- he had a few mouthfuls and it seemed positive that he liked it but he did gag a couple of times then projectile vomitted, I’m assuming this is because his stomach is still sensitive etc, he wanted more afterwards so had 2 more little mouthfuls but then I called it a day. Has anyone else experienced this?

What time does everyone put their little ones to bed?

My daughter is nearly 4 and a half months, 6 bottles a day and she has 6oz every 4 hours roughly.

My problem is she fights her sleep and has done since birth (even though we are in the middle of the regression at the moment 🙃) she doesn't go down for the night until half 9, sometimes 10pm.

I know this is not ideal at all but my first daughter who is now 2 was such an easy baby compared to her. Once shes down for the night, she sleeps for 8/9 hours a night but getting her to go down is a nightmare

Also in the day shes a cat napper. My first daughter just went down to bed and stayed asleep
