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

I lay my 7 months on his back as recommended. However, he turns on his side or tummy by default to sleep. I just leave him in the position he chooses to sleep in.

Not sure where to share

I'm for sure proud, but I don't know where or how to post this, because I never want someone to feel anything less than wonderful in regards to their child(ren).

So.. my son learned his numbers 0-12 over a couple months when he was 1 and a half, because he's ALWAYS wanting to learn about everything. He knows all of his colors, numbers up to 25, can recognize and name emotions in books and people, and knows/recognizes 15 of the letters in the alphabet. He just turned 2 and a half a few days ago.

A couple weeks ago, we're drawing, having fun, and he goes, "Eight!" And happily points to the board where he was drawing (you can see some scribbles here, too lol). I look, and see he drew the number 8. Intentionally.

Now, his dad is in MENSA, but I really am shocked, because he "shouldn't be able to do this yet". 😂

Anyone else with a child like this? I want to ensure I continue to challenge him, and have joked about making weekly lesson plans for him. I have stayed at home with him since birth.

Thanks!!

Baby cuddles

Anyone else’s baby completely bury their heads wherever they can?

Is she okay like this. Worry she’ll start struggling to breathe. But if I move her she just makes her way back there.

Jabs question??

LO had their jabs at 9.30am this morning. She has literally not been awake AT all since and its now 2pm. Only for a quick bottle 2hrs ago but her eyes didnt even open
I'm worried she will NEVER sleep at all tonight should she sleep all day
Ive tried to put her down and she does a really horrid cry as soon as she leaves my arms, which is not like her
Is this normal? Sleep all day? Did your babies do this and still sleep at night or not? Just wondering if to prepare to be awake all niggt!

Protector around crib??

My 6 months old rolls a lot in her crib. Last night she bumped her head on ut when rolling. Any recommendations or links to get some sort of padded protector around the crib??

20 months old who won’t sleep

Hello!

I am struggling with my 20 months old. She’s amazing but when it’s time to go to sleep she just won’t sleep. Napping is almost impossible and bedtime is eternal. It takes me at least an hour to put her to sleep. If I am not literally next to her, she will cry and won’t stop until I come back (she can cry for 30 mins no problem and never get tired). Also she won’t allow my husband to put her to sleep.

I know this is my fault because I didn’t sleep training her correctly when I was supposed to but I keep trying everything and nothing works. Does anyone have any advice on how to teach her to fall asleep?

Thank you for your time!

Is This Normal

My 2 year old does not eat. It feel like she is just filling up on milk. Before she turned 2 she ate all the time and now all she seems to want is whole milk. I have tried not to give her the milk before her meals but then she just crys and I don't want her to go about her day with an empty stomach so I give in and just give her the milk.

She as suffered alot with constipation and her constipation had become so bad to the point were I was prescribed Lactulose for her to take. I was even given a lecture recently by a doctor who told me she needed more fiber in her diet which is why she was suffering with constipation.
It's easy to say give her fiber but giving a child food who does not want to eat is another story. I have tried my hardest to get her to eat her meals and she just wants milk.

Is this normal and please tell me this is just a phase as I'm getting fed up with her not eating.
