Is this dangerous for a 2yr old?

Wanting to upgrade from cot, my son will be coming up to 2 1/2yrs when I upgrade his bed.

I need something with storage as the room is small.

Is this safe?

I wouldn't put my 2 year old in a bed like that just because she gets out of bed when she wakes and if she's just woke up she wouldn't be able to climb down but it depends if you think your child would be ok.

I think deep down its probably not a good idea, I was just hopeful others might comment and say its been fine for their young toddler if they have dine something similar i guess hes just going to have to lose his playroom 🫠

Does the side not come off your cot? Could you maybe upgrade to a smaller secondhand toddler bed with new mattress and then upgrade to this when he's a bit older?

My little boy is 4.5, but I think I'd wait until he was 5 for something like this as he still walks into our room in the morning/middle of the night and I'd be worried he fell whilst we were asleep, especially in the night with the lights off.

We have a floor bed for our 3 year old. Doesn’t offer any storage, but she still gets out of bed regularly during the night, so for us, we wouldn’t be comfortable with this style bed yet

Side sleeping

I woke up this morning and my 11 week old was on his side!
1. I didn’t know he could do this!?
2. I panicked and put him back on his back but he rolled back over!
3. I put his dummy in because I panicked and when I rolled him back he rolled again!
Is this okay? Do I need to keep him on his back?
He seemed very content and I don’t know how to police back sleeping whilst also getting sleep myself, and I’m terrified of sids 😩

Carseat Recommendations

We're in the process of buying a second car. I have a 5 month old baby. We want to buy a carseat for the new car, but not sure what to go for. We plan to have a second baby at some point in the next year or two, hence don't mind paying out for another carseat. At the moment I have an avionaut pixel pro 2.0, which my baby can use until he's about 12-15 months. I don't really want to buy another newborn carseat as it seems a waste of money. I want one that reclines as we do a lot of long journeys (my commute to work is 1 hr and on the days I work, he will be coming with me as my parents live 5mins away). Any recommendations would be great! Thank you :)

I had my 8 week check for my newborn recently and the doctor told me I should be gently pulling his foreskin back so that it doesn’t get too tight. I haven’t been given this advice before so I haven’t been doing it for my two-year-old.

My two-year-old’s foreskin doesn’t go back over the head of his penis, It’s too tight. Is this normal? Is it because I haven’t been pulling it back regularly?

Sorry about the title, apparently I’m not allowed to say foreskin in it?

Should they be banned for life and would you as a parent press charges?

This teacher slapped a primary school student and left a red mark, however she tried to say in her statement that it was an "involuntary arm movement" šŸ˜‘ I call bullshit... How can you "accidentally" have your arm outstretched, "accidentally" have an open hand and "accidentally" come into contact with a child's cheek enough to leave a red mark? But in the same interview she states that "a challenging classroom situation contributed to the incident". I'm sorry but if teaching brings you to the point of assault then you shouldn't be a teacher šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø so my questions are:
Should it be a lifetime ban? And would you press charges as the parent?

Back to back

Currently in active labour with a back to back baby and if I'm honest it hurts so much more than it would do if baby was the opposite 😭 every contraction makes me feel so sick
