Toddler needed stitches

No idea how it happened, I was in his dresser looking for his pajamas, Micah fell and hit his head off something, I thought it was tbe table but it's pretty round! Poor baby needed 3 stitches! I feel so guilty and I want so bad to find out what happened so I can eliminate the risk of it happening again

Oh honey I’m so sorry I can only imagine what you’re feeling. My heart breaks for you today of all days. I get it. My daughter fell out of her highchair we were snowed in and it was my birthday. She also switched water to boiling hot when washing her off in the sink at her birthday party. Things happen. A lot. Especially with toddlers. Mine bumps herself ab fifty times a day it seems and I’ve always been a helicopter anxiety filled mom. I wish there was advice I could give you. All I have is it’s going to happen and it sucks like hell when it does. All we want to do is protect them. Keep them safe. But things happen. Makes us both stronger I feel. It’s nothing we do wrong we didn’t fail them. What matters is how we pick ourselves up and care for them. To not let it eat us up. Things happen in an instant. And that’s just how it goes. But what we do after really matters. Not stressing but learning and realizing I survived this moment we survived this moment. Breathe and focus on giving

Giving yourself grace. It was a tough day. I can imagine. But you made it through mama. And so did he.

When do you stop using a baby monitor?

So I’ve been using a camera baby monitor since birth and still use it now (she’s now 3)
So my question is are you all still using your monitors or when did you stop?

I love the fact that I can keep checking on her when she’s sleeping or if she stirs in the night I can see her and know if I need to go in her room or not, she’s a light sleeper too so if she stirs in the night and I got in her room she would be wide awake again 🫣 but she also settles herself amazingly well too if not disturbed.

Baby doesnt want to be put down 😭

Moses basket and next to me wont work 😭 feel like we are doing such unsafe safe sleeping practices but if we dont we would be awake 24/7. We have tried everything

Not crawling or rolling back to tummy

Baby is 32 weeks tomorrow - is that 7.5 months?!

But still not crawling or wanting to roll back to tummy - why do I feel stressed that she isn’t doing this yet!
I encourage rolling every day but because she sat from around 5 months she has no interest in rolling.
Seeing other people’s posts on how much their baby is doing is making me feel a little stressed! ..
anyone feeling the same??

Pacifiers??

My baby is breastfed only and he takes no pacifiers I tried like 4 different ones does anyone recommend any to try it seems like he does wanna have something to suck on sometimes but just doesn’t like the nipples I’ve tried

Natural ways to remove baby poo stains? 💩

Hi mums 👋🏼
How do you remove poo 💩 stains from baby clothes? At the moment I’m using bleach-based products, but I’d really love to switch to something more natural and less chemical, especially because I’m getting so tired of the strong smell 😭🫠

I’d love to hear your tips and tricks!
What works best for you? Thanks so much

Sleep times.. HELP🤣

So my little girl is just over 6m, wakes in the morning any time between 6-7 am, she’ll have about a 2 hour wake window and have her first nap. This is about a 45 min to 1 hour nap. Her next wake window is longer, can be up to 3 - 3.5 hours long, then she has her next nap which is an hour or more.
Now, today for example she woke around 4 pm from her nap, her bedtime is usually around 8 pm and we try to get a nap inbetween. Is this a sign she’s ready to drop her 3rd nap?
I can’t seem to time her last nap now before bedtime now her wake windows are getting bigger and she fights it like CRAZY😭 but would this mean I should start an earlier bedtime now and get her to bed for 7? It just seems a bit early but she’s been awake for 4 hours now which seems way too long 🤣 Tia x
