Front sleeping

Hey all 👋 might be a little bit of a silly question but here goes!
My 7 month old has started sleeping on his front (which is fine, ofc) he actively unrolls and rolls and crawls. My issue is that he is so active in the day that when bedtime comes around he’s comatose, he then slowly rolls onto his front but sometimes he is literally face down. He does move himself in the night and isn’t face down the entire time, I think he just doesn’t move when he’s in a mega deep sleep.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I don’t want him to suffocate 😅

Both my kids would sleep face down. My son is 3.5 and my daughter just turned a year.

If he puts himself in that position, he’s fine if he can roll over to his belly, then he can roll over to his back at that point I wouldn’t be too concerned. It freaked me out the first time that my son did it

Have you seen this episode and do you have any sympathy for the parents?

They said their baby usually has a 2 hour nap around that time so they thought she would just sleep in the tent and then lost track of time...

Just needing some support 😬

My twins were 6 weeks early and currently 5 months gestational. Due to their size they are considered “severe malnutrition” so I’m having to feed (formula) every 3 hours still. I know they need it so of course I will do it but this momma needs some sleep. I just feel like a bad mom and super selfish that I complain about wanting sleep when my babies need me

Do you go out morning or afternoon?

Just wanting a bit of a sense check on this one because I feel like I’m the only one who waits until the afternoon to do my errands or play activities. In the morning, we try and stick close by the house (maybe the park, gym daycare, food shop, etc) because I don’t like chancing a car nap on the way home because it’s like 50/50 as to whether or not I’ll be able to get her into her crib asleep.

Post-nap and lunch, she’s ready to go and there’s pretty much no danger of her falling asleep. I’ve even had her out until 5:30/6pm without any issues. But soooo many of the mum meet ups or activities are in the mornings, so I feel like I’m in the minority.

Newborn sleeping

So I'm moving into a two bed flat and gonna have a nursery set up for lil bubba and I've already brought a cot at the ready for it! I've seen that your baby should sleep in the same room with you until they are 6 months old or so but I asked my family and a lot of them said they didn't do that (including when I was a baby), I was just wondering what other people did when they had a newborn as I'm confused on what to do?😭

Overtired

My daughter is 1 month old tomorrow and this has happened twice so far. She’s tired to the point where she’s crying for a good half an hour and the only thing that gets her to fall asleep is either walking around with here or putting her in her pram and rocking it back and forth. Any tips and tricks?

Toddlers hitting

So I’m looking for more things to try to stop my son from hitting, he has just turned 2. I feel like I have tried every method that I can think of to stop him from hitting and I’m not sure what to do anymore so I would like some suggestions from some more experienced parents! He has also recently started not specifically spitting, but like blowing raspberries, causing him to spit any advice is appreciated!
