Near miss this morning

I was getting ready for work and my partner was downstairs with LO. Partner sat on the sofa and I could hear LO when I was getting ready. Partner had accidentally left the stair gate open and when I looked to see what LO he had nearly climbed to the top of the stairs!!

It makes me feel sick to think what could have happened if he fell. I know it was accidental and LO is OK but still. Anyone else had similar? 😭

I havent had it with the stairs but both of mine have fallen off the bed and sofa at some point.

Also I gave my kids breakfast the other day. A mix of fruit. Then I caught my 3.5 yo giving my 15mo full grapes. Gave me a heat attack.

Just know that it happens to the best of us. You arent the first and you arent the last and nothing happened. You and your partner arent bad parents at all.

LO is okay. You are both okay. Be kind to yourselves. ❤️

Rolling…

14 week baby started rolling 2 weeks ago, this morning I have found him face down (I panicked straight away and turned him on his back) - he was fine. 5 mins later he is sound asleep on his side!

He can’t roll front to back yet. Neck control is improving daily but I’m terrified to sleep now.

Any advice welcome🥲

Parenting styles

Am i in the wrong? So for context, me and my boyfriend have different parenting styles. I prefer to discipline our daughter by calmly explaing what she did wrong, asking her to apologise and make sure the persons okay whereas my boyfriend prefers to raise his voice so she starts crying and pyt her in time out and tell me im not allowed to go "save" her. I don't feel there's a need to put her in timeout and make her cry, i feel like it's just creating unnessecary trauma. He keeps complaing that i'm disipline her properly and that i'll soon learn why we don't take her out of timeout and why we shout and apparently i'm making her hate him by being the gentler parent but i know she loves her dad so much. What do you guys think?

Should I wake up my baby?

My 7 week old has her own routine, she goes to sleep around 7-8 and wakes up around 11pm n 12 am to feed, however, sometimes she goes to bed later than that and still asleep by the time she’s meant to wake up, does that make sense?
So should I wake her up or should I wait for her to wake up? I never woke her up during the night to feed.
Thank you ☺️

Future kid on the news?

Ok y’all I hope my emotional brain is telling me some bad information!
My logic brain is quietly saying “nooooooo???”

My anxiety brain is telling me that my 14 month old
* Biting me until I bruise
* RUNNNING to bite EVERYONES toes
* pulling my hair and my husbands hair like he has a CLUMP of hair in his hand
* ripping off my glasses and immediately putting them in his mouth to lick them

I’m saying no firmly no smiles or anything.

He is DYING LAUGHING.

Is he going to grow up and hurt others?

How do I put my baby down?!

We are 6wks and he still refuses to be put down. I’ve given up on the Moses basket and am trying to co- sleep but every time I put him down he wakes instantly. I’m exhausted and I know it’s not safe him constantly sleeping on me…
