Controversial statement but a genuine question about sleep sacks

I give my daughter blankets.

She's 9 weeks old and sleeps in a next to me. She sleeps with a blue crocheted blanket that doesn't even fully cover her, it's just for her torso and legs because she hates to sleep in clothes. She will only sleep in a nappy and blanket. Put any types of clothes on her at night and she'll scream the place down. Simply take them off and she's smiling and happy. I've tried every form of clothing. Zipper. Pop button. Nothings rubbing her or making it uncomfortable. We've tried changing the temperature of the bedroom. Nothing works apart from nappy and blanket.

She's started to be able to roll on her belly but not be able to roll back (she moves her face to the side so she can breathe but I'm an anxiety ftm so I'm constantly checking and watching her)

I'm no longer comfortable with the blanket due to the rolling and inability to roll back. Yes she can move her head very easily every single time but I'm not sure in her ability to move the blanket from her face.

What sleep sacks have worked best for you? I can have her in a nappy and also feel like she's in a blanket so it's my only option.

I don't mind trying a few different sleep sack options before finding the one that suits her best.

Thank you and sorry for the long post

Blankets are fine if they’re well tucked in and at the bottom and that’s also where her feet are. If she’s only just rolling she’s unlikely to spin to get under them, you can also start to teach her to remove blankets from her face, also crocheted ones tend to have holes in so suffocation is unlikely also

Dehydrated over night?

My boy, 5 weeks old, has been sleeping really well through the night but woke up this morning with a dry nappy so I tickled his tummy with a wipe and he did a wee but it was not much and had the tiniest bit of urate crystals. I'll be contacting hv at 9 but does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be waking him for a night feed?
He slept 10:30pm till 5am which is great but I'm worried it's dehydrating him. Anyone had a similar experience?

Feeling paranoid 🤯

My brother was playing with my 9 month d and was just throwing him in the air… Im paranoid that he will get brain damage or something as I googled it and it said you shouldn’t throw them in the air. It wasn’t done roughly. He was just playing with him 😩🥺

What do I do

Help please

My little one is 8 and a half months old, and every single night she’s having these like 2 hour wakes in the middle of the night around 2am.. shes not crying she’s not really tired she’s just wide awake looking around trying to grab things, she’s not overly hungry although I do feed to try help settle but doesn’t normally work.

I can’t stand and rock her for two hours, I’m exhausted 🫩 should I just let her go feral for 2 hours and let her play by herself with something?

I’ve tried more/less daytime sleep, I’ve tried earlier/later bedtime just nothing seems to help, it’s not every single night but maybe 4/5 out of 7 😢

Any advice would really help

Am I in the wrong ?

So me and my partner have an on going issue.
I have got up every night and every morning with our daughter ( 2half )
He doesn't get up till 9am He gets ready and goes to work around 9:30 - 9:45 so He spends about 15 minutes with us each morning. This is my problem 🙄 He turns round to me every time I bring this up and says I'm working on the road so I need my sleep unless you want me to have an accident. I'm angry all the time about his respons as I feel it's just an excuse for not getting up and spending time with us. He doesn't get back till around 7:30 or later each night so he doesn't get to see our daughter much as she is in bed by 8 - 8:30. So He will have about half hour if that. He then decides to come to bed about 1 or later so we don't see echother much but apparently that's my fault as I go up to bed as my daughter is normally up in the night and full awake by 6am.

Am i in the wrong for addressing He doesn't spend enough time with his daughter and he should get-up earlier to spend this time with her before work 🤷‍♀️( He only has one day a week off )

Crying

Does anyone else’s baby just cry allll the time. I feel like the only time my baby doesn’t cry is when they’re asleep! She does have reflux but is on medication for this but I just feel like unless I hold her all day she just cries it’s so exhausting

Is there TMI on here or am I just too sensitive?

I see a lot of posts about abuse, neglect, and honestly medical emergencies on here. One reason I stray from social media is because the lack of discernment of people.

Therapy is what some of these posts need to be directed towards. Calling the cops on a handful of others. I know we are hormonal and what not. But if you don’t want honest opinions and bluntness along with the more gentle moms of comfort. Is it too much to ask, “Should I post this? Do I really want a strangers opinion on this matter?”

And I could be wrong and that’s okay too.
