Stupid question!

My 2 year old is sleeping in a cot but i want to try adding a pillow in. Not sure on a duvet yet as she uses a sleep bag as has always hated blankets etc. She also moves a lot & sleeps in weird positions. Anyway.../

Do I just get a normal adult pillow? How thick do I get it?

I'm really overthinking this 🤣 advice/pics welcome pls!!!

We started with pillow then added duvet a bit later on at a similar age and it went well! You do want a toddler set though, you can get cot ones, we got cotbed ones so the duvet is a bit bigger. An adult pillow would not be comfortable unless it was super flat, cute mini pillow for the win 😊

We bought this one off amazon when our daughter was in her cot. My parents now have it as they are turning her cot intona bed as she is in a toddler floor bed at home.

This one. I sent the wrong link before so edited my comment. This is for the duvet cover, pillow case and fitted sheet.

There is also this one https://amzn.eu/d/0gxPHOY2 which is a 5 piece bedding set. Pillow, duvet, pillowcase, duvet cover and fitted sheet.

I was also wondering about the time for a pillow, as surely, if their head always ends up and the foot of the cot.... whats the point to a pillow? 🤣

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 😩🥺

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.

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

Does anyone have a fully pitch black room for you/kids to sleep in? Does it help with sleep or eye tiredness?

So many gaps in our black out curtains or blinds means when its summer its never totally dark n at night there is some street light coming thru

Did a fully pitch black room help you or your kids with sleep?

Feeding

My little one is 8 weeks old and I’ve noticed she doesn’t wake up for feeds during the night now. She can go 7-8 hours without waking up, is that normal? I’ve tried to wake her up in btw to give her for a feed as I get worried she’s not drinking enough. She will sometimes take to it.

Transitioning to 1 nap - too early?

My daughter had her 9-12month review yesterday. She's doing amazingly well and progressing with flying colours! The health visitor mentioned dropping down to 1 nap a day. Isn't that a little bit early? My daughter does struggle to go to sleep in the evening, I usually cap her afternoon nap to 4pm and then she goes to bed at 8, sometimes it takes about an hour to get her down but I've been putting that down to development and basically wanting to be awake to explore.
I'm confused as to what I should do now. I think the health visitor is a little early on this, but maybe I'm wrong?
