Enough room in crib??
My 6M old is rolling confidently and wants to sleep on her stomach. She sleeps on her side against the edge of her crib, and once she gets rolled over enough to be on her belly, she hits the other side of the crib. She seems to get stuck and frustrated. It’s been causing more frequent wake ups. Anyone else struggling/ struggled with this problem? If so what did you do? I’ve considered a floor bed so she has more room but her nursery is small and it would take up most of the space.

Yes, but we didn't do anything because she kinda just got used to it.
The floor bed is a great idea, though. That's what we're doing from now on!
My daughter had a similar issue at first! After a while she got better at rolling over and didn’t need as much space even though she was bigger herself. As they get better control of their muscles they figure out the space better. We waited it out and it didn’t take too long for her to adjust. Also do you have a mini crib or a regular crib? Could make a difference!
Was gunna say do you have a small crib, we have a cotbed which you can take the sides off and go to a normal bed but my little one never really had the problem with rolling about in it as it’s bigger etc she does good and she just gets comfy and stays where she moves too

New born trenches
Now I know what people mean when they talk about the newborn trenches. My baby is 1 month old and I haven't had any issues regarding sleeping at night except night feeds until tonight.
I have mastitis feel so unwell I haven't been able to go to the doctor yet, my baby slept the whole day and is now refusing to sleep and feeding every hour. I am running off 3 hours sleep in the past 48 hours.
My whole body is aching every single joint is agony even my fingers and the worst thing about it is they tell you to get enough sleep and rest for mastitis..
Can anyone relate to me

I think I just need to vent.
My baby is 11 months and I still BF, even for naps and bedtime and the middle of the night, he wakes up multiple times... My in laws are coming soon so my husband will take vacation from work so we can take them to know the city and different places, etc. They wont be staying with us so I told my husband I want to use those nights to stop BF during the night so I'll be sleeping in the other room and he can be with the baby and make him to sleep rocking him or as he can... Now he is complaining that then he is not gonna sleep because of that and he is the one that will be driving the next day. Am I being irracional? For 11 months I have done it, and I'm the one waking up and sleeping in a uncomfortable position and with back pain. I don't ask him to so it on regular weekdays because I know he needs to be rested to work the next day.

Staying awake at night
It’s incredibly difficult to stay awake while breastfeeding the baby at night. Sometimes I fall asleep with him on my chest and it’s so dangerous. I don’t know how to avoid it but I also have to keep him on my chest after feeds due to reflux.

Sleep regression
I fear I was being far too smug as my LO was only having 30 min naps in the day and I thought we weren’t hit too hard by the regression…. The last 2 nights she’s been waking what feels every 45mins/1hour upset and won’t settle unless she’s breastfed. This is haaaarddddcore!! Any advice/tips please! 🙏
For those of you who seem to be coming out the other side of it how long did the awful nights last 😅🤞🏼
