I tried at 11 months but then we had the heatwave so I took the duvet out. Started him back again last night at 13 months. He just kicked it off and woke up crying because he was cold
We started around 14 months xx
My twins are 15 months, they stopped using a sleep bag when they starting standing cause they would trip. I’ve tried blankets but they kick them off, so they prefer nothing but their sleepsuit, fortunately my house is very warm. I’ve just bought duvets which I’ll start using in the winter months
They do use a cot bed pillow though! They’ve done that since they were 12 months
Thanks everyone! I’m just worried that because she still moves from one end of the cot to the other she will end up under the duvet. She’s 16months so I’d like to think she’d get herself out but just worries me! Then there’s also the worry of her kicking the duvet off and being cold.
When we took the sides of the cot off around 15 months. We practiced taking the duvet on and off in the day! He prefers sleeping without it though tbh

Anybody else experiencing difficulty feeding?
My baby used to feed great, she’s 11 weeks now and since around 6 weeks she’s been super fussy around feeds.
Shes formula fed, 5-6oz every 4 hours. Every feed is a battle, can take up to an hour (sometimes more). She cries, sometimes coughs / splutters and gets upset.
At 6 weeks I took her to A&E because of the worry to be basically told I’m dramatic and a first time mum. The problem has persisted, I’ve contacted my GP and health visitors and been told basically the same thing.
I went to my mother’s for some support 3 hours away, we tried her on 3 different bottles, 4 different teats, still the same.
Contacted the doctor again to be told she’s alert and having healthy bladder and bowel movements so no concerns.
Last week she got weighed and isn’t growing to their expectations so now we have to get her weighed every two weeks.
I could scream… I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN !!!
I went back to the doctors yesterday who said she may have silent reflux so prescribed a milk thickener.. still no better, still fighting feeds.
I feel like I’m going crazy, nobody seems to be listening to me 😩
Picture so she doesn’t get lost x

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

Sleeping training - a must?
Anybody sleep trained using the Ferber method? How long did it take you? Any alterations to the method? A completely different method? Or happily feeding/rocking to sleep?
The big sleep training. Wow. My little one is 7 months and I just tried the Ferber method tonight and failed on the second check in. Well, dad did the first check in and the screaming that ensued, I just did not have it in me to go in and leave her again. I think it was a big ask to go from breastfeeding to sleep, to “so I’m just going to put you down and walk out the room now”. Dad was really supportive of whatever I wanted to do, but we both see the long term gain from this in her sleeping independently, which I’ve seen she’s capable of especially when it’s nap time. I’ve decided I’ll stop feeding to sleep initially, and then I’ll decide on whether I want to try to sleep train or not. Amazing in the long run, but in the moment I just feel so bad.

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.
