Do you use them? Are they safe? I read somewhere that baby sleeping bags generally don't have sleeves to prevent overheating but not sure if this is true. Wondering if babies sleep better in the ones with sleeves as they are cosier? I don't understand why their arms don't get cold in regular sleeping bags.

This is true. There are different togs so use which tog is best for the season

i got one with sleeves to help her with the startle reflex as a transition to the sleeveless one! we would just put her in it in a diaper or tank top onesie to avoid overheating

I would say my daughter sleeps better in a sleeping bag for sure. They do, do sleeping bags with arms but they’re usually detachable. We have all different togged bags for the different temperatures

I use one with sleeves (a 1 tog) with my 8months old and she sleeps very well in it (8 to 11hrs at night). She is not too warm in them either in a room at 24 degrees

They do have them with arms, but you'd only want to use it in cold climates. You're actually not supposed to be too warm when you sleep. Your body naturally cools off, and releases melatonin as a part of that process - that's why we have nights ourselves where we just can't sleep because we're too warm. If your body is too warm, you can't produce melatonin and sleep will be more difficult.
Scandinavian parents always open windows in a baby's room to air it out before naps and sleep - no matter the temperature, and they live in very cold climates. It's known as "lufting."
I don’t feel like I’m a good mum, I cannot stand my child clinging onto me/screaming I literally want to smack my head against a wall every time she makes that screeching noise I am seriously exhausted and I have no help whatsoever.

I am only 12 weeks but I fell like ive lost my patience with my 15 month old, all day long im just constantly telling her off for hitting the tv, climbing on the back of the sofa to get to the window, throwing things at the cat and laughing. Im not enjoying being with her and that sounds horrible 😢
Im not enjoying my pregnancy in the first place and feeling exhausted everyday aswel cause my daughter is sleeping in our bed every night as she cries the moment i get near her cot 😢
Im just feeling lost

My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

I just found out some bad news yesterday. My babygirl of 14 years has cancer. They found three large masses inside her. I am so devastated. I know i have to put her down but she is still acting like herself. Jumping on and off the bed/counter, eating and drinking.
I just dont know what to do or when to do it. How do I know when its time? She doesn't seem to be in any pain or anything. Vet said that chemo would be hard on her since she's lost weight and is fragile and her age.
I guess I'm making this post for any and all advice on when to know its time to put her down..

I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️

At what age did your baby go from contact naps during the day to sleeping independently? Even if you had to get them to sleep in your arms first and then transfer them? Just wondering when it started to happen for others!
