Baby fell off the bed 😞
So guys the day ive dreaded for a long time happened today. It was exactly the same as every other morning except this one day my little one somehow managed to move across the whole bed and tumbled off it. The standard pillow fort waa there but somehow he missed it. I truly don't have a clue how but now im petrified of closing my eyes in the morning. Please confirm that this happens all of the time and that I'm not a bad mum.

Hasn’t happened to me yet but my friends literally on the weekend were telling me it’s a right of passage for every baby x
Don't over stress yourself about it, it can happen. I would just say that(and this may sound weird) but if you're going to put baby on the bed then build a pillow fort on the floor too , if they can get around the one on the bed then at least if they fall they have a nice cushioned area and don't hurt themselves at all🤷🏽♀️
My little boy also did this this week it all happened so fast. Accidents happens don't beat yourself up the main thing is he's okay. He will have more bruises and bumps as he grows. Chin up you 100% aren't a bad mam stay strong xxx
My boy fell off a few months old maybe 4/5? I didn’t know he could roll off and I was still in the same room just back turned and heard a thump then a cry. He’s fine expect he’s walked backward ever since? 🤣🤣 Jks, it’s absolutely normal and happens to majority of parents !!
My same son fell off the bed just yesterday and it’s now 2 years later! These things happen and you shouldn’t beat yourself up over it at all. Be cautious and aware now but don’t let it cripple you with anxiety 🩵🩷

Feeding from bottle (my breast milk)
I have a 13 day old and I have been able to make enough Milk to feed my baby. Im a first time mom, so i dont know alot about babies and I have a lack of exposure to them growing up.
I currently have the philips Avant natural bottle with the super slow nipple (size 1). I noticed that my daughter takes very little volume (varies from 10 to 50 ml max per feed). My health care provider told me we should feed her atleast 70 ml per feed now, because she is lagging behind her target weight.
We already adjusted the house temp to 21 to 23 celsius and consistently feed her during her window. Is there something i should try? Help! Photo for easier tracking 😀

Front Sleeping
Does anyone else put baby on front to sleep? I don’t need comments telling me the guidance, I know it but baby is suffering with reflux, much happier on their front, 4 months old and can roll both ways but doesn’t roll in the night, just wakes up screaming.
Has anyone with a baby who rolls ever put them down on their front or been advised to due to similar issues?

Advice…sorry it’s long
I am looking for some advice or to know I’m not alone with anyone in a similar situation.
My baby is almost 1 and has always been a not so great sleeper, the only time he slept through the night was after his 16 weeks jabs.
We’re at a point now where we co-sleep after his 1st wake up in his cot because if he settles and go back in his cot, he will be up at 5am although we haven’t tried this recently whereas in bed he will stir and wake at that time but he’ll go back to sleep until maybe 7:00-7:45.
He also usually wakes up crying and we have to walk around with him to calm down.
He is waking in the night and can be awake anywhere between 45 mins - 1hr, just laid talking away, grabbing me etc, this happens almost every night.
How can I get him to not wake at the crack of dawn in his cot and move away from co-sleeping and get rid of these split nights?
I’m back at work too so when he’s waking early morning, he can go back to sleep but I’m working long days so I’m just exhausted.
