Has anyone got either of these? Which would you recommend and why? And how old was your child when you got one?

I got my son a Tonie box for first Christmas at 6 months. He's 2.5 now and we use it pretty much everyday. We used to use music ones but now he listens to stories before bed x

I have a tonie. 12 months. At the moment we are just using it for songs and for bedtime. I read to her as usual but I will buy the book tonies when she is ready for them. Just for language reinforcement. I wont be using it to replace traditional story time.

We have a Yoto. We got it while he was pretty young on a sale day. I chose that because I liked the range and think it will grow better with him

Yes we have the tonie box 2 and absolutely love it had it since 1 and she learned how to use it straight away and have used it everyday since shes now 2 and had quite the collection of tonies so for birthdays Christmas eid etc we just ask family to get tonies if we cant think of any other presents 🤣

We have a Yoto mini. Unless the Tonie 2 is different, I know the reason we want for the Yoto was because there was more parental control. We can control the music from outside of our daughters room (3yrs) so that we can use it for nighttime music/white noise and can set a sleep timer to it. I think the Tonie is more fun for kids but the Yoto has more options for adults.

Yoto for my 4 year olds birthday. I think it grows better with them when they're a bit older xx

Guys I found this in my daughter’s formula last night. She’s on Hipp comfort milk. Any ideas what it is?

I’ve put more photos in the comments.

Toddler fell

My little boy 17 months fell from our bed last night in to a fluffy carpet, I couldn’t get there on time when he woke it happened within a sec and I found him lying on his tummy crying. He fell asleep after offering the breast and this morning he seems like himself no visible injuries. Our bed is a normal bed height. I’m just feeling so guilty. He didnt want to sleep in his cot so I kept him in bed like I do sometimes and feel so awful I didn’t do enough to protect him. Has this happened to anyone, thoughts and advice?

Sleep sack or love to dream swaddle for NEWBORN

Not sure which one to get. I know the love to dream swaddle is good for the startle reflex, but maybe the sleep sack baby will grow out of the reflex quicker?

Newborn falling asleep on bottle

Baby’s 7 weeks old, she’s constantly falling asleep on the bottle, she will scream for milk, as soon as the bottle goes into her mouth, she has a couple sips, and falls asleep, this has been happening constantly, she’s only drinking 1/2 ounces, every 2/3 hours. We have the mam bottles, I’ve changed the teats to lansinoh teats, I have tried everything I can possible to get her to drink. She has colic and reflux, I really don’t know what else to do. We have been doctors, doctor told me it’s absolutely normal. Health visitor has weighed her and she has lost some weight, so they are keeping an eye on her, but I really don’t know what else I can do 😭. Her falling asleep has happened ever since she was born, we have had her checked for tongue tie twice and she does not have one.
