Car carrier seat to baby seat
Hi there. Our daughter is turning 1 next week and is 19.8lb and about 29” tall. We have the Mesa baby car seat - baby carrier. She seems ok in this but I imagine soon she will need a true car seat. How can I tell that it is time to switch to the bigger backward facing car seat.

Why does my 10 month old wake up between 5-6 am?

We have a four hour wake window before his bedtime which usually falls between 6:30 and 7:30. Each nap is at least an hour long. He…

4 mos old, fighting at every nap - Please help!

She won’t go down awake or drowsy but not asleep because she starts kicking and babbling that turns in to whining, and then into screaming and crying and I…

Toddler climbing out of crib
How do I deal with my 2yo climbing out of the crib? I’m not ready to deal with all the freedom that comes with putting on the toddler rail… The mattress is at the lowest level, but should I lower the mattress to the floor, still within the crib? Has anyone done that? Also, he has an en-suite bathroom, how do I ‘lock’ the…

What was/is your mat leave binge-watching show?
I am (perhaps obviously) a FTM and found that I filled a lot of my time while on mat leave binge watching shows I always wanted to watch, but never had the time. I really leaned in to that time knowing that if I have more babies, my tv will likely be monopolized by a little person's shows :). My go-tos were Friday Night…

Dock-a-Tot Safe
Hello! My 7 week old loves her dock-a-tot and often naps in it during the day. When we place her in crib, we dress her in a pj, then place the breathing band over the pj. We do not place her in the dock-a-tot overnight. However, we have noticed that when she’s not in the dock-a-tot she wiggles around and is uncomfortable…

She rolls on her back and wakes herself up and we have to pick her up to get her back to sleep. This goes on throughout the night. We are room sharing until her room is ready…
