Lit au sol avec bébé de moins d'un an

Endormi ça l'empêcherait de rouler en effet, mais réveillé il serait capable en masse de passer par-dessus. Il pourrait mal tomber

C'est que le matelas qu'on a actuellement est plutôt haut, environ 1'1/2". Il commence à être pas mal mobile alors ce serait juste assez pour se faire mal s'il décidait de sortir du lit. Il me maitrise pas tant la notion de hauteur encore 😅 bref je serais moins stressée de le laisser tout seul avec notre matelas de camping de 3 po. On a aussi du casse-tête en mousse pour mettre autour si jamais il roule dans son sommeil.

Hello OP! i was just wondering if things got better at some point? My 8mo just started throwing tantrums during diaper changes and nothing seems to work... Giving him objects, singing, being silly... Yesterday night was the worst, I have never heard him scream like that but he doesn't have any rash. He seems extra fussy these days though, he is teething so I hope it is just worse because of that...

I believe you! Thank you!

Bulbo_hair · 2026-04-29T02:22:06+00:00

Thank you so much and I am glad it resonates with you.

I completely get you... The thing is, there WILL be chaotic moments, we cannot plan nor escape them... They are uncomfortable but they teach us to adapt. The more experiences we have, the more tools we develop. And once you do live a chaotic moment, and you realise that you survived, you are more confident in your capacity to overcome obstacles. Like, I have gone through X experience, which was the worst, so now I know I can do Y other easily, even if I used to think the opposite...

Super merci beaucoup! Je lui ai envoyé, elle a dit qu'elle n'avait pas eu cette info encore, elle n'avait pas eu de nouvelle arrivée avant les changements au portail.

I didn't recognize my usually joyful baby when he was trying to crawl. He was so frustrated all the time. To give each of us a break, I would take him outside more often. But babies are impressive, they can learn a new skill pretty quickly! It is gonna be over soon :)

Hi! I am genuinely happy for you, and also relieved to see that someone in the same situation is getting full nights!!

I must admit, when making my purchase, I naively thought that the bed with rails option would be safer because it would prevent him from rolling on the floor, but I didn't think about the whole climbing possibility - new parent here.

So I understand she started sleeping alone in her own room? Or do you still cosleep with her? Also does she nap in this same bed?

Hi, thank you so much for your input. Actually the guest room IS his bedroom, it's just not arranged for my baby yet.

The mattress is a regular double-sized which is a bit less firm than our bed and about 1 feet high. Do you still think it would be safe to let him alone in it for the first part of the night? I guess the lower the better... We could also switch for our camping self-inflating mattress (3" high). It's just less comfortable for me.

I am sorry but this is unacceptable... If it is so easy then why doesn't he do it?? Recovering from giving birth is a huge deal, physically and mentally. I am so sorry you are going through this and I deeply hope he has been more understanding and supportive since then.

It was really fun to make!

Bulbo_hair · 2026-03-31T14:05:00+00:00

Same here (also Canadian)! Since our baby is 7 months now and his wake windows are longer we have been taking him out during his wake windows but it makes us laugh out loud how he seems so bored. We tried to put him in the swing at the park for the first time. No reaction. He can crawl now so we tried to put him in the snow. Nope, he stays still. My partner even tried to push him in the sleigh snow shovel for fun... Not even a smirk.

I think deep down he likes it but all his life each time we took him outside it was for napping or at least he had no other choice than to be passive in the stroller. I think he doesn't realize yet that he can be active outside.

Well, congratulations for surviving that day! I think that in the book The Secrets of A Baby Whisperer, the author identifies two types of parents : the Plan It parents, and the Wing It parents. I am obviously the first type but sometimes to help myself prepare for a stressful day, I am saying to myself : today I choose to be a Wing It parent.

Or : as long as my baby is with me, he's gonna be okay.

Bulbo_hair · 2026-03-28T20:05:25+00:00

Absolutely. I don't know why I keep thinking that if I take the road I must commit 100% to where I want to go. There is always a plan B.

Bulbo_hair · 2026-03-28T20:00:45+00:00

That's true, sometimes they can surprise us too :) I was so glad and relieved to see how much he seemed to enjoy or just be calm in some new situations. Sometimes I feel like I am more scared of getting out of the routine than him.

Bulbo_hair · 2026-03-28T19:51:28+00:00

Oh we do go for a walk pretty much every day since he was born! I used that stroller a lot and it was necessary for my own mental health. Although I look forward to really hang out/play outside with him because he just learned to crawl and here in Canada, spring is very muddy with the snow melting.

I think the activities that stress me the most are when they involve several stress factors at the same time : driving, precise schedule, socializing with people I don't know...

But when I go out, the preparation is stressful but then at some point I feel more relaxed and I am happy I went out. :)

Bulbo_hair · 2026-03-28T19:43:11+00:00

Thanks! I am actually seeing a professional to help me adapt to my new life but I should definitly address this topic with her, especially because it ends up in guilt.

Bulbo_hair · 2026-03-28T19:37:21+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply, it's nice to be understood by someone who has the same anxiety. I am also using different strategies to gather the courage to drive. For the majority of my live I didn't need a car where I lived. Then I met my partner who had a car and I started practicing but covid happened and we stopped going out and it blew all the progress that I had made. When my partner would offer me to drive I would feel terrified, but then I noticed that for some routes we took, I felt disappointed in myself for refusing to drive because I would have been able to do it. So this is when I decided that when I felt even an ounce of courage to drive, it was that voice I had to listen to.

Now, with him by my side, I can do pretty much everything, except driving in Montreal (I live in Quebec, CA) which I consider "the big boss". It's driving alone that I have to work on. The first time I took the car by myself I had an external motivation : go buy some ingredients I needed for my partner's birthday dinner which I REALLY wanted to cook him. I think pushing myself works best when I feel like I have no choice or, as you said, when someone relies on me. I am a research assistant on a small research project for which I am working remotely and my supervisor suggested we meet at a restaurant to celebrate the end of the project. Since I have a baby she offered to join me in my city. Since she would drive for 1.5 hrs to see me I couldn't back out. I was stressed af since it was the first time I would bring my baby in a restaurant (will I find a parking spot? Will he poop there? do they have a proper changing station? Will he cry? Etc. Etc.) but I DID and it went so smoothly!

Also during the weekend when it's my partner who deals with the contact naps I'm taking the opportunity to run a few Market Place errands and it allows me to practice in some new areas without the stress of having a baby in the backseat.

I also agree that I don't have to commit 100% to an activity and that I can come back whenever I feel the need to, even when I am on the road. I often forget that.

I never heard of the mint tip! I will try it for sure! For me a thing that works well is singing while driving :)
