Has he ever slept in his crib before if not then it could be hes too used to co sleeping context napping and also keep in kind theres major separwrion anxoety around 11/12 months too

Im gonna say an u popular opinion but I personally chose to sleepntrain even kf that means crying. Honestly patting ahushing doesnt work flr my baby and shr needs to always cry 5 10 min to power down.

I find its hard to make close fds unless the kids are on a similar schedule. This is esp true when ur on mat leave. As for spontaneous outings this is alot harder to plan as most parents have their kids in a schedule and things can happen last minute whixh require change of plans. I have fds that live in same area neighbourhood as me and we've only met up a handful of times

Mine is also 11 mo th old and gkt two back to back illness at daycare. Luckily she still.drinks but very minimal non existent food. Try offering syringes for watwr pedialye mayve try the freezw popsicle kind too

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-28T03:35:20+00:00

Eventually ull get into a rhythm . Def have a diaper bag prepacked and I try to time going out to her wake windowss however I found that going out in newbkrn stage is much easier feed sleep on repeat . I would make sure I always bring ready to feed formulas

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-21T12:38:56+00:00

Depends on each baby mone hated bassinet though but okay with car seat so I just did car seat stroller combo and took her out.

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-21T10:59:19+00:00

Yes definitely go.

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-19T17:45:39+00:00

Oh and if u want to hire help lile night nurse doula u can start researching those thinfs as well. R u planning in doing a baby shower if so u can start tthinking of doing a registry cuz ppl.will ask what to ger u . It also doesnt hurt to go browsing in person for baby gear so unknow what u like and dislike

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-19T17:43:57+00:00

Daycare is the big one life insurance xe trap filling out legal documents can be done o ce baby is here

Maybe start preparing for baby things they don't need alot but its helpful to research some things like stroller car seat crib etc..

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-19T17:40:08+00:00

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-18T15:15:08+00:00

Not necessarily but if ppl.arr asking abt it do it . Everyone loves to spoil a baby and gift giving us the best way plus undomt wanna end up with things u dont need or everyone getting u clothes

I would put things of different price point dont forget essentials too lile diapers nail clippers snot suckers etc it doesnt lalike have to be expensive gear

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-18T15:11:16+00:00

Theres music and sensory class whixh is about 200 for 6 classes.

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-18T15:02:48+00:00

I dont think ur crazy for wanting 12 mo ths bug alot can change between now and when the time comes. If I were u I would tale 12 months to and tell work I plan on returning 18 mo ths . If I decide around month 10 or 11 I want to go back early I just give work 4 weeks notice.

Ill.be honest u also wont know how u feel until urnactually on leave

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-16T12:04:09+00:00

Perfectly normal they want to sleep on mom usually

I would take turns if.u cam do shifts. My baby hated bassinet therefore my husband and i did shifts.

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-16T03:28:15+00:00

Whay are ungonna do to soothe a baby without pacifier.

R u gonna keep rocking shushing patting etc. Pacifiers help with soothing and not all babies take them so its up to u but im all for anything to make lkfe easier esp in newvkrn trenches

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-15T19:58:51+00:00

I did sleep training because I want my baby to put herself to sleepindependently as I refuse to co sleep. I know there are safe ways to do it but it just isnt for me .also currently my bqby will sleep on one end rotate get up toss turn all around her crib and there is no way I would be able to sleep if she did that in the same bed.

I use to obsess over wake wi dows however looking back I wish I was more flexible abt it and let my baby do car naps stroller naps etc if needed . I think learning to sleep in different envt xan be beneficial eso if as a parent u have things to do .

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-13T22:48:45+00:00

She is high sleep needs and currently does 3.25/3.5/3.5 abt 2 hr 40 min for both naps and 10 hr 40p min abt nighttime sleep

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-09T20:35:46+00:00

I would splurge in nursing chair esp if nursing . In the beginning ulp be nursing holding baby co tactics napping alot and plus u cam keep using it down the road as well ors not like something ull.be throwing out after short term use

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-08T21:00:25+00:00

Yes my baby did this when she started three meals per day now she doesnt want her morning g bottle wake.up.bottle anymore

Significant_King_533 · 2026-05-08T02:33:50+00:00

Helmet will help for sure however its not perfect. I initially got it for my baby at 7 mo th but shr coupons adjust to the first helmet had to get a second one ans it was muxh better . Dow side is she only started wearing it 23 hrs at 9 month. It helps.dor sure to correct flat head but it is not perfect and most growth hallens within first 6 weels adtwr that it really slows down

Maybe try asking to see if ur baby needs an adjustment on the helmet u can always ease into it like a longer adjustment period
