My son who is 6 and a half months old will not sleep in his crib anymore unless he has his blankey. And I know he isn't supposed to have a blanket until he's older so I only let him have it during supervised naps but he won't sleep at night anymore. Any advice??
@mpeterson1517 Maybe look into having his blanket made into a stuffed animal.
My daughter had her blankie at 8 months. Before that she had a blanket she wore to bed.
@karina_n_ryans_mommy, I've tried wearable blankets. He liked them for a little bit then wants nothing to do with it. And I've been taking it away after he falls asleep but he's so stubborn that he falls asleep gripping the blanket so tight with both hands that I wake him up trying to take it away. I'm going to have to figure something out.
I know of a mom who's 7 month old son just died from sleeping w his blanket in the crib .. I wouldn't chance it. Maybe let him fall asleep w it then once he's asleep take the blanket away. Or look into a wearable blanket, they come in all different sizes .. I know babies r us sells them. @mpeterson1517,
I'd let him have his blanket... every mom is different and parents there own way but my son and daughter both slept with a blanket and both of my kids are fine

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!
Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
Mine has always napped with small blanket, folded in half. Its one he got from hospital, for swaddling. Tho, never really swaddled but a couple of times and I was never able to get him to sleep on back, in crib.
