    So what’s the general rule for leaving babies to lay in their crib/pack n play if they awake from nap time but aren’t crying and are just chillin and looking around? Our 7 month old tends to take catnaps but I’m tempted to leave him in there for a few minutes while I get stuff done if he’s not crying

  3. I was fine with that as long as I could hear them through the monitor or whatever

    What @popdisaster00 said. We had a monitor on his bed, and we could see him wrestling around with one of his toys. But if he wasn't crying, we'd let him hang out in there.

    My boy is about to turn 8 months (6 months adjusted age due to being 9.5 weeks premature) and I just started my parental leave last week. I'm thinking he makes the move from his pack n play in our bedroom to his crib in his room pretty soon lol. I can't sleep well when I hear each and every coo and everytime he rolls over or moves lol

    But first we gotta get curtains and a curtain rod for his room. The blinds aren't enough from keeping it form getting too bright in the morning

    Yeah, I sleep way too lightly that the baby in the room is just too much for me. My wife can sleep through a hurricane so she doesn't mind usually.

    I was a hard sleeper before kids. Now I'm still mostly a hard sleeper except when the baby is crying

    A random update on my four month old's hair as of yesterday.

    lol. Our kid was born with a full head of hair but once he started sleeping on his back and rolling over, he's rubbed a lot of the hair on the sides off so now he looks like he's rocking the hipster long on top short on sides

    We expected something similar to happen with Liam, but his hair just keeps growing and not falling out. My wife apparently had just as much hair growing up so it isn't surprising to us, but I at least expected there to be some thinning patches based on where he laid his head.

    We've been hesitant to cut his hair up until this point because he still is developing head and neck control, but we found a salon that takes kids as young as he is so we're planning on getting it cut at the end of the month...at least after crazy hair day at daycare on the 21st. My wife has plans for that apparently...

    We had to start giving a buzz to our 14 month old. His hair is so thick, and grows like a mofo. It’s the Japanese in him.

    I could combine all 3 of my kids hair and it still wouldn't be 1/2 as much as any of those ^

    Not a parent, but I've worked in childcare for over 10 years, and I'm sometimes called "Mom", hope you'll allow me here.

    Anyway, heard this gem today from one of kids I babysit
    6yro: dogs can lick their own privaseats (privates) but people cant lick their own because they cant reach them...

    I tried to post some photos my wife took of our son, but I can’t ever post anything taken off an iPhone X. It always says on here it’s too large of a file.

    anyway things are going good for us. My wife’s a teacher so she’s at home with my son.
