5M infant with flat head & torticolis

By the time we got to know our second baby developed flat head- she was 4M old. Obviously our first reaction wasn’t to take her to Physical Therapy (PT) or use a helmet. I wish we did that. We didn’t have enough awareness about all this.

By the time we acted and took her to PT, she was 5M. We were still hoping her flat head would resolve on its own with increased tummy time.

By the time we had her seen by a cranial specialist and they recommended helmet, she’s 5.5M.
Hoping the helmet treatment would begin before she turns 6M. (Currently going through the insurance process for the helmet treatment)

I’m getting so scared, guilty and depressed for my second baby for going through this.

Please share some positive experiences about the helmet journey for infants. ❤️‍🩹

Sleeping arrangement with 2.5Y & 6 month old

Please Help!
Until recently I had family support, but now I want some ideas regarding the sleeping arrangements with 2 kids (2.5Y, 6 months old). We don’t want to co-sleep with younger baby. My toddler sleeps in her crib but is in between potty training. At night- we use diapers but till when would it last? I think they’re too young to sleep separately in their own room? I’m not sure about having both kids sleep in same room- fearing one might disturb the other.
Before you guys suggest that I sleep with one kid in one bedroom and my husband with another kid in another bedroom. Both me and my husband DONT want it. It would impact our marriage long time.

Please give ideas how parents with 2 kids manage. Thanks in Advance!

Hating my decision to have 2 kids

I’m (29F) hating for complicating my life by having 2 kids (2.5Y, 4months). WHY did I do this to myself 😭😭😭😭😭
Having good support from spouse yet I feel I complicated all logistics forever. It’s not that I don’t like my second child, it’s just that- NOW I feel it’s completely unnecessary to have another child. I need to cater to both needs and it’s exhausting.

I know the advantages of growing up with sibling since I have one. I also hope this will get better once my youngest turns 2 years.
