I've been trying to get my 3.5 month old to sleep independently from day one. She refuses to do so and will only sleep properly with contact naps or co sleeping. I'll set her down in the pack n play for naps and she'll wake up right away. If I set her down in her sidecar crib after her night time routine she'll sleep for maybe an hour. After the hour is up she'll wake every 15 to 30 minutes in her crib. She doesn't seem to be sleeping to well in our bed either because she's constantly fussing while asleep at night.

Is there any way to get her to sleep in the crib without making her think we'll never come back for her? We pat and reassure her when she's in there but it doesn't seem to help because she ends up crying regardless.

My baby just turned three months and for about a month we had a solid routine of being put to bed sleepy but not fully asleep and being patted. Recently she refuses any transition from my bed to the sidecar or from the rocking chair to her crib. Anytime I try she wakes up no matter how long I hold or rock her beforehand. She wants to be attached to the breast all night and I just can't handle that much physical contact. On Monday I was up until 4 am with her trying to get her to sleep in the crib with no success. Please help a tired lady out.

My child is at the higher end of the spectrum and requires substantial support. He will never live independently and that's something that keeps me up at night. I want to make sure he's taken care of and not neglected once I can't care for him anymore.

He has siblings but we're not expecting them to take on this responsibility unless they feel they can do it. Are there specific accounts we should set up? How do we plan for his care in adulthood? Also would having these savings disrupt SSI?

I'd like to know if anyone recalls a tickle me elmo style blue's clues plush.my so only remembers that It would laugh when squeezed.

I'm searching for convertible carseat recommendations. We are still in the infant seat but I'm trying to get research done for when we're ready to switch out for a bigger seat.

I'm looking for a good overall car seat that has solid protection and doesn't weigh a ton. We've had nuna rava in the past and I loved it but it was very heavy.

I'm in search of section 8 friendly rentals. I'm having a hard time finding 3br rentals and would like referrals if anyone knows where I can find available places.

My autistic child has high support needs and his favorite thing to do is swing in his compression wing. Our current system is a tension mounted gym that's rated for up to 120 pounds. He is close to 80 and swings quite aggressively on it. The gym is starting to struggle and so I'm hoping to find a replacement. Ideally I'd like something that can hold up to roughhousing and requires minimum damage to a rental unit if possible.

My intention was to cloth diaper baby but she's super sensitive to humidity and gets rashes quite fast. My plan was to use flats with boosters as she got older. Is this still feasible or should we stick to freestyle disposable diapers?

I just started using flips one size diapers with what I think is the microfiber insert (one side touches babies skin and the other side isn't Supposed to). She's 7 weeks old and about 10 pounds. I used a single flip insert and adjusted everything to its smallest setting. We made it about an hour before we had a leak. I'd like to know what I should add to prevent leaks. Should I do away with microfiber all together? We are using flip with snaps and Velcro.I also have fuzzybuns covers.
