baby gift for 5 month old image
Q. I accidentally fell asleep without transferring my 5 month old son to his crib, he falls asleep in his swing every night, and the night I left him in it, he slept through the night. I tried it again a few times, and it is consistent - in his swing he sleeps through the night, in his crib he wakes up at least 3 times a night - should I let him sleep in his swing? Is there any danger or concern about doing so?
I'd really appreciate the input of others on this one, it is really tempting when you are so tired to do anything for a full night's sleep, but I don't want to cause him problems down the road...
Thanks for your thoughts!
yes, we have the rechargeables, only way to go!

Enjoy your rest!

How to celebrate Thanksgiving with child when you're not together?
colleen008
My ex has our daughter for Thanksgiving...I have no plans for the holiday and he and his family have invited me to celebrate with them. I'm very hesitant.
She is only 5 months old so all of this "split time" business is very new to me. The way my ex broke up with me 6 months ago when I was pregnant has left me very shattered to say the least. I just don't feel comfortable celebrating Thanksgiving with them when it feels like I'm "playing house" with a family who will never fully be mine.
Anyways, my ex has said that they ARE my family and he wants me to feel that they are. He also feels its important that we celebrate holidays together so our daughter can feel some sense of normalcy. But wasnt him breaking up me the BIGGEST disrupter of normalcy for our daughter? Its not my fault that we are even having this conversation. I feel like he is saying I should "do it for my daughter" at the very least and is making me feel like I should suck it up and be the bigger person.
What do you think I should say/do?? Maybe it is better for our daughter if I just suck it up but what happens when the time comes when other significant others become involved??
Answer
This could be a very awkward situation. At the same time, it could be a very good one as well.
Once you have a child with someone else, they become a part of your life FOREVER. One of the most important things you can do, however, is remain civil and communicate with your ex for the good of your daughter. Put aside any hard feelings you may feel for your ex. Your feelings are well justified about not wanting to "play house" with a family that you won't be a part of. You don't have to spend all evening there or spend any time with your ex.
I have a child from a previous relationship and would have welcomed being invited to family functions only for the fact that my daughter could see her biological father and his family, especially his grandparents, whom I dearly loved. Instead, he chose nothing to do with her after I left him when she was 10 months. I invited him and his parents to her first birthday party and he brought a few gifts the day after and his parents sent a card with a gift certificate in it. After that, I didn't invite them to anything else since I didn't feel they showed genuine interest in seeing our daughter. She is now 10 years old.
My fiance has a daughter who is 2 from a previous marriage. They have joint custody but the mother will not allow ANY extra visitation. This breaks my fiance's heart as we only have her every other weekend and the days before or after holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving. His ex will not communicate with him in ANY way regarding the baby, so we never know if she is sick, how potty training is coming along, and what may be happening in the baby's life that we should know about. Despite this situation, my ex would bend over backwards if it meant we could see the baby more, especially on the holidays. He hates the thought of taking his ex back to court AGAIN to see the baby more, but unfortunately, it has to be done.
Try to keep the doors of communication open regarding your daughter. It will benefit your daughter tremendously after she gets a little older to know that both parents love her and can get along.
