Montessori/Attachment Parenting Sleeping Routines for My 9-Month-old Baby Boy

Hi Ladies, My baby boy is 9 months old, and we’re having some sleep issues. Our situation is a little bit convoluted, so let me explain what’s going on. First off, I’m a trained Montessori teacher, and we’re raising our son “Montessori style,” as I call it. This means that he doesn’t sleep in a crib. We just have a mattress on the floor for him.

Any Moms have any suggestions for beefing up a baby belly? Specifically what foods to try?

Which Brand of Infant Clothing Runs the Largest?

Hi, My baby is still an infant but is already wearing sizes 12-24 months (depending on the brand & style). Also, I don't think it will be long before we are out of size 12 months. As winter is nearing I need to purchase long sleeve clothes. Any recommendations on brands I should look into for sleep & plays or onesies/bodysuits (that are in sizes ranging from 12 months -24 months)? I should make note that my baby's doctor has not shown any concern yet. Baby is considered in the 75th percentile as of 1.5 months ago...therefore,...
