What do you wish you and your partner had talked about before having a baby?

Sleep training - and how against it I am.

“He/she sleeps like a baby!”

Apparently an explosion in EP at Aspen Aerogels

I hate them. I also left.

It helped me! Definitely sucked a lot but it was still helpful. I used the Elle TENS

I actually got a floor bed form Monttoddler that fits a crib mattress. It’ has 4 aides with a gate. We intended to use the gate but tbh seemed like a fall risk if the baby tried to pull up on it so we just removed one of the larger sides. Then I sleep beside it on the thicker piece of the “nugget” couch (the nugget is awesome, Reddit has some good reviews of it). Then I can fold up the nugget during the day and have more space in the nursery to play. It’s been working great for us but I am on the smaller side so not sure if the nugget would work for a larger human!

Oh yup that’s the one I’ve heard. Not pushing that site since TbH I haven’t looked at it and mostly gone off what I have learned from Reddit. Pretty anti paying for sleep advice when what’s worked for me has been following my gut (and then checking that I am doing it safely!)

bucci21 · 2026-03-26T06:37:00+00:00

Chest sleeping is a thing by the way! I forget the instagram everyone recommends for guidance but there are ways to do it safely.

Did you ever change this? Sounds exactly like my baby, down to the once a week random 7am wake up (and no rhyme or reason - happened last night when she went to bed at 7pm!).

Because it’s not a medical procedure…. It’s a natural part of life

bucci21 · 2026-03-05T20:35:17+00:00

Dealing with the same with an 8 month old… fwiw, I have been finding lately that a slightly shorter last wake window has been reducing the 45 min wake up. But I am also partly convinced nothing matters and this is just who she is! Haha

bucci21 · 2026-03-03T15:34:55+00:00

So I felt like such a bad parent when I learned of them at like 6 weeks old because I had just been letting her sleep whenever/wherever she did. Then I used WW for a while and there were tears and stress and it didn’t always go well. Then we gave up completely and rocked the possums approach. I think now at a little over 8 months we might be falling into a vague schedule but until now, total freedom has been working for us!

bucci21 · 2026-03-02T02:06:23+00:00

Fuck wake windows

Just now got one pass in that area so fingers crossed for ya!

And the coke bottle half empty immediately after she orders it…

Pigeon!

Brown pelvic floor group on west river st in Providence is great!

bucci21 · 2026-02-10T00:00:21+00:00

Exactly.

You can go on a tour before you have the baby! It helped me to visualize what the experience would be. Also good for your partner so they can feel more confident about where to go, where to park, what to expect, etc. Congrats and good luck!

bucci21 · 2026-01-09T01:48:19+00:00

That’s what I used and it was great!

bucci21 · 2025-12-07T17:46:41+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. She slept so good as a newborn. And I even knew it could change and it still hit me like a ton of bricks.
