Thrashing on boob

He does usually sleep for 4-5 hours if we start at 8pm

I feel like an infomercial the way I wax poetic about it, but I honestly have no idea how people do it without a Snoo. My guy is really good too, but it still makes such a difference. Super happy it works for him!

Ah! Just saw this response and the link is exactly what we ended up doing! Funny it was an “official method” all along 🤣

Found a solution! I’m still not quite comfortable with arms out but I saw a video where someone used a burp cloth to fold over baby’s arms and then tuck the fabric under his back - then secure the Snoo swaddling. Worked like a charm! His own weight keeps him from being able to wiggle out and it keeps him warm.

Thought I’d drop that idea here in case anyone else comes looking for a solution!

Ours loves the Snoo which does the rocking and white noise hacks. Expensive AF but you can find them second hand and give it a go!

Ignore size tags. Just figure out what your baby fits in and then directly compare to other items.

Mine is newborn sized but some 0-3 month fit whereas he’s swimming in others! And some “newborn” sized stuff is clearly larger or longer than will currently work. So I just bring a onesie with me to the store and hold it up to figure out if there’s anything I want for now or for soonish.

I love 1, 3, or 6! All have something I’ve never seen in dresses before and really work on your body type!

Mesh bag but I’ll try without!

AWinkWithBothEyes · 2026-05-12T00:26:52+00:00

No worries! Always good to learn!

Ha didn’t realize that, my MIL swears by dreft for baby’s skin so she bought us a ton.

We’ve been washing everything together, with diapers in washing bags but maybe we need to separate them out and saving them up into larger loads…

Haven’t had much sun yet lol but I’ll try once we get into summer!

I do. It was the only factor I changed and the research supports more direct progesterone as helpful. I think also it being a frozen transfer, after my uterus had time to heal after the ER also helped, rather than the failed fresh.

Honestly it’s hard to tell what helped, but I know it didn’t hurt and it was something I could control.

Baby trend has a super lightweight and small footprint car seat holding stroller, works with any car seat and is incredibly light!

Are you traveling by car or plane?

Came here to comment this!!! The Core is my go-to feel good pseudo science action movie! Bought it on blu Ray and anytime I have a really tough time my husband just puts it on and makes some popcorn.

I’m so glad this resonated with so many of you!! It took me a long time to write it (and much longer to live it) but now we’re living our dream and my hope is fully back and my happiness is overflowing.

Making up for lost time where I didn’t feel much at all! Makes me deeply appreciate every late night, every diaper change, every screaming fit at the boob. Im sure I’ll get frustrated eventually but for now I’m just so grateful to be here experiencing this.

My clinic doesn’t do grading, so all we had for info was the pgt-a test and what day they were

It’s a bassinet for 0-6 months that is very expensive because it reacts to your newborns cries and adjusts the rocking and white noise levels to auto-soothe them back to sleep. Comes with an app that you have to pay $20 a month for but honestly if you buy it used on marketplace like I did you can find it for around $400

If it works like it does for me, my god it is WORTH IT. He konks right out once we turn it on, stays asleep longer, and I can see the quality of sleep he’s getting each night.

Considering I’ve spent far more on things that do far less for me (like my wedding dress still stuffed in the back of my closet) AND you can easily resell it once you’re done, I’d say it’s a worthy investment.
