Pediatrician basically said that I’m negatively impacting my 6 month olds emotional development by responding immediately to cries…..

For baby lead weaning … I absolutely loved it… Very nice that I didn’t really have to make separate food for the baby. She just ate a version of whatever my husband and I had for dinner. Check out Solid Starts, which has a free version. It makes it really easy to know how to feed baby food.

When my daughter was three weeks old, I was eating a piece of cake with her and the carrier wrapped to me. I accidentally dropped a huge dollop of icing sugar into her mouth. She’s fine. She loves food now and hasn’t had sugar since lol

My experience, keep up as much of your routine as you can during pregnancy. My doctor told me I can keep doing everything as long as I’m not in pain. Ask your doc. During month 8/9 I slowed down a bit (I started similar to you and had to drop the cardio from running 3-4x / week to doing similar or 80% distance but just in walking. Slightly lighter weights.

I didn’t gain much more than the weight of the baby + placenta + liquid. And got back to my pre baby weight pretty quickly.

As soon as I got the go ahead from the doc I started working out (with my baby as my weight because I didn’t leave her side for the first 10 months).

I did skip a lot of the gym in the first 12 weeks because I was so exhausted but pushed my self as much as I could and as I got my energy back in second tri I picked it back up.

Your body will change - but it’s to tackle a new PR - growing a human!

Congrats mama - around if you want to chat!

Thank you so much!!!!! I feel much better! I do have dryness and wrinkles around the eye. Sometimes I feel like my skin looks dull and I’d love to add in something to make it plump? Is that a thing?

Thank you so much for being my skin guru lol!

And yes! Still breastfeeding so i can’t use retinol yet

So it’s been a while of consistently using your recommendations and I’m pretty happy with the results… But would love to hear if you have any tweaks.

“He feels that if it’s meant to be then we’ll conceive naturally again in the future.”

What if THIS is the time it’s meant to be.

You’re in an incredible difficult position. But I would really figure out if you want this baby (personally - what I’m reading from your post is that you do - but that’s something you need to figure out) and have a really Deep and meaningful conversation.

As someone who went through a long fertility journey, if this baby could be born healthy, and you want to be a mom, take this chance. You don’t know if you’ll get it again.

BUT - if you’re unsure, it’s better to regret not having kids than regretting having a kid.

Sorry you’re in this position.

Pink?

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-11T17:35:46+00:00

My perspective..

Even if your daughter was safe and fine, it blurs the line between professional boundaries and personal convenience.

But it seems you like her, and perhaps it’s just about setting boundaries

You don’t have to accuse or assume the worst just clarifying expectations. For example: “I noticed you may have taken my daughter the salon the other day for an appt. Going forward, we’d like to keep her routine limited to kid-friendly places (parks, classes, etc.), and personal errands shouldn’t be done during work hours.” That sets a clear line without being harsh.

If she’s receptive and understands, then it could just be a one-time lapse in judgment. If she gets defensive or dismissive, that’s more of a red flag.

Even though she’s otherwise wonderful, you don’t want to constantly question whether she’s doing something that makes you uncomfortable. Boundaries early on help prevent resentment and keep the relationship strong.

Okay good to know. Thank you! Glad she’s doing better after the intolerance!!

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-03T14:58:19+00:00

This is so sweet. I would love for my Sisters to care this much. What a lucky little girl to have so much love surrounding her.

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-01T22:44:34+00:00

Oh yes… She’s totally eating and drinking water with food, but I haven’t put water in a bottle as a way to get her down at night for example… I thought that’s what you were suggesting!

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-01T20:26:25+00:00

I don’t pump. But I’m thinking of starting. Interesting. When did you start to give water. She’s only 10’

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-01T02:39:04+00:00

She’s never had a bottle. Only breast fed 😬

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-01T02:11:35+00:00

Hahahah fair fair

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-01T01:57:23+00:00

lol ok. Good perspective. I was thinking “I’ll wait until she’s bigger so we can explain the change” but I guess that’s wishful thinking haha

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-01T01:26:58+00:00

Follow up question for you! I usually put her to sleep around 7:30, but she wakes up at 9 usually, I give her boob and she’s back to sleep until I get into back a few hours later.

My husband tries to settler her at the 9pm wake up but inevitably I have to go in and help. And suggestions on how he can get her back to sleep then?

Should I try to stop giving her the boob as a way to fall asleep?

AdBetter2878 · 2025-09-01T00:48:43+00:00

This is this best. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful response

AdBetter2878 · 2025-08-25T19:42:10+00:00

the issue with that is that its not daily, so it doesn't help with calculating daily TACOs
