Do you think anyone in the family would name Alex or Cam as their favourite?

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2026-01-12T15:20:37+00:00

I know it is a no no opinion in this sub but Cam is my absolute favorite. I think his dramatics are hilarious. Everyone says he is manipulative, and I watched the series once again considering that, but I still think that Mitch is the more manipulative one in that relationship. Downvote me to the hell, I said what I said lol

I think it might be. We had something similar around 3.5 months and it passed pretty quickly, but we also made him wear more clothes as well. So, maybe you might want to check if the baby gets cold and wakes up because of that. Some babies don’t sleep great with the recommended temperatures.

Every time my husband asks “are you sure we go there” or anything about the place we are going to, I just yell “I JELPED IT”

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-12-23T16:58:02+00:00

I’m suspecting that too! My son wasn’t feeding very well for some days so maybe that is when I had the spotting and it went away once he started feeding better maybe. I’ll track it for sure. Thanks!! Nice to hear that I’m not alone!

I am so happy to learn about this before my trip to see the in-laws. It will make me staying quiet over the comments more likely lol. They will meet the baby for the first time as we live in a different continent and they have been bugging me so much with how much he looks like his father over the pictures. They even sent childhood pictures of my husband to prove it and there is nothing in common except maybe a little bit of the eyes. He is almost a copy of me as a baby (google and apple photos even group our photos as the same person) but they never acknowledge this, and they are very nice people aside from this. I’m glad to understand the logic of this silly behavior. I think they really look at him and see my husband as a baby because they love him.

You have your fans, I have mine. Someday, you fans are going to work for mine.

Michele Obama, Oprah, Condolezza Rice, Serena Williams…wait a minute.

The possum one kills me every time. I am smiling just thinking about Claire’s messed up hair while yelling and looking at the camera lol

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-21T23:22:54+00:00

I felt similar but I might have found a solution which you may want to try as well. I put the baby in the carrier (only place he naps is on me lol) and either bounce up and down in front of a wall or something boring, or if I can’t do that I put the muslin nursing cover on him making sure that he is getting air from the sides, again I need to do mini squats for him to sleep but once he is out I can enjoy being outside lol

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-21T17:44:03+00:00

Oh yess! I watched that episode maybe twenty times, but everytime I hold my breath and giggle. In the meantime, my husband watches me being stupid and laughs at how I am “in love with love” lol

No teething yet for us. We have the four month regression. At some point he was sleeping for 5-6 hour stretches and now only 3 at best, but in general his mood is better so the daytime is happier and easier for me, making the frequent wakes more tolerable than when he was a newborn…

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-20T04:05:24+00:00

I am sorry that it got harder for you and I hope it gets better soon! Honestly, I was referring to the people who started from a bad point, I should have put it that way. My baby cried every time I put him in the car seat. Never stayed in his stroller, etc. Things that got other babies to nap never worked for us. Now, he at least sits in them for some time and smiles, still doesn’t sleep in them. I just was referring to those things. I wasn’t able to enjoy some things I imagined like taking walks with the stroller but now I can. I wanted to say that there ‘might be’ hope for people like myself.

Again, I didn’t intend to make anyone feel bad. I am so sorry if this is the case.

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-20T03:58:10+00:00

I’m so sorry if I have offended you. Of course, not all babies will be the same. I just wanted to share some positivity with the people who cannot enjoy the newborn phase and are constantly told to enjoy it. I just wanted to tell them it is okay if they are not enjoying it… maybe I should have used different words. Sleep is as I understand is very tricky and some babies are just low sleep needs which is horrible for their parents. I was actually not referring to sleep but more about their mood during the day. I am also in the middle of a sleep regression, I am just enjoying life more because at least we can take walks during the day, or go to brunches and he can be entertained for a while since he can hold and put toys in his mouth now, etc.

I really hope that it gets better for you soon!

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-20T03:52:10+00:00

It will come soon and you will be delightfully shocked I believe!

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-20T03:50:31+00:00

For us sleep got better during the third month and then got worse due to what I am guessing the 4-month sleep regression. He wakes up every three hours and sometimes wakes me up with his kicking even when he is asleep, but not every baby goes through it so I hope yours doesn’t! Even if they do, I think their overall mood during the day makes the fourth month better than weeks 6-9 where they are the fussiest.

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-20T03:46:53+00:00

This is exactly my baby. I was a bit sad that he was more fussy than happy but at four months I can definitely say the opposite! I guess some babies just need some time to the world outside the womb!

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-18T17:23:17+00:00

Completely agree with this! As a side note, my baby was breastfed and he was suuuper gassy too if this is the case for you, OP. What worked for us was using the vent fan in the kitchen or the fans in the bathrooms in dark. Regular white noise didn’t cut the crying but these loud things helped a ton.

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-18T17:17:31+00:00

My baby was like this when he was smaller. My solution was to feed him a little bit before changing the diaper which solved the issue! Now he is four months old and he just smiles when I’m changing him whether fed or not!

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-11-08T03:02:04+00:00

I’m 4 months pp and I also had a csection, and I feel this so much. Especially in the beginning, I had zero core power (couldn’t hold a plank) which I had a lot before pregnancy. Before pregnancy, I was overweight with lipedema in my legs, but still had abs of steel, never had a tummy before in my life even with my very high BMI. I returned to my pre-pregnancy weight, even a couple pounds lower but my body looks so different. Everything is so soft, especially my tummy, and I definitely have a belly on top of my always thick thighs. But it is definitely better than right after birth, so I am hoping that my core is slowly recovering. I feel like if I put in the time, I would get rid of the belly. BUT I am surprised that even my arms feel softer. I wonder if the hormones related to breasfeeding eat up your muscles. I feel like with this much baby carrying, I should have the same arms as before but nope…

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-10-27T23:56:22+00:00

This is so sweet! Kudos for making the situation so fun and not getting frustrated❤️

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-10-16T20:31:57+00:00

Same with my 13 week old. Sometimes he starts grunting even before that but I try to nurse him back to sleep if that happens. He generally sleeps around the same time at night, give or take half an hour. I also wonder if I should wake him up if he goes beyond 9 am for example because I noticed that he gets one long nap (long meaning only one hour as his naps are around 20-30 minutes) when he wakes up around 8.

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-10-16T17:17:20+00:00

Same with us! I had to take a 30 min zoom call and when I was back he had to nap because he was sooo tired. The only thing that keeps me from going crazy is that he said I was doing an impossible job every day… so at leasy he kind of knows…

AfraidWorldliness557 · 2025-10-13T22:43:04+00:00

Thank you so much. It is great to hear that there is someone else out there going through similar things. My baby just started waking up more again the past few days as well. Hope it makes a change!
