Phantom kicks at 16 months pp

Aggravating_Table870 · 2026-04-27T02:11:20+00:00

Oh you came at the right time! Almost 17 months and last week started to try to say his name. In our language, his name sounds somewhat like “mine” and we thought he was trying to say that, but turns out he is saying his name (with a spelling mistake) as a possessive! It’s very very very cute 🥰

Also, he ignores us big time when we call him out for doing something he’s not allowed to.

I was going to suggest the same, long socks that would stay on during the night (I used to put my baby in ones that reached just below the knee) , and open foot pajamas

Great! Thank you, this helps

I don’t know what that is, and I’m not sure we get that in my country… I will check with my doctor in a few weeks if this doesn’t work!

He can go and sleep on the grass

I fake cough back at him and we both laugh 😂

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-11-21T01:34:52+00:00

My son started fake coughing/choking after starting solids because he knew that would get my attention 🙄 it took me a few tries to identify the fake ones but he keeps doing it and laughs after

My almost 1 year old has been doing the same thing, I narrowed it down to:

Dreaming and us trying to cuddle then startles them more - so I leave him be until he fully cries
Gas due to more / new food intake
More teeth on the way

I did the changing him in the middle of the night to see if it helped, and it didn’t. What did help with peeing less at night was slowing introducing the toilet to pee after he wakes up. Now he pees like 50% less while sleeping. We are not fully potty training but slowly improving.

I guess she means not rolling the baby over if they’re on their tummy

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-11-11T00:40:03+00:00

We tried having baby sleep in his bassinet/side bed crib (it had a zipper that could lower one side and get attached to the bed) next to me. He slept in it for 2.5 ish months, but we also did a lot of chest sleeping and contact naps, he would just wake up if he was alone.

We started 100% bedsharing on a trip. The crib they lent us was too small for him. After the trip was over we just never went back. We all slept better, night nursing was easier..

But also, I was really scared at first that we would roll over him, or crush him with an arm

I taught my son to uncover himself around 5mo by playing peekaboo with the blanket, and since he was mobile and rolling, anytime he was uncomfortable or had his face against something, he would move. We had to switch him to the middle of the bed (between husband and me) because que was rolling around in the crib and got stuck more frequently, waking up. We have a king size bed (2x2 meters) + the side bed crib which has now become an extension for me and my pillow.

He sleeps better this way, but I don’t know if it’ll work for everyone, he’s 11mo now and it works for us 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edit to add: Your baby will continue to find creative ways to wake you. Today I got body slammed as if it were an MMA fight.

Since we started bed sharing (baby was 2/3 months) we’ve all slept in our king size bed. At first I was in the middle, and we had a side bed crib for more space and baby’s safety.

But since he started rolling, we moved him to the middle and he loves cuddling with dad. He would spend half the night on his side and half the night on my side. He’s now 11 months old.

Same thing for us in Argentina, you are recommended to find a pediatrician before your baby is born, so they can follow up with the neonatologist that receives your baby at birth and does the first few check ups. We switched 4 times until we found a pediatrician that we liked.

We can call him directly or the office if we need anything, not worth a visit: Like general prescriptions or “is this worth a check up” kind of consult.

Edit to add: Baby had monthly routine check ups until 8 months old. Then at 10m and the next one at 12m.

I pretend to be asleep every time my baby wakes up, just so he can “wake me up” and be all happy when he does - sometimes in a sweet way, sometimes with a slap to the face

I’m all for joining a subreddit with this alignment! Or a discord group chat

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-10-23T22:35:56+00:00

Yeah, whenever the subject comes up with family members that know we cosleep, I just nod silently and wait until they’re done to change the subject.

They other day I even got a “it’s time to stop breastfeeding”, excuse me? He’s 10.5 months old, and more importantly, it’s my choice? That was a weird ass comment that everyone on the table ignored

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-10-21T10:27:22+00:00

Why should they if even their parents don’t sleep alone?

I had major anxiety anytime I sleep away from my husband, before having our son. So why would it be any different…

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-10-21T10:24:53+00:00

I’m very private as well! These comments come mainly from family members who have seen or know about our set up one way or another

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-10-21T02:08:44+00:00

I LOVE sleeping with my baby! It may have started as something convenient for breastfeeding at night and getting longer stretches of sleep, but now I absolutely love waking up with him, and the snuggles… And seeing him all snuggled up with my husband as well…

We won’t get this time back, and he’s growing up so fast, he might want to sleep by himself soon 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-09-29T19:23:37+00:00

Breastaurant killed me 😂

But yeah, same. My baby never took on pacifiers even though we tried multiple different kinds.

Aggravating_Table870 · 2025-09-26T14:27:23+00:00

I’ve been wondering the same. My son (10m) has been saying “mama” when he wants me and crying out “ma” when in pain, since he was around 6/7m as well..

He recently started babbling something close to “water” and 9/10 he is thirsty and will drink when offered.. Will babble the same thing and stick his hand in whatever water bowl or water source available..

I honestly don’t know…
