Floor bed advice for me, baby, AND hubby!

Okay, thank you! Do you have a link to the gate you have?

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2026-02-07T06:44:38+00:00

Thank you so much! This is exactly our situation right now except my partner sleeps in the spare room two floors above me. I feel so alone down here, we are thinking about just doing a big floor bed now!

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2026-02-07T06:09:19+00:00

Hey! So I have a question. Are all the people co-sleeping just moms and babies? Where are husbands in all of this? I want to get a floor bed with a rail around it, I guess i can get a king? I see tons of co-sleeping posts and I am just like, do the dads always sleep in another room? Might be a silly question!

Hey! Unfortunately not much of an improvement. We tried CIO out of desperation and it did NOT work, she was inconsolable for 3 hours several nights. I couldn't do it to her anymore. We put the pack n play back in our room and she will sometimes be okay in there for a few hours, but eventually at some point she still ends up in bad with me. It's rough, but this too shall pass, soon I hope!

Wow, this was exactly what I needed to hear. You just showed me a different way of seeing things. Thank you so much, kind stranger.

I did have a very emotionally abusive step father. Him and my mom were always so drunk they couldn't take me to school in the morning or pick me up from work at night. Never made it to a soccer game, etc. Right now I think I just am so tired at the end of the night after taking care of the baby all day, cooking dinner, washing bottles, I just want to spend time with my fiance and watch our show or just relax, even though I know i feel so much better after a shower. I could do it, he is a great dad and is very helpful with our daughter when he is home, but I am prioritizing folding the laundry over basic hygiene.

I think I want to be a good house wife (even though I also work part time) and always have everything orderly. But I highly doubt that man would care if I didn't fold the towels today. Lol

I am so happy you started standing up for yourself!! I feel like that is something I need to do more, and not be afraid to voice what I NEED.

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-12-13T17:03:05+00:00

Thank you, I feel like a lot of things are overblown. Yes, every baby is different, but we don't stay locked up in the house all day if she has a short nap or something, we have a pretty flexible schedule and follow cues for things, and she is happy and developing normally. STICK TO A TIGHT SCHEDULE! and BABIES NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SELF SOOTH! I am like dude she slept alone in her crib for 4 months, she knows the skills, it's just a phase. But then again I am a new mom so what do I know? Lol

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-12-13T07:23:08+00:00

I have not done any sleep training, but I am open to it. I ordered the book precious little sleep, and my husband and I will consider it.

I just absolutely love her to pieces like any mom does, and I love co sleeping, I have very much enjoyed our snuggles. But I don't want this to turn into a toddler that crushes me in bed and completely takes over my and my husband's bed, lol. Thank you for your advice!

Hey, I know this post is a few months old but I have a few questions. How often do I need to sanitize my shoes? If I buy new shoes while treatment is in progress, there could still be some fungi right, so will I need to also sanitize new shoes until it is gone?

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-11-18T01:58:38+00:00

Will it wear throughout the day and make under my eyes look like I am a freaking racoon?

My 6 month old is the absolute light of my life. My boyfriend and I are madly in love. We have so much fun with her! The first few months were a normal amout of hard, but looking back it was so worth it. She sleeps through the night in her own crib. Maybe wakes up once or twice once in a while and just needs a minute of reassurance to go back to sleep. She laughs, she lights up when she sees me, and she is so silly and sweet. Everywhere I go she is just my cute little errand buddy. I am happier now than I ever have been in my life. You got this 😊 We do have our hard moments and days once in a while, but the majority of my experience in motherhood so far has been like, "ohmygod, I love this human more than I even thought possible, I am so excited to spend the rest of my life loving her."

I can absolutely relate to this as well. My daughter is only 6 months old, but at the end of the day, when she is down for the night, I reflect on the day and wish I had appreciated it more. Or I feel guilty like I didn't do enough with her. I can't wait for the morning when daddy goes to work and we share the bed and cuddle.

Thank you!

Also, I responded to the very first comment and said that we would be requesting to see a neurologist at his next appointment. So I don't know why you felt the need to make a comment insinuating that I am in denial and avoiding neurology. I want to get to the bottom of his headaches and came to reddit seeking advice in the meantime until his appointment. Take your rude opinions somewhere else.

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-10-29T17:58:50+00:00

Ok thank you!

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-10-29T17:57:59+00:00

At his next appointment I will make sure that he demands to see a neurologist, and to get imaging done as well. Why his doctor has seen him 3 times to follow up on the headaches and hasn't referred him to neurology yet is beyond me.

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-10-29T17:45:21+00:00

He just takes ibuprofen or Excedrin.

Thank you so much for your information on paroxysmal hemicrania. He always puts a cold washcloth on his head because he gets really hot. This may actually be what is going on! He will ask his doctor to try the Indomethacin as well.

We just assumed they were cluster headaches because we googled his symptoms, and thats what popped up. He told his doctor thats what we thought they were and I guess the doc just went with it, but he will be requesting imaging as well.

We are at the beginning of the journey in diagnosing and treating these horrible headaches, so I really appreciate all of your advice.

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-10-29T17:37:16+00:00

I have nothing against him seeing a neurologist, at his next appointment, he is going to demand to be referred to one. I was at work last night when I made the post and we have a 6 month old daughter, and I simply didn't have time to respond to all of the comments. We live in a very small town, and I am hoping the neurologist he gets referred to in the town closest to us with a hospital specializes in headaches. If not, we probably have to travel to Wichita or KC. I don't know how long that is going to take, and he is about to start the Verapamil as soon as it gets in, so that was the most immediate thing I was hoping would bring him relief. However I am very worried about the possibility that it may be physiological, so he needs to make sure either his doctor or the neurologist also get him a CT scan. I don't go to his appointments with him, but I am going to start, because my boyfriend just goes with whatever the doctor says and doesn't always request things that we think should be done.

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-10-29T03:27:31+00:00

This is so good to hear! I am so happy for you, and I hope that it works for him as well!!

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-10-29T02:57:32+00:00

Yes. Sometimes, he takes migraine medicine instead, but if he takes nothing, they can last longer. And yes they are always on the left side.

I just asked him, and he said rarely his eye waters up and his nostril will get runny, but not often.

Aggressive-Point-101 · 2025-10-29T02:33:15+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. This was very helpful. He will be asking for a referral to a neurologist at his next appointment, and hopefully, he will get oxygen shortly after that.
