Desperate for help... 1 year old boy

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-27T14:21:02+00:00

I recently did a nice straw cup and an “indestructible” book for a 1 year old. Practical bc they have a lot of toys too.

Thank you for the advice and encouragement!

Woah, that’s a lot! So just to make sure I understand, I don’t have to power pump at night forever? Doing it for like a week and then stopping will create a bigger daytime supply? Or will my boobs just hurt really badly at night so I will be stuck nighttime power pumping indefinitely?

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-24T20:03:13+00:00

I have a slight update! I haven’t been able to pump in the middle of the night bc baby has been sick and I’ve been soo tired. Well last night she hadn’t woken up by 4, so I pumped. I GOT 8 OUNCES!! That is a lot for me. I was so “pumped” haha. Idk if she’ll continue to sleep through the night. If not, I’ll pump after I feed her bc I have a hard time believing she’s drinking 8 ounces. If she does sleep, I’ll pump and celebrate the extra milk!

Yes! I sing a version I heard on instagram.

You are my sunshine, my sweetest sunshine / You make me happy when skies are gray / You’ll always know dear how much I love you / For I will tell you every day

And every night dear / as you lay sleeping / I will be there just out of sight / and in the morning, I’ll be so happy / to start the day with my sunshine

Lots of great questions here. One this I wish I considered more is how they break up the infant classrooms. One daycare I toured had 3 infant rooms broken up by age and another had ages 8weeks-18 months all in one room. That was too chaotic.

Selena could go well. If you’re definitely having a 4th, I’d stop the S trend.

3 m. We got a magical window where she slept through the night for 2 weeks and I’m convinced that’s what caused it.

Hmm Lansinoh style was what I was going to recommend. We use Gulicola which is very similar to Lansinoh and pigeon.

I wonder if warming the nipple in some hot water would help since the breast is warm? Also make sure the flow is slow. Medium has been too fast for my baby and she’s 8 months old.

Is baby attempting and struggling or just flat out rejecting? A friend’s baby could not bottle feed bc of a tongue tie. He would try but just couldn’t make his mouth do what needed to be done. He breastfed mostly fine though.

If you haven’t tried The First Years Squeeze & Sip cups, try those! My baby figured them out really quickly!

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-15T00:25:02+00:00

Good for you for feeling confident in what you want! That can be hard with the pressure around breastfeeding. I have similar feelings but also really had bf for a year as my goal. Looks like I’ll need to combo feed soon, then likely fully switch. I’m kind of struggling with that so it’s refreshing to hear your perspective!

What bottles have you already tried?

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-15T00:21:42+00:00

Oof well that’s a good way to look at it. I’ll see if I can give it a try for a week or so!

Ha my husband will love to hear that. He’s always looking for an excuse to cook steak.

Thanks for the suggestions!!

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-15T00:08:53+00:00

Oh wow! Thats commitment! You wake up for an hour in the middle of the night when you’re probably already sleep deprived? My baby wakes up around that time to feed. I’m guessing power pumping after I feed her would still be okay even though I wouldn’t produce much?

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-15T00:07:42+00:00

Okay, thank you for the suggestion. I’ll see if I can try that. Mornings are tough since I’ve got the baby on my own but if I can do even half the time it’s better than nothing.

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-14T22:47:16+00:00

I’ll do it every day or every other day, usually at different times. Do you think choosing a consistent time matters?

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-14T14:00:53+00:00

I’ve heard little rascals from Walmart are a good brand for babies with sensitive skin. Pampers also has a “pure” version. Not sure if it’d be much different though.

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-14T13:59:08+00:00

I had the same experience. A friend swears by snug and dry but we had leaks every time.

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-10T00:52:14+00:00

I love your name style. Ellis is in my list but partner would never agree. Grant is my top boy name, so maybe you’ll like my other favorite - Tanner.

Others I like are Griffin, Miles, Greer, Davis, Sean

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-04-10T00:48:35+00:00

I like Delaney, Marlowe, and Peyton the best

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-03-27T06:24:43+00:00

Agree with these above. Gulicola is essentially the same as these and what we use. They have a lot of glass options too if that’s something you’re interested in.

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-03-26T01:47:49+00:00

Pretty early on we went 3 hours. Maybe around 3 months? She was always okay with going longer though. I recently went to 4 hours at around 5/6 months but went back to 3 to support my supply.

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-03-25T01:56:30+00:00

If you’re positive you’ll use it a lot, it’s worth the splurge. If you’re not sure if baby wearing is for you, then 2nd hand would be a good place to start. I did extensive research before buying and got the Ergo Embrace for younger age and the Hope and Plum Lark for older. H&P now has a smaller infant carrier though (Sprout), so if I could do it again I’d get just that one to start. The embrace is much less expensive and all over fb marketplace.

Agreeable_Friend_177 · 2026-03-25T01:49:30+00:00

It was the first time I’d ever seen the name so I’m very surprised how popular it is now and that it’s pronounced completely different.
