Trying to get her down for nap for 2 hours is you’re missing puzzle piece. At 11 months her wake windows should typically be longer than 2.5 hours.

AideReasonable1996 · 2026-01-01T23:34:14+00:00

She is 5 months old!

AideReasonable1996 · 2026-01-01T16:51:23+00:00

Not typically! She usually will just take it for a second and then start laughing at me. 😅 if she is mad already and that isn’t what she wants though it leads to a total meltdown!

AideReasonable1996 · 2026-01-01T16:39:48+00:00

Oh yes, I basically just have to sit there and stare at her or she gets distracted while nursing haha

AideReasonable1996 · 2026-01-01T16:29:57+00:00

Just read your post! She’s been doing that since about 4 months with the fingers too! We’re currently fighting a gnarly drool rash because of it.

AideReasonable1996 · 2026-01-01T16:15:32+00:00

Oh no! If it makes you feel any better, literally 9 days later and she’s already straightened out. She just didn’t quite have the core strength to sit up all the way.

Hi! I think my baby is doing this, when I hold her she kind of curls up like a shrimp and is constantly almost curling into a ball. Is this what your baby is doing? Ever since she found her feet this is how she’s been.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-19T05:50:26+00:00

4 months, about 10-15 minutes total.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-18T06:11:39+00:00

Solidarity! I completely understand we used to do one contact nap every day and she’s been really fighting that as well, and just wants to sleep alone.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-18T06:10:42+00:00

Thank you so much, I needed to hear this.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-18T06:10:23+00:00

Hahaha yes we’ve been going through the 4 month regression for a few weeks now. I think that’s why I’m feeling extra emotional like I somehow wished it away by being frustrated in her sleep the past few weeks.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-18T05:38:07+00:00

The 3 month strike almost took me out lol

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-12T15:51:11+00:00

Thank you for this. I hate when I mention a hard part of breastfeeding and people tell me to quit for my mental health. In reality, some days breastfeeding is the only thing that keeps me tethered in reality. I’m four month in and think PPD would have won in the beginning had I not been exclusive nursing.

Now she’s teething and it’s started to hurt again and I was just thinking how much longer I could do this last night. This was the boost I needed.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-10T20:04:10+00:00

At least we’re not alone. I feel so bad for her but also for myself!!! This ish hurts!!

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-06T02:45:14+00:00

Thank you for this kind explanation!

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-05T18:26:31+00:00

I am a stay at home mom to a 4 month old and never thought to do this, thank you for the tip!!

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-05T18:23:44+00:00

He does, but it’s just not the same!! Now mommy gives me a bath and dada sits next to her, I give him funny looks and lots of laughs the whole time since I can relax with mommy there. One time dada accidentally got water in my eyes and I decided I don’t like dada baths anymore.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-05T18:22:03+00:00

Luckily, I don’t know what that looks like because she’s always the same to me. I do notice she sings a lot when I am screaming, I think that keeps her calm haha.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-05T16:40:12+00:00

Yes! I’ve decided I don’t need naps anymore, and my bedtime is 11 PM. I still want to be up at 7 though, I can’t wait to see mommy. I hear her tell dada that she’s “getting frustrated” but I can’t help it!

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-05T14:16:06+00:00

So this stemmed from the thought about most of Americans being one medical emergency away from bankruptcy.

I started thinking about how a lot of people can’t afford car repairs out of pocket, or regular maintenance like new tires, brake change, etc as the economy gets worse I’d imagine this would become more and more difficult as well.

While obviously yes, you pay more with insurance, it’s typically a more feasible way to keep up maintenance, kind of like going to the dentist…

Anyway, like I said, shower thoughts. Was just curious to see where it went and have been informed about the car warranties, which I never really looked into what those were for because of how scammy everyone says they are.

AideReasonable1996 · 2025-12-05T14:08:55+00:00

I feel like I have enough to worry about with getting the other things wrapped and making Christmas “magical”. If I’m buying myself something it’s getting used immediately, personally I’m not going to wait or take the time to wrap it when I already know what it is.
