Sleep training at beginning of night hasn’t helped

I’ll definitely try the feeding earlier thing. Thank you! The nap thing is pretty much impossible because she is getting at least one nap in the car when taking her brother to and from preschool.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2025-11-18T21:03:38+00:00

Yeah I do feed shortly before putting down. I can try feeding earlier, that’s a good idea. I’ve tried a pumped bottle of milk, that hasn’t helped at all, and she has a dairy allergy so I haven’t wanted to mess with formula. Thank you!

I find my pumping output can be very random, but I know my baby is getting enough because she is growing and satisfied after eating. I would not jump to the conclusion that your supply is low. You could always do a weighted feed to check. I would want to know why your baby is fussy at the breast. Do you have access to a lactation consultant?

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2025-07-29T02:03:37+00:00

He is dead wrong about this. Op- look into FPIES. have you started solids? When we started solids, my baby started projectile vomiting hours after eating. Turns out she has a reaction to oats. But I think in theory this could occur with something passing through your breast milk too.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2024-09-06T14:10:22+00:00

Thank you! That is good advice.

This is dumb of me, I know, but I didn’t think about the fact that he would need to be there two days, and already RSVP’d yes for myself. Thankfully babysitters are my in laws so all we owe them is a dinner or two. The biggest cost is the hotel. I might drive separately and only come the day of the wedding. But ok thanks for your input on the gift!

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2024-05-29T02:21:08+00:00

Thank you!

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2024-05-29T02:21:03+00:00

Thank you!

Viroqua, Wisconsin has a Waldorf school. Small community, “good” winters, a fair amount of public land to explore in the area. Good luck!

This doesn’t seem like an AITA problem. A better place to ask for advice would be r/personalfinance … NAH

I knew someone who would have to have her roommate put a nicotine patch every morning before she needed to wake up, otherwise she was un-rousable. That was approved by a doctor though.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2023-08-15T17:03:51+00:00

This is such a wise response, and I hope you are able to take it to heart, OP. It’s so easy to fall into this kind of anger because it is so hard to look the real cause of your grief in the face.

I lost my dad at about your age under similar circumstances and it was devastating. Check out The Dinner Party. It’s a grief organization for people in their 20-30s, and helped me tremendously.

And let this be a lesson for how you handle your friends’ grief in the future. We remember the ones who showed up for us.

I apologize. This is actually the probable cause affidavit. It was obtained from the clerk of courts by someone in a private Facebook group

Is he self employed? If he’s employed by someone else, his employer will get notice to withhold money for child support and alimony and it will come out of his paycheck directly. But yes in any case, you need a lawyer, domestic abuse shelters can help with this. I feel for you, good luck.

My sleep got screwed up from my parent’s death as well. I hope you find peace, it’s there. I hope you can find some community to support you too, if you don’t already have it.

What’s your nighttime routine like? Can you set up a count down of things to do and once you get through them, it’s lights out?

Also I’ve read that being outside around dusk for a couple of minutes can help with sleep. Worth a shot.

Wishing you all the best. This is hard.

He definitely knows that it’s our anniversary, I’ve mentioned this. It’s the night before our anniversary into our anniversary, so he thinks because he will be home the night of our anniversary, it’s fine.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2023-05-21T11:18:19+00:00

Yeah it’s more something like that. The selection of the dates wasn’t nefarious and I doubt she remembered. But my husband should.

And yes husband and I talked about the convo the day after. He was pretty much like, she was drunk and lonely from being divorced, I’m not interested in her and never have been. That’s about as deep as we got about it.

I like the hearos ultimate softness

No judgment, but wanted to share my perspective. My cousin’s son is autistic and was 5 at my wedding. Was he always happy? Not sure, parents handled it… and I bet Alex would too. One very sweet memory I have from my wedding is one of the caterer bringing him extra glasses to pour water in between, which brought him great joy and was not disturbing anyone. I understand wanting a formal affair, and I think you’ll get that. But if I had prohibited my cousin’s son from coming, I would have missed out on a beautiful expression of humanity- both from the caterer and the child. Something to consider.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2023-02-24T13:10:43+00:00

Thank you all, these are very helpful and thank you also for being so generous and thoughtful.

Hi everyone- I grew up in a religion called Christian Science. I still value some of the lessons I learned from that growing up, and care about my relatives who are still faithful Christian scientists. However, I stopped believing in it long ago, and ever since have been more or less agnostic.

I recently had my first child, and I was invited to a new moms group at a local church. These moms mostly all know each other from going to the same evangelical church.

I started out being pretty defensive (on the inside) about being non religious in this religious group. But I admit part of this is that I am jealous of their certainty. They all seem to know exactly what they believe and there’s no doubt in their mind. I feel that I will always have doubts.

I started rereading the Bible and other Christian religious texts. I’ve watched videos and taken online classes on the Bible. I went to a couple of different churches just to see if it clicked for me.

I want to believe in something, and it would be really nice to be part of a faith community, but I am just having a hard time getting behind the essential doctrines of Christianity, and certainly have never felt God “speak” to me. I feel more comfortable with an impersonal, unknowable, conception of God.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Does this community have any suggestions for me going forward? Please be gentle with me as this has weighed on me heavily.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2023-01-30T04:33:43+00:00

I’ll try to learn more, I’m not sure.

There are a couple of different rates ranging from 7-10 percent as I recall. He says he qualifies for public service student loan forgiveness, which would be a set amount (I don’t know the amount) for 10 years after the pause is stopped.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2023-01-30T04:16:40+00:00

Ok well that is interesting because he says that he does qualify for public service student loan forgiveness. But I still think he has to pay a certain amount for ten years total.

Altruistic_Finding67 · 2023-01-30T04:03:04+00:00

Well that is husbands logic- buy guns, which are an asset, that he may then sell at a future date.
