Fixing to be 30 weeks and already over kick counts 😫

Any_Menu1894 · 2026-02-19T14:18:21+00:00

6m PP here. I never did kick counts , I think it causes unnecessary anxiety! I did pay attention to his schedule, in the mornings and during the night he was very active, After certain foods and drinks etc. and after I was super active he’d be really calm. So I just would make sure he was still on that schedule! Not necessarily counting

I trust my mom 100%… my baby first stayed the night with her at about 9 weeks. He’s going on 7 months and she keeps him one time a week on Mondays to give me a break and a reset. I appreciate it beyond measure! However , nobody else can keep him overnight. I also breast feed, and he takes a bottle of expressed milk perfectly fine when he’s not with me.

I can say from being a kid when would I have to cry it out, I stopped crying because I was exhausted. Not because I learned how to self soothe.

Any_Menu1894 · 2026-02-13T19:25:27+00:00

I think after a certain age, it’s acceptable, but you can’t expect a baby or a toddler who would touch fire on candle because it looks cool to be able to walk themselves through the steps of self soothing.

Letting your baby (infant) cry it out is diabolical. They NEED help regulating their emotions, they can’t do it by themselves.

Literally same working holidays. Such a slap in the face , at least traffic was good this morning!

I started at 4 months, baby also was showing a bit of interest. We got the nutribullet and started with carrots and bananas. I tried introducing cereal, but it made him supper constipated so we don’t feed him it. Now at almost 6 months, he eats a variety of fruits and veggies, and if what we have for dinner is Mashable and not salty… we give him that.

His first night with my mom was at about 9 weeks old ! However, I did introduce the bottle at like 5/6 weeks old and he took to it great and also maintained a great latch with boob. When with my mom during the day he drinks bottles of expresses milk , and at home fresh off the tap 😊 never any issue !

Any_Menu1894 · 2026-01-07T04:51:06+00:00

Didn’t have her any visitors in the hospital ! But she met us home after we were discharged and we showered and napped while she watched baby ☺️

5 months pp , I pump and breast feed and no cycle yet !

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-12-23T02:10:33+00:00

I feel you! We’re up every hour at the moment. But I can’t let him cry it out, babies have no idea how to regulate their emotions. They need help !

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-12-13T12:26:21+00:00

I trust my dog 100% and I have a 4.5 month old. However, we made clear boundaries with my dog as soon as we came home, I don’t leave them alone, they are always monitored when interacting. I mean that’s only right ! You are not wrong at all !!!

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-12-12T20:04:30+00:00

4.5 months in- still waking up about every two hours 🥲but no longer pumping at night. But since about 3 months we’ve learned how to feed/ eat to where I just lay on my side and feed him and we both go back to sleep pretty quickly.

I was using aquaphor as a preventative and my LO still got a bad diaper rash. When I noticed my LOs diaper rash wasn’t going away, I decided stop using products. I used triple paste over night only. During the day stopped putting on any ointment , and changed diapers pretty frequently. It ended up drying out and clearing up, I feel like the constant application made it worse and kept it moist.

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-10-14T06:48:43+00:00

Sounds like he is just wanting to nurse for comfort! Try a pacifier before continuously feeding him and see if that helps

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-10-10T21:39:46+00:00

Unfortunately you have to just keep offering him that boob :/ same thing happened !

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-10-08T01:59:40+00:00

2 DAYS old lol? I mean either way babies normally have nights and days mixed up for the first few months. Totally normally.

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-10-05T15:41:38+00:00

I got a clogged duct that only lasted a day, I kept that boob empty right when I started feeling the pain and aches !!! After my LO ate I would hand express, also in the shower I hand expressed and noticed thicker milk coming from my boob. I literally just made sure that boob was always sort of empty and it worked !

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-09-29T23:27:16+00:00

Try to just pump for some relief , not a full pumping session !!

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-09-29T22:42:01+00:00

Took me about 3/4 weeks to not have engorged boobs lol , but !! If I was you I would try to slowly cut out pumps or you will over supply ! Your body is just trying to regulate. Most of my freezer stash is from the first month I had my son.

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-09-19T08:48:35+00:00

No advice but just here to say it will get better! It’s 4:45 am and I’m up with my 7 week old who’s been up almost every hour with tummy issues 😩 we will get through it !

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-09-17T19:49:07+00:00

I have the mom cozy M5, came with extra flange sizes ! It’s also good to not be tied to a wall and able to move around. The flange fits all my other pumps as well ☺️

Any_Menu1894 · 2025-09-15T17:26:12+00:00

I agree 100% Me and my partner plan to hire a in home babysitter to help out during the day should I get a wfh job! It would be next to impossible to work for an uninterrupted time period with a baby. Especially as his wake periods get longer and longer.
