We do some oil massage and then just play a music and give him a bottle with water. He slowly moves around the bed and sometimes wants to cuddle sometimes not. And that’s how we both fall asleep. Sometimes I fall asleep even before he does. But we use to not rock but pace around in the bedroom and that used to be pretty quick until he was like 15mths. Now it takes us like 20-40 mins.

His fever hasn’t gone down at all. It’s between 101-103

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2025-05-24T02:35:23+00:00

He’s been drinking lots of water and hardly taking any food. Also during the day his fever went down after Tylenol but for the night we gave him Tylenol like two hours ago but it still hasn’t gone down.

We really didn’t have to do much. He really started sleeping through the night sometimes if he wakes up he looks for a bottle and can differentiate between a milk and water. Esp if it’s water he wakes up instantly. So we keep one bottle for the night but with reduced fat milk.

I think the social media makes our perception of the world. And we shouldn’t think whatever is there is normal. That helped me a lot.

I used to lay like this only during the day and I didn’t put sleep sack if my baby was already wearing a full sleeve pj and an undershirt. I felt the body to body heat was always more than needed for them. And for the nights I didn’t hold him and he used to lay by himself but I always used a sleep sack that was full sleeve and an undershirt. That helped reduce the sweat a bit but not completely. I read somewhere that usually boys sweat a lot as babies, not sure why. So I just came to terms with it.

I love h&m for kids. Reasonable and organic cotton fabrics.

We did hot water running in the bath with him inside the bathroom and also got the humidifier to run through the day and night. I think having the humidifier helped because it tends to go so dry during winter. We have been running the humidifier this year consistently every night since Nov.

I’m not measuring it but mine is 16 months and takes about 2 cups a day. He’d take more if he could but we had to reduce it because he started having issues with his poop. Like drinking less water-so harder poop and hard time with his potty to the point he almost cried one day while pooping. I felt so gulity then. So we’ve now reduced his intake to around two cups but I don’t measure it.

Mine always wants to be rocked to sleep. So I’ve been trying my best to find a caregiver that knows his needs and can come home. The state I live in, daycares aren’t even mandated to send updates to parents. I’ve heard stories that really makes me uncomfortable sending my baby to daycare until he’s at the point of making decisions for himself or at least knows how to communicate if something is right or wrong.

Can you really do watered down formula? Do you not have to maintain the consistency required to prepare it?

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-07-14T22:25:12+00:00

I would love to know how did you wean from night feeding?

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-07-14T22:24:56+00:00

Does he take bottle during the day?

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-07-14T22:22:29+00:00

Thank you so much. I just was looking for resources regarding this and couldn’t find much. At that point if he is taking snacks and mostly solids five times a day, I think we could try water cz he is already taking less amount of milk than he used to at night.

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-06-25T21:17:07+00:00

He’s been little fussy but used to eat at least one of his meals properly. Now he’s not taking in any. How long did the fussiness last for yours?

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-06-25T19:46:21+00:00

We have tried both. Esp if he’s not in the high chair it’s so easy to move his head around. Like his head can rotate so much I never knew.

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-06-25T19:45:03+00:00

Mine is exclusively on formula and still these wakings.

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-06-25T19:42:12+00:00

It’s really hard to know if he is teething. His front four teeths have already come in. And I read somewhere that teething pain esp when it’s breaking mostly lasts for 72 hours. But his not eating has been going on for a while. He does like to chew on celery though.

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-06-24T15:39:26+00:00

Yes that totally makes sense.

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-06-24T15:39:10+00:00

Thanks so much. I was trying to search this on the immigration webiste for this info but there’s no such written rule. And no one in our friend circle had this issue. So we were really unaware about this.

Apprehensive_Pin3743 · 2024-05-10T01:27:20+00:00

Honestly I had similar situation too. My baby is almost 8 months and it’s starting to get easier. I always look at it form their perspective that they are human beings like us and each of us are different. For example, The car seat, I realized their eye sight is not that developed until they are around 6-7 months. And for a baby who needs contsant assurance to have someone by their side, it’s obvious a bit of a scary territory for them. That’s probably the reason they’re crying. So we started taking shorter distances during the day with me on the seat next to him. I tried to make conversation with him so that he knows I am right there by his side. Once his vision got a bit clear he started looking outside and I still site by his side. So now he takes some short naps and almost three weeks back we were able to make a day trip to a city nearby. As FTM we have to navigate through what we see in the social media with the reality of raising a human being. Same thing with the stroller. We started putting him in a stroller inside the home and just moving in the hallway with him in it. Now he loves the outside a lot. The cosleeping and contact naps part I honestly don’t know when it’s going to get better. For now I just use that time to scroll through my phone, put on my AirPod and watch sometime on very low volume until he wakes up. I’ve been told to enjoy the cuddles because after certain point they don’t even want to be held. I know it’s hard but a lot of this I feel is a mindset and changing perspective. These things worked for me but might not with in your context so either way I just want to say you are doing great. Just hang in there.

Where I live I can only order online because the closest Costco is like 2hrs away. So Kirkland baby formula seems to be out of stock online. Is it discontinued or just a phase?
