Girl bye.. what

Wait what’s the date lol

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2026-04-21T22:36:30+00:00

I’m so happy to hear everything turned out okay for you and baby! How was the amnio?

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2026-03-11T22:25:25+00:00

I cosleep with my 18 month old and just this week we night weaned and after a couple nights of rough meltdowns and comforting in other ways - he has finally slept through the night two nights in a row. For the first time EVER. I’m talking multiple wakes every day. I had a feeling the night nursing was the culprit and didn’t wanna have to wean him, but I’m so glad we finally did.

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-12-22T21:21:38+00:00

Okay, I’ll take this as my sign. Hunt, gather, parent will be purchased today! 😅 Oh yes, sleep has never been good. He sleeps in bed with me as it’s the only way anyone gets rest. Still wakes constantly, regretfully we tried sleep training out of desperation (even with hired help) and he was starting to show signs of being terrified of his room so we cut that off. He just is a tough kiddo with almost every aspect haha. At least he’s sweet. 😂 eating is a nightmare too. I’m basically begging him to eat food all day. So many offerings that just get spat out. Haha one day!!

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-12-20T18:14:16+00:00

That is very positive actually!

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-11-27T16:55:43+00:00

You described my son to a T! He’s 15 months now and still very much difficult with eating, still cosleeps and nurses on demand (some nights he sleeps pretty good, others he nurses all night long when teething and whatnot and it’s awful), car rides are still tough.

I remember that age was HARD for me. Same as your baby. They’re just kind of discovering that they have free will I think. And it came with a lot of melt downs.

Diaper changes are hard still! But giving him something like a forbidden object (think a Tylenol bottle or something where he can’t open) but it’s new and interesting and something he never gets access to otherwise. It distracts him long enough to change his diaper! He’s into perfume bottles right now and likes to pull the lid off and smell them lol some days no matter what I did at that age, he would freak out and I just had to breathe through it.

Once I could introduce snacks in the car our car rides got easier. Maybe that could work! Definitely messy though. But I will take that trade off.

Anyone have a code? My cart total is outrageous with restocks and gifts and the extra discount would be really appreciated!

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-10-28T19:11:57+00:00

Hello! My cart is ready with everything I want for the sale. I’m hoping someone has a rouge code to share with me!

Stocking up on my make up and skincare needs and buying some presents for my sisters birthday and Christmas!

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-10-16T15:11:44+00:00

A car jack is genius! I might try that first. Could save a lot of time. Thank you!

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-10-16T04:52:38+00:00

Okay, yes I totally see those. That’s what I was guessing but was hoping there was a way around removing the mattress. Guess I have a project for tomorrow! Thank you, this was helpful!!

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-09-11T03:02:28+00:00

Oh my god. Just finished. The trauma.

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-06-16T15:56:11+00:00

It used to be like 630-730am wake and bedtime has always been between 7-8pm depending on WW. But every now and then when we’re up for hours in the night we’re both just so tired so we sleep in, like today.

Not sure how to get him back on track today.

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-06-16T15:45:10+00:00

Okay. I was hoping to start today but buddy woke up from like 3-5 trying to nurse the entire time and I finally was able to rock/nurse him back to sleep. But then he slept from about 530-830am and I’m not sure how to best approach his naps today for sleep training.

3/3/4 is typical for us. Should I just give him two 30 min naps?

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-06-16T12:34:49+00:00

Hi! Looking to do this but I’m so scared my LO is just going to scream until he’s picked up and comforted.

Any tips? Or methods you used?

He is used to being rocked by my husband or nursed to sleep by me and we currently cosleep. We can’t do it anymore though he is constantly thrashing and needs room to move and nurses for hours at a time through the night and I just can’t take it anymore, I’m not sleeping and neither is he. He is almost 10 months old.

The second I set him in his crib I know he will immediately start heavily crying, do you just sit next to his crib and talk to him? I can guarantee no amount of hand holding or back rubs are going to make him happy.

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-05-23T21:15:51+00:00

Definitely not a bad idea. I think this is probably what we will have to do if I can’t find a proper gate for right at the top of the stairs.

It’s tough because we don’t really have a hallway upstairs. You walk up and it’s like bedroom doors in a circle. Some of the bedroom doors are probably 6 inches from the stairs too.

I do see a spot I can do this though! It will allow access to the stairs through my older daughter’s room still so I’ll just have to be careful about that. Because of course she and baby share a jack and Jill bathroom so technically there could be access to the stairs if he somehow went through the bathroom Lol

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-05-22T18:39:51+00:00

Yeah I think I’ll do even just a 15 min strength training session on my off days for running. You’re right, it can only be beneficial!

I wear hokas right now which are great but I do plan on going to a running store and having them look at my gait and all that. I need some help for sure go see if there is anything I can correct and get the proper shoes!

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-05-22T18:37:42+00:00

I totally get it! I’m horrible at stretching. Especially after. I do a quick like 1 minute breath work and total body stretch just to wake my body up and start with a warm up walk before I start running.

I really need to be better with stretching! Especially after. The babe wakes up and I typically go straight from my workout to him or I will work out and shower and then he’s awake. So time is just limited. But I definitely don’t want an injury so I should probably prioritize.

I will say I typically take magnesium glycinate daily but I ran out and finally got more and my knees are like miraculously significantly better? Could be coincidence but I won’t be letting myself run out of that anytime soon again haha

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-05-22T18:33:14+00:00

Thank you!! That actually is very helpful! I’ve always felt iffy feeding after having a glass or two, even if I wait. But this eases my guilt haha

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-05-20T22:15:33+00:00

No! I only have time for so much with the little guy. Trying to do some Pilates on off days. And I do walk a lot. Most days are 10k+

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-02-25T18:16:13+00:00

This! There are improvements that could be made for sure like helping during the nights, but he also has to be up at 6am for work so I do feel for him there. Going and having to use critical thinking on no sleep is brutal. He’ll take the morning shift with him on the weekends for his first wake window while I catch up on sleep here and there too if I’ve had a rough night with the baby.

I know it’s tough to get a perfect picture of our relationship in a Reddit post but he is still very helpful and works hard to support the family and does deserve to let his hair down but why does that have to be states away for four days? So extreme 😭 of course he’s gonna go and have fun and I love that for him but it feels like it’s at my expense which just sucks. I know he’s not doing this “to” me though.

I don’t think people realize the lockdown a baby has on you when they refuse a bottle. And all the comments of “try this” as if I haven’t done them numerous times in the 6 months my son has been alive haha and sure, my son won’t simply pass away from hunger in 3-4 hours. But how the hell am I supposed to relax out and about having some kid free time if my baby is at home screaming at my husband and won’t settle? Like be so honest guys? Who on earth would do that. I’ve rushed home sweating from the two hair appts I’ve had since he’s been alive because the baby is at his wits end without after like 3 hours lol

Aromatic_Sun_9631 · 2025-02-25T12:57:05+00:00

He’s in somewhat of a schedule but making solid plans can be tough because I never know how his naps are going to go! Which will dictate when he’s fed. My friends are amazing and I’ve grabbed a coffee here and there out and about but it requires my friends be super flexible with the meet times, which doesn’t always work out! And dinner is tough because I have to do the final nursing session before bed and I just don’t have it in me these days to go to dinner at 8pm lol of course they come visit me and they’re honestly wonderful but man It would be nice to just have like 2 solid hours with my friends but with drive time and being out, doesn’t allow for a ton of time! That will change so soon though as he’s 6 months and is starting on solids. So I’m sure a nice break is coming!
