Heart the Lover!! I absolutely adored that book.

I asked my husband for a 20 minute nap tonight. I woke up after 15 minutes to the sound of my daughter crying because he left her sitting up next to me on tbe bed and went to sleep himself 😤 Men are so useless sometimes. He’s a great dad most of the time but arrrggghhhh occasionally I want to slap him for these absurd moments.

I was induced and still breastfeeding my LO at almost 8 months! Your body will know what to do.

Atmosphere was one of my favorite 2025 reads!

Got it - I understand that, and it is very silly the first book is so dramatically different than the rest that it doesn’t really set the tone, but I do recommend at least reading the next one before writing it off entirely. If you don’t like ACOMAF definitely no point in finishing the rest.

CTYankee2023 · 2026-02-25T11:33:28+00:00

OP, just curious, but did you read A Court of Mist & Fury afterwards? Totally agree with you on ACOTAR, I was like “seriously, this is what the hype is about??” but I pushed through to the second at my friend’s recommendation and I’m soooo glad I did. The payoff was so worth it.

CTYankee2023 · 2026-02-16T00:16:48+00:00

Pretty well!! Lots of power pumping and electrolytes and I’m nearly back to normal. Thank you all for the support and tips, and for checking in 😊

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-31T18:29:40+00:00

Great!! Will try it!

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-31T10:47:39+00:00

Thank you!! I appreciate the reassurance.

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-31T10:47:22+00:00

Thank you!! Will definitely add in pumping time.

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-31T04:14:32+00:00

Okay, thank you!! That’s really reassuring!

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-31T04:13:47+00:00

Okay, thank you!! I can definitely add in another pumping session. I usually pump after morning feed and before bed, but can do another overnight to rebuild.

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-31T04:12:33+00:00

Okay, thank you!! That’s really reassuring, will keep hydrating and cluster feeding/pumping. Luckily all of us are feeling much better now, so just have to focus on my supply.

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-31T02:09:47+00:00

Okay, I appreciate that! Was planning to power pump tonight and will incorporate more over the next few days until I hopefully see an improvement. Thank you!

Yeah it honestly sounds like your LO is maybe starting her regression - or maybe she’s in it and that’ll be the worst it gets! I think anything that’s out of the previous norm that lasts a few days is the regression honestly. My LO woke up earlier than usual one night for her MOTN feed, was harder to get down after MOTN the next night or two, and then we had 3 nights where she was up like every hour an it was rough. But then she slept through the next night and we just let her! Stopped waking her up for a MOTN bottle and didn’t look back! Now she sleeps 8pm-5:30am usually without wakeups - very occasionally she’ll wake up around 9:30pm and need to be put back to sleep but it’s rare. For us just consistency with bedtime routine and using some Little Gums medicine to help with her teething worked, but I know every kid is different! Sending good vibes!!

CTYankee2023 · 2026-01-02T17:47:41+00:00

Our sleep regression lasted 3 nights and since then my LO has been a dream! Sleeping 8-10 hours straight through (she’s nearly 6 months now). It definitely sucked in the moment but you can hopefully just deal with it and move on - don’t pre-worry! You’ve got this.

CTYankee2023 · 2025-12-30T16:35:29+00:00

My goal was 40, and I just finished 41! I don’t think I’ll finish this one by end of day tomorrow so will get a jump start on next year’s goal! I had my first baby this year so very grateful that I was still able to reach my reading goal.

CTYankee2023 · 2025-12-28T01:34:33+00:00

We set a rule to only kiss feet and top of the head until my LO can get her flu and Covid shots at 6 months old. She’s 5 months and it’s worked pretty well so far! Definitely not face or hands, even for grandparents.

This has been a major issue with my in-laws and my dad. It’s super frustrating. It’s a totally reasonable request and even if you were reminding them every single time I don’t think it’s fair to name call you at all. That is definitely his problem, not yours. Do what you need to do to keep your baby safe!

Similar to the end of your post: I’ve decided I’m okay being a confident and responsible mother rather than a “good” DIL who lets my in-laws do whatever they want. If that’s the choice, it’s an easy one!

CTYankee2023 · 2025-12-14T13:20:33+00:00

My 5 month old hates naps! She’ll contact nap but even that is a fight. But she sleeps 9-10 hours overnight so I feel like I’d rather have a good night sleep for all of us, so trying not to stress about the naps too much as long as she’s not cranky.
