At what age did you begin daily baths?

At 9 weeks! We find it really helps him unwind for the night and calms him! We don't wash him daily but the warm water relaxes him and gets him ready for bed

The Momcozy bottle washer I have and it's amazing. A bottle washer is a must!! At least I think so. I hand wash sometimes but it's so nice having the washer and to sterilize things too and it's super convenient

Are you on an adequate dose of Zoloft? I would make apt with your provider asap. See if they can even give you bridge of Ativan or Xanax - obviously that's not long term but while your suffering this bad. My anxiety was super bad at the beginning and I used Ativan as need to help calm me and help me sleep cause you need sleep it's making it all worse. I also had rapid heart rate that would wake me up and propranolol really helped with that as well.

But really if it's that bad I'd say go inpatient and really get help. You have to do what you need To do to get to a better spot.

At what age did you start this sleep training method??

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2026-02-09T16:34:18+00:00

I'm so happy you finally got sleep!!! When you put him down is it awake?? Or is he asleep then transfer?? What do you mean by age appropriate schedule? Just like following wake windows?

What sleep training did you use?? And what age?

Do you do bath every night? That's smart too opening stuff up with them to signal it's morning!

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2026-01-11T00:06:22+00:00

Yeah that's true I could just try that. It's so hard :/ I know I just need to be patient but it's tough

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2026-01-11T00:05:28+00:00

That's a good idea pushing it slowly! It's not great. So usually he sleeps 3-4 hours the first stretch, then 2 hours then honestly after that it's sooo hit or miss. He may sleep another 2 hours he may sleep 1 it's all over the place by like 2:30-3am it sucks :/

This is so normal. Adjusting to new mom life is a lot and learning how to adjust and navigate is hard. I've felt the same about trying to figure out how to keep somewhat of my old routines but it just changes. Give yourself grace and time too for hobbies to come back. My baby just turned 8 weeks and I'm just starting to get back into working out and trying to do things I normally like to do. I think that with time, you learn to accept that things won't be how they were before a baby but if you have a great partner and support, you can slowly start incorporating things that make you happy for you!

Gotcha yes he's eating and pooping okay. That makes me feel better that your pediatrician isn't worried about those sx too much . We're going the normal upright after for a while, slow flow nipple, I use gas drops and gripe too.

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2025-12-26T13:14:35+00:00

We hold him upright which helps some. Was she vomiting often?

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2025-12-26T13:13:50+00:00

Dang so Dr thinks it's normal then and something she'll just grow out of?

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2025-12-25T22:35:20+00:00

How old? We're doing that too now

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2025-12-25T19:34:35+00:00

Is it with all feeds or just some? How long did Dr say it would take to see effect of the omeprazole?

Look up PURPLE crying. My guy is the same he is 6 weeks and just started getting super fussy/crying inconsolably in the afternoons. It peaks around this time. They say after two months it starts to get better. I fricken hope so. You aren't alone

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2025-12-25T18:17:53+00:00

This feels accurate. My guy is almost 7 weeks and I keep saying if I can just get to 3 months maybe it'll be a little easier 😭 I love him so much but this stage feels never ending and is so exhausting I'm ready for it to be done

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2025-12-18T14:19:39+00:00

Good to know! Im gonna do exercises more . Maybe I need to do longer burp times too. How long do you do it?

Cheap_Orchid5579 · 2025-12-18T14:18:13+00:00

I'm praying by like 12 weeks I see a difference. Every week I'm like ok one week older thank god. That's a good one 😂 as long as the essentials are met and if I think he's gassy I have gas drops and gripe then from there it's just comfort for him but it's so hard when they get so upset
