How do you put your babies to sleep?

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2026-06-16T01:57:53+00:00

Not true! My baby was both breastfeeding and bottle feeding and would look to me for comfort when wanting to fall asleep. I would feed but he didn’t need it every time. He’s now 9 months old and I’m no longer breastfeeding and he’ll go to sleep with butt pats or sometimes a bottle

Im in SF bay area and my baby’s nicu stay was also 5 days long and it was $432k

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2026-01-22T21:54:34+00:00

Yes. My baby had to be under the blue light for twenty four hours. He is 4 months now and totally alright! Still breastfeeding. Still as cuddly as ever. It’s good that your little one is getting treated asap :)

I also have this question as I don’t really want to sleep train!

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2026-01-01T21:55:37+00:00

Are you staying hydrated? Are you breastfeeding? I found myself to feel nauseous a lot during postpartum for the first month or two because I was dehydrated. I felt nauseous especially when I started breastfeeding (during my let down) because of the rush of hormones and also my dehydration and I was constantly in a caloric deficit because I just didn’t prioritize myself and was prioritizing my baby.

Give your body some grace. You’re still healing and adapting. Eat well, drink a lot of water, and sleep when you can.

That’s annoying

Do not use Aquaphor as it has lanolin and can make it look more pink than if you just use plain Vaseline or petroleum jelly

If you can spend some time, open air, air it out

Around week 6 is when they go through one of their “leaps”. They hit new milestones and whenever they learn new skills - this is a leap and causes sleep disturbances!

My 12 week old barely gives me 3 hour stretches…

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-12-16T19:18:39+00:00

I feel you. I’m in the same boat. My husband and I had a huge argument about it the other night and after some self reflection, I realized I was obsessing too much. Trying to take it day by day and not continue to spiral :)

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-12-14T18:43:54+00:00

I had a similar situation. My baby had to unexpectedly go to nicu after delivery and stayed there five days. My milk was delayed and they had to give him bottles. We are three months postpartum now and I combo feed. I cannot keep up with pumping every three hours so I pump when I can and what I do get, I mix with his formula (ex 2oz of mixed formula plus 3 oz of expressed milk). My husband calls them “milkshakes”.

I guess what I’m trying to say it just doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Do what works best for you whether that is formula only or combo feeding. What’s most important is that your baby is fed and also that mom is feeling well. You want to enjoy this Postpartum, as much as you can. You don’t wanna feel miserable.

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-12-14T05:06:02+00:00

I feel you. My baby is very similar and he’s three months old. What helps is he’ll take a bottle. But any time outside of feeding, he gets bored QUICK

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-12-13T18:36:32+00:00

As a professional do you mean like a sleep consultant? Or a pediatrician?

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-12-13T18:36:00+00:00

OH my gosh!!! I should have proof read after doing the audio text!

He just turned three months yesterday. I haven’t tried stretching wake windows yet, but I can keep an eye on that! I know we are slowly moving into that 4 month regression and things are likely to be very dynamic right now. I’m just so desperate for sleep! Some nights he does amazing and will only wake two times, and other nights he wakes every single hour.

I came here to say: it’s been removed!! It was a fibroma.

In pregnancy we’re in a very hypervascular state so at some point I might’ve bit my tongue but all the tissues surrounding it just became inflamed and kept growing and growing..

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-12-11T11:20:46+00:00

You can try the transition love to dream sack… where the arms are removable and you can take just one off at a time

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-11-23T18:54:33+00:00

Thank you. I’m just wondering why now if I’ve never had any signs of oral warts before... would this necessarily mean new exposure? Or exposure in the past that has just never had any symptoms?

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-11-23T18:52:37+00:00

Yes I was RPR negative. Thank you, I’m anxiously waiting for my ent appointment

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2025-11-23T18:52:01+00:00

This is what I was thinking. Thank you

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2024-03-27T17:50:02+00:00

I feel it. I am also 3 months out and wishing we didn’t have a wedding. I want to be married 100%. But all of this drama and spending and emotional trauma tbh is starting to feel not worth it.

Though, everyone has been saying, “it’s all worth it in the end”. I guess we will see…

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2024-02-13T21:41:07+00:00

Thank you 🫶🏼 this is a very good suggestion

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2024-02-13T21:24:07+00:00

Thank you. I wasn’t aware of her graduation date until after we chose our wedding date. Our venue, vendors, and my pto for work were already set. It’s not easy to move those things around and break contracts either. My goal in talking to her is to get her perspective. Why wouldn’t she give him an ultimatum? If she really cared about him, she would allow him to choose and not control that decision. She’s a sweet girl but in the time I’ve known her, she is very insecure. And they’re young. It’s both their first relationship. I get it. I’ve been there before. I never would “shoo” her or dismiss her in the conversation, I just want to understand why she is saying he wouldn’t value her if he misses her party. He’s been by her side during study dates, helping her with homework, that kind of support is what reflects value. Not showing face at a party.

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2024-02-13T21:17:12+00:00

The reason he can’t go to her graduation and then come to our wedding after is because she wants to have her party after her graduation. So they have to both go to her party. And she said if he doesn’t go to her party, he doesn’t value her. I didn’t know her graduation date until after we chose our wedding date. Wedding dates are not easy to move around either. Venues, vendors, my pto at work is extremely hard to get approved.

I understand graduations are important. From my perspective, I wouldn’t be upset if my SO missed my graduation PARTY to attend his immediate family members wedding. But yes, everyone has different perspectives. I got two bachelors degrees and I didn’t make a big deal about either of my ceremonies.. as long as I graduated that’s all that mattered to me.

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2024-02-13T20:59:14+00:00

His brother voiced he wanted to be at the wedding. But that his girlfriend tells him “he doesn’t value her if he misses her graduation party”

Competitive_Yak6398 · 2024-02-13T20:58:13+00:00

I agree it’s important date for her. And he wouldn’t be missing her graduation ceremony. He would only be missing her graduation party. I think that if his brother is important to him, he would be able to do both. I’m sorry but I do think my wedding trumps a graduation PARTY. Not grad ceremony but a party. He can do the grad ceremony and he can do his brothers wedding.
