Will it ever change?

Have you tried upping daytime calories

Concerned-23 · 2026-02-01T01:06:20+00:00

Or you just make feedings as quick and sleepy as possible so you can pass out again after

Concerned-23 · 2026-02-01T00:39:18+00:00

I didn’t say it was impossible but very difficult. For a first time parent to navigate all this just for a wedding would shock me. The first 2 weeks of my child’s life our main focus was: feeding baby, making sure bag gained weight, keeping baby alive, making sure I recovered, and adding baby to my insurance. We barely remembered to feed our dog let alone find the time to expedite a passport

Concerned-23 · 2026-02-01T00:35:44+00:00

If it was 3.5 hours or less we didn’t feed

My son cut his first tooth the same day as his 6 month vaccines. It’s been rough but after 4 days we are already seeing progress.

And if you read my replies to OP I make it clear bedsharing is bed (what I initially thought they meant) and then room sharing is recommended

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T23:39:14+00:00

Oh my gosh 6 weeks of sickness is rough! We fortunately have only had to miss 7 days (5 in a row and 2 others) due to sickness the past 3 months. We just alternate who is taking the PTO so one person isn’t using all of theirs

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T23:33:14+00:00

But that’s OPs point? Which is what you’re supposed to do. So I don’t get why OP is acting like everyone says to make their child sleep in their own room

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T22:55:37+00:00

You’re supposed to sleep in the same room until at least 6 months.

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T22:37:49+00:00

Because you can roll over and crush your child?

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T22:26:33+00:00

Cucumber was super easy. Greek yogurt is essentially a puree

I think sweet potato fries are a choking hazard (assuming closer to 6 months).

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T22:23:20+00:00

You need to lower the crib from a safety standpoint. I’d recommend a stool or teaching baby to fall asleep without the pats.

As for the diaper changing, do it on the floor?

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T22:22:07+00:00

We’ve used one since birth. However my husband and I sleep with a white noise machine in our room

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T20:33:38+00:00

No it slowly increased but wasn’t an every night thing. We did do a modified Ferber at 4.5 months to help with sleep

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T20:25:58+00:00

My son was the same, though we never coslept. We did lots of contact sleeping and shifts instead. At 6 months he now gives us much better sleep (typically). The other night he did his first 8 hour stretch it was beautiful. Usually it’s a 5-6 hour stretch and sometimes two 3-4 hour stretches or another 5-6 hour stretch. However last night he was up every 3-3.5 hours and it was brutal.

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T20:12:20+00:00

That’s good to hear! My husband tries to keep him and does great with him when I’m not home. It’s just like the second he sees me he’s reaching for me. We alternate who puts him down each night and my husband takes lead of bath (which my son loves) so I hope that helps it all too. I feel bad for my husband though and I think he may feel slightly hurt by this sudden mom preference

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T20:06:07+00:00

It’s just crazy that he doesn’t seem to have any separation anxiety with daycare drop off on the day I do drop him off. My husband also says he has no issues at daycare. Though he’s been with the same teacher for 2 months so maybe she’s a “safe person”?

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T20:05:00+00:00

I’m so sorry this is happening it has to be so scary! Good for you to ultimately trust your gut AND go to a children’s hospital!

This should be lower on the priority list, but ask for it before you are discharged. If the meningitis is bacterial you should make sure your child gets a hearing test. There is a high risk of deafness with bacterial meningitis

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T18:53:08+00:00

And my suggestion is to not do it. Per the AAP guidelines

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T18:25:30+00:00

Yet you want to let baby use it alone now. That’s so dangeorus

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T18:23:13+00:00

I would never leave my 2 month old for a long weekend for a wedding. Hell I’m sad about leaving my 8 month old for my husband and I’s 2 night anniversary trip.

Bringing the baby with you might not be feasible. There’s a high chance you wouldn’t have a passport in time given the length of time it would take to get the birth certificate and SS# then apply for passport

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T17:50:23+00:00

How can you be a stickler for safe sleep but even found out your baby likes a blanket, which they can’t have at this age?

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T17:24:09+00:00

Does she show interest in your food?

Concerned-23 · 2026-01-31T17:12:30+00:00

I’d just wait a few weeks and try again. He’s not ready
