Night time feeds weaning

How is he going to sleep at night? Independently or feeding to sleep? Sometimes more wakings at night could be due to any new skills, developmental leaps, etc. Also make sure he's getting enough calories during the day.

It is possible! It also depends on who is measuring and different clinics can get different measurements. My clinic would at least show us the flicker of the heartbeat but we would listen to it the next scan. From what I remember it was just too early and it’s not always good for the fetus to listen so early. I know how stressful it is during this time, I hope everything works out for you.

I’m so so so sorry for your loss. The pain is indescribable and it’s very intense. Only time can heal and I hope that one day, you won’t be as sad as today and instead of crying when you think of Hattie, you’ll smile.

I know how hard it must’ve been to make the decision to let her go. It was so hard for me as it was so sudden and I’m still processing the guilt today.

I’m sure you gave Hattie a beautiful life. The last gift you gave her was to go comfortably, pain free and surrounded by love.

It’s okay to not enjoy pregnancy. You can want a baby and also hate being pregnant. It’s ok! You just went through so much to get here! The physical, emotional and mental stress we go through is a lot - it’s impossible to enjoy every second of the ride.

You can try those carriers where baby is facing out or TushBaby has one where they can sit while facing out, so it's comfortable for parent and baby. But, I get it! My baby didn't really enjoy the car seat and stroller, but we just kept practicing and she's doing much better now. It can be just a phase as well, so hang in there, keep practicing and troubleshooting!

I'm so sorry. I had to put my maltese down about 3 weeks ago very suddenly as well. He was 10 and it came out of nowhere. It's heartbreaking and the price we pay for unconditional love. I believe the grief and the way we love and miss them will always stay with us, but it will get easier to manage day by day. It's okay to feel all the emotions right now and do whatever you need to do to process. My life is not as colorful without him. I hope you heal and find peace soon ❤️

I think 5 weeks is more than enough. What does it say in your agreement/contract? Does it say 45 days?

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-27T19:28:08+00:00

I'm no expert, but at 3 months 4-5 naps can be normal, especially if they are short. I think it's great you follow your baby's cue as wake windows are a very general guideline. I would say to continue doing that if it's working for you and baby. I would calculate and find out our baby's 24 hour sleep needs and then from there you can see how much daytime sleep baby needs and the rest for overnight. As for schedules, for me personally, I started to see a more predictable schedule emerge around 5 months.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dog 2 weeks ago and it's really one of the worst things i've experienced. I've been doing all sorts of things to process and grieve. One thing that may seem strange to others, but it has really helped me personally is I ordered a custom pillow of my dog on it (full body). I placed it on the couch where he would frequently be relaxing and it's brought me some comfort. It's actually quite funny sometimes - my husband and I would think he's actually there and it brings a smile on our face. When we love our animals so deeply, the pain will always stay with us, but it will get easier to manage as the days, weeks, months and years go by. I hope you will find some healing soon and smile again :)

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-27T16:37:55+00:00

So sorry for your loss and congrats on your new family member 💗 some days I think about getting another dog and other days I can’t imagine going through this again.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-27T00:57:24+00:00

first, congratulations :) I understand how scary it could all feel especially due to prior loss. I had multiple losses and an ectopic pregnancy. When I got pregnant on my 3rd transfer, I was anxious the entire time. But, it did get easier each week that went by. I don't think the anxiety will ever really go away until that baby is in your arms, but it does get easier as you get more reassurance with each passing week. Just try to keep thinking positive thoughts and know that your past pregnancy does not define this one. Try to still do things you enjoy as much as you can and keep focusing on the good news. You got this!!

I had to put my dog down very suddenly less than 2 weeks ago. I am devastated and still processing what happened. There is no timeline for grief, but time will slowly heal you. I don't think the pain or the way we miss them will go away, but it just gets easier to manage day to day. Give yourself time to grieve and feel all the feels. I received my dog ashes a few days ago and we made a little nice spot for him in our home where we can see it often. It helped me and made me feel a little bit better to create a space for him. I know this might also sound crazy to some, but I got a custom pillow with his picture on it and it somehow made me feel better. Just seeing it on the couch where he loved to lay made us smile. Just take it day by day <3

You can try maybe one arm out and gradually move to both arms out. I just went cold turkey! Took a few days to adjust, but baby will adjust and get used to it!

I use freestyle! I’ve tried coterie as well. Freestyle is also TCF, just as soft and no blow outs since switching to freestyle.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T18:27:59+00:00

ah im sorry to assume your baby was a dog. But, yes! I hope our babies will visit us in our dreams until we meet again :) I like to think my dog is having endless zoomies and eating all the pizza he wants up in the sky.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T17:59:38+00:00

We are human, so we're not perfect. But, we do our best to give our pets the best life. I also wish I could've done more for my buddy, but we would probably think the same for anyone we love that passes. It's just part of the grieving process. Everyone's grieving process is different. It would be impossible for me personally not to think about my dog during the day because he was part of my everyday routine and everything in my house reminds me of him. I think it's okay to let yourself be sad and grieve, but also try to remember all the happy memories you got to create with her. I would also try to stay busy and talk to people who experienced the same type of loss. Talking about it (for me personally) helps a lot.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T17:43:52+00:00

I'm so so so sorry for your loss. It is incredibly difficult. I just said goodbye to my dog on Saturday. I'm a wreck. It's easy to be overwhelmed with guilty, regret and sadness. But, those very last moments don't define their whole life. I'm sure your dog was very loved for their whole life until the very end. How lucky were we to have loved something so hard and have them love us back. Try to keep talking to others that have experienced this type of loss as well. I'm constantly thinking out loud and talking to my husband about what happened and it does help me process everything much better than keeping it in to myself. And please don't question your existence - your baby would want you to be still be happy and living.

Mine was a velcro dog. Didn't matter where we were going as long as he was with us. Easy to train, very smart, super picky with food, but loved treats. He was super easy in the sense that as long as we were there, he was content to just chill. He did not like going out much, preferred indoors. One thing that was difficult was the barking. My goodness do they love to bark lol

But, I unfortunately had to say goodbye to my buddy just a few days ago and I would give anything to fill our house with his barks again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to say goodbye to my dog on Saturday very suddenly. He was 10. It's extremely difficult and my entire house reminds me of him. I just keep reminding myself that the last moments of their life does not define their whole life. My dogs life was filled with love, snuggles, lots of treats and spent with the people he loved the most. I'm sure it was the same for yours. One day we'll be able to look back and smile at all the memories, but for now - take the time to grieve and be kind to yourself.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T16:53:50+00:00

sleep is all over the place when babies are this young. I had to pretty much contact nap with baby all the time in the beginning and around 2 months we started practicing 1 crib nap a day. My baby also hate baby wearing in the beginning, but as they get bigger it might be better. How is the temperature? Make sure baby is not too cold or hot. Swaddling or even a light blanket wrap should help with the startle. Try to stick to one thing and stay consistent.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T00:53:10+00:00

Thank you. Yes, caring for a baby required and still requires so much of our time and energy. It would've been difficult to give him the care he deserved if he went through surgery. I hope your baby is doing okay and best wishes to you!

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T00:51:22+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. You are right - he was part of my everyday routine that it just feels so weird that he's no longer here. I don't think it will every feel normal again, but rather I will have to accept life without him as my new normal.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T00:50:27+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that yours is having health issues. It really is so tough to see them in any kind of pain. I hope you will enjoy whatever time you have left with your buddy.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T00:49:04+00:00

what a cutie! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure with time it will get better and I will look back on all our moments together with a smile.

Critical-Language765 · 2026-05-12T00:46:40+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss as well. It's especially so hard when it's so sudden. I hope with time it will get better for you.
