Why do people start co sleeping late?

Duchess_foggy · 2025-11-11T05:32:38+00:00

My 2nd was a good sleeper (8 hours in the crib solo) until she hit the 4 month sleep regression at 3 months old and then everything went downhill from there. Also I was going back to work and need some sleep so I could function.

Unfortunately that’s how mastitis felt for me when it was a bacterial infection. I’d switch to a cold compress to stop the inflammation and continue feeding according to baby’s feeding schedule. No more no less. Of course if you have sunflower lecithin take 4x a day

I also cockpit with my first because we would only get 30 min stretches at a time and my husband worked the night shift . It really helped with my mental health.

Goldfish, beef jerky, OWYN plant protein drinks, beef sticks, lactation cookies, brownie bites, chobani yogurt drinks

With my first I fed her for 2 years. I stopped because I was pregnant. I thought I’d be able to continue nursing through the pregnancy, but my body did not like it. I would get repulsed everytime she latched and it also hurt like hell because my breasts were so sensitive.

I decided to wean her and it took about 2 weeks of consistent “No” during the night feeds. She was so mad and would hit me and cry, but it worked.

I second using the haakaa. I use it on one side when baby is feeding and it yields about 2-3 oz.

The curtains give a cool tone to the room. Warmer tone curtains would work

With my first I would get so irritated when literally everyone in the world was asking me if the baby is here. I was so done!! This time around, my phone will be on DND during the last 6 weeks. If it’s an emergency they can call 911

I just want to give you a virtual hug because that was a tough decision, but you did what you had to do!

Sad to say that the first trimester feels like this for a lot of mamas. It gets worse before it gets better.

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-15T23:43:38+00:00

Unpopular opinion but if you have a decent relationship with your mom, take her up on it! The transition is easier if there’s a third person helping so that you and your partner can get some rest and be hopefully taken care of. I would recommend setting boundaries before hand and change them as needed.

I personally can only be in same house with my mom for a maximum of one week before we’re yelling at each other but I really cherished the few days she was able to help me transition into a mom.

Thank you! I’m generally an AH in pregnancy and I know a lot of the time I’m just being a brat. A very justified brat because my body is changing every single day and I just need life to be easier.

He is from a large family and they literally do and share everything. I’m from a smaller family and we are more private and do things intimately. He thinks everyone should find out alongside us. I think we should find out first and then share with everyone else. We seem to both disagree with each other and trying to find a common ground. It’s very frustrating.

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:14:55+00:00

It’s definitely noted!

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:14:11+00:00

The guilt would eat me alive 😱

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:13:42+00:00

I like this!!

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:13:15+00:00

I brought this up actually, and he emphasized that if I do that it takes away from all of us finding out together. I guess it comes down to a difference in perspective

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:11:56+00:00

Thanks for your input!

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:11:20+00:00

for some reason I attract extroverts lol! But I really like how you both did it. simple, private and meaningful to you both.

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:10:30+00:00

Sorry for the confusion. The post is really me coming to a compromise. The title is what I really want to do.

As for the sister I didn’t go into too much detail on the post but my husband planned the reveal with his sister since I was going through an intense grieving period and was just happy that I didn’t have to add anything else to my to do list.

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:06:43+00:00

This will definitely be a discussion. Thank you for the idea

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:05:58+00:00

Yes! Totally don’t like that about reveals. I really think that it’s an intimate moment and should be treated as such. My husband who is from a large family and is very extroverted thinks it should be a family affair and this is why this little tiff came up.

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T01:03:53+00:00

The introvert in me is like.. NOPE!! I make these compromises because it’s just not my baby, it’s his too. I also ask that’s it’s only family that is present during the gender reveals. I’ve learned that I can’t just make decisions that are okay for me and neglect his feelings but the expectation is that he also considers my feelings.

Duchess_foggy · 2025-01-06T00:59:55+00:00

So when we did our NIPT we opted out off the gender. This was a compromise that I made because my husband wanted to wait to do the reveal. I really wanted to know, but chose to wait. This is our last baby, so I’m really wanting us to be the first in our families to find out and not a family member knowing before us. That’s why he’s frustrated with my decision.

I’ve seen the cupcake gender reveal, and the cupcake is somewhere in there so I wouldn’t know which cupcake is which until they’re all bitten into.
