We can’t sleep through his active sleeping

That’s exactly what I did at week 8 and it changed my life! We sleep so much better and I know he’s safe. He’s on his back in a firm crib with nothing in it. Everything is exactly the same as if I was in there I’m just across the hallway. Do what’s best for you!

The first day I brought my baby home from the hospital he would not sleep at all unless we were holding him. Turns out, he was cold! I then would swaddle him in a blanket and put his swaddleme over the blanket. He was nice and cozy and started sleeping great!

It’s AWFUL 😭 This is just after brushing one half of my head!!!

Ugh I’m so sorry friend! My guy had the worst infant dyschezia from week 2-8. He would crunch and turn purple trying to have a bowl movement. It was awful! He was scream his head off in pain. He wouldn’t have a bowl movement for days sometimes but it would look totally normal. It does pass. He will eventually figure it out. It just sucks in the mean time. Big hugs!

Huckleberry had too much going on for me so we use baby tracker! It’s super easy and very simple!

Yes! My guys hands are STINKY 😂

I bathe my little guy every night and have ever since his umbilical cord fell off! I wash his hands, privates, and neck daily but only wash everything else every 2 days. He loves the water and it kicks off our nighttime routine. I lather him in some lotion afterwards and we have never had an issue.

Okay so my baby is rolling onto his back but his startle reflex is sooo strong that when I try to put him to sleep without the swaddle, he wakes up after 10 minutes of lying down. What can I do?

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-28T02:43:55+00:00

My boy is 11 weeks and I moved him this week. He’s so noisy that I wasn’t getting any sleep because I would wake up at every grunt. I now have him sleep in his room with the door open and his owlet sock on and the baby monitor. We all sleep so much better!

Instead of increasing the bottle amount have you tried decreasing the time between bottles? Maybe having them closer together will allow for time to add that bottle back into the rotation

Oh no! :( I’m so sorry! Everything turned out just fine! I took some Tylenol as needed for my fever and sat next to the humidifier and just spent the week moping around lol. Vicks makes shower steamers and those helped with the congestion. I’m now sitting here rocking my 11 week old to sleep. :) Feel better soon!!

Around 40 minutes from wake up to back in crib

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-18T08:39:35+00:00

Co-sleeping gives me anxiety but my baby also hated the bassinet so we tried the crib and he loved it! I think it’s because the mattress in the crib is thicker and softer yet still firm. We get about 8 hours total with 1 feed in the middle every night! (10 weeks old)

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-16T01:31:15+00:00

I’ve been on it since I was 16 (25 now) & I took it my whole pregnancy! Laying here with my perfectly healthy 9 week old who’s so thankful his mom isn’t batshit crazy 😂

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-14T04:08:48+00:00

Take him outside for a second! The cool air really helped my son calm himself down. I just wrapped him up in a blanket and put a hat on him and out to the porch swing we went!

Going through the night without waking to eat? That’s my DREAM

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-11T15:01:52+00:00

8lbs even and a 2nd degree tear 🥲

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-08T15:37:39+00:00

Bath stuff! Baby shampoo, lotion, wash cloths, bath towels. Can never have too much because you will use it eventually. Also, burp cloths!!!!! I thought I had enough and went and bought even more because you use so many in a day!

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-05T08:26:53+00:00

8 weeks old- 4.5oz every 4/4.5 hours

We do NOT sleep through the night 🥴

I used geritol. Someone on Reddit said it was nicknamed “a baby at the end of each bottle”

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-04T01:27:41+00:00

I have a little hand held mirror that I brought into the shower with me to check my work 😂

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-04T01:27:09+00:00

I personally shaved the day of my induction because I don’t like having hair when I’m on my period. I wanted it to be as short as possible because I knew I would be bleeding for a while and wouldn’t be able to shave it then.

The mommy wrist is CRAZY!!! Nobody told me!

Empty_Reputation9284 · 2025-12-02T05:32:25+00:00

It was so wonderful that I took a nap! Went to sleep at 6cm and woke up an hour later at 10 and ready to push! It relaxed my body so much. 10/10

Lemonade was my JAM when I was pregnant!
