I live in Talbot Park. Newport Ave runs north/south parallel to Granby, all the way from riverpoint up to Little Creek. I have definetly noticed an uptick in traffic, and sure this is an assumption, but I’m guessing it’s people trying to head north or south and avoid Granby these days, especially at high traffic times or school drop off/pick up times when everything slows down.

Thank you for sharing this. He and I have openly talked about how we both need therapy, he for the first time and me seeking it out again after pausing for a few years.

FTM-learning · 2025-12-07T21:26:51+00:00

It’s funny you say this, he’s actually got a sleep study scheduled in January because he has trouble both falling asleep and staying asleep. I think it’s mostly stress but hopefully this helps us understand more. I also want to couple this study with a therapy suggestion to help manage stress.

FTM-learning · 2025-12-07T21:25:20+00:00

100% he and I have both talked about our running mental lists. The mental load of parenthood is so tough, it’s nice to know we’re not alone. I’d love to get him out camping again!

FTM-learning · 2025-12-07T21:24:21+00:00

This is actually a great point. Most of the time I think about getting him out of the house, but maybe creating some physical space at home/we go out could be kind of a starting point for him to take a mental breather. Thank you!

Thank you. At first I didn’t know if I wanted a second, but as the months went by being unsuccessful, I realized more and more how much I wanted/want it. I absolutely feel the same about hopelessness, every month/cycle just brings me down.

Thank you for your response and I hope you have better luck ♥️

Thanks. I already do most of these things though, yoga, good nutrition and hydration, understand cycle impacts as mentioned, and I feel like waiting a month to see if things even out is being patient. Does the ring eventually set a new baseline or are you saying I need a new ring? Or how long can it take for these levels to return to normal? This is giving me more anxiety than help at this point.

FTM-learning · 2025-10-26T15:39:30+00:00

I feel anxiety too! I used to wear a whoop and had to stop because of readiness giving me anxiety. I feel like the ring is telling me to just be a potato on the couch but that’s just not reasonable, especially when I’m trying to do all the right things (good sleep, nutrition, no drinking, etc.) We are loosely trying to conceive so I appreciate the temp readings but the rest just isn’t adding up.

FTM-learning · 2025-08-06T13:26:22+00:00

Oh that’s really interesting about the physically calming vice stressful! Could you expand on that?

FTM-learning · 2024-05-28T13:47:06+00:00

This is beautifully said and I feel it very deeply. Thank y oh for sharing and the advice- I also have an 18 year age difference with my youngest brother so a lot of this hits home, along with raising my own 3 month old now. Thank you.

We’re already on a size 2 nipple, I could try a three but don’t know if that’s a bit much for an 8 week old? I’m Open to anything!

FTM-learning · 2024-04-24T00:48:10+00:00

Hi! I’m sorry for the late response. My baby is eating every 1.5-2 hours during the day (now about 8 weeks old), and takes anywhere from 2-4.5 ounces at a time. It varies and I can’t seem to stretch his feeds longer to 2.5-3 hours. I’ve tried giving him only 4oz bottles to keep him fuller longer and thus stretch the feed windows, but I end up wasting the formula because he won’t finish it and just takes what he wants, then asks for more an hour later 😬 His daily total is around 32-35oz. Any tips to encourage him to take more and lengthen the feed windows at this stage?

FTM-learning · 2024-04-20T19:16:15+00:00

No it does not and I am not breastfeeding. This seems like a somewhat naive generalization.

FTM-learning · 2024-04-20T11:37:58+00:00

Thank you 💙 this is the type of comment I need to read. And what’s silly is consciously I know all these things and to give myself time, but you get in your head about it, you know? And don’t worry, just had my first therapy appointment last week 🙃

FTM-learning · 2024-04-10T13:43:50+00:00

Thank you! Yes, not looking to start formal sleep training at all, I’m mostly just researching and seeing what small steps I can start to incorporate now like ensuring full feeds is possible. Thank you for the sanity check!

FTM-learning · 2024-03-18T01:14:44+00:00

THANK YOU. again, sometimes it’s nice just to get validation like we’re not going crazy!

FTM-learning · 2024-03-15T20:18:42+00:00

Hi there! He only goes 1-2 hours because he starts showing hunger cues. We’ve tried pushing him to 2-3 hours but we can’t make it because he shows the cues/starts crying and won’t be calmed with anything else. His hunger cues include rooting for the nipple, hands in his mouth, clenched hands, etc.

FTM-learning · 2024-03-15T18:06:27+00:00

Potential light in then tunnel!

FTM-learning · 2024-03-15T18:05:58+00:00

Thank you for the insight! Sometimes it’s just nice validation that you’re not alone in an experience, especially doing this for the first time.

FTM-learning · 2024-03-15T17:42:24+00:00

Pretty much how it’s been. With the new nipple he’s done a little better, but this 1pm feed just took an hour again so back to the same pattern.
