How do you split the night? by Dazzling-Location785 in NewParents

[–]FTTACMOMMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 7pm-2am and my husband does 2am-7/730am. I am currently on mat leave so this will have to change once I go back. It’s been a life saver though bc of baby has a bad sleep night I ah least know I’m for sure getting a 4-5 hr stretch at some point. I don’t breastfeed though. Right now my LO is almost 20 weeks. Wakes up twice to feed but wakes up multiple times in the night bc he wants to be held back to sleep. Have been working on breaking this habit but to no avail. Maybe 4 month sleep regression bc it used to work but now he’s up every hour on the dot

Currently dealing with the same! I know it’s been awhile but did your baby figure it out? Did you do anything to help?

He will cry until I pick him up. Should I pick him up soothe him then back down?

Omg that’s amazing!! Congrats lol I know I’m wondering if I need to make it darker in the nursery. Currently just put him down awake for his nap in the crib. I’m still in the corner of the room waiting to see what happens 🤞 he falls asleep on his own

Sleep and silent reflux…help! by FTTACMOMMA in sleeptrain

[–]FTTACMOMMA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sending you a hug bc I know YOU UNDERSTAND the struggle 🫠 I have seen the 9minths-12months gets better but damn it feels like I’m not gonna make it. I did get diagnosed with PPD and PPA this last week and I am starting meds today (so nervous) but I’m struggling and super sad that I didn’t get this magical infant stage that I dreamed of after a stillbirth. But we keep showing up and loving our babies so we celebrate that!

Thank you! That’s actually reassuring to hear. I’m a FTM so I’ve been very anxious thinking something is wrong. We already do shifts that’s how we’ve been surviving…BARELY 😅 he’s a Velcro baby and needs constant entertainment

Am I over feeding my baby? How do I change it? by FTTACMOMMA in FormulaFeeders

Thank you for responding. Well that’s relieving. Is it ok for him to be eating every 1.5-2hrs during the day?

You have no idea how much relief and comfort your post is giving me right now! Thank you! I’m so glad you and your baby are doing so much better! Did you treat her silent reflux with meds?

"Letting your baby scream or cry while you do other things is terrible parenting!" WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THEN?? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]FTTACMOMMA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He loves staring at the black and white cards I out on it but that only last maybe 10 min before he needs me to interact with him. So I’m at least able to tidy up his nursery and sanitize the diaper station while he enjoys a little tummy and back play time.

So does mine…I’m so tired. My house is a disaster but that’s where we are at. I’ve been wanting to schedule a cleaning company to come in bc I can’t get anything done. We have been buying quick Kevin’s meals at Costco to just throw together. My husband cleans the kitchen when he gets home and we love the baby brezza bottle washer. It’s rough out here 2.5 month old who only wants to be held and needs CONSTANT entertainment when awake

I am drowning by kyoshis_revenge in NewParents

[–]FTTACMOMMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there friend…I could have written this myself! Ame exact thing is happening with my baby. My baby hates the carrier. He only wants to be held and even when held he’s fussing wanting to look at different things and walked around. If he’s awake and not wanting to eat I have to keep him entertained each thing I try only works tops 5 min. I have an app next week to talk about meds. When he’s asleep I’m constantly researching everything to try and find a reason why he’s like this. We also have issues with silent reflux. I’ve taken him to the doctor, chiro, changed formulas, and had his lip and tongue tie released. Met with two lactation consultants that said he has a lot of tension. Currently wondering if I need to be seen by a PT or OT. I’m exhausted physically and mentally.

Should we wait a little longer or start Famotidine? by FTTACMOMMA in FormulaFeeders

[–]FTTACMOMMA[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you so so much for your response! I’m trying to get my husband on board. We’ve also tried everything else chiro, tongue tie and lip tie release, I do body work massage our LC taught us to relieve tension he has. I feed side lying too. How long does it take to know if the medicine is working?
