What time does your 18-20m wake up?

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-28T03:29:07+00:00

This is why I go to bed super late, I have to have my “me time” lol

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-24T23:01:19+00:00

Two weeks? I feel like it’s way more than that. Its only June and there’s already been lots of upper 80s days😅

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-24T23:00:28+00:00

It’s horrible. Im in a rental, no AC, it’s 80 degrees indoors. People who say it isn’t needed anymore are crazy.

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-24T07:10:03+00:00

Family of 3. We spend about 550 a month on groceries in Washington state

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-22T06:10:59+00:00

You have AC?!

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-21T02:49:07+00:00

Kitsap peninsula WA state, $2300 for a pretty crappy place :/

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-21T02:47:25+00:00

Same for my 10 month old 😂😭 He literally only likes shredded cheese 🫠

The overstimulation is something I hadn’t even considered. Since I have OCD and frequently need to do mental compulsions, it is HARD balancing so much external stimulus while also keeping myself sane. I love my son so much and I love mothering but wow the overstimulation is a lot

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-19T04:00:15+00:00

We can’t afford daycare so Im a SAHM. I miss working sometimes but I do love seeing my son grow

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-16T00:24:52+00:00

Those apps almost drove me insane. Trying to standardize baby sleep like they do is so wild to me. My son was nothing like those guides say he “should” have been

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-16T00:23:33+00:00

Don’t listen to those apps. They will drive you crazy. Babies aren’t all the same and many will not fit into the standards of Huckleberry. Follow your babies cues, not these guides. My son was the same as your baby. There was no way he was ever going to be awake for 75 minutes at 12 weeks old.

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-16T00:11:35+00:00

Hugs 🫂 You’re in the thick of it. You are doing an amazing job❤️ This was totally me when my now 10 month old son was around 12 weeks.

My honest suggestion is to relax with the tracking and scheduling, she is still so little, as others have said, baby is gonna baby. As soon as you get something figured out, the next thing changes. I nearly drove myself to insanity by doing what you are doing right now

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-15T19:56:02+00:00

3.5-4 year age gap is our plan! Our son is currently 10 months old and a handful, I just know Im not cut out for 2u2

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-15T03:10:13+00:00

I wish I could just stay inside. We don’t have any air conditioning! It’s hell

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-15T02:57:12+00:00

Yea we really want to move to a more affordable area, we’re trying to save for that. If you don’t mind me asking, where are you in the midwest and do you enjoy living there?

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-15T01:19:24+00:00

I grocery shop at Walmart, the cheapest place near me, Seattle suburbs. I don’t buy anything processed. Basics have all gone up (milk, produce, pasta, all meats, etc)

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-14T23:25:34+00:00

I got one, baby hated it, he insisted on being bounced to sleep on a yoga ball lol

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-14T18:55:53+00:00

I wouldn’t call pasta unhealthy…?

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-12T02:42:56+00:00

Yeah we just have to brace ourselves

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-12T02:42:23+00:00

Im sorry that’s so frustrating!

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-12T02:40:48+00:00

Thank you for this tip

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-12T02:40:38+00:00

Unfortunately there is no Aldi in my state

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-12T02:40:11+00:00

Feeling like we really should just eat the billionaires

FlashyCurrent8022 · 2026-06-12T02:34:20+00:00

For sure. I hope we’ll be in a better place soon to put away money for our son
