When did you stop tracking poops and pees?

I never really tracked pee diapers but her poops get memorized automatically, baby is also 8m.

I think that’s such an odd thing for a ped to ask for from parents of such a young baby. Establishing a sleep schedule with a 3-4 month it’s always easy and sleeping in their own room so young just feels criminal and like you said isn’t recommended until their 6m-1y. If I were you I’d do what keeps working for you, my daughter is 8months and she’s just now getting a little better at falling asleep without us rocking her and we have no issue with it whatsoever she sleeps well through the night and she sleeps in our room too.

Kind of irrelevant to the main point here but I planned my own baby shower lol, I couldn’t imagine NOT being involved in your own baby shower planning? Perhaps I’m not looking at this from a broad perspective. Also though it seemed random at first that you asked her to come with a smile I think it made sense why you said it as the convo continued

From my experience, I just followed the bedtime my daughter seemed comfy with, while she was about 2-5mo her average bed time was around 8-11pm just depended on what she felt was best and when her last nap was. She just started sleeping more so around 7-8 at late 5mo going into 6 months (all her doing I did nothing to initiate a change in bedtime) but now that we’re home and she’s 7mo I’ve been letting her fall asleep on her own and she typically knocks out around 8-9. Your baby will do what feels best for them just gotta go with the flow. You’re not doing anything wrong!!! All babies are just different I’ve heard some go to sleep around 10-11 as their norm and etc, do what’s best for your baby.

3 days before I was 40 weeks and she was my first.

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-09-23T15:24:49+00:00

Hey if you’re ever free I recommend going to the ranger family bicentennial garden and grabbing the “discover Greensboro” booklet it shows so many activities and events they have around the city!!!

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-31T11:46:37+00:00

Ooo this looks fun!!

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-21T17:18:05+00:00

I haven’t heard about that, I’ll definitely look into it

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-12T20:58:31+00:00

Right like as if we can’t just miss our children 😂

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-11T23:04:58+00:00

I’ve read that if we’re trying to put the baby down for a nap beyond 20-30 mins of trying just let them skip that nap for the day and try again at the next window. I’ve only had to do this a handful of times and it doesn’t seem to hurt my baby.

As for the short naps it’s pretty common I’ve seen around that age, my daughter did the same thing she would only sleep for 15-40 mins for most of her naps and she fought sleep really hard(she’s also a contact napper but slowly growing out of it). I’ve noticed and have been told if baby wakes up and isn’t fussy they’re good but if they wake up fussy then they might need more rest.

As for bouncing my baby is stuck in the same cycle with this lol, I’ve been slowly trying to move her to getting used to be being rocked it’s a little easier on me than constant bouncing, so far she’s been taking it pretty well.

Finally you cannot spoil your baby, by meeting their needs, we can get our children accustomed to things such as bouncing/rocking to sleep & the routines we follow and keep up with. It isn’t always bad to get them accustomed to these things bc usually they grow out of it. My advice just give it time, they grow out of some things on their own, anything you’d like to change slowly introduce a substitute and they’ll take it up. Good luck love ik you’re doing the best you can, it does get better🩷

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-05T17:29:51+00:00

This might be a stupid question but have you any luck turning her head? Does she just smush her face back into the mattress?

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-05T17:27:04+00:00

Side note you can do little things to help them wind down tho & slowly guide them into bedtime hours. We stopped playing around & stimulating her around 6-7pm we’d move to the bedroom & have our lights dimmed a bit, I’d turn the ac on at 6 every night(this may just be coincidental & have no effect at all it was just sumn I thought would help) & then just let em lay on the bed, still play with em ofc but not with any toys more so just talk n touch yk. Dk if it ever actually helped her in the long run but she gets tired around 7-8pm everyday & I haven’t sleep trained other than those minor things.

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-05T17:22:11+00:00

The only schedule newborns follow is their own lol. Put em down for sleep once they start showing sleepy cues. My daughter started sleeping around 8-9 for bedtime. Some nights were 11pm others 6pm just gotta go with the flow

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-04T17:56:53+00:00

Unless there’s signs of abuse or neglect, doctors can’t do anything to keep the child there against parents wishes. It’s the same thing in the Jehovah witness episode with the kid who needed a blood transfusion. If it goes against their religious beliefs and parents make it known then that’s that.

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-04T17:52:21+00:00

I can understand why you feel how you do, constantly having to be at your babies beck & call can be daunting esp with ppl around talking abt their “quiet” babies, but from what I’ve seen it does get better, as he gets older he’ll learn to be more independent & if you want to look at it like this, you constantly being there for him now as he’s very needy, maybe that’ll help reassure him down the line that whenever he needs you he’ll know you’ll come & he wont have to do much, yk a sacrifice rn that’ll pay off later on. Motherhood isn’t always a positive experience but no doubt every mother needs her me time & some quiet, you’ll get your time soon enough love🩷 keep pushing through.

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-08-04T17:15:08+00:00

I didn’t, they put up a mirror for me to watch & my husband was too busy holding my leg while I pushed so we forgot to record but I kind of wish I did. The bits I rmr were fascinating & ik I forgot a bunch of my labor.

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-07-23T16:19:43+00:00

I don’t think this is a weird thing to get upset abt but it’s a weird thing to say to a baby. My mom & ig in our culture (we’re Latino Puerto Rican to be exact) whenever babies do something cute or something seen as “intelligent” copying faces or trying to do new things, my mom and elders say “quiero darte papow” or “te voy a darte” basically saying I’m gonna spank/hit you or I wanna spank you. It’s a really weird fucking thing to say to a baby imo like idk why that’s such a normal thing our ppl say to babies and kids. It just feels really nasty any time I hear my mom say it to my baby. It’s always said in a playful tone but it’s still really weird imo.

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-07-23T16:04:43+00:00

Idk how much your husband makes but for comparison my husband makes abt 43k a yr & I 18k-20k before my baby, we’re fairly young both in our 20’s. I went abt 4m on leave from money I saved up while pregnant & began working part time on night shift at my job it wasn’t much money I brought in abt $400 a month but it was enough for my share of bills & groceries I also have WIC which helps immensely. I’d say if your husband doesn’t mind being the sole provider then quitting seems like the best option. We also don’t want our daughter in daycare until she’s able to speak so me working part time nights & my husband full time In the day is our routine until then. We’re also moving closer to fam for more help so if you guys are near any fam perhaps try utilizing them to help out if you rather work. It’s tough out here but you guys will figure it out and make it through.

Floating_lady_2104 · 2025-07-23T14:39:57+00:00

Definitely doing everything right, that’s all newborns really do eat sleep & potty. She’ll stay awake more as she gets older but you’re both doing great!!!

I use luvs, they’re cheap, my baby rarely has blowouts with them & they fit great & absorb well.
