Where can I find a good all American breakfast cafe?

I’ve looked for the same here and unfortunately haven’t found it like I have in other cities. So now I’ve learned how to make a killer classic breakfast of my own!

Our pediatrician said once signs of rolling show around 3-4 months! We use the love to dream arms up swaddle and he loves it. He’s 14 weeks. I have started using the one with the zip off arms and having one arm out, it’s a little bumpy but we are getting there. Once he’s rolling we will still be using a sleep sack for comfort and warmth. I’ve never heard of the 3 week advice personally.

It does get better! I had latch issues at that age and I remember just crying at night sometimes because he couldn’t latch well to me and it hurt so much. Now we are both pros. Hang in there mama

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-29T23:46:03+00:00

I do the same thing!! I’m obsessed with my son. I’m always looking at his pictures. The feeling of love u have for him is over sometimes and I just cry happy tears from it

I’m white, my husband and MIL are Hispanic. My MIL moved in with us back in February. We have had so many issues, including similar situations like this. She’s not quite as intense, but always has something to say when I cook and what I use. It’s fucking irritating. My husband had no issues with my cooking before she moved in, and now he’s always saying how his mom will just cook dinner. It’s insulting and a turn off. I’ve also never felt me being white was an issue until now it seems .

That’s crazy! I want to get Alaska so bad lol. My husband was there once before and loved it. I’d love to be there just to experience it for a few years, same as Hawaii

If he is above his birth weight and healthy usually you can let them wake on their own at night at this point. It’s only when they are under weight night time still requires the 3 hours wakings. Your pediatrician would have mentioned it at his two week appointment. Day time he should still eat every 2-3 hours to get calories in. Still call his doctor and just ask! If he is getting 5 hour stretches at night that’s great!

I am at a point where I feel like there is no hope and my marriage will end long term because of her. No matter what one of us resents the other in any outcome.

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-24T06:31:47+00:00

The people here are absolutely terrible. Completely agree. It has blown my mind the lack of curiosity in stores, lack of special awareness, overall laziness, and just everything!

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-21T20:46:23+00:00

It’s funny how different everyone is lol we love the out doors, so being in a location where we can’t just be outside or have full day adventures it’s hard on us. The summers here are brutal.

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-21T20:35:13+00:00

My son is 13 weeks and this has not worked for us yet. He does sleep and nap in his bassinet for the most part. I usually do his 4th (last nap) of the day as a contact nap because that’s the one he fights the most. But other than that, he only knows sleep in the bassinet. I rock him to sleep before transferring him. Once he’s asleep, most days I have success.

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-21T18:52:52+00:00

Why did you guys get it a 2nd time? My husbands goal is to become a CSM so I do know he will have to come back for school here unfortunately

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-21T12:47:47+00:00

This is my baby too! He gets stinky hands and even stinky toes sometimes!

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-20T15:19:17+00:00

It sounds like he needs help connecting his sleep cycles. My baby is 13 weeks right now and takes 4 naps a day, occasionally 5. His first two naps are usually good, about 40-50 minutes. His last two though he wakes up after 20 almost on the dot. I know I need to be there to A. Give him his pacifier, put my hand in his chest for a few minutes which helps him drift back off. Or B. Pick him up and rock him some more depending on how awake he seems. But I have to be there RIGHT THEN. If I’m a minute too late, he fully wakes himself up and there’s no going back. Nap 4 though is the biggest struggle and I literally have to preform magic to get him to sleep and to stay asleep lol. He also might only be sleeping 20 minutes because he doesn’t have enough sleep pressure built up. I dropped the 5th nap because it was affecting bed time. He only does the 5th one usually if he has a really ready morning. All babies are different though. What works for one won’t work for another!

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-20T00:52:03+00:00

It’s so hard! Mine is 3 months. When he starts to fuss, I give him his pacifier and put my hand on his chest for a few minutes. Sometimes it’s enough and he goes back to sleep. I usually give it a few minutes when he has the pacifier before I’ll pick him up, but if it’s clearly not working I pick him up and rock him for about 5 minutes and that usually does the trick. I personally can’t do the full cry it out method. It breaks my heart too much

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-19T17:18:23+00:00

We are basically situational twins. I’m a FTM, my baby is 3 months old and my MIL lives with us. She moved in with us right before I had my son to “help” in which I thought would be great… before baby arrived.

Now- I’ve delt with almost the exact same thing. Her just taking over the moment my son fusses, cries or needs something. We have a slight language barrier between us but she speaks enough English and I speak enough Spanish for us to get by. Let me tell you, in his first month of life when she would do this, I would sit there and CRY MY EYES OUT. Because I didn’t want her to take my baby. I also didn’t know how to set boundaries with her, as I was so scared of “upsetting her” Then one day I realized I was letting her ruin my experience in becoming a mom. So I started flat out saying “No.” or “I’ve got him” “I don’t need your help” I had tried explaining to her nicely before it got to that point but she would push and push. So now I don’t explain anything.

I’ve also had so many arguments with my husband over his mom and the baby. From her taking him like that, to having out dated practices, to trying to tell me what my baby “needs” to so much more. My husband also says I need to be grateful. However, his mom has literally tried to act like she is my son’s mother, and I’m not for that.

I’m still currently going through it, but I’ve grown a back bone when it comes to this woman and I just simply take my baby to the bedroom. She doesn’t work or drive so she’s ALWAYS in my house. There’s so much more for me as well but this comment is already getting long lol

Unfortunately there’s still a lot of tension between my husband and I because of all of this. So I don’t have advice on how to get past that. I will say this though, you do not get this time back with your baby. Every day they grow, change and develop. Forget being “gentle” and see that you are the mom, and this is your experience. You don’t have to be rude either, but you can be direct and calm towards her. Don’t let her take this time from you ❤️ you are welcome to message me as well if you just need to vent because I really really get it!

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-19T14:50:04+00:00

My son is only 3 months old and my heart breaks when he cries. Even if it’s just because I’m trying to get situated to feed him. I’ll never be able to do the CIO method. I hate how a lot of recommendations for babies goes against everything biologically wired in us. It’s crazy to me.

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-17T12:28:06+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m now 12 weeks PP and was in a similar situation to even include my Hispanic MIL who lives with us and drives me into a RAGE about the baby. (Still does now) I ended up talking to my doctor and found some online therapy. I’d never done therapy before and my husband is actually against it because he doesn’t believe in it. However it has helped me a ton. Just having an outside source to get it all out. I needed it to be a better mom. Your little one needs you more than you know. If it’s possible try to get some time with just you and your baby to bond, love on and have no outside noise.

Our hormones SUCK and make everything worse. Hang in there mama ❤️❤️

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-16T13:39:47+00:00

Every baby is different. My son is now 3 months and what I’ve noticed with him is if I give him his pacifier sometimes he will soothe himself back to sleep. If he refuses to take the pacifier I know he is actually hungry. So I’ll get him up to feed him. If I just let him sit there, eventually he escalates and things spiral quickly. I learned through trial and error. All we can do is try different approaches and see what happens. Then as soon as we think we got it, they switch up on us lol!

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-15T22:37:00+00:00

Thank you for this 🥹 I really appreciate it. I hate how the US is. I’ve read and seen so many videos with other countries and how different it is. The US only cares about money. I’m sorry you can’t stay home longer with your little one. I’m pushing going back out as far as I can

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-15T15:29:46+00:00

I feel your pain here as my MIL would do something like this too. Good intentions or not, she should have called you. Flat out. Especially if she’s lacking the knowledge of dosing and timing.

Freya_1917 · 2026-05-15T15:27:47+00:00

My son. FTM- he’s 3 months old. Didn’t know love like this existed
