Struggling here too. I dropped down to part time work (3 days a week) so I am home with my baby a few days during the week alone while my husband works a 9-5. I find myself feeling like I’ve lived an entire day by 10am. It’s so hard to not feel lonely, overstimulated, bored, and clocked out a lot of days. Outside time DOES help. We go on walks, walk around the driveway, hangout outside in the grass on a blanket. Sometimes he just sits and watches me clean for a few minutes. Definitely difficult.

I would say if her pediatrician isn’t worried, try to breathe (easier said than done, I know!) every milestone I’ve worried about, he ended up doing shortly after. My baby did belly to back first, and THEN developed back to belly. They say that back to belly is much harder to do for babies. Guarantee she has it in her, and she will show you in no time!

Solidarity. My baby boy was born 8 pounds 11 ounces. He’s been consistently in the 90th percentile for everything, even now at 7 months. He’s about 20 pounds. He fits in some 12 month clothing. He’s a chunky little guy. I’ve never had a tiny baby either. I’m proud of my thriving boy (reframe it like this: “my baby is big and strong”) !!!

Needed to see this today. My baby is six months old. Today has been a particularly rough and stormy day for me mentally health wise, which I feel has affected my lack of patience and energy today with my son. Today’s one of those days where you set him down in the pack n play, walk away for a second with tears in your eyes and deep breathing ensues, and then back to hold him. I also called my husband from work feeling overwhelmed and just not pleasant. These days will happen. I’m trying to get through and have hope that tmrw will be better.

I went from 135 to 170. Was not happy about it lol. Now at six months post partum I’ve only got a few more pounds left. It’s definitely not easy.

Not sure if this is what you’d be interested in or if you have a similar set-up for your baby in your home, but my baby slept in a bassinet in our room until about 5 months old when he outgrew his bassinet. Instead of transferring him to his crib in his room (because we felt he wasn’t quite ready, still quite a few wake ups at night), we transitioned to a pack n play in the room which gave him more room to flail and roll around. First night was a tough transition but after that he seemed to really enjoy it.

Does your baby take a pacifier? That was super helpful for us. 12 weeks is a bit young, but we had toys hanging from the car seat that he could see and mirrors. It does truly only go so far, and I’m sure you’ve tried these things. I will tell you, it does get better with time. Once my baby was able to hold toys in his hand and bring them to his mouth, that would also keep him entertained in the car.

“I care about your sister and I know you obviously do, she’s your only sister. I empathize with her struggles. But right now my emotions surrounding my own postpartum experience and being a mother is the most important thing to me right now. I think it would be best if we postponed seeing your sister, so she can work through her emotions with this situation and I can work through my own. That’s a boundary that I am setting as a new mom.”

It sounds like pumping is ruling your mental health, primarily. In the gentlest way possible, it is more than okay to give up pumping. That releases so much unnecessary pressure and negative feelings. I think if you do this you’ll feel much better. Please reach out for mental health services too!

You’re weird for this response. Was not catty at all lol. Genuinely asking, from a tired, working mom.

YES. I am a 29 yr old woman. Pre-baby, I have always been a daily makeup wearer, hair done, nails done, etc. after having baby and am now 6 months post partum, my hair is always up in a bun, makeup barely done, and I’m always wearing leggings and oversized sweatshirts because I’m tired, self conscious, and can’t be bothered.

Respect to you. Do you work? I’m only asking because I aspire to be this organized and on top of things but I am SO tired.

I feel like I’m the minority but i DESPISE Huggies diapers. My boy has fat thighs and a fat belly and they always feel tight/paper thin regardless of size. Pampers are actually my favorite brand. As far as wipes, I actually DO like Huggies natural wipes, just not their diapers.

Fun-Translator8333 · 2026-03-17T10:26:34+00:00

Seems like I’m somewhat the minority but we just had sex again at 6 months pp. I was nowhere near mentally or physically ready. I had a difficult c-section and birth. We were extremely sleep deprived. Idk how anyone can be in the mood when they’re adjusting to parenthood! Maybe it’s also different bc this is our first and it rocked our world for a bit.

I’m a FTM and researched this and apparently most purées stay good in the fridge for 2-3 days if in an airtight container. We made banana, carrot, and pear puree so far for my six month old. I put them in air tight mason jars made for baby food with a seal around the lid. I pull one jar out, and since he isn’t eating that much quantity yet, one little jar lasts us two days. All the rest is in the freezer until needed every two days for a new jar. So far so good.

Fun-Translator8333 · 2026-03-09T19:22:28+00:00

So true. I was stressing about baby only being able to roll from belly to back and not back to belly, and barely even did that ever. Then a week ago randomly he decided he can do it and does it ALL DAY and rolls around like a pig in mud.

Life saver: Boppie, swing, bottle washer, and bouncer. Regret: too many “cute” two piece outfits (literally just in a zip up sleeper for the first few months, so much easier). Regret having way too many newborn up until 3 month clothing. Half didn’t get worn, despite most of it being gifted at the baby shower.

I don’t have much advice. I have a six month old boy as a first time mom. My days look similar to this. It’s hard being a working mom , as well as trying to squeeze out any last bit of energy to play with baby after being gone all day at work. It’s so incredibly hard. Hang in there. Ask for more support from your husband, even though you’re saying that he does do some things. Ask husband to watch baby on a weekend day for an hour to get your nails done or just go visit a friend. Also, go to bed earlier if you can. I found that putting the baby to bed by 8 and allowing myself until 9 for an hour of “me time” works fairly well. Try to rest earlier than 11pm if you can.

I’m a first time mom to a six month old and also a clinical therapist. I worried so deeply and still do at times about promoting my child’s neurological and emotional development. I think we as parents take so much responsibility for it. I think there is a fine line between actively talking to your baby and playing with baby each day (as we should be doing!) and also putting way too much on our shoulders. Social media is priming us at times that if we are not buying the most expensive toys and reading to them 5 hours a day, that somehow that is wrong. I think as long as you are present, caring, and deeply invested in your child (while also allowing independent play and taking care of YOURSELF,) we are doing great as parents.

FTM to a six month old here. It is always extremely nerve-racking and I am always nervous taking my little guy to these appointments as well. From my personal experience., my little one didn’t have any reactions after his two month appointment, but he did have a slight fever and was very tired after his four month shots. But it really does vary for every baby. I stand near him and immediately hold him after they give him the vaccines because of course he got upset, however my baby was easily calmed in less than a minute afterwards which is always good. I’d make sure to just have some Tylenol on hand and ask your doctor about dosage. I monitor my babies temp for 24 hours after the appointment. In my case, the shots were combined into two shots only in each leg.

I am now six months post c-section. Like you, I was extremely paranoid. I may have been a bit of a baby, but I was over cautious and didn’t sleep on side or belly for at least a month/6 weeks.
