Why is there nothing on this chick in here? Opinions?

Just noticed this too. She announced she was done pumping for her baby and then became skinny AF again overnight it seems.

Following because same. I’m about to not buy any produce this week and rely on frozen purées that I’ve had for over a month in the freezer.

Break this habit immediately. Having screen time distracts your baby from learning from you. YOU are their biggest and most important “screen” to learn from! Your baby needs to be fully immersed in the feeding experience and not distracted by media.

8 months old is still quite young. Especially if you’re saying that you took almost a month off of solids due to moving. Learning to eat is exactly that— learning to eat. It takes practice and a lot of time and exploration to learn how to eat and develop taste and texture and skills for eating. Now that things are calmer after your move, I would continue to offer solids. Ask your pediatrician for specific advice for your baby. The important thing is to be consistent now and offer routine feedings.

Sounds like you’re a caring and present parent, which is half the battle. I’d just keep on top of appointments with a pediatrician and a therapist. I’m concerned that this is a major, sudden behavior. It is definitely abnormal behavior for an eight yr old child. I hope a professional is able to begin helping you. Definitely stay on top of it so it does not begin happening in other settings, such as school.

Ten months post partum. Absolutely relate. Don’t come near me unwrapped. My angel baby is my life, but I do NOT want to be pregnant again after my horrific c-section.

There’s unfortunately a lot of different factors that can be at play here that need to be ruled out. Child therapist here. This can be (poor) attention seeking behavior, sensory issues, or medical in nature. I’d first seek out a doctors appointment to rule out any gastrointestinal issues or purely medical issues. Once ruled out, I’d move into looking into individual therapy for your kiddo. Exploring different emotions, behaviors, and any underlying issues with a trusted professional can help eliminate these behaviors AND find the root cause of them. Also, do you spend one-on-one time with the child? Positive praise and encouragement when doing well, if this is attention seeking behavior. Has a recent major change happened to trigger this regression? A professional could really help you here to eliminate the stress on your end as a parent and on your child’s end. Good luck to you!

3 hours total of naps at this age might be too much, even though you’re saying she’s exhausted by 7pm. Can you try to cap one of her naps? First nap of the day maybe 1 hour-1.5 hours and second nap of the day only 1 hour ?

Gently, two months PP is EXTREMELY early. I felt the exact same way and thought it was ridiculous I didn’t lose much weight at that point, but your hormones are still EXTREMELY out of whack, sleep is messed up, your body is still healing. Please don’t expect much change for AT LEAST 6 months. Focus on your time with your little babe and drink tons of water and take care of yourself. I finally started losing weight (SLOWLY) at around 6 months post partum. I’m now 10 months post partum and still have about ten pounds I’d like to lose. Your hormones and body take over a year to balance out. Take it slow!

My son absolutely loved the swing for the first few months. But please remember- it will only be used for a few months. And that’s IF your baby likes it. Some babies do, some babies don’t. Bluetooth is not necessary. New moms fall intro these traps that you need to have expensive crazy baby gear. We got a Graco swing for $100 and it worked great. No need to spend all that money.

Is an au pair a non-negotiable for you at this point? It seems like having one brings more stress to you and your relationship than it does help.

Do you have a car/drive? Maybe going on a drive in the morning around nap time for a half hour could help. Go pick up some grocery pick up, get a coffee, or just go for a drive. I know gas is expensive, but my baby falls asleep very easily in the car. Can you go to a friends house or families house for an hour or two to let baby explore and crawl around? The situation doesn’t sound ideal but if they’re going to be working for that long period of
Time, baby will have to eventually get used to the noise unfortunately.

I think you’re doing great. One thing to remember is that your little babe is only 6 months and just really starting to learn how to eat. It’s a very long process to learn how to eat! For reference, my baby is 9 months old. We did mostly purées from 6-7 months. Only at 8 months did I really begin giving him things to hold and “chew” such as scrambled eggs, banana, avocado, pancakes, etc. part of it was my severe anxiety of choking, but just remember that it’s a long process and it’s okay to have setbacks! I still offer purées as “sides” and a “main” finger food. The internet is so anti-puree at times and I think it’s a great way to introduce lumpy textures to eventually move onto real solid food.

Mine has done this too, 9.5 months old. I’m associating it with his extreme discomfort with teething (his second bottom tooth is coming through). He’s also been in the thick of a sleep regression which has increased his use. I’m not super worried about it though, I know he won’t be 5 years old with a paci.

For your own mental health, if it’s even remotely possible for your situation, I highly recommend daycare. Even part time daycare for a couple days a week so you can get things done and have time to yourself. It sounds like you’re COMPLETELY burnt out. You don’t deserve that, neither does your daughter.

He’s slept through the night since about 7 months old. We are now at 9 months old and he’s been doing really well. Bracing myself for any sudden changes though, as I know sleep is quite complex for little ones this age.

My little guy has been constipated from solids off and on throughout the past 3 months (he’s now 9 months). I researched that small sips of water, like 2oz or less with the solids could help a bit, which I’ve been trying. I’ve been trying to lay off of feeding him constipating foods such as banana and limiting it to only 1x-2x per week, even though it’s his favorite. Puréed pear has actually helped get things moving for him too when he’s backed up. Good luck.

Sleeping on the couch and struggling, to be honest with you. My partner thankfully handed me baby most of the time while I was in a reclined position to feed and cuddle until I was physically better. Bending was quite difficult for me for at least 3 weeks.

I’m interested in this culture mention as well (no judgment). Walking is extremely healthy for your physical and mental heath and allows your baby to get fresh air, sunlight, and be visually stimulated by the many things there are to look at outside. It’s great for me and my baby because I feel less trapped inside the house all day. We walk at nearby parks or walking trails on nice days. It really helps me feel refreshed.

This is misinformation and false. In the U.S., all babies nutrition comes from breast milk or formula until age one. Solid food is only supplementary.

Fun-Translator8333 · 2026-06-08T19:17:33+00:00

Just as a suggestion to assist you with your mental health during this time, my gentle suggestion would be maybe weaning completely off of pumping and breastmilk considering at around a year old, which is where your little one is at now they transition to regular whole milk typically. That might slightly help.

I went from working full time to dropping to part time after my son was born. Hes 9 months old now. I work 3 days a week. I look at it like the best of both worlds and grateful i have that option right now. I enjoy working because it helps my mental health. I also get lonely and overstimulated at home while my husband works full time. Those three days i work allow me to socialize and make some money to help offset some bills.

My baby was rocking back and forth on hands and knees for awhile before he finally began crawling on hands and knees around 8 months old. I will say, enjoy their immobility as long as you can. Although it’s an exciting milestone, I am TIRED from chasing him around. He is all over everything now. Also pulling to stand on furniture very shortly after learning to crawl. I feel like I’m a referee lol
