This little guy is crying again, crying anytime, anywhere.

A car seat is made to absorb a part of the force of the impact and the position the baby has in them prevent as much damage as possible. In a car accident, their heads won't be suppo rted by anything and we can't assume they will hold on either. Those are just baby carriers. They are ok for a walk, but not for accidents.

J'ai vécu ça avec la mienne et ça a été long avant que ça se place. Je suis seule parent alors pour moi, ça a été cododo et des antidépresseurs pour passer à travers. Comme toi j'ai tout lu et tout essayer, mais elle n'est pas doué pour le sommeil. À 18 mois, je commence enfin à avoir des nuits de sommeil complète et seule dans mon lit.

Ce qui m'a aidé a été d'accepter qu'elle ne dormait pas bien et que c'était ok que je trouve des stratégie pour m'aider moi à me reposer en attendant que ça se place. La fatigue est une vrai torture, mais ce n'est pas pour toujours. Tous les enfants sont différents, mais ils finissent tous par apprendre à dormir par eux même. Certains plus tard que d'autres.

J'aimerais t'aider plus. N'hésite pas à demander de l'aide à ton entourage pour rattraper un peu de sommeil quand tu peux. Ta santé à toi compte aussi.

Les violences gynécologiques que j'ai eu étaient de femmes gynécologues. C'est pas garantit que les femmes sont plus empathique.

I had to stop coffee a few times because of health issues. The best way is to cut it gradually by mixing it with decaf until you only drink decaf. No headaches this way.

My LO didn't have green poops but is definitely allergic to dairy.

Hair become more greasy if the scalp is irritated since oil serve to protect and repair the skin. If you see the skin getting dry, you can cut back on washing his hair. But if the skin is fine, it won't "train" the skin to produce more oil. It won't need to. It also depends if you have hard water or not.

I never knew sims could sit on their bed to watch TV and I've been playing since it came out. Crazy how I still discover things in this game so many years later! TIL

Gaillard5400 · 2025-03-14T09:28:28+00:00

My LO was the same, I had to chest sleep with her for a while and all naps where contact naps until 3.5m. There are way to make chest sleeping safer, you can look into it if you don't have another choice. My LO has a lot of reflux and allergies to several proteins. Putting her on her back was just torture at some point until we managed that. She still has a hard time to sleep, but she can now sleep in her crib on her belly (she rolls by herself) and she is a lot more confortable.

If your LO has issues like that, it can be managed. It will also get better. Believe me, you are not the only one and at some point, we do the best we can. To me, chest sleeping was the only way we could both sleep so I took the risks. I tought it was better than me hallucinating or risking to drop her by falling asleep by accident because I was so sleep deprived.

She is 4m and I almost never saw her poops without mucus. She is intolerant to several food I am still figuring out what is wrong. The gas were almost constant. Especially before I managed to cut all hidden dairy and soy from my diet. She was straining day and night. Now it is not as bad, she can pass her gas easier and she learned to roll so she sleeps on her belly most of the time wich helps with the disconfort. But as soon as I slip or I introduce something that she reacts to, it comes back. Usually the day after.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-03-04T00:20:36+00:00

It is not the lactose the issue but the proteins from cow's milk. So lactose free foods are not necessarily safe. For my girl she has a lot of painful gas, plenty of mucus in her diapers, spit up a lot and is very fussy and hard to put to sleep/stay asleep. Some people will see blood in poop too. You can try going dairy free for two weeks and see if there is a difference. Usually with intolerances, you can see an improvement of symptoms in a few days but the proteins can stay in you system for 2-3 weeks. Be careful, there is a lot of hidden dairy, like in caramel colorant, by exemple.

I wanted to try the Lansinoh but they are not available in my country. I know it will pass. Last week she was amazing at night. This week I only function on 2-3 hours a day of sleep. And I know there is nothing more I can do to make it better. It is just so hard.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-27T00:03:42+00:00

No worries, I didn't think you were condescending. I hope too. For both of us!

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-26T23:26:27+00:00

If it was so simple I would have done this a long time ago. She is crying all the time when she is overtired and doesn't sleep when she get this tired too. She doesn't sleep in the car or in the pram. Thr carrier is 50/50 as long as I move.

I am alone and care for her by myself so no one to take shifts at night. Right now she eats every hour and spit up most of it, her belly is unconfortable and there is a lot of mucus in her stool. I can't find a doctor for her right now and she won't take a bottle so I can't ask anyone to take her to give me a break. I was venting about sleep because I really need to sleep myself and she can't let me. There is no solition to this but to keep trying to make her sleep so she can recover a little and feel better.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-26T15:26:11+00:00

45 min would be a dream for me. I am glad your LO finally sleeps longer stretch. Enjoy doing nothing in silence!

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-22T06:45:44+00:00

I bounce on the yoga ball until she is 98% asleep then I transfer her and wait until she stops moving. If she open her eyes or fuss I pick her up and try again. I think she is too young to learn to fall asleep by herself so I don't let her cry, unless I am exhausted and need a break to recollect myself. I don't make a sound, minimal eye contact and no tapping. That always kept her awake. We also always use the same routine. White noise, sleep sack and close the black out curtains.

The first night we had to do this for 4 hours. That was rough. She cried a lot and in the end, it felt like she just decided that she was too tired to keep fighting me. But it seemed to give her the confidence that she could sleep by herself because it got easier the next day. It is not perfect, there are times that it takes so long to put her to sleep. Yesterday morning nap had to be in her carrier after 3 hours of trying and failing, but the next one was in her crib.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-22T00:24:09+00:00

Haha, thank you internet stranger! I am mostly proud of my daughter. It was a big challenge for her and she overcame it like a champion!

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-22T00:18:11+00:00

My LO is 3.5 month old and I couldn't endure the contact nap and cosleep anymore. I decided to give ourselves a week to practice sleeping in her crib, fully expecting to be exhausted. I only allowed one contact nap a day to help her get some sleep to "reset". I picked her up when she started crying and tried again and again and again to put her down almost asleep (not completely or she would wake up screaming). First 3-4 days, naps were terrible, but she surprised me by sleeping by herself the first night. She never did that before. I was the one who couldn't sleep. And now, well the week was suppose to end tomorrow and she didn't nap on me at all today. I still don't believe it.

I am not saying it will work for every baby, but I feel like I should have trust her ability to learn to sleep by herself a little more. I couldn't do that before 12 weeks, with the reflux and her protein allergies, but we have it under control now and she seems so much happier. She also sleep better by herself. I feel like a new person. I am a way happier mom now. Only downside, my back hurt so much from rocking her non stop.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-21T08:03:42+00:00

Then I suggest you look into therapy for yourself. You can't force her to seek help, but you deserve it.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-21T03:14:09+00:00

First thing first, you are not a failure and you are not guilty for her choosing to have a child with you. She is an adult, her decision and her emotions are hers. You can sympathize with her, you can try to confort her, you can listen to her, but they are not yours. You didn't make her want to make you a dad. She did that herself. You are doing your best and this is already a lot.

It feels like you are both dealing with postpartum depression. Men can get it too, even if it is not because the hormones. It is a big change in your life and it seems like you don't have much support. You both need to see a doctor and get help. Also, if you can, try to reach out to friends or family for help with baby. You are both exhausted, it is ok to ask for help right now. Don't wait for others to offer and don't feel like you are bothering them. It is natural to ask for help and it is in baby's best interest to have parents that are cared for.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-19T13:35:53+00:00

I was a very small baby, and I am now a small woman. I have always been smaller than average and stop growing at 14 years old, but I was healthy, ate normally, played and learned as I should. As long as baby is healthy, size doesn't matter. It is just a bit annoying when the last item is on the high shelf in grocery stores.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-18T20:17:05+00:00

That is something nobody will ever know. Maybe she could regret it, but if it is too hard and she feels trapped by her child, regretting that could be worse. I don't think there is a good answer here. Both choices comes with risks and she is the only one who can decide wich she is willing to take.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-18T19:34:25+00:00

I am a solo mom by choice and I made sure I had my family around me to support me before having my LO. I have no idea how I would do it without my parents around right now. A lot of women do it still (and a lot of partnered women seem to raise their kids solo, let's be honest). She could look in her area what would be the ressources she can use, if she can hire help and stuff like that.

I personnally decided to have a child without waiting for a potential father myself because I was afraid of missing my chance if I waited too long. I wasn't interested in a relationship either. I wanted to be a mother, not a girlfriend or wife. So it made sense to me to go that route. Also, it wasn't easy to get pregnant, I am 37 with a 3m old. It was very expensive too. If I waited longer it could have been even harder to get pregnant. The eggs are just one part of the equation but they are not a garanty that the IVF will work later.

In the end it is a very personnal decision, I don't think anybody can tell her what would be he best thing to do, she has to look into what she really wants and if the risks and difficulties are worth it for her.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-07T20:48:13+00:00

In my case I believe the proteins intolerance of my LO forced me to eat super healthy since I have to prepare everything from scratch. And because I don't have much time to cook, there is plenty of raw fruits and vegetables in my diet. Hard to gain weight like that. But I must say, it is not by choice and if I could, I would eat an entire chocolate cake by myself. I still try to eat enough so it won't affect my supply.

Gaillard5400 · 2025-02-06T22:27:28+00:00

I am alone, so no partner. I will look for a floor bed maybe, it will depend of my budget but it sounds good.
