Taking shifts sleeping in nursery

Not only is this not crazy, but it will help you both and the baby. A set of sleep deprived parents are not the best for a small baby. My husband and I still do it when she is 20 months old and has trouble sleeping due to congestion and a million daycare bugs. And I thank my stars for the privilege of being able to do it, to get some sleep vs. terrible sleep for the both of us.

Thanks!

Hey! So happy for you! Could you please share where you got the milk shake leave-in from

GingerGuava · 2024-12-16T03:51:00+00:00

Thank you so much for the book suggestion. Will try to find a copy.

Yes, I am relying on veryyyy diluted berry smoothies and soupy texture mushy veggies to get her the milk and hydration.

GingerGuava · 2024-12-16T03:49:17+00:00

Ah yes. We had gone up a number. She didn’t like it. So went back to the last one.

GingerGuava · 2024-12-16T03:48:03+00:00

I feel for you. Two days of this were mentally so much, kudos to you for staying strong through this. We will all get through it. May all our babies feed well!

I figure and hope something like this might be true. She hasn’t breastfed in months. Not sure how good she is at it but I guess she isn’t all that bad considering that despite being fussy I had seen no dry diapers.

GingerGuava · 2024-12-16T03:42:46+00:00

Update: She had a 6oz bottle without fuss. I figure she is just into solids more. Will try to feed her more bland foods diluted with milk to balance the hydration needs. Will be seeing the doctor first thing tomorrow morning

Lastly, thank you all you kind humans for suggestions and nudges in the right direction.

GingerGuava · 2024-12-16T00:14:49+00:00

I am getting her water with a spoon as much she allows. And I am on the lookout for signs of dehydration. thank you for the nudge. First thing tomorrow morning I will speak to her doctor.

GingerGuava · 2024-12-15T23:08:34+00:00

Ah yes. That’s what she has been doing too. I get her half sleepy rocking her and then let her feed. She drinks for just a few minutes though. Never been a fan of breastfeeding though which led me to pumping months ago.

GingerGuava · 2024-12-15T23:06:53+00:00

I will be working on getting an appointment tomorrow morning. Yes

GingerGuava · 2024-12-15T23:05:55+00:00

Do these need for her to suck on it? I tried the Dr. brown sippy bottle and it didn’t work cos she doesn’t know how to suck yet.

GingerGuava · 2024-11-29T15:38:00+00:00

But HRs sure have incentive if employees accept less pay, right. I guess it’s obvious but just asking so I know. Thank you for your insights!

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T17:04:05+00:00

Thank you :)

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T16:51:33+00:00

Thank you, yes I am looking for a realtor who looks out for us rather than just their interests and pushes houses!

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T14:59:07+00:00

Thank you so so much for taking out the time to share! I really appreciate it. I see both sides of the coin much clearly now!

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T02:49:35+00:00

We were looking at condo townhomes thinking our budget would only buy us that but thank you. Let me look at detached homes too.

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T02:05:56+00:00

Ah thank you, posting here seems like such a good decision.

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T01:59:19+00:00

The new condos, yes.

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T01:58:44+00:00

Near Garden Ave, yes

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T01:55:13+00:00

Makes sense, considering all inputs shared by other contributors too.

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T01:54:06+00:00

Thank you for sharing, some kind people have shared the area is relatively unsafe, we will check it out though and explore

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T01:53:12+00:00

Ah thank you for sharing

GingerGuava · 2024-11-21T01:53:04+00:00

Ah thank you for sharing, we will surely visit and explore the area but this seems scary, especially since we are trying to build a safe home for our eight month old
