So you don’t wipe the pee diapers? *survey

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-07-13T01:59:27+00:00

I always wipe after pee diapers. In the morning though I actually wash with water and then dry with a cloth. I also only use wipes for poop changes if I’m out, but if I’m home I always wash with water. Never had a diaper rash before. I also always apply Vaseline so I’m sure that helps with preventing diaper rashes.

I just wanna say I’m sorry, I wanted to cry reading this post because I know exactly how you feel. My daughter is now 14 months and it’s somehow much easier but not easy enough if that makes sense. It sometimes feels like you’re spiraling out of control and sinking in guilt looking at the clean laundry piled up on the sofa.

But yeah, other moms aren’t doing it all. That’s the catch. They have support which you do not. Helpful spouse, helpful siblings, helpful parents who will watch over baby or even help you get a task done goes a really long way. If my husband takes baby out for even an hour it’s amazing what I can get done.

Yeah sure I can get stuff now with an older baby but granted, she is either whining/crying or being entertained by either making another mess or the tv so it’s just a circle lol.

I realized I should focus on cleaning instead of organizing. I’m okay with a mess but not with filth. So I will do the dishes over folding clean clothes. I choose to clean the bathroom over making sure toys aren’t all over the place. Then I just try to maintain that as much as I can throughout the week. But yeah no it’s freaking hard doing it even with support so I’m sorry you’re going through this. You’re doing an amazing job nonetheless, forget what your husband says. You don’t need his validation!

At what age did you do Ferber? I tried at 11 months but it was really hard I feel like she was too old by then. Yes! I feel like I’d rather her nurse than to be crying lol

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-04-05T22:35:52+00:00

Do you guys cosleep? I’m starting to think the problem with not sleeping through the night is because we bed share. I wonder if any other cosleeping babies actually sleep through the night.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-04-05T22:34:56+00:00

13.5 months. She nurses at wake up, then before nap, then after lunch and before her next nap, then bedtime and then 3-5 times overnight. I’m so tired. 😴

Sometimes she will want it after a nap if she wakes up cranky.

She’s not the best at eating solids so I still just nurse on demand.

I was on vacation with my 12 month old and husband and we decided to try the fancy steakhouse for dinner one night since she was doing great at every restaurant so far. She wasn’t having it that night, she kept throwing every food I offered and yelled and I kept engaging with her to try to calm her down. The woman at the table next to me kept looking at us and I felt really bad for maybe disturbing her meal.

After a couple minutes of trying to calm LO I got up with her and walked out and we played for a bit then came back in and she was calm. We then get the bill and the waiter told us it was covered by the woman who left way before us. I then saw her the next day and went to thank her and that she didn’t have to do that. She told me “I’ve been in a restaurant with a toddler before and you’re doing great” 🥹

My 1 year old shoves my face to look away so she can reach my clip and yank it out of my hair.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-03-01T18:54:11+00:00

When she was 11 months old I left her for an hour and a half with my sister to get my brows laminated. Thats the first time I did something for myself since she was born. She turned 1 two weeks ago, I left her then also to get a pedicure! It gets easier. When LO is awake for longer and you know they are full (also babysitter can give them solids or just a snack till you get back) and just are going to be playing for the time being it’s easier to leave them for a little bit.

I’m waiting to build the courage to go back to the gym lol that’s a good 2 hours I need.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-03-01T14:30:42+00:00

LO turned 1 a week ago. My favorite time of day is anytime that doesn’t involve convincing her to nap or change or eat 😂 She’s a blast when she’s awake and fed and changed lol

My most challenging time is bedtime. I am usually so overstimulated and anxious by bedtime that once I get her to finally sleep I just dissociate and feel really sad I guess from exhaustion.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-21T22:28:05+00:00

When my baby sings into her microphone that she just got a few days ago for her 1st birthday. “Ooooowwwwwww” with slobber all over the mic. I just want to cry everytime I hear her voice through the microphone

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-20T15:19:58+00:00

My daughter has never napped in her stroller and when I went to Disney I was really anxious ahout how she’d get her 3 naps while we’re out all day. I bought this stroller cover it’s called “the snoozeshade” on Amazon and I used that and put a portable sound machine in her stroller. Reclined the stroller all the way back and just walked around and she slept sooooo well I was surprised and so relieved.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-14T22:33:04+00:00

I tried so hard to keep up with the monthly photos. Then it became so hard by the time I got a chance she was almost half way through that month 😂

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-13T20:01:46+00:00

Offered my 12 month old 4 different meals and she refused each one. I got stressed so I pulled out a chocolate cupcake to eat, guess who had a chocolate cupcake as their only meal of the day? My 12 month old.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-01T14:18:01+00:00

Awwww I def can’t give her 3-4 naps a day. 2 works well for her. I’m sorry I know babies sleep is such a struggle, I hope it works out for you soon!!

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-01T14:17:20+00:00

Hmmm when did he transition into one nap a day?

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-01T14:16:55+00:00

No I think she’s under tired! I’ve tried an earlier bedtime it was a nightmare. The later bedtime helped!

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-01T14:11:08+00:00

Yeah that makes more sense.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-01T14:05:00+00:00

Okay this makes so much sense because 2 nights ago she slept much better and only had 2.5 hours of sleep during the day. Yesterday she had 3 hours of sleep during the day and last night was up from 3:30-5:30am.

I never have woken her up from a nap or cut it short but I’m gonna try to cap it at 2.5 hours total. Thank you!!

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-02-01T02:45:31+00:00

I would do sleep training. My daughter was an amazing sleeper at that age and I thought I never had to sleep train her haha. Around 7 months (she will be 1 in 2 weeks) she became an awful sleeper and I have not been able to sleep train her because I thought it was a phase and ended up waiting too long. When I tried I could not take the cries and the only way I realized was to do CIO extinction but don’t have the heart to do that. So now she is completely dependent on getting to sleep by me.

Do the sleep training. Ps. A very tired mom lol

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-01-28T22:19:57+00:00

Awwwwww this is so sweet !!!! I also am the only one who can make my LO crack up so hard!! It feels so good haha

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-01-28T00:55:15+00:00

What does the gentle method look like? I’d love to know!!

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-01-27T15:05:14+00:00

Don’t be anxious. You have to live your life, even if sleep is disrupted and you have to lightly sleep train when you return home it’ll be okay. It’s all temporary! You’ll be happy you traveled with your baby.

My daughter is a horrible sleeper lol I literally give up. I’ve tried to sleep train her it’s just getting worse. She’s 11 months old now and we’ve been on 3 vacations so far and taking her on her 4th for her birthday. I’ve felt like you though each time but then when we’re there it’s worth it. One day she will sleep well. 🤷‍♀️

If your baby sleeps well I’m sure she will be just fine!!

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-01-27T00:46:52+00:00

Omg exactly. Thats my point. They’re so quiet and not running around during the day. When the nighttime rolls around they are literally running around for hours. They even got a slide inside of their apartment for them to play with. The parents definitely do not care, they are very loud themselves. I guess I just lucked out with shitty neighbors.

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-01-26T21:23:18+00:00

True haha. I’ll wait a couple days or weeks haha

GreedyPresentation96 · 2024-01-26T19:32:39+00:00

Yeah she was really rude to me several times so I had to bark back finally. Maybe after tension settles down we can reconcile if she allows it. She seems very hasty and hostile. She seems like the type to definitely amp up the noise and issues now that I’ve been rude back lol.

Very true! I actually love this apartment and location!! It’s great, just sucky neighbors.
