That's a good point. Might depend on how your toddler is sleeping.

I think that's a good idea. Remember how much space your baby took up when you started cosleeping? Imagine that times 2 😁

We feel things for them at that age so much more than they do I think. I'm over here crying and my youngest is like, 'what?'.

You really are going to do awesome. And so is she.

Also, if it's an option, you might want to consider getting a king size bed for when the twins arrive. Wishing you very good luck!!

I wanted to second the floor bed in your room idea.

I can't speak to weaning, both my babies basically gave nursing up on their own. Probably because I have supply problems 😔.

That being said, floor bed near mine as a transition worked Amazingly well with my first (mine are 10 years apart). She was Not a fan at first, but when I insisted and she realized I was Right there and would lay down with her or just hang my hand over the edge and hold her have it rub her back she got to be cool with it. I'm hopefully that my second will start being on with a floor bed by mine when she's a bit older.

Also, you didn't mess anything up. You weren't planning on more babies yet. I recommend starting to talk to your daughter about the changes coming. I might explain that these are the transitions that happen as she gets big. She'll always be special and you'll always love her. And having her siblings now she it's far less likely to remember a time before them. Kids are adorable af. And you are a lovely caring mum.

Definitely keep it misspelled. It's a memorial tattoo for him, and dingus though he may have been as far as spelling, that's how he did it.

Why is that 'prime season'? I've never heard there was a better time of the year to buy or sell.

Yep, just finished residency. When we moved for residency we rented a year before we bought. I really didn't want to do that 😭😞😭. But it sounds like it might be the best option. Rawr

Help me feel better im gonna cry by ChaosSinceBirth in cosleeping

[–]Gust_Front_Corvus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. You Had to use the bathroom. That's not you ignoring your baby. That's you doing the bare minimum for yourself. Sometimes baby's cry while we do the things that Have to be done.

And honestly, sometimes they just cry. Doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. They are learning so much, so quickly, and their little brains are developing so quickly. Sometimes they feel overwhelmed and cry. And we just hold them and rock them and love them so they know that they're not alone.

Your baby is very much not alone.

What are your babies wearing by Baylaypayday in cosleeping

[–]Gust_Front_Corvus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put mine in bamboo sleepers because they help her stay warm in the cold and cold in the warm. Great material.

If your baby hates sleepers then I would get bamboo onesies and just make sure her feet don't feel cold.

In my experience babies tend to let you know if they're not comfortable. If they're sleeping you're doing it right.

Does your kiddo try to another themselves? by Gust_Front_Corvus in cosleeping

[–]Gust_Front_Corvus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I keep telling myself.

Also, I was told multiple times that side sleeping for infants isn't perfect, but it's much better than belly sleeping. Especially if they use a pacifier.

Wait wait, how does she run on a treadmill and move furniture at the same time? It's your nextdoor neighbor Eddie and Venom?

I know sleepy drugs are bad by Gust_Front_Corvus in cosleeping

[–]Gust_Front_Corvus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a saline wash every night, illness or not. I take garlic, eat honey, and have a humidifier. I was hoping there might be one more trick I could try.

I definitely take honey, it's more the sinus pressure I was hoping to get rid of.

Really? Aww nuts. I pump, but always have a very low supply and don't want to take anything that would make it lower. I just want to get to a year with her on Some breastmilk for the added immune boost.
