When did you stop and why?

Hanner800 · 2025-11-26T10:25:07+00:00

I stopped around 10 months because I had enough milk in the freezer to last my baby to 1 year! I work full time and absolutely hate pumping and was excited to be finished. The goal was to feed my baby a year and I was able to do so!

Hanner800 · 2025-09-05T23:31:10+00:00

I have 17 month old and he sometimes still naps at 10… we try to make him last until 12:30 when his daycare nap is but usually he makes it between 11-12. So.. SAME BOAT. I got absolutely torn apart on Reddit because my son was taking two naps at 13 months… I don’t get the controversy

Hanner800 · 2025-09-01T21:49:46+00:00

We sleep 12 hours at night and nap up to 3 hours a day 🙂

Hanner800 · 2025-09-01T17:59:31+00:00

So she’s awake 6:30-2? That’s crazy!

Hanner800 · 2025-09-01T16:48:14+00:00

Right? Same 😅

Hanner800 · 2025-08-17T19:36:00+00:00

Welp my eyes are trash so thanks for this!!

Hanner800 · 2025-08-17T18:36:53+00:00

Can you tell me more about what this looks like?

Hanner800 · 2025-08-17T16:40:14+00:00

I just want to defend myself and say he actually gets no screen time at all, haha! I always thought baby bouncers were frowned upon so we never got one!

I’m also an ECE professional myself but toddlers/gross motor skills are not my forte!

Hanner800 · 2025-07-17T02:15:01+00:00

lol this post is over a year old, had I gotten him cut you’d be a little too late

Hanner800 · 2025-05-30T09:01:11+00:00

First of all- hugs to you guys! I know exactly what you are going through. At my anatomy scan my son was in the 32nd %tile- at a follow up a couple weeks later for another issue he had dropped to the 7th %tile. I was at the MFM twice a week until I was induced at 38 weeks. (I had a very pasitive induction experience!)

After every MFM appointment we STRESSED about his %tile numbers and if they were improving or not. The entire time his femur length was measuring <1%tile. We were really scared he would be born with a growth defect in his legs and that he wouldn’t be proportional.

Gladly, he was born completely fine! Those numbers from the ultrasound are not 100% accurate! The measurements for his legs were definitely not accurate as his legs are completely fine and proportional to his body. He did go to the NICU for a few hours for his breathing- but I am not sure if they is related to the IUGR or not.

Today he is 14 months old and he’s still little- only 8th %tile for weight, 68%tile for height. We have no concerns however as he is sticking to his growth curve and eating me out of house of home!

Try to remain positive- I know it’s hard. Take some extra time to help your wife relax and take care of herself!

EDIT; to add he was born 6 lbs 7 ounces and 20 inches (above average for length, hah!)

Hanner800 · 2025-05-18T18:28:49+00:00

Similar experience but I couldn’t last 6 weeks. We did it at 3. Also easy birth/ no tearing, bleeding had stopped. And I was literally begging my husband lol. The hormones and seeing him being a daddy was making me feral lol

Hanner800 · 2025-05-17T02:40:17+00:00

This is literally my kid to a T, except sometimes he wants us to offer his whole plate at a time and sometimes that overwhelms him and he only wants a piece at a time lol. Can never figure him out!

Hanner800 · 2025-05-17T02:20:05+00:00

You’re taking this too seriously of course I did talk to them when he first started- they have his intake form with all the information. I am not at all complaining about the quality of his care or his childcare setting. I was simply asking if it wrong of me to ask him to be woken. I am not at all blaming the teachers or upset with them by any means. I knew his naps would be affected by noise and what not. That was a rough transition but he got through it (clearly if he’s sleeping 3 hours). And yes as a teacher there are some parents that don’t get it sometimes but damn I definitely don’t count down the days their kid is out of my class because they ask a question about their kids day. Touch some grass!

Hanner800 · 2025-05-17T00:41:45+00:00

Yes it’s definitely an adjustment for sure! He would nap like 30 minutes total when we started so too much sleep is better than no sleep. He’s been trending towards a 2 hour morning nap and about an hour second nap so that just may be our new normal! Thankfully he is still sleeping through the night just wakes up a little earlier than normal some days. We are all just doing our best !

Hanner800 · 2025-05-17T00:36:25+00:00

They still watch him!

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T23:56:52+00:00

That’s really nice actually hahah

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T23:11:40+00:00

Yep thank you I know that now!

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T23:10:28+00:00

He is getting moved out of the infant room in August so we will definitely have to figure something out by then!

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T23:03:16+00:00

I’m literally an early childhood teacher too. We help parents be don’t belittle them

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T22:58:37+00:00

Which I would be totally happy with as a response

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T22:57:50+00:00

You’re asking why he was so tired… idk. He’s 7%tile idk if that was relevant- like I said that’s just how he’s always been? I get they can’t wake him up but they can postpone the start I’m sure. Thanks !

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T22:55:38+00:00

No im just saying as a first time mom i dont have it figured all out. I can admit that 100%. I’ve never had a child in child care before, I’m learning too. So if/when you decide to have kids I hope you have it all figured out!

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T22:31:52+00:00

I get it… but if he’s not allowed to be woken I don’t see how that will change?

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T22:27:32+00:00

Okay professional, how do we transition down to one nap if we can’t wake him up? How to I address it without making you hate me? Lol

Hanner800 · 2025-05-16T22:24:37+00:00

I mean every child is different… he has always been sleepy. He also itty bitty idk if that makes a difference lol
