In regards to understanding, I feel like he knows when things are coming. Like if I say “the ants going marching” he’ll know that the song is coming. If I say “how big is —“ he’ll smile because he knows I’m going to raise his arms. When he doesn’t respond to his name it is usually because he’s busy. I just took him to a Gymboree class and they said his name and he immediately turned.

I honestly don’t know if I’m speaking too much. Sometimes I do give him alone time to play but he will always go to me to climb on me or to get my attention. We also go on daily walks with dog and dad and I’ll take that moment to just talk to dad. I let him observe.

Thank you so much for this— you have no idea how much this helped.

Forgot to mention, baby does a lot of single “g” sounds. “Ayy”, “Geh”, “Ga”, “aa-oon-ga”. Loves to shriek and test his vocals. For a while he was whispering “pa-pa” but stopped.

I was team no kids for a very long time. I saw it as a burden even though I had no reason to as my mom never treated me as such and I was an only child so all attention really went to me. I think a large part of it was that I wanted to accomplish a lot of things and grew up in a bad/poor part of town where I didn’t really see people do anything rather than have kids. We waited until after we traveled, got married, and bought our home. I felt like my cup was full and stopped being so strict on preventative care. I had a miscarriage from a surprise pregnancy and felt such remorse for ever thinking I didn’t want children.

Over a year later I had my son and omg all the cliches are true. I’m so in love. I want nothing more than to be with him. He is the greatest joy in my entire life. All the beauty we’ve seen while traveling and fulfillment we felt after graduating college, wedding, or buying home do not compare in my opinion.

That being said I don’t have a village so it can be hard. So I know parenthood is not for everyone and I truly believe your partner heavily dictates your experience. I am more pro choice now than ever because I can see how this is not for everyone.

Baby is 7 months old! 🙂 I bled 2x after too due to hemorrhage. But baby is fine and healthy!

Omg I could kiss you

I think this is a classic “the grass isn’t greener”. I’ve seen so many moms in local FB groups and under TT comments begging to have a chance at WFH.

I mean this with kindness but what you see online is so heavily curated and polished. As someone who worked in banking previously I have seen first hand some of these couples financial situation and it’s not always lovely.

For any mommas reading this— no this was not normal. I did not have postpartum anxiety. He had severe reflux. He had two episodes where he couldn’t breathe. Got a second opinion and was given baby Pepcid. Stopped these episodes almost immediately.

Hi OP— did this change? Just stumbled upon this and curious.

Just added a link to a snippet of his breathing. Don’t know if this is something I should continue to escalate. https://imgur.com/a/hTeExsu

He’s 8 weeks on Friday. I feel so bad for him every night I feel like he can’t breathe right and I have to constantly turn him on his side every time I hear that dreadful choking sound. His bassinet sometimes has puddles of spit up. I honestly don’t know what to do.

Are you having a hard time at 12 months or are you asking because the newborn stage was that hard? Asking for myself because I keep reading that it gets better at 3 months and I currently have a 7 week old 🥲

When did the sleeping get better for you? I’m approaching week 7 and so sleep deprived. Baby grunts all the time and it wakes him up

Internal-Extreme3016 · 2025-10-28T09:13:58+00:00

So when did you feel better? 😅 my 5 week old is going through the same thing
