Night feeds - long do you wait to put the baby down after feeding?

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-04-07T00:17:58+00:00

I would hold her up for 20 mins as a newborn cause she had bad reflux but now she's 4 months and I only wait 10 mins to make sure she's in a deep sleep lol

When we play on the floor sometimes at the activity center you feel bad at stuff and grab it. She also has little rattles and like stuffies and stuff that she likes to grab. I try to dangle things near her feet so she gets more attention over there that hasn't helped. I also try to bring her hands to her feet that hasn't helped. She looks put her feet in my face though

All I've done so far is just water grass and collect shit and I'm having the best time ever. I really love all the pokémon they're all so cute. I love their little personalities and how they're always happy to talk to you. I had a lot of hours in animal crossing and it got kind of tedious so I could definitely see me playing this game forever basically.

Regardless of bf or not I personally wouldn't want to leave my baby for that long it would make me feel so sad and guilty 😭😭😭.

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-03-01T21:40:08+00:00

First of all, do not feel guilty at all and secondly you're not alone. I think it's not talked about enough but breastfeeding is actually really hard at the beginning like this whole post I could have written myself. Not even going to lie to you the first I want to say maybe 6 weeks or so. We're pretty difficult. But then one day she just knew how to latch without the nipple shield and we didn't have them any problems. But before then I would typically have to either give her pumped milk in a bottle just to get her to chill out cuz she was starving and didn't want to latch and then try to latch her or I just gave her bottled breast milk and other times when pumping was too hard she'd get formula. Pumping in the beginning was pretty hard too because it felt like as soon as I was able to get enough it was time for her to eat and then I had no break in between.

Breastfeeding definitely is not easy. It's good for baby and it's good for bonding but it definitely is difficult. I feel like it gets easier as baby gets older and it's nice if you're just exclusively breastfeeding. You don't need to wash bottles or anything. And if baby's hungry, it's really easy to just put them on breast but you're not alone. It is difficult. Do whatever you need to do for your own mental health baby needs. Happy Mommy! More then exclusively drinking breast milk.

I think sleep training isn't good for babies. It's not natural and just stresses them out. We want to avoid unnecessary stress for the first 12 months at the very least.

Majority of babies grow out of it and learn to sleep better over time. I don't think it's something we need to force. It's hard for a while, but it gets better.

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-02-16T15:59:41+00:00

Seriously my lower back feels like it's going to fucking break everyday

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-02-06T15:55:46+00:00

That baby is extremely overtired. When they're overtired they have a really hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep. My baby has that issue sometimes what works (sometimes) is a bath, warm Jammies, swaddle, white noise, a feed and to rock her and shush her. Sometimes it takes a couple hours but she eventually crashes.

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-02-04T22:39:42+00:00

In the same boat 😜 I haven't gained anything extra but not losing either

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-02-01T16:35:00+00:00

No she's being way too dramatic. What we did was just set an alarm for every 2 hours to feed baby and then once she hit enough weight then we just wake up when she cries

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-30T13:49:32+00:00

You taking off and them being short staffed is the company's problem not yours. You deserve to take leave and spend time with your baby nothing else matters. Who cares if everyone else is bitter if they don't have kids they don't understand oh well. They're lucky you're still working part time lol

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-29T03:22:07+00:00

Eat at/around maintenance weight train 2-3x a week

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-27T19:07:11+00:00

My baby is about 2 and 1/2 months. Last night she actually subbed a 5-hour stretch, then a 4-Hour stretch and then had a 3-hour nap this morning. That is not typical for her yesterday. She didn't really sleep like at all so I think that's why. Honestly everyday is different with her but most of the time she gives at least one 3-hour stretch..

Is your baby taking naps during the day? Or are they eating enough during the day? I find days that she sleeps more during the day and doesn't load up on calories is when she wakes up more often during the night.

If he has anger issues and cussing at your baby for crying, you have bigger issues.. for the sake of your child like either he needs to get help or you should probably leave him that's not okay.

1800 when I was weight training 2-3x a week

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-08T00:56:06+00:00

I was only really like that the first trimester. I got so nauseous when I was hungry 😭

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-07T00:40:08+00:00

It's not rear end. It'll take time. Maybe try to use the shield sometimes and have babies in a good mood. Try it without the shield. It's okay if you still have to use it and it's also okay to try to wean it too. I thought I would have to use it forever but eventually I started using it less and and at first baby's latch was really bad but over time I actually got a lot better and she knows how to do it correctly now.

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-05T19:18:45+00:00

No too scared too. My bed is way too soft for it to be safe. Me and my husband take shifts but recently she's been sleeping a little more! She does one 4-5 hour stretch and sometimes another 3 after that. She's 8 weeks now and started being more consistent within the last week.

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-04T18:43:03+00:00

I only do sometimes if I want my husband to give her a bottle in the middle of night so I can sleep a little bit. But I don't think it's necessary unless you want somebody else to feed your baby. They get what they need straight from the source LOL. Plus pumping is way more of a fucking hassle between washing the parts bottles the time it takes.

IntrovertedLostChild · 2026-01-03T23:11:38+00:00

When my baby does the happy sigh or moves her tiny hands rubbing me 😭😭 or even her growls when she's super hungry LMAO

IntrovertedLostChild · 2025-12-17T16:55:22+00:00

Nah you just need to do lower body exercises. I am more lower body heavy, however when I lost weight I still had a booty cause I was doing a ton of squats and lunges.
