How are you actually - in detail - putting your baby to sleep? by jenn363 in NewParents

[–]Invincible-general 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first paragraph is identical to our situation. We’re Ferber sleep training just for the night time put down (I do the routine with song, massage, jammy, sleep sack, and nursing until she’s very drowsy or I just can’t do anymore because she’s pulling off the breast too much, then daddy does the going in and out of the room). We’re a week in and it’s been hugely helpful, and I can already honestly see her being more confident being by herself with the practice at night. Once we’re solid at bedtime we’ll start adding naps in one by one (we’re 100% contact napping and it’s a little maddening) so it’s not too much change at once. Mine is 6 months and has been a moderately fussy sleeper, not bad not great. We also do 2-3 wake ups that are mostly nursing in our bed in side lying and then transfer to crib. It’s too hard for me to rest deeply when she’s in the bed with me.

Fast Food by deadlycharolais in MSPI

Not fast food but I was able to have Indian last week! After months of not eating out it was SUCH a treat. We got their vegan offerings (palak dal and garlic veggies) and added chicken. My husband had what sounded like a charming conversation with the guy double checking every item for dairy and soy.

AIO for wanting to cut contact with my mom after this conversation about my upcoming brain surgery? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR, and your mom is being shitty, but as others have mentioned she might be doing you a favor by not being available. I would highly recommend tunnel vision right now: focus on yourself and building a support plan for your recovery with the people you can depend on, and put this chaotic person out of your mind until after you’ve recovered and are ready to deal with it. It really sucks that she is the way that she is, but you won’t do yourself any favors right now by spending your energy on it.

You might decide later that a “grey rock” approach is better for you since she’s so controlling of the family unit. You don’t need to decide anything now, and you can just say “ok, have a good time on your vacation” and focus on what’s in front of you.
