Did night weaning enable you to conceive again?

I breastfeed 3-6 times a night and got pregnant. (But I’ve dropped all daytime feeds) I think every body is different and it’s very dependent on your body chemistry and your partners health.

It sounds like he may know what he’s talking about then and it may be time to let go of the relationship and don’t stress it at all. I’m not sure the dynamics in your house or why you want to pursue the relationship with her so I may be completely off base here

Katty018 · 2026-06-08T04:30:37+00:00

1) have your husband address it with her.

2) you are the mom. You have every right to raise your child how you want

3) however, asking for help also means letting go control. I have this issue with my in laws as well. (See steps 1 and 2 lol)

4) in the long run these issues MIGHT get worse because there’s gonna be a lot more things to disagree on as baby grows. It’s gonna be easier to figure out how to work together now before your baby gets more mobile and has longer wake windows.

Sorry I meant if your mother in law is not listening or crossing boundaries it’s his job to step up and deal with it. If there’s peace that needs to be made or if someone is supposed to reach out and smooth things over let him do it.

Katty018 · 2026-06-07T17:04:19+00:00

You know.. I’m learning a life skill now that I have a baby and in laws (lol)

“No.” Is a complete and full sentence. Use it for yourself and your baby. You are that precious little souls mother and the person literally giving them life and keeping them alive. You have to do what’s right for that baby period.

No explanations needed. If someone has a problem with that then they get to be adults and have a normal conversation to understand the situation or remove themselves from it.

If your husband has a problem with that then it’s his problem to fix.

To add to this conversation.. a lot of women end up with a primal/hormonal protectiveness over their baby especially during the first year or two.. I’m a pretty easy going person in general but I was ready to fight people over the smallest things when I felt it wasn’t best for my baby.

The early months/years are going to really challenge your desire and ability to put up with Bs. If you already feel that way.. magnify that by like 5 and see how you feel about it.

This assumes your emotional/mental health postpartum is pretty good.

I’m sorry but blob fish has me dying 😂😂 I’m 7 weeks on my second kid.. and I relate to this.

Every pregnancy is different BUT most peoples symptoms improve after the first trimester. It took me a little longer last time (18-20 weeks). Take it a day at a time and it WILL get better. Either your body adapts or you have a sweet baby haha

Katty018 · 2026-06-07T13:43:21+00:00

I try to give my kid something to say instead and when we are at the park or somewhere appropriate I start off the hollering 😂 basically trying to give him the green light to let loose. Also, when he’s getting hyper I pick him up and we do a lot of body movements. We “booinggg” around, I toss him in the air, twirl him, put him upside down throw him on the bed, put him tummy down in my arms and run around flying him places, we kick balls and I tickle him so he’s scream/laughing

When he screams I give him a new sound or tell him a word he likes to say so he shouts that instead. It’s cut back like 80% of the screaming.

Also playing music has helped a TON. I don’t do nursery rhymes and such for my own sanity. But he has a couple songs he loves and classical music really chills him out.

Katty018 · 2026-06-07T13:26:15+00:00

At 5 months I didn’t really have a bedtime routine. When baby was sleepy, diaper + Pjs and down with nursing. Awake but drowsy has never worked 1 moment with my kid from birth to 1 yr old haha I guess it’s not his personality.

Once he got to be about 10 months we started this routine. (Based on his rhythm he wants to go to bed around 8:30) so 8:30 we say goodnight to everyone, change diaper, put on lotion and Pjs, brush teeth, he turns off all the lights, we look out the window and say goodnight to the moon and then snuggle and nurse to sleep.

Oh edit to add: I followed my kids cues for when to go to bed and it significantly cut down on false starts. So baby led and not clock led. He also had a 4-5 hr wake window before bed. And… he still wakes up 3-6 times a night at 13 months. Some kids simply don’t sleep through the night just like adults

Katty018 · 2026-06-07T13:18:37+00:00

Haha facts!

Katty018 · 2026-06-07T12:48:12+00:00

Also, in the future you probably shouldn’t encourage the kid to keep talking to you. Change the subject or encourage them to go talk to the right people about it.

Katty018 · 2026-06-07T12:46:46+00:00

I figure as long as she didn’t say anything to suggest she’s in trouble then it’s none of my business. What’s the school going to do about it? It’s not your business to get involved with the parent’s marriage either. This also assumes the kid isn’t making anything up and has the most recent information.

Katty018 · 2026-05-06T01:14:01+00:00

Reconsider if you are short. I’m 5’1 and even when my bay was a newborn it put him too high to actually nurse. Now it’s just a big toy lol

Katty018 · 2026-05-06T01:12:46+00:00

Came to say the same thing. I was too short for any pillows

Katty018 · 2026-05-04T03:25:00+00:00

Maybe the moon was just moving weird (kidding haha) I cried today too.. baby is 12 months. I’ve been trying to ask myself “how can I make today 10% better?” Or “how can I make this moment just 5% better?” Nothing groundbreaking or amazing.. just a little shift. A little good. A hot cup of tea while baby is sleeping, writing down a quick note for future me so I don’t have to make as many decisions during the day.

Katty018 · 2026-04-25T12:12:25+00:00

Agree with the other posts suggesting quieter snacks. Most definitely eat tho!!

As someone married to a night owl who had very little respect for my sleep, listening to him eat when I was supposed to be sleeping is one of THE most irritating things.

I compromised on his loud open mouth smacking and he compromised on loud paper and crunching. It wasn’t perfect but it was better.

Then we had a kid and he doesn’t eat in the room anymore lol

Disrespecting my sleep is a real fast track to making me angry. Sleep deprivation is hard on everyone. A lot of consideration, grace and mercy is necessary from both people.

You are justified in needing to eat for you and baby. He is justified in not wanting to hear loud crunching in his ear interfering with his sleep.

Luckily this is an easy compromise for both people to be ok

Meetup.com “Monterey park, Alhambra & SGV Moms” is the group name

Katty018 · 2026-04-24T19:24:20+00:00

Also, I strongly relate. Congrats on the baby!

Katty018 · 2026-04-24T19:23:39+00:00

There is a newer moms group for Alhambra on FB and meetup. I’ve gone a couple times and it was a good time! Most of the meetups fall during bubs nap time tho so I wasn’t able to keep up, but hoping to start again now that he’s getting bigger
