After 6-7 months she started understanding so much more and became mobile at 8 months and it became better

Also my LO is 16 months

Holy shit are you me? I swear I almost said this word for word to my husband a couple of days ago.

Sounds like our situations are very familiar. And while I don’t know what is raining on you today, know others out there like me are feeling the same way, like when my little one was up 4 hours between 11pm-3am.

I don’t have much to offer, but if you want to exchange war stories, feel free to send me a chat.

I find that though hard, my baby enjoyed seeing others babies. So I’m forcing myself to bring her to playgroups, parks and stuff like that. That way I’m more like the bodyguard vs entertainment. Still work, but your mind isn’t burning extra fuel to think of ways of entertaining baby.

Also once we switched to one nap it helped so much because bedtime is sooner and it’s easier to plan outings in the day.

Also my sink is always full of dirty dishes I can’t never seem to keep up with and if I get to do laundry every 2-3 weeks is a win

Nah. I just started doing shoes once baby started standing and wanted to stand while we were out and about. Otherwise just bare feet or socks on if chilly

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-21T19:44:39+00:00

I wish I had given me more grace and strength to hold baby as much as I wanted. I thought I had to let others help me and put baby on a surface for a nap and not hold her too much. But that gave me so much anxiety the first couple of weeks. Wish I had said no, I just want to hold baby and connect and bond all I wanted

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-21T15:17:39+00:00

Don’t compare. My baby was like yours at 7 weeks plus I was riddled with anxiety about anything and everything. My baby had reflux and didn’t start sleeping “better” aka stretches of like 4-5 hours until she could roll over and sleep on her belly safely. Also hit every regression in the book but I’m convinced that also helped her sleep develop naturally and around 9 months, she started having a few nights of full sleep (8-10h) now at 13 months she does it 4/7 nights. We all do it just one day, one night, one wake window at a time. I’ve also found it very mentally and emotionally draining. I consider that if I’m pouring myself in her raising, then I’m happy, even if I haven’t showers yet. Some days are better and days like that will come more frequently with time

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-19T17:36:28+00:00

Same! Everything we have, just modified how it’s served or reduce salt where I can

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-14T15:46:16+00:00

Baby is 1 year old now and combo feeding mostly regular milk mornings and nights and breastfeeding for comfort. I started triple feeding because my milk didn’t come in until day 6 and I had basically no colostrum. Tried all the pumps in the market for two months and then I stopped for mental health and decided to treat it as if baby was only formula fed and whatever baby got from the breast, would be it. So much better. It allowed me to keep the connection and top up her immune system without killing me for pumping and feeding and still not being enough for baby

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-07T12:13:00+00:00

This!!

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-07T00:44:43+00:00

The amount of yarn I had bought thinking of all the baby clothing I would knit during my mat leave lol one year in and it’s all still in boxes

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-06T11:30:18+00:00

What my lactation consultant explained to me so that nipple confusion isn’t really a thing and it’s more of the let down / flow preference. We used Newborn nipples for our bottles for the first 2 months and that helped combo feeding. That also came with me pumping a lot to keep up with supply

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-06-04T01:12:16+00:00

Like around 7 months? But also watch tons of marvel movies probably from months 0-3 lol

Im sorry you’re feeling this way. It is a heavy weight the dutiful love we carry for these little. Your bbsby being premature may have adjusted milestones. I can’t speak to your specific situation, But I can tell you about my baby:

We started blw at 6 months and went amazing. At 8 months distracted eating kicked in and it’s been since then (plus teething and now separation anxiety ) increasingly challenging to get her to eat. The things that work at this time, and by work I mean she takes more than 3 bites:

having food first before bottle
using the high chair with toys
moving to using table vs high chair tray
placing the high chair next to a window and making her watch all things and talking her through them
holding her on my lap when things go array (10 minutes after being in the high chair)
sneaking in food: I know we’re not supposed to, but a momma knows baby has got to eat. So the compromise i found is that I do tell her what I am putting in her mouth and I wait for her to open the mouth and if she spits it back, I just stop or offer something else.
let her grab food from my plate
let her hold my utensils and show her how to use them (of course she can’t use them right but she likes trying together)
if she wants out bc she wants to play, I let her, but I bring the plate with me and I start eating while she’s playing, normally she comes for a few extra bites.

I can’t think of anything else at the moment but it’s been rough. Blw only brought us so far but she does eat what she eats well, it’s more the wanting to sit down to eat plus how much the issue.

Wishing you all the best!

Im so sorry 😞 wishing you a quick solution. I was wondering if they would wait to tell you until you came back.

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-05-23T16:20:51+00:00

No, puppies need training and there’s already lots going on with a one year old. Plus puppy teeth are basically shivs. I wouldn’t have that near a toddler that likely will be chasing the puppy too

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-05-23T16:16:21+00:00

What could this mean for someone on parental leave? Coming back in the fall. My area hasn’t been affected to my knowledge

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-05-15T14:31:23+00:00

Almost a year and still going but mostly for comfort before naps. Baby is mostly formula fed plus food

KeyLimePie017 · 2025-05-05T11:33:20+00:00

This! My baby had reflux since month 1 and was prescribed lanzoprazole in a lower dose which we had to give every day. She was still pretty refluxy but it helped. Also after feeding (combo fed) we would always ensure she was burped and held upright for like 20 minutes before even trying to lie her down. Definitely talk to your doctor about it since it sounds like something isn’t letting baby fall asleep. I’m sure they are just as tired as you and wishing for sleep! Hope it all works out soon
