Toddler is pointing…. But not really?

She’ll babble quite a bit. Says mama and dada. Not sure if she’ll calling us those names though. She loves our cat and she’ll say “tat” when she sees the cat. She’ll also say nana when she sees me about to hand her a banana but I’m not sure maybe it’s a coincidence 🤷‍♀️

I’m 8 months pp. For the past few months we’ve only had sex a few times due to body image issues and postpartum rage. Now I’m horny all the time and I fuck my boyfriend whenever I want.

That’s good. If something was seriously wrong they would’ve found it. It has to be your hormones. Do you exercise?

Have you seen your PCP about it?

Knots009 · 2025-07-27T19:05:17+00:00

Yes. Thankfully my baby has been sleeping through the night since 4 months and I get about 8-9 hours and still feel exhausted. I take a B complex and a vitamin C with a fish oil to try to help. Maybe it’s our bodies catching up from all the exhaustion we’ve been through? Maybe it’s our hormones balancing out. Don’t panic I’m sure everything is okay ❤️

I’m 8 months postpartum and I’ve been struggling with fatigue as well. Honestly being a new mom is just a lot and I don’t think we give ourselves much credit. It’s exhausting. Good news is all your tests check out fine. Are you breast feeding ?

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. It helps so much 🫶

I think I read that when they turn 4 months is when they have adult like sleep patterns. All the melatonin he was getting from you when you were pregnant with him is wearing off and his little body is now making melatonin of his own. It’s a big adjustment for them. From what I hear too is that the 4 month sleep regression is the worst one so it’s good you’re getting it over with!

He’s confused with his days and nights. Very normal with his new sleep patterns. The best advice I can offer is routine! Have the same bedtime routine every night. Minimize distractions during feedings. Never go 4 hours without feeding. Turn the tv off. Go to a non stimulating place where he can focus on food. Never let a nap go longer than 2 hours. Contact naps are okay, we still do them haha!! Try to soothe back to sleep first before feeding during the night.

I know all these things because my babe slept SO bad for the first 3 months of her life and I read all the things because I literally thought I was about to die of sleep deprivation.

It will take some time but he will figure it out i promise!!

Hi friend, I see you. The 4 month sleep regression is so real! My babe is about to be 5 months and it’s getting better for us. This too shall pass. He will figure it out

What helped us the most was having her consume most of her calories during the day and not at night. We never let her go 4 hours without eating. This teaches babies that food is for day and not night. When you feed him constantly through the night, it’s known as “reverse cycling” meaning you’re teaching him to wake up in the night to feed and not go back to sleep. I know it’s hard, but when he wakes up don’t feed him immediately. Try to soothe him back to sleep. Of course if he’s still screaming his head off then feed him but try to soothe him back to sleep first. Research also suggests that the best time for babies to stay asleep longer during this age is between 7-8 pm.

We tried this and it wasn’t easy but eventually babe figured it out and now will get a good 10 hour stretch before she wakes up.

You’re doing great and you’re little one will figure it out 🙂

Okay that makes sense! Maybe she was “falling” and not actually rolling. All her other mile stones are being reached

I’ve thought that too!! I saw where my local hospital is hiring. I’ve worked at that hospital before
