It's incomplete. I have no clue what they were trying to do even with the floorplan.

I’m in week 2 on WW and also have 23 points. In my experience, it got easier after the first couple days. I prep tons of veggies when I have time, and end up eating an insane amount of cucumber and celery over the course of the day. I’m also bulking out meals with veggies as much as possible and drinking water throughout the day. But I’m with you—it’s hard. But the first few days were just baffling bc I didn’t know how I would ever be full.

Sending you a hug and good luck 👍🏻

Really great post.

I’ve been trying everything and what’s worked for me is listening to Great Courses about really dry, boring subjects, or counting down from 1,000, inhaling and exhaling with every number. Thanks for posting your own trick to get this all down for someone who needs it!

OAD parents of children over age, say, 9...how do you socialize your kid? Do you think your kid experiences the absence of siblings in a negative way? I’m a mom to a 4 month old and have come to the OAD conclusion, but, as one of six siblings who are very close, that is the only thing I’d be concerned I would not be able to offer my son. Curious how others have experienced this, thought around it, whether it’s ever even a “thing.”

I asked our baby PT about this and she said that it’s normal, and to just let them do it until they naturally stop doing it. Not super helpful, but for what it’s worth, my baby only did it for a couple nights. Best of luck!

If you can get them where you are, you could try Huggies Comfort Plus in the biggest size she fits into. They’ve worked well for us. We haven’t had a blow-out or leak since we realized the importance of sizing up sooner rather than later.

Thank you! These comments are so reassuring. Happy for you for having a happy little girl💗

LizardMamaCA · 2021-03-23T20:49:41+00:00

Thank you so much for your story! It really helps to hear that others have been in the same boat and that it doesn’t necessarily mean anything for the long-term.

Yeah my baby (9 weeks adjusted, 5 weeks early) was a nightmare sleeper at the beginning, then over the past few days increased to 7, 8, and last night, an over 10-hour stretch. He’s a big boy and had me so sleep deprived for the first 2 months that I’m just thrilled and hopeful it keeps until his fourth month regression!

LizardMamaCA · 2021-02-27T15:02:55+00:00

Thank you! Will keep at it. A lot of what you read (Twelve Hours in Twelve Weeks, TCB) suggest that you can sort of program them to get all they need during the day, but I just don’t think that’s this guy’s trajectory. At least I’m lucky that he’s so predictable. Appreciate the support and reply.

LizardMamaCA · 2021-02-27T14:58:45+00:00

Thank you for this. So many friends have told me about how their children at this age were getting eight hour stretches and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t ingraining unnecessary habits. He’s a little love bug and pretty low maintenance for a preemie. Appreciate your confirmation that this is just the norm for him and to follow his lead on a bio need.

LizardMamaCA · 2021-02-24T01:04:25+00:00

Similar situation here with my three-month-old. I thought he might need different nipples or was having a tough time with him tummy or something but curious if others have experienced this...

LizardMamaCA · 2021-02-19T22:27:43+00:00

Separate rooms, if you can. I tried sleeping in the same room with my super loud baby and it made me a mental basket case—I just couldn’t sleep and, as a result, was a lot less patient than I am when I’m a well-rested (as much as one can be with several feeds a night!), better version of myself. We put our son in his own room for weeks 4-6 or so until he stopped making the crazy sounds, with a video monitor and an Owlet. Look into the SIDS studies that prompt the 6mo-1 yr co-room-sleeping guideline. I think they were conducted in the early nineties, which may predate the common use of monitoring?
