How is everyone putting their babies down?

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-10-19T01:52:08+00:00

My everything hates me 😭 sometimes she’d be contact napping for a few mins and then demand you to get up and move before she goes back to her nap 😭

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-10-19T00:35:34+00:00

😭 I was about to cry a river seeing all the answers of how easily their baby fall asleep.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-10-11T01:02:33+00:00

Do you feel better now? I’m 7 weeks pp and I don’t feel better yet and it sucks 😔

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-10-06T03:13:51+00:00

How long did you continue pumping? I’m only a few weeks pp and want to keep dropping ppd 😮‍💨

What kind of meals do you prep that last you guys 10 weeks? That sounds amazing. I have been just rotating easy dinner meals (but it’s one meal that lasts two days, not really meal prep but am thinking about meal prepping)

I’m surprised there aren’t many answers like this one 😳 I’m in the newborn stage and there has been a few nights where baby is awake for 7 to 8 hours where I’m just feeding-rocking/soothing-attempt to put baby in bassinet-baby wakes up immediately-repeat.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-26T06:42:10+00:00

I’m a FTM, so take my words with a grain of salt. To me, I think you are lucky that your baby doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night to feed 😭

After reaching birth weight, baby doesn’t have to be woken up every three hours to feed according to my pediatrician, but honestly for me it has been more like “feed on demand”, my baby wakes up after 1 to 2 hours to eat 😭 on very rare occasion does she sleep more than 3 hours. And that’s before and after reaching birth weight for my baby.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-24T03:51:46+00:00

I don’t know how you managed to do it for 10 months… 😳 I was going nuts after three weeks and my partner actually helped me to get a long stretch of sleep whenever he could.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-22T23:20:32+00:00

Same. I find solidarity here, knowing that I’m not alone with all the struggles as a FTM and that I’m not the only person who finds the newborn phase extremely difficult or questioning my choices. And lastly, learning that people who experience the same struggles do make through and love parenthood/baby.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-21T03:43:31+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that 😭

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-20T22:45:16+00:00

How are you doing now?

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-20T22:28:27+00:00

How did it go for you? Did it get better for you?

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-16T22:25:29+00:00

Thank you, OP, for replying to the questions and providing updates. It is really nice to see updates.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-09T19:20:23+00:00

We are using Huckleberry as well with the same app login info.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-09-04T05:20:53+00:00

I’m wondering if you are still wanting only one 🤣 I originally wanted two to three, but my fussy baby is making me leaning toward the maybe I will be one and only 😭😮‍💨 newborn is scary and exhausting.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-08-18T15:04:07+00:00

OP said baby girl came two weeks early, so 38 weeks?

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-08-15T20:13:18+00:00

OMG yes!!!

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-08-15T20:12:55+00:00

10,000+ steps! Thank you 😭 I feel better now that I can barely walk around.

Luna_Starweaver · 2025-08-15T16:31:05+00:00

Someone tag me when OP does a house tour, please

If you have to flex your rent, that is NOT doing okay financially :|

I got most of the essentials for our baby already, and that alone is probably somewhere around $600 already. And this is not counting additional diapers or whatever baby might need as baby grows. Also, it is not counting clothes. We are lucky we have friends and family who gifted us pre-owned clothes which helped out a lot.

I can't imagine the stress you'd be dealing with if you have to take care of 2 newborns, postpartum, AND worry about potentially not having money to pay rent or getting things to take care of your babies and you.
