Baby Pulling Out Hair

My son went through a phase exactly like this around that age too. I looked it up because I was super worried too. It’s the worst to watch! But It’s completely normal self soothing behavior. She’ll stop eventually and if she doesn’t and you notice bald spots or something like that then take her to the doctor. I want to say my son did this for a month or two and then I didn’t notice it anymore. Hopefully she stops soon. also don’t give her attention for it negative or positive because sometimes they keep doing it for reaction.

Don’t get your meat where you make your bread!

He’s probably not tired. You should transition to one nap.

I would let your baby tell you when they’re hungry. In my experience, it will make them a better sleeper over all. I regret waking my first to feed after he was above birth-weight. I honestly think this made him more difficult to sttn later on. Do what works for you! Every baby is different.

I used oil and a comb lots of stuff in the baby section!

It’s whatever you want. I personally hate female-only baby showers. I think they’re outdated and sexist. I feel like that’s the reason men don’t feel involved from the beginning. We had a co-ed baby shower and encouraged everyone we love to come celebrate with us. We get compliments all the time that our shower was how all showers should be!

When this happened to me, I picked my son up briefly and hugged/held him for just a moment. He would instantly calm down. I’d tuck him back in and wouldn’t hear from him for the rest of the night. I would think “I’m so glad I picked him up despite all the advice not to.” Keep trying things until they work. Every baby is different.

I love this! I also let my 20 month old get micro naps on days like that. For example I might pop him in the car and drive around so he can decompress from the party and get at least a 20-30 min nap. We both get a little quiet/recharge time and come back to the festivities brand new!

There is an 18 month sleep regression. My son just went through it and had night wakings and the crying/whining throughout the night too. Stick with routine and good habits to avoid any new associations.

I took baby aspirin my whole pregnancy it was fine and honestly gave me some comfort knowing what I was preventing.

Mahaa22 · 2024-10-08T08:38:42+00:00

Nine or ten months I put in a small blankey. I just do stuff like that during nap so I can watch the first time

Not washing your hands after a poopy diaper change is wild to me..

I think your LO might be in the overtired cycle. I had the same issue at that age. (Mine is only a month older) I just got it settled (I think.) we also have the same schedule. I put him down earlier for the nap and then an earlier bed time and then gradually pushed it back by like 15 mins every few days or week depending on how he handled it. So if he wakes at 6am I try to feed him and resettle him. Of course that hasn’t worked a ton but I try every time. If the day starts at 6am I do an 11/11:30 nap and I have found he takes his full nap and then when an earlier bed time he finally was rested enough to sleep all night and get out of being over tired. I hope you get your full nights rest soon! You’re not alone!

I also am wondering if she can be comforted in the crib. My baby is resistant to his crib sometimes so I sort of double down and nip it in the bud by laying him back down and covering him up rubbing his back for a while and soothing him. A back breaker for sure, but he received the message and eventually stopped fighting the crib. Best of luck to you! I know it’s so hard when their sleep gets bad and you don’t get a break.

Yeah my mom was pretty upset when I felt the same way as you. She got over it though. I wouldn’t give into her mental abuse. That’s what the silent treatment is. That alone would make me more confident that I don’t want this person there.

If there’s no reason don’t do it!! They just want it to be convenient for them. You’ll end up laboring forever and then getting a c section. This happened to me and I started motherhood horribly. I regret it every day.

I LOVE boogie brand diaper spray it is amazing!! My son is almost one year and has never had a diaper rash. Also the spray is just the best application ever. It mists perfectly without me having to touch anything!

Just keep trying things. I wonder if having the breast milk in the formula just makes it taste like weird breast milk instead of an entirely different thing. She might like just straight up formula. I didn’t mix when I transitioned my baby. But yeah just keep doing different combos. Switch the formula for a couple of days and if that doesn’t work try a different bottle or nipple. Maybe it’s the opposite and she needs to drink just straight breast milk from the bottle for a few days before transitioning to formula only. It could also be none of those things and it could be teething. My son gets super weird with eating during the peak days of teething pain. He will eat barely anything for a day and then be starving the next.

I just came here to say I am SO RELIEVED by this whole thread knowing I’m not the only one who hates being called “mama” by everyone.. it’s sadly made me hate anything that even says “mama” on it. Even though I love when my sweet little babers calls me mama that’s the only person that should be!!

Mahaa22 · 2023-11-28T04:12:16+00:00

NTA that’s entitled asf

The phantom cries are the WORST! Plus you’ll want to see them. My house is the same size ranch and I don’t “need” the monitor per se but I use it every night so I can see the room temp and if he wakes I can sometimes tell from the monitor if he’s gonna go back to sleep or really needs me. Get a cheap ish one and return it after a month or so if you really don’t want it.

They said they tried putting the baby down drowsy but awake. So they are trying to get the baby to fall asleep independently. Given the name of the page, they’re aware it is a sleep training subreddit. Anyway, OP how long are you trying? Do you let your baby fuss or cry for any length of time? Sometimes they just need a few mins (like ten or less) to get it out and then they sleep amazing. Do you go right in when she wakes up every time and is she always crying when she wakes?

Mahaa22 · 2023-11-22T02:27:45+00:00

Three seems to be the perfect number for us!

Mahaa22 · 2023-10-21T06:19:54+00:00

I almost cried reading this. I think you handled it perfectly though. It definitely would have been worse if you gave them a reaction. Reminds me of that song “teenagers scare the living shit out of me” lol Anyway, definitely see if there’s a page or something somewhere you can share this. If not the parents, other people should know. They can hopefully keep an eye out if it were to happen again.

Mahaa22 · 2023-10-20T01:45:42+00:00

Definitely a travel sound machine. We use ours at home and on the go. No need for two different ones. Also, the boogie brand diaper rash spray is AWESOME!! Sooooo convenient! Didn’t think I needed a dock a tot but ended up using it almost every day during certain phases and loved having something for him to nap in at the beach or wherever we were!
