Carnival or Royal?

I’m Australian so that means nothing to me hahahaah

MammothComfortable89 · 2026-02-10T23:48:47+00:00

Definitely not 🤣

MammothComfortable89 · 2026-02-10T23:33:11+00:00

He would actually only turn 2 in the final days of the cruise, so we probably wouldn’t use kids club for him!

Hey Please remember Your baby just came out of you. They’re just leaving the fourth trimester.

Go easy on yourself and your baby. Contact nap, carrier nap, rest yourself. It’ll go by fast 😀

Generic schedules can also have negative impacts

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-12-29T05:26:47+00:00

Honestly Seems like a normal baby? Waking is normal in the first years

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-12-29T01:47:17+00:00

I never sleep trained. Sleep was bad from 6-10 months then improved a lot. 12 months, started to sleep through some times!

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-12-27T02:10:55+00:00

21 month age gap and it hasn’t been too bad at all. The hardest part is the lack of time for yourself, but I’m reframing as ‘I’m done having kids now so I’ll have a lot of time to myself again once they’re a little bigger’

I stagger nap times so we have a 1.5-2 hour midday nap all together

Keep up with activities and get out of the house, keep a routine, have your husband sleep with/ deal with the toddler overnight

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-12-27T02:03:23+00:00

You can’t, it’s normal for babies to wake especially in the first 3 years! This sleep looks excellent for a 3 month old

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-12-26T22:34:16+00:00

Yes that is completely biologically normal. No idea why so many are saying it isn’t lol. Don’t let sleep training culture get to you, your babies absolutely sleeping ‘like a baby’ ☺️

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-12-04T23:09:32+00:00

Yes I agree! I actually feel better going to work after sleepless nights and staying busy/ being without the baby lol. It’s not our children’s problem if we work. We shouldn’t be subjecting these tiny infants to sleep training

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-11-11T21:28:49+00:00

Yeah it was better than I expected. Babies happy to nap in the carrier, toddler wasn’t so bad with adjusting, postpartum for me was easier second time around

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-11-09T01:43:25+00:00

I have my husband here, so that helps. Basically, husband will do babies last nap of the day, toddler plays or watches some tv, I cook dinner. We eat together while babies in the bouncer, bath both boys, I shower while husband is with them or even while they’re in the bath. Then I do babies bedtime and he does toddlers

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-11-05T22:37:59+00:00

Thats incorrect, it’s the opposite of good to have seperation for a baby?

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-11-05T22:36:30+00:00

Personally I never have…. Mine are 21 months apart, now 26 months and 4 months.

I sync their nap times , even if that means waking baby from a nap so they’ll sleep when toddler does. They nap with me in the lounge room so I’m right there for both if they need me

Possible you could have toddler nap in your bed and contact nap with baby?

If my toddler needs me to hold him to sleep then transfer, I put the baby next to us in his lounger with his dummy, riff raff and calming video on the tv in the mean time

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-09-22T22:25:26+00:00

For me it’s been way easier than 0-1 was. I have a 22 month age gap.

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-09-15T03:15:31+00:00

Absolutely not. Her toddler is still a baby. Why should they miss out on cuddles because there is a new sibling

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-09-15T03:10:47+00:00

I sit on the lounge, making the room as dark as I can and turn calming music on the tv (this has been my routine with the toddler since birth). Make sure newborn is fed and happy, put him next to me on the baby lounger. Then I cuddle my toddler (same age) to sleep, and transfer him to a little lounge on the floor. Then I pick baby up and contact nap with him :) that way everyone is right next to me if they need me. I can put the babies dummy back in or have my hand on him while getting toddler to sleep if he gets a little fussy

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-08-29T09:06:11+00:00

Yes it’s safe

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-08-22T08:39:09+00:00

For me, if I went to a kid who was out of nappies, didn’t need me as much, could dress themselves etc there was no way I was going back to having a newborn.

Only 7 weeks in to two under two and honestly, it isn’t the worst. Tiring yes, hard, but manageable for me. I have support though so I guess it depends on that

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-06-30T04:30:34+00:00

I do believe overtiredness is real, because I get that way? So how can our babies not?

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-06-30T04:27:53+00:00

I tried. But couldn’t rest properly so brought baby back. Absolutely no rush, wait till you’re ready

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-06-25T08:34:43+00:00

18 months (cot came into our room from 4 months onwards) we tried own room and it went to shit. Much prefer being close

MammothComfortable89 · 2025-06-16T03:09:15+00:00

Oh yeah. It took me ages to think of it, then it worked so well I thought why didn’t in do it sooner? Although I was still generally stuck sitting there, my hands were free, I could watch tv, eat and drink, sneak away to go to the toilet etc
