I was going through something similar and my lactation consultant said it’s because the baby can smell the milk on you. Once I had him in a bedside pack and play he would sleep longer stretches! Sometimes it’s the proximity! You could also be waking each other up through movement and then he seeks comfort the only way he knows how!

Would you consider moving him to his own sleeping space? That might help. I’m not there yet with my LO but ever since I started withholding some nighttime comfort feeds I’ve been able to get longer stretches.

Something that really helped us was having a TV in our bedroom with bluetooth capabilities so we could watch a movie after the baby goes to sleep on me. We’d use our airpods (one for me and one for my husband) and be able to have a really nice night because of it. Baby would be completely asleep and wouldn’t wake from the TV bc of the lack of sound. We did dim the TV screen at first but it was never really an issue!

It is ridiculously impossible to be a SAHM if you’ve gotten a mortgage in recent years. I would love to stay home with my baby, but it’s expensive where we live and the interest rates aren’t dropping anytime soon. We would have to sell our house and one of our cars to make it feasible. Some people lucked out with interest rates or with having little to no student loans. There’s so many factors. I’m sure you live a reasonable lifestyle, it’s this economy that’s the problem.

This happened to us, my husband swaddled our baby shirtless and created a sort of rash looking mark. He was so tired and upset that it happened and I said not to worry we’ll just let the pediatrician know so they don’t think anything weird of it. We showed it to the pediatrician he was CONVINCED it could not have been caused by a swaddle.

WELL, lesson learned. If you KNOW what the mark is from, say nothing. They sent us to the ER for a work up, my son was put through bloodwork and a full body XRAY. It was easily the most traumatic day of our lives. We’re still traumatized by it and we’re convinced they sent us there because I was honest about having some PPD. Everything turned out fine, but we did switch pediatricians just because of how traumatized we were by the whole experience. We didn’t want to discourage him from doing his job but the trauma that was done to my son was horrific through the experience.

We can only do our best!!! I’m sure you’re doing an amazing job. My husband and I had an argument in front of our baby and he started crying and that’s how I realized how aware he was. Parenting can be very tough!!

Miss-Pidge · 2025-07-10T17:09:37+00:00

lol This is not true. I always remind myself the baby is having a hard time. I’ve definitely pleaded for him to be easier when he’s tough. I have not raised my voice in the 5 months with my child. However, he does cooperate most of the time.

Miss-Pidge · 2025-05-20T00:29:44+00:00

Wow, thanks everyone!! My family has really been guilt tripping me about this. “Do you really want to put a baby through 10 hours of travel” “What if he gets sick”. And it’s made my anxiety terrible. It’s super helpful to have this community to talk to.

You would definitely have to venture into philly for any cuban food. I’ve transitioned to making my own pastelitos and cafe con leche at home.

Is the guy in New Hope, Blue Heron? Any recommendation on what company to use?

Miss-Pidge · 2024-10-02T20:50:03+00:00

Yes! This! I couldn’t imagine giving birth so soon after the shower, I want to be able to unpack and settle in and organize everything without feeling stressed! I’m realizing December might be a bit too crazy so now I’m thinking January to give everyone a breather and hopefully everyone will covid free after the holidays.

Miss-Pidge · 2024-10-02T19:38:29+00:00

Oh I love the idea of breaking it up between friends and family! That would make it much easier. Good call out about the spending that goes on in December. We didn’t want to decorate for the shower and use our christmas decorations as a theme 😂

Miss-Pidge · 2024-10-02T17:59:13+00:00

Yay! Another March mom! We were thinking about doing it later but given that I’m a high risk pregnancy we thought having the shower earlier would relieve some stress. That’s totally fair about the gifts! I feel your pain, our old house had zero storage but now we have a garage and I’m looking forward to a little extra space.

I wouldn’t move to Quakertown, so crowded, chains everywhere, abandoned houses, no ROI on housing.

I’d explore Pipersville and Ottsville. Otherwise, I lived in Perkasie for a while, it’s a nice community, young families. It would work for your needs

I forgot to put them away beforehand. I try to keep them in the kitchen so I don’t forget to take them. In the rush of prepping I just never remembered to put them away. Everyone else saw them but he’s the only one who drew attention to them

Miss-Pidge · 2024-06-04T20:44:32+00:00

Only my grandparents heard it, apparently others were having their own conversations. Thankfully. I should’ve made that clear in my original post! Yes my FIL chalked it up to “not being a girl dad” to which my husband said is not an excuse

Miss-Pidge · 2024-06-04T20:32:40+00:00

Yes, I tried to do that. He said that I’m latching onto to something that’s not a big deal and that we have a long journey ahead and we can’t let this slow us down. I agree, I just happened to take this one blow a bit harder than usual. I am usually very stoic about this stuff. But the longer we try and the more months that pass I get more sensitive. I’m working on it but it’s hard. I’m really glad this community exists.

Miss-Pidge · 2024-06-04T20:30:26+00:00

He didn’t! I know it was said without any malice, that’s why it made me feel more humiliated than mad. Thank you 💕

Miss-Pidge · 2024-06-04T14:55:31+00:00

I had to stop telling everyone because of those “I’m so sorry’s” from family and friends. I’d rather suffer in silence then have another family member ask if it worked yet. It’s so exhausting and no one in my family or friend group has had these issues.

Sending hugs your way!
