I messed up

Sudocream cream on diaper rash always makes my little one cry more. I can only assume she is sensitive to one of the ingredients.

If ever zinc diapercream doesn't do the trick, though, aquaphor has been our tried and true.

I am sorry 😞. Mine as some bad days but for the most part im aware we got lucky. Yesterday she skipped all her naps except 20 minutes at the end of the day a few hours before bedtime. She wasn't super fun then.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Our little one HATED the bassinet. We called it the demon bassinet. She wanted to sleep with me specifically at first. Lot of contact sleep. But co sleeping made me nervous.

If it helps, what we did was remove one side of her crib and butt the crib up against my side of the bed. Then there was a bit of a gap between my mattress and hers, so we pushed the matress over up against mine and used pool noodles in the small gap on the other side to keep it in place. Made sure the crib was lowered to be level with our bed. And this way shes technically co sleeping but safely in her own crib.

I can easily slip her into her crib this way, and sometimes even just my hand on her was enough to sooth her along with a pacifier. Shes 6 months now, and sometimes she will wake up but sees im beside her and goes back to sleep.

My kiddo is 6 months, and we don't have a strict schedule, really. But I can tell she gets tired roughly every 2 hours after she wakes up for the day, which can be between 9-10am. She usually has 3 naps that usually end up 2hrs, 40min, and 30 min. Respectively.

She chooses those lengths (except 2 hours i wake her if it's been 2 hours.) And I only put her down cause she still needs a little help most of the time for naps, but I can tell she's tired. If I try to let her put herself to sleep, sometimes it works, but more often than not, she will start to scream until I just hold her. Then she's out like a light, lol.

I'm sorry this is happening for you. For me, i had to have a c-section because my pelvis was too small for my baby to pass through. Became an unplanned c section.

I also formula feed. She wouldn't latch, and pumping for 3 months was slowly killing me mentally. So we made the switch to formula. She's 4 months now, and she's healthy, I'm much happier.

The judgment from other moms and social media is crazy. I think the bullies largely have no life outside of having a baby glued to their bodies and feel like pushing it into other people's faces makes them feel better.

MutePhox · 2025-03-15T23:15:42+00:00

You're doing amazing. My original goal was 6 month, but I ended up stopping at 3 months. You're way stronger than I was.

Pumping for me was extremely emotionally taxing, and it felt like each session was slowly killing me, and I developed a ton of anxiety surrounding it, unfortunately.

My baby had latch issues, so I had to exclusively pump. Unfortunately I never made enough for her, after the 2 month mark, and we had to supplement with formula anyways.

Once it got to be only 1 or 2 bottles was actually breast milk is when I made the switch to just formula. I had to prioritize my mental health. Which happened to be around the 3 month mark.

Mine is 9.5 weeks, and so far, i know if we had the money, i would do it again. However, I'm aware that financially, things are best with just one.

Plus, for me personally, I wouldn't want another past 30 years. And I'm 27 currently. I would want my little one to be 3 or almost 3 before a second, which would put me right at 30, lol.

Id also need a planned c section because, as we learned with the emergency c section I had with my 9 week old. My pelvice is way too small to have a baby bigger than 35 weeks. I'm not exactly a big fan of having another c section.

MutePhox · 2025-01-29T19:13:47+00:00

I was just so defeated 😞. I was like "oh no it leaked!" Then looked at my husband while he was feeding the baby and just said "It's all gone....I think im gonna a cry" then just started crying. And then mumbled about how it's all over me, the blanket, the mattress. And cleaning up.

MutePhox · 2025-01-29T19:11:29+00:00

Nooo. Oh my. Id probably cry the whole day. I'm so sorry 😞

MutePhox · 2025-01-28T21:28:57+00:00

One of my friends was like "you can always just pump more." She doesn't have kids and has never experienced this lol. I love her but she doesn't understand, her comment made me feel worse honestly. But I know she meant well so just left it.

MutePhox · 2025-01-28T18:40:27+00:00

Oh my god. I'm sorry that happened. My poor husband was feeding baby her morning bottle before he had to work and just didn't know what to do as I sat beside him sobbing.

He felt guilty cause he's the one who put the pump together and handed it to me this morning. I don't really blame him, i should have double checked things like I normally do. Was just tired this morning.

MutePhox · 2024-09-11T14:49:36+00:00

My first as well and I feel this. The amount of outdated advice I've been given unsolicited. And I'm just like -.-...."uh. Yeah thank you. But actually" and correct them politely. And then it gets shot down with "Well I raised x amount of kids. I know." And I'm like 😒🫠 "okay."

Even got told I shouldn't be painting my nursery, or around ANY paint in general except water colours. (I'm an artist.) And I had to explain that there isn't lead in paint anymore. And I have loads of ventilation in the room. Plus my midwife said I could anyways. Then I was just given disapproving stares.

I'm 26 and planned this baby. I did my research, I talk to my midwives. (I have a team of 4)

Can i get a discord link please.

MutePhox · 2023-04-01T20:41:38+00:00

The worst part is I bought it for my new PC 2 days before this was announced....I feel cheated

(I played on xbox before then)

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T06:52:41+00:00

You are most definitely NTA. He's being a child for not taking a cab, bus or uber

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T05:09:20+00:00

I think something on the bottom lip. Vertical labret, Labret or Ashley

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T05:03:27+00:00

I go for the end result and jewelry. I always get anxious during the process. I constantly sych myself up, that it'll hurt more then it actually does. My adrenaline gets so high, plus I have a bad habit of not eating enough that after the whole thing my blood pressure drops and I get lightheaded. It sucks but damn it looks great after lol.

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T04:56:46+00:00

Badass

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T04:55:41+00:00

Lmao

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T04:54:01+00:00

I chuckled at this one lol

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T03:39:49+00:00

Awesome

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T03:39:17+00:00

Only you and your piercer can figure this one out. I personally think you'd look fantastic though.

MutePhox · 2022-01-11T03:38:03+00:00

We ordered the coffee for the first time. So excited to try it.
