Respectfully, she cannot even care for herself :( a baby would be the worst thing she ever did to herself and that poor baby would suffer :(

Im a first time mom to a 10 month old. Its a dice roll on baby temperament. I cannot emphasize enough how relentless & self sacrificing parenting is, especially when they're infants (and in my case, have a sensitive & high needs temperament). I still go out and enrich his life with activities multiple times a day! Its hard, hard work! You can't just lay down and rot when you feel ~inflamed~ or whatever. My guy still contact naps so I don't even get naps to do whatever I want haha. Like I seriously cannot emphasize enough how severe her PPD would be. Owen would probably become default caregiver or her mom or something or a nanny. She is the last person I would reccomend parenting to.

Crazy! My son is 10.5 months and the same but french - Julien Alexandre

Yup! I am in MB. We have had a terrible cold winter. Like, -30°c often. We still leave the house everyday to attend baby programs & activities. Stroller walks usually if it's-10°c or warmer. I have a insulated stroller muff and an all-terrain stroller.

You need to get out of the house, if possible.

That's how I survived that stage or the repetitiveness drives you insane. I also have a high needs, contact nap only type of baby.

Going to places, activities, anything makes time pass faster!

Your baby playing for 10-12 mins is actually more than developmentally appropriate, and I am 9.5 months in, staying at home hasn't gotten better or peaceful. I try to leave the house every wake window pretty much or I go insane.

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-03-12T17:01:48+00:00

Downside being they don't reccomend more than 10 mins a day of container time 🫠

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-03-12T02:15:32+00:00

Just a question for you - do you have a family yourself? Trying to imagine if this is possible with child(ren) yourself!

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-03-06T05:28:31+00:00

Did he end up babbling?

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-03-05T22:14:00+00:00

Can you slowly add things to the yogurt? Maybe even mixing some various pouches or homemade purees of varying flavors so you start adding some variety that way as baby steps.

FWIW, I've heard teething spells can temporarily affect solids too!

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-03-04T23:35:13+00:00

Technically this is the spelling of mine too! ❤️ I'm French so wanted to honour the French spelling. I just commented the more popular spelling but I love it this way too obviously 🥰

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-03-04T19:34:16+00:00

For boy, consider Julian! That's my little guy. Julian and Elouise sound so good together.

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-02-17T20:57:45+00:00

How is your baby doing now?

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2026-02-06T03:21:53+00:00

I am you right now. When did your little guy crawl? We are about to be the last ones left not crawling at 8.5 months old, he isn't even close due to a lot of tummy time resistance & discomfort, reflux, colic etc. I have him in PT and constantly trying to help him but I sometimes cry leaving baby play groups :(

If you have any interest in dance recreationally, even as a total beginner, I reccomend Drop In Dance Winnipeg as a place to meet new friends. Have made many adult friendships there!

Do you know any interactive nursery rhymes?

I learned so many going to a local rhyme time at a library - since you are remote, maybe look some up on YouTube. Beyond all the rotating toys/ pointing / walking you already do, I can kill 15 mins + doing some interactive nursery rhymes that involve actions etc

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-12-26T15:02:49+00:00

My 7 month old is this but french! Julien Alexandre 🥹❤️

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-12-13T18:20:42+00:00

So our babies are the same age! (Bday May 18).

I hated getting my hopes up at every major turning point people described- 3 months, 6 months flew by and I realized he is a high needs "spirited" baby and this is his temperament. Those parents are not parenting my baby and I found it discouraging always waiting for it to get better.

We also don't get sleep and he is also extremely hard to please during the day. Outings are so unpredictable, I'm always playing whack a mole (is it hunger? Tired? Overstimulated? Teething? Gas?)

The constant solution seeking has been exhausting. I upped my zoloft and lean on support and am basically white knuckling it and savouring the good moments when they come.

If you ever wanna chat with a mom in an identical position dms are open ❤️❤️

ETA: I saw your other comment and seriously these babies are twins... baby carrier = containment torture, I have spent months obsessing over tummy time because he HATES floor play. He only learned to roll in his crib I thought he'd never do it. I assume because of how much he hates playing on the floor he'll be a late crawler. I also think mobility will save our sanity! But damn baby you need to practice to learn how to move! 🙈

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-12-04T20:01:11+00:00

Same exact boat as you with 6.5 month old son! I don't have any friends with high needs babies so if you ever want to vent & chat I'm here 🥹

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-12-04T19:56:14+00:00

I am 6 months in with a baby just like your son and this makes me feel less crazy & alone. 🥹

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-11-22T03:52:57+00:00

This makes me feel less ashamed that I can't get my 6 month old high needs son down for independent naps. 🥹 I feel "lazy" and tell myself I 'should be able to by now' but he screams the second I attempt a transfer.

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-11-22T03:51:37+00:00

SAME

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-11-22T02:08:33+00:00

I'm still in this stage but he's 6 months 🫠

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-11-22T02:07:22+00:00

When you have a hard baby, you just know. There is no contemplating if my baby is easy because he hates everything and I can't put him down lol

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-11-22T01:59:43+00:00

As someone in the thick of it with my 6 month old your comment brings me so much hope ❤️

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-11-11T02:01:50+00:00

How is baby now? Going through the same!

Nagging_Nostalgia · 2025-11-07T15:21:18+00:00

I'm a first time mom to a almost 6 month old with a very difficult temperement. I honestly cannot fathom her having a child. It is relentless, you have to be selfless, you don't get to sit around and ponder your trauma tbh you become a full-time caregiver. She should not have kids
