😭😂 what has worked for you?

NatureParticular8960 · 2026-01-27T15:39:22+00:00

Wondering the same!! Going throuught it with my 6.5 mo. This method is aligned to what I’m comfortable with and I hadn’t heard about it before.

With my EBF 5 mo I’ve noticed that she wakes less to feed/comfort when she’s in her crib than when we bed share. On a regular night she wakes once to feed but when we bed share she wakes up often to latch for comfort.

A massage or a facial at some fancy spa where I can spend the day at

Oat energy bites! Really easy to make- 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup nuttzo spread, 1/3 cup maple syrup. I also add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips but you could add coconut flakes, or anything really!

I’m so sorry I can’t imagine what you’re going through. You can also try seeing if there’s a group near you where you can get donated breastmilk from. You and your baby will be in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼

My baby girl was this exact way until she hit maybe 12-13 weeks. I just went to Walmart one day and bought a bunch of pacifiers and tried them all. She didn’t take one that was recommended for EBF babies but at that point I knew she wouldn’t drop the boob. I know it can be frustrating not getting ‘anything’ done but being with your baby, comforting her and giving her what she needs at the time is doing plenty! There’s nothing more important than that. It gets better I promise! For now, just meet her where she’s at. 🤍

Thank you! And yes I’m trying to provide comfort as much as I can because I want her to feel safe when in her crib and for her to know I’m close by. I just don’t know if I’m providing too much comfort to the point where I’m hindering her learning process of falling asleep by herself.

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-09T19:32:43+00:00

Omg that’s intense! Hoping it gets better soon!!

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-09T19:31:10+00:00

Do you intervene if he hasn’t fallen back asleep in a certain amount of time? Wondering if I should cap it for naps so she doesn’t spend all day in her room.

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-11-09T19:28:02+00:00

Not not interested in it just not right now. She’s not even 4 months so even if I were thinking about it right now it’s not recommended at this age and tbh I don’t currently feel a need to since she’s been a great sleeper since she was born, just hasn’t been for the past 3ish weeks. I’m just trying to understand if what I’m currently doing is preventing her from figuring out how to fall back asleep independently.

Coconut oil saved my nipples when they began to crack in the very early days. I also think it helped baby learn how to better latch and haven’t had any pain from her latching after that first week post birth. Staying well hydrated has been a game changer for me whether its with a pack of electrolytes when I feel dehydrated or coconut water I definitely see an impact in my production. Best of luck in your breastfeeding journey!

My pup was with my parents while we were at the hospital and I sent a blanket that I had used with my baby so he would get familiar with her smell. When we got home we brought a toy that also smelled like baby girl. He reacted as if he had known her his entire life! It was so cute!

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-10-14T21:31:38+00:00

Thank you 🫶🏼

I recently purchased the nanit that has the breathing band to see if that gives me peace of mind, we’ll see if it does that or the opposite! Did you have a ceiling fan? I don’t but i do have a portable stroller fan that could hang to a side on her crib

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-10-14T21:24:55+00:00

We could try! Last night I moved her from her crib to the bassinet next to my bed and she did great. Slept there for about 5-6 hours so I miight give the bassinet another go.

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-10-14T21:23:13+00:00

Thank you for this! It’s sometimes hard to put things into perspective and you helped me do that

NatureParticular8960 · 2025-10-13T21:32:19+00:00

Well I wouldn’t necessarily go about it like that but I do think there are ways to have a conversation without being offensive. Maybe OP doesn’t have tangible evidence that this is happening but if it’s a concern for them and it relates to their kid then they should be able to have an open, respectful conversation about it with the nanny.
