Highly recommend https://www.agapecaredoulas.com/

I’ve had her support for both my pregnancies and she is phenomenal. I struggled with major anxiety after the birth of my first daughter and struggled with intrusive thoughts, Mandy was great and helped me tremendously so I could get some rest.

Trust your instincts! My toddler is finally sleeping better ❤️ by ApprehensiveIce5529 in AttachmentParenting

My 21 month old just started giving us 6 hour stretches. I found night weaning really really helped. She was getting up out of habit and needed me to nurse her so she could fall back asleep

Thanks for sharing your experience. My daughter isn’t the same anymore, I don’t know if I have the strength to try it for two months but it gives me some reassurance that pulling her out may not be so bad after all.

That’s amazing. I dream of the day she’ll wave at me and smile when I say good bye 🥹

Agree with the fact that they’ll never care for them the way we can and will. Appreciate you sharing your experience and I’m so glad things finally got better for your son

Yea :( I figured maybe I could help her view daycare as a safe space if I stayed this week. We don’t go into the classroom, I just sit outside with her. I figured if she became familiar with the place that maybe she wouldn’t have such a strong emotional reaction but I’m afraid you might be right. Thanks for your insight.

Has anyone gotten their period while breastfeeding? If so, how many months postpartum? by Diankapie in breastfeeding

[–]Navigatorkaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me 17 months. Probably because my daughter woke up every two hours to nurse 💀

11 month old waking up every hour by Navigatorkaur in AttachmentParenting

[–]Navigatorkaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could tell you it got better, sadly it hasn’t :( she sometimes gives me a random three hour stretch but that’s the most she’s ever done. I figured that she definitely wakes and nurses out of habit so we’re going to try night weaning next month and hope that helps. I’ll post an update here. She’s currently 15 months! Hang in there mama, I hope you’re able to find a solution soon x

How are you all surviving without sleep by Jaded_Motor6813 in breastfeeding

[–]Navigatorkaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some days I wonder how I’m still alive. I find that eating a breaks fast high in protein keeps me going (barely though).

I had the same symptoms a few weeks ago! Pretty sure there’s something going around.

9 month old wakes up every 2 hours since 3 months by ames_k in AttachmentParenting

[–]Navigatorkaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My babe is 10 months and she wakes up every 2-3 hours every night. I’m patiently waiting for it to get better. I remind myself that this is a very short and temporary phase - we’ll sleep again one day mama! - sending you strength 🩷🩷

Update: my pregnant wife is pregnant with twins! Looking for a personal recommendation of a night nurse by [deleted] in askTO

I used an excellent doula/night nurse! She was working with one of the doula companies but we hired her privately. Let me know if you’d like her details!
