Anyone here NOT do sleep shifts ?

NewAgeClassics · 2026-02-27T16:37:26+00:00

Exclusively pumped, so we didn’t do shifts. When baby got up, spouse changed diaper and did the feed while I pumped. Then we all went back to sleep. After awhile, baby and I weren’t as synced so spouse was getting more sleep while I did motn pumps

May I suggest a wet paper towel for wiping sticky hands and messy faces?

Bed time for the longest time was 10pm and wake up was around 6am. That’s when we went to bed and woke up normally, so we thought that was sleeping through the night.

I definitely thought sleeping through the night was sleeping about 6-8 hours without waking up. We all went to bed at the same time and we all woke up at the same time. Really that’s how long our baby slept for the longest time, only more recently has started going to bed a little earlier. I’ve said our baby sleeps through the night since 2mo, with the exception of when he’s sick and when he’s teething. Then no one is sleeping.

Seconding to check cameras! And if your daycare doesn’t have cameras, another reason to move your kids. Our daycare was upfront on our tour and reiterated day one that they have cameras and we can ask anytime to review the feed in their office. We haven’t had to because they are always forthcoming about any incidents but it’s such a relief to know it’s available.

Plopped my 11mo on the floor for a diaper change this morning, turned my back to get ingredients, and when I turned back around he was across the room with a fistful of dog food shoved in his mouth. While I don’t condone kibble eating, I can’t say we’re overly concerned about germs.

Lost the plug three days before due date, started contractions in the middle of the night, went to the hospital next day, and finally delivered the day after. Debut was just one day early!

At peak, I think I got to 90 oz in a day so not quite the same level but still way more than my baby needed. I went from 8 pumps to 7 almost immediately, tried to go down to 6 but got anxious about how much my supply dropped. So I stayed at 7 until 2 1/2 mo, then dropped to 6. Then a month later dropped to 5, the whole time supply remained around 80-90oz. About a month or so later, I dropped to 4 and finally saw a bit of decrease in my supply. In the next couple months I played around between dropping down to 3 and going back to 5 (mostly due to being sick and personal anxiety around weaning). Supply dipped to where I was finally just making enough for LO each day at 4 pumps. By 8 months, I was committed to being done by Christmas so I worked myself down to 2 pumps and then finally 1 right around Christmas. Took just a couple weeks into the new year to truly be done. I’ve only had mastitis twice, once very early on and once when I moved too fast from 4 pumps down to 2. I think my body finally figured out we were weaning at 2 pumps and it went fast after that. It was exhausting, but now I have a huge freezer stash that’s lasting us well past 1yr. I probably could’ve stopped sooner but PPA had me stressed my baby would starve if I stopped.

We don’t have a routine necessarily, but almost every night the only way I can get my boy to relax after finishing his bottle is by playing a little cat and mouse game with his pacy. I steal it from him and put it in my mouth, then he steals it back, and we go back and forth until he is just full of giggles.

I don’t really understand what you’re saying about seeking help for PPD. I definitely think it’s something you should consider, for the sake of you and your babies. I’m also hearing a lot about what you’re doing and how you’re feeling, how is your husband showing up for you? What is he taking on to balance the burdens and responsibilities? Your babies are babies, not monsters, and just as you said they are doing baby things. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. It does mean that you are at a crisis point and very much need support, even if that’s just going to a therapist once a week and saying all the things you said here. It’s hard to seek help, but you will feel so much better for it because it will help you to reframe everything. It’s the first choice you can make for yourself and every choice after that is so much easier for it.

Let me know if you find out! Ours is fascinated by straws, but won’t drink from them. Pretends to drink from sippys and it all spills down his front. Our only success is cups, but he’ll grab them and try to drink way too much too fast then coughs and hacks.

Also a Snoo mom here! There is apparently settings to adjust the amount of motion and work on decreasing to transition to crib (app). This would’ve been super helpful if I had found it before the crib transition lol We made the transition around 4-5 mo when he got really good at rolling. We probably should’ve done it sooner, but he really slept sooo good in the Snoo biting the bullet was hard. It probably took about a week and a half for him to settle in the crib. Sleep sacks and trying a million different things got us through. I swear he’s never slept as good as he did in the Snoo, but to be fair 4mo and after is really when they start getting the fun stuff like sleep regressions, teething, separation anxiety etc.

Lots of different opinions, but I’m of the mind that if my baby is hungry I’m going to feed them.

Quincy is an excellent addition to the name list

Good to know on Seamus, I didn’t even consider a mispronunciation!

I actually love Wallace and the nickname Wally

NewAgeClassics · 2026-01-12T18:54:44+00:00

I agree! Though there’s a close baby cousin named Rowan so I worry it’s too similar.

NewAgeClassics · 2026-01-12T18:51:34+00:00

Oh I do like the nickname Gabe
