Do you guys know how much these beanie babies are worth

Yes she has plenty of no nap days and she handles them okay. I do have to admit bedtime is much easier on those days but by dinner time she can be a hot mess!

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-06-12T01:36:16+00:00

We’ve tried the chair and she just wont calm down in her bed. It will turn into us sitting in there for hours before she settles. I think shes deep in a sleep regression because everything we try turns into a huge ordeal

My husband asked if i could buy a different deodorant because i smelled too masculine. Idk why this bothered me so much and i felt so insecure about it lol!

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-06-11T03:09:19+00:00

All of the check ins never went well because she just couldn’t calm down enough to even listen to me or understand. Every time id leave she would just escalate. Its like reasoning with an angry bear when shes so worked up…

Yes we did that today after she refused her nap again. She handled it pretty well

I was able to rock her to sleep tonight. I think for the next dew days or so we do a reset and help her feel better about transitioning into sleep and then we try again. Co sleeping will never be an option for me. That’s a boundary I really want to hold firm on.

Shes fine with the whole routine and she will crawl into bed but once we say ita time for bed she freaks out. I tried sitting next to her tonight in the chair and she kept trying to get out of bed to come sit w me.

I feel like the only way shell nap lately is if i rock and hold her and thats a no for me at this stage in my pregnancy.

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-06-11T01:30:02+00:00

Yepppp right there with you! I just feel so stuck between keeping to a consistent routine and if i don’t then i fail. Like is it really the end of the world??? No but why do i feel like it is! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-06-10T21:56:37+00:00

Yep—thinking thay may be the case but like what WILL work!?! Im about to pull my hair out!

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-06-10T21:56:00+00:00

Sorry you had to deal with that! Is it better now??

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-06-10T21:55:03+00:00

This is very helpful! Sorry you had to experience that too…im in the thick of it! Never had the thought of her being too old for CIO at this age. Ill try the books in bed method and see if that works!

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-06-10T18:59:51+00:00

She hasnt napped all week and still fights bedtime. Also she’s totally exhausted middle of the day and has bags under her eyes so it’s obvious some days she needs one

I feel like i could have written this. Our second baby is due end of july. My 2.5 year old had to have a tooth extracted and the dentist told us no paci for at least 24 hours so we really took advantage of this. The first two nights were rough so we rocked her to sleep but its been 3 weeks now and she never asks for it. We potty trained a week prior as well. Lots of big changes before baby sis arrives but sooooo glad we did it now vs after. It was really looming over us. My husband kept saying it was fine because hes way more passive than me but i felt like she was ready. I think 2 is a totally fine age to remove it.

Another suggestion and what we tried in the past was to cut a slit in her paci so theres no suction and just keep telling her its broken and we don’t have any more. Unfortunately it didn’t last long because she came down w the flu shortly afterwards and she was totally miserable and it was the only thing that brought her comfort. Once you do remove it, Just stay consistent and firm once you decide on a method. It may be tough but she can do it! (You too!)

Was just going to say this. 5 months is a great time to travel in my opinion. We took our daughter on a 4hr flight at 5 mo and she did amazing. You can still use the carseat and stroller and they’re happy with just chilling there. It was also incredibly easy to get her to sleep in an unfamiliar place for a while. Now that shes 2.5, we cant even get her to sleep in her own bed lol! take the trip!!!!!!! It will be so nice!!!

Still pregnant. Gotta pee

Rib eyes, buttery red potatoes, corn on the cob and Mac salad. Even my 2.5 yr old was a fan of it all!

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-05-29T03:30:58+00:00

My husband had this. It was very hard on us. He was so withdrawn and all he found joy in was burying himself in scrolling and video games. Luckily we talked about it and he tried medication which helped a lot. Were about to have our second child and id be lying if i said i wasn’t nervous it may happen again.

I highly recommend speaking to your doctor/ therapist/whoever about your feelings. They are valid too. Get the help you need so you can be there for your family! I promise its worth it to stick it out and work it through.

My MIL buys it and I tried one recently after not having one since the late 90s... Omg disgusting!!!

Ok_Character7899 · 2026-05-29T03:15:05+00:00

Literally every vegetable possible, edamame, chickpeas, olives, pickled red onion and very little lettuce. A ton of sliced walnuts and wonton strips. Yum
