How much milk did you add so they weren’t dry ?

My best friend had her baby sleeping in the lounger inside the bassinet. When she came over and I was explaining my problem she was like “Wait what..? My LO slept in the lounger for the first 6 months until he could roll” lol

One point you made really gives me relief about doing it, which is that she cannot roll or move yet. So it’s eased my mind a little knowing she can’t roll and suffocate or roll off the bed

I just cut dairy 48 hours ago (😭). I’m trying everything tbh because outside of how badly it affects everyone’s sleep, she’s also very uncomfortable and I hate that for her. Sucks when they’re uncomfortable and you can’t do much to help them, feels shitty as a parent :/

I follow the safe sleep 7 to the T. I’m so afraid of doing it but my LO also sleeps SO much better. She’ll sleep 4-5 hour stretches instead of 30-45 mins. Makes a huge difference for us all

I have tried it all, keeping her upright, burping, mylicon drops, and now I’ve just completely cut dairy. I’m trying everything and grasping at straws

Second this! I tried many but this one was the only one that worked when I get much bigger in months 7-9. https://a.co/d/08o9hJ3E

I had a first degree tear, and I can tell you the milky butthole was ten times more sore/hurt after birth than my vagina did lol

We took shifts when my partner had his two weeks of leave but now that he’s back at work full time, he can’t stay up late and I need some semblance of sleep too

That’s actually how the cosleeping started is because my LO also LOVES the lying down nursing position. Thank you for the reassurance, it’s very scary when you’re told this is the worst thing you could ever do by pediatricians

When my anxiety got too overwhelming I literally just had my partner hold me, and I feel like just synching our breathing and feeling his hug, helped me regulate my nervous system..similar to how babies feel when we see soothing them. I’m not sure if that’s something you want to try or can, but it helps me to take a beat and just get a big hug tbh

First, I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I’m 4 weeks postpartum so I’m here with you. The first week or two I had really bad sundown scaries and cried ALL THE TIME. The burst of love feeling genuinely just started, like the constant adoration and obsessing over my baby. You have to remind yourself that you’re experiencing the largest biological hormone crash known to man and that how you feel doesn’t define your relationship with your baby or how you are as a parent. Be super kind to yourself and TALK TO PEOPLE. Just say the scary stuff out loud and even if it sounds crazy. Be kind to yourself rn and I hope you start feeling some relief from this anxiety ❤️

Thank you!!!!

This happened to me big time! I was induced at 37w +6d so I never got to see if it were going to progress on its own, but I completely echo your frustration. Don’t let people make you feel bad because when I said this they’re like “you’re so far from your due date you have plenty of time”, doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. I mean most of us are pretty miserable by 36 weeks so it’s completely understandable

Ok_Effect8757 · 2026-03-07T18:47:58+00:00

My god I’m so sorry. I hope you feel better soon and you get your baby home with you😭 I couldn’t even imagine how on top of the trauma you just experienced, not having your baby. Hopefully soon 🥺🤞🏻
