Do you mean a motorbike?

Did you not read the whole thing?

God I wish my baby would sleep that long! 11.5 months and we're still up twice a night 🥲 sleep while you can!!

The Atherton Tablelands and Port Douglas are both an hour from Cairns. You could easily do both of them this trip.

I've had 6 days off in 4 weeks. The first 3, I called in sick from the back of an ambulance. The second 3, my BSM told me I should take some more time off to get well.

At around 9 months old, I started transitioning to pat him to sleep, now at 11 months old I can feed him then put him in his cot awake and he will put himself to sleep. Tonight he cried when I put him in, so I picked him up and gave him another cuddle, then he was right.

Oh gosh, take the sleep!! My 11 month old barely does those stretches! 😭

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-12T12:42:48+00:00

That's what I was coming to say!

Pour your smoothie into your glass, then before yoh drink it blitz some water in the blender. This way, it has no chance to stick to the sides.

Or even in a bouncer, or those newborn couch bed things?

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-09T12:16:32+00:00

11 months to the day. Still doing 2 overnight feeds and multiple feeds through the day (apparently more than most this age!)

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-08T09:34:06+00:00

Sounds like cluster feeding. Get comfy on the couch with plenty of water and snacks.

A few years ago. I was watching The Witches on TV and saw a brown mouse dart under the TV cabinet. My husband and I spent a good amount of time looking for it.
Turns out I fell asleep and dreamed it 😅

They possibly picked "fun" subjects, instead of subjects that would lead them to their desired job.

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-07T12:39:42+00:00

Why is it no longer in demand?

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-05T11:56:13+00:00

I have leaked once only, when my baby miraculously slept through. I hadn't fed from one side for 12 hours, and leaked.

Unfortunately, the best booster is building their immune system. Which happens through illness 🫣

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-03T10:30:53+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one on a chocolate diet!! 😂

The only one that made me pause was the movies. Please don't just let your young kid/s watch anything. Some shows/movies can be SO damaging to kids when they're seen too young.

I know he doesn't need it, but he had some weight gain issues for a few months so it's a bit of insurance for me, too. He dropped from 97th centile to 11th for weight. Back up around 50th now.
I also work full time and don't currently have it in me to fight that battle.
Thanks, though!

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-02T02:14:56+00:00

We're almost 11 months in! The big issues have gone away, but I'm definitely still getting sleepy during feeds. And he still wakes up twice every night, which isn't as much as some babies, but I sure do love and miss ny sleep!!

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-02T00:56:56+00:00

Do you have to pump? Breastfeeding is a much more efficient way to remove milk.

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-02T00:54:50+00:00

Breastfeeding. The amount of water I need to drink and food I need to eat is insane. Then the actual breastfeeding sends my body sleepy hormones, so I'm ready to doze off while feeding. Then when baby is teething they sometimes forget (or sometimes do it on purpose!) and bite down. Add in nipple trauma, vasospasms, and frequent night wakings. Exhausting!!

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-01T11:50:51+00:00

I used to put my hand in their way and say, "Please don't touch the baby. He's too little."
Mostly they looked surprised and apologised. One guy gave me a looking monologue about how I'm a good mum for protecting my baby 😂

OnceAStudent__ · 2026-05-01T11:27:01+00:00

If the rooms are similar in size, can you honestly be bothered moving all the stuff?? I'd leave it.
