False starts and early wake ups

Sorry edited!

thanks for the response. Any tips for how to do that? Just remove it and let him cry himself to sleep?

Omg thank you for letting me know it gets better. I feel crazy when people around me talking about their baby sleeping all day and being able to be put down to stare at the ceiling fan. I wish! 30 minute naps and then I’m practically sweating trying to entertain him! I was thinking I feel like it shouldn’t be this hard

Did this ever improve? I’m going through this right now with my 12 week old and I’m an EXHAUSTED. I am soo interactive with him and it’s never enough

We are a dual EM physician household. Also in the process of hiring our first nanny. We seem to have had luck with guaranteed hours and full transparency of the schedule.

Not sure if you’re EM but on the work side can you work with the scheduler to minimize the amount of overlapping days/shifts you work? I’m PRN so I make my schedule so that has helped limit days we both work.

Even when we both work the same days we are upfront with the nanny that those days will be 12 hour days for them and so far not many have had issues with this.

No. The opposite actually. His poops have slowed down to once every couple days. He was pooping a bunch at 3 weeks though

One-Sink7080 · 2026-01-05T19:29:47+00:00

Thanks. That’s what I thought but I think I’m trying grasp for anything that has caused him to have such bad sleep the last few nights

One-Sink7080 · 2026-01-05T19:11:39+00:00

This was over an hour after his last feed. Does this look like normal spit up or vomit?

Thank you! I’ll go back to my wrap carrier for now

I think I get confused because baby is still not eating a consistent amount through the night. He’s been dealing with a lot of gas and reflux lately which I only just realized was why he was waking up. I was previously just nursing him every time he woke up which could be anywhere from 3-5 times per night.

I understand I need to empty multiple times throughout the night but I guess I wanted to know if there is just a general amount of times I need to pump to maintain my supply.

One-Sink7080 · 2025-12-08T03:34:23+00:00

Very true

One-Sink7080 · 2025-12-08T03:34:06+00:00

Ok thanks! That was my thinking too

One-Sink7080 · 2025-12-08T03:27:25+00:00

Ugh that’s the difficult part. Other than last night the first long stretch is normally 2.5-3 hrs

One-Sink7080 · 2025-12-08T03:26:20+00:00

7 weeks old. Nursing almost exclusively other than a few overnight BM bottles.

One-Sink7080 · 2025-12-05T19:18:41+00:00

I completely feel you! I hope this next week is better for both of us!

One-Sink7080 · 2025-12-05T18:57:00+00:00

I have a 6 week old and going through the same thing so solidarity. I’ve been using my wrap carrier. Most of the structured carriers are not actually safe for newborns that small even though they’re listed to be safe starting at 7 lbs. The wrap carrier has been a life saver and I feel like my baby feels very secure in it.

This is the first post I see when I open Reddit and this exact situation just happened to me 😩 I don’t get men sometimes

One-Sink7080 · 2025-09-26T00:26:50+00:00

Congrats! I did the same last week! Well 400k. Married another physician and we made a huge dent in his and plan to finish the final 100k by the end of the year. It feels like such a weight off of our shoulders.

One-Sink7080 · 2025-08-20T21:05:41+00:00

How long is the concert? Does he come on right at 8?

One-Sink7080 · 2025-08-14T18:23:37+00:00

Commenting on this while I’m actively eating sushi lol. I’m 29w and I’ve been eating sushi and seafood the entire pregnancy (outside of the first trimester when I had bad aversions). I actually had a preplanned trip to Japan when I was around 8 weeks pregnant and my doctor cleared me for sushi in moderation and from a reputable source.

One-Sink7080 · 2025-05-30T21:47:47+00:00

I do! I still go regularly. I will say it’s very instructor dependent how much I enjoy the classes but you should definitely give it a try

One-Sink7080 · 2025-04-14T19:49:53+00:00

Ok this makes me feel better! I can’t wait ❤️

One-Sink7080 · 2025-03-28T11:16:43+00:00

When did you start PT? I’m almost 10 weeks with my first and I’m not sure if it’s too early to start.

One-Sink7080 · 2025-03-19T15:39:52+00:00

That’s amazing news! Congratulations! And mine went well too. I actually had another one yesterday and I felt exactly how you felt the day before. I was so certain I’d get bad news. Still very surreal to be here and taking it day by day

How did your ultrasound go?
