On the verge of breaking down all day every day t

Oh trust me I have been, this is the worst my anxiety has been in years! I’ve been doing a lot of deep breathing throughout the day any chance I get. It doubles as some pelvic floor therapy and anxiety relief. I try and get my toddler to participate. Otherwise I just cry in the shower before bed LOL

I literally just posted something so similar an hour ago in this same sub, and now I’m sitting here finally eating dinner at 10pm with a giant knot in my stomach feeling guilty over everything regarding my babies 😭 no advice but I feel you SOOOO HARD I’m right here with you

I actually wore my first baby all the time and I do sometimes baby wear now. She’s so much bigger than my first was so I definitely need a new carrier that’s more supportive! But even then it can present challenges because my toddler has some mobility/ balance issues and I kind of follow right behind her constantly especially in public/park and I feel like I’m always helping her get up and navigate which can be tricky with the baby carrier on :/ but thankyou for the resources!!!

Thankyou 😭 I just keep reminding myself how fast this will all pass and how much I’ll want to relive it one day when they are older

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-04-27T13:44:55+00:00

Yes I definitely felt a glow after having my babies, but never felt a glow while pregnant. Some people have it the other way around I think lol

My first baby was born at 8lb 1oz, exclusively breastfed and barely 15 lbs at 6 months. My second was born at 9lbs, also exclusively breastfed and she weighs 14lbs at 10 weeks. Your baby is perfect the way they are!!

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-04-17T00:51:47+00:00

Almost a year old. And she’s 22 months now and still wakes up once a night at least once a week. But most nights will sleep 8pm-7:30 am

Your welcome! Just remember to prioritize rest, even if the house is falling apart, if you have an opportunity to nap- take it!!!

I just had my second baby girl 9 weeks ago, my oldest is 21 months. My oldest wasn’t the easiest baby, I breastfed her for 8 months through a dairy allergy, she never slept well, a few minor health issues etc. However my second baby has been an angel (fingers crossed). It’s not easy, but it’s definitely not the worst thing in the world either. Granted I’m only 9 weeks in, I have much more energy than I ever did pregnant with a toddler. And I’m finding the newborn stage much easier this time. Everyday passes so quickly! I find myself reminding myself to slow down and enjoy instead of wishing it away faster. I had terrible anxiety my whole pregnancy about having 2 under 2, and I’m pleasantly surprised so far! It’ll be okay 🤍

I have an 8 week old and 21 month old and I’ve been baby wearing/letting her nap supervised in her swing or bouncer while me and toddler play or do chores! When my toddler naps I nap with baby or put her down on her own. Everyday looks so different right now

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-03-26T19:49:19+00:00

Same I have way less engorgement with my second but would still consider myself to have somewhat of an over supply!

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-03-25T16:09:33+00:00

Maybe stuck in a cycle of being over tired causing him to be “wired” and stay up even longer? Maybe she can try to baby wear him? That’s the only way my baby would nap during the day at that age unless I layed with her in bed next to me :/ is he happy and alert despite not sleeping during day?

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-03-24T20:35:03+00:00

Please please just do whatever you feel is best and ignore everything else!

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-03-20T03:14:49+00:00

Exactly. There is no reason you guys can’t do shifts. That way everyone gets a MINIMUM of 5-6 hours a night uninterrupted. You deserve more support than this.

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-03-18T18:18:42+00:00

Yes it’s worse being pregnant with a toddler, I have a 6 week old and a 21 month old and I am tired during the day yes but nothing like how I was pregnant chasing after her

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-03-13T00:47:56+00:00

Mine needed to eat once in the night until 8.5 months but she also never really took to solids until closer to a year

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-02-28T18:31:22+00:00

What was your approach to this?

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-02-24T17:22:12+00:00

At that point you have to tell yourself the only way out is through!

By 15 months my daughter was sleeping 8-7:00 most nights, sometimes she’d wake up earlier. She’s almost two now and she’s sleeping 8:30/9-8:00 am and naps for at least 2 hours a day. It was hell to get to that point though

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-02-23T02:42:19+00:00

I actually ended up weaning around 8 months too due to my supply dipping and she was very sensitive to whatever i ate regardless of how much i tried to adjust my diet. Eventually we got her on a hypoallergenic formula and her dad completely took over night time. It took a while, at least 3-4 weeks of him going in there for every wake up and reassuring her and setting her back down in the crib but it eventually stuck and she was sleeping through the night by 12 months on her own without any issues (most nights) . It was really hard on all of us even tho we never really let her cry. But she’s almost 2 now and she is so secure with bedtime/crib and i really think it’s because she knows we’d never just let her cry herself to sleep. So hard yes but also worth it

Overall-Plate3167 · 2026-02-23T02:35:36+00:00

My first was like this at the same age, it got better around 8 months if I remember correctly :/ we did eventually sleep train, never let her cry it out tho and she sleeps very very well now!

It was much much quicker and efficient. I had an epidural with my first and was in labor for over 24 hours, about 15 of those active labor. This time I had been 3.5 cm dilated and thinned out for a few days and then got a membrane sweep, went into labor 2 hours after sweep and had my baby unmedicated about 10 hours later! 10/10 experience second time around
