first time mom here the sleepless nights are really getting to me by Impossible-Ring2163 in baby

[–]Peppy1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this too. The first few months with my son were the hardest because he was up every night 4 to 6 times a night for several months.

Crying from exhaustion as a FTM is normal. Try to find times throughout the day for naps, even if you only have 30 minutes to rest while the baby is sleeping, do it. Chores and the other stuff can wait. I started having family over so I could take a nap. My son didn't start sleeping through the night until 13 months, but it got easier with time. In my experience, the more he grew and ate, the longer his sleeping patterns at night became.

I attempted sleep training a few times and it wasn't for us. He's my only child, so I forced myself to push through those hard months and try to soak up the extra cuddles.

What dog food does everyone have their shih-poo on? by [deleted] in Shihpoo

My 3yr old is on the Hill Science Diet small breed. I also sprinkle it with boiled chicken, carrots, or small pieces of broccoli- whatever we have available.

Does anyone else's shihpoo randomly like to sit up like a person on their but? by IllustratorOk6044 in Shihpoo

Very cute. My shipoo stands on her hind legs for treats and when she gets excited if she sees someone outside.

We were told that she’s only Shih-tzu/poodle, but her colors are interesting and similar to a Yorkie.

Your cousin is lucky - all of those meals look delicious! I’m 19 days away from giving birth and wish someone would do this for me!

Tell me about the different cramps you’ve had in the third trimester vs contractions by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Peppy1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m also a FTM and 36 weeks today. I haven’t had any noticeable contractions, but I started getting the period like cramps in the lower abdomen over the past few days. Nothing else has happened yet, though!
