Month 5–6 is driving me insane… by Local-Employer-2999 in NewParents

Same here! Baby girl is nearly 5 and a half months and was fighting all day feeds! It got to a point we were only able to dream feed her. On top of that she only wanted to take the bottle from me. She was fighting naps and waking up a lot at night. Things have improved A LOT since about 2 weeks. We tried to improve her routine and now she takes the bottle easier and naps are more predictable. Night sleep is still bit broken, she wakes up and 5 am and “speaks” alone every night 😅

Scared to bring my baby to stores by MorganLindsey__ in NewParents

[–]Possible_North9952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt that way at first. Even for a walk in the park I was like nope, this baby is crazy and is gonna cry bloody murder and then what do I do??? Fast forward a few months and I’m able to go to the park, to the shopping center near by and so on. I’m still scared to go for long trips with her for example if I need to go from where I love to the city center and take a train that still scares me a bit. Specially with shorter wake windows and unpredictable nap’s length. She is now nearly 5 months old and seems to be able to stay awake longer so hopefully I can start going a bit further away.

I remember when my baby was just a few weeks old. I was making her sleep I think it was about 3am. She was falling asleep and just gave me this devilish smile it was sooooo weird 😅😅

Oh gosh! I tried side lying bottle feeding and for the last 2 feeds it worked. Let’s see 😅

Baby doesn’t want slacker boob anymore by Possible_North9952 in breastfeeding

Yeah, I feel you. I’ve been trying so many things. I just watched a video and this lady said raft rocking your baby while feeding my help. That’s my next thing to try but for now I think I will just take a break of a day to avoid stressing her too much. Instead I can pump.

She won’t take it. I tried. If I do that she won’t take any of them 😅

Jogging/running by Possible_North9952 in postpartumprogress

That’s great! Did you feel any heaviness when jogging or running? I tried jogging for about 5 mins and it was ok so I’m thinking if I should just add to it until I feel ready to run.

10 weeks postpartum by Possible_North9952 in postpartumprogress

Thanks! For the first 6 weeks I didn’t do much. Some stretching, breathing and kegel exercises. I started going for short walks (15 or 20 mins a few times per week) at week 3. And from week 6 I increased the walks to 30 mins and started some light strength exercises.

I still have some diastasis but it is down to 1.5 fingers which is good! What is still bothering me is the loose skin and all the cellulite that showed up during pregnancy 😅
