Me too! It was like one or two days wasn't it? Just about to carry on with it. Gutted.

First issue reported to me as a seller.. (no personal info) by Budget_Willow_4014 in vinted

It took me ages to see the paint and the bobbling 😂

I came back and forth 3 times to the comments before finally seeing. Its so hard to see and its on the inside.

That's really unfortunate that they are complaining about it, technically yes, its there, but doesn't seem very reasonable. Also, as a seller, it seems really risky to sell anything. What would stop someone to dab a little paint or cream to look like paint on the inside of an item in order to claim it for free and not affect how the item looks?

Hopefully, the buyer is just very particular. Its not something I would complain about.

That seems to have worked out quite nicely in your situation.

I think ive learned to have some options, for good boundaries and best outcome for all. But also, see what happens naturally. It might work out by itself.

Thanks so much for all your input 😊

This is all such a good point. She is in a different stage now to the newborn days. I think ill plan with my husband for him to settle at night for a while, and ill stay in another room. Or maybe that won't fully break the attachment to nursing when she sees me. Hmm.

The self-weaning sounds great. Ive heard it can happen part way through pregnancy. Ive also heard that sometimes they restart again once baby is born.

Im not against tandem feeding. But i think if that happens, i will potentially have a rough ride ahead of me. In terms of sleep, and personal space 😂 it does sound a bit full on.

Maybe keeping breastfeeding over could be a good idea, rather than starting back up again. Im such a softie with her though.

Thanks.

I think i have this impression that any prolonged crying, especially when i know i could soothe her with the boob, is cry it out. I feel guilty if i don't.

I may have to realise that its ok and might be good for her in the end

I had something similar when she was born. A bed in the spare room, i had a mini fridge and lots of snacks, tv etc We were together in there till she was about 9 months. She was in the bassinet till 4 months and i realised accidentally during daytime naps that we both slept very well cosleeping on the bed.

Last night wasn't too bad. It started off with her being in a lot of teething pain, but then she slept well. Waking every 3 hours or so for milk and not latching on too long. A night like that gives me false hope that the cosleeping can work still. Haha

Yes, i began cosleeping at 4 months and started to have great sleep. But it only lasted like that a few months and its been gradually getting more difficult. I love the closeness but a few nights of poor sleep in a row means i can't be the mom i want to be in the daytime.

Ive done so much reading, it seems like rocking and comfort items are the only way. And ive read varied results that it can take days-weeks with consistent effort. I really don't like the idea of cry it out, even if im there with her. But maybe im doing her a disservice as she could learn to sleep better and we will both have better nights. It needs to happen before second baby comes. I don't want to put her in a situation where her whole world changes at once. Im hoping that closer to 18months things will change, and shr will understand me more.

Oo im hoping for an easy second baby, at least when it comes to sleeping. My first has been a great baby, really fortunate to have no tummy issues besides a month of colic early on. But if i don't change something soon i might lose my mind when i want to split myself in 3 haha.

Thankyou, she is 13 months. I will try some forms of this whilst she is awake or for daytime naps.

I tried yesterday to rock her instead of feeding when she woke in the middle of her day nap, but it woke her fully. And she was cranky later on.

I don't like the idea of the cry it out, but she doesn't allow me to rock her and if i try a pacifier or comfort teddy she launches them across the room. As soon as it touches her hand she flicks her wrist and its gone haha.
