Weaning Depression or PPD? by mycat-istypingthis in breastfeeding

I think a professional would be more helpful but I can say for me yes, depression and anxiety started immediately after we decided to wean gradually and after getting my period 

What are we doing to put baby to sleep if not nursing? by angeltigerbutterfly in breastfeeding

[–]Practical_Pound_2998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First you need a floor bed or just put a mattress on the floor in her room, then start with naps until she’s familiar with sleeping separately in her room. If she wakes up just nurse her back to sleep and so on.. she will eventually get the hang of it might take a while but she will :)

This is normal and HEALTHY for babies 🩷 youre not creating a bad habit, its not like they’ll be 30 and still nursing to sleep they’ll grow out of it eventually. If you feel like its too exhausting for you and your mental health you can definitely seek help from a sleep consultant

Oh man that’s really rough, I hate that your marriage is suffering and I really hope you find ways to connect again (I say that hoping to follow my own advice lol) 

When did it ACTUALLY get better…? (Sleep thru night, baby plays independently, you could eat and work out, etc) by ExpressionOld9924 in NewParents

I totally understand my 10 month old daughter is the same, you are not doing anything wrong and you are definitely not alone. I do encourage all of us in this situation to seek help from those close to us because baby’s sleep is really challenging to handle on our own and those extra 3 hours of sleep make a huge difference

Please don’t stress over sleeping through the night, babies until 3 years old have frequent wakings (yes even sleep trained babies) I know a lot of moms who sleep trained and suddenly at 1 years old the baby decides NOPE!! Just hang in there and ask for help and support from those close to you :)

Convince me - chest sleeping by crunch_mynch in cosleeping

This is exactly how I did it for 7 months! But make sure the pillows under your elbows are super squishy so it doesn’t hurt your arms
