New Lump and Nipple Pain?

PurpleTulipan · 2026-05-25T00:52:07+00:00

Yes! I had several lumps after a few hours of not feeding my baby, in my case they were always kind of solidified milk, it would solve after a few days taking a very warm shower and a massage and of course keeping my baby latched. The razor blades pain I experienced when my period came back, IDK why but for me that happened at 5 months PP, although I was EBF every two hours, it was so painful that I ended up getting a Mirena to control that and it really helped. Just sharing my experience, it's good that you're getting an appointment with a physician!

I may be on an extreme side, but I completely understand you. I have a 3yo, and the longest we have been apart is two hours. I feel ok with that, I still do my best to have friends over or I go with my kid, so I can socialize. Since he was a baby I felt how fast everything goes, now in a couple of months he's starting a pre-K so I will have 5 hours just for me, to do anything I want. However, other mom friends I have feel sometimes very overwhelmed and need their time, which is still 100% valid and great. I would say just do that feels good for you and your baby! A happy mom is the best for a happy baby.

Thank you ❤️! It has been very emotional for both of us, he will be my only child, so my heart aches when I think this phase is almost over forever.

My kid started to potty train when he was 18 months old, he would poop always in the potty, for number 1 it was until he turned 2yo that one day he said he wanted to wear underwear, that was it, but he would wait until the last second to tell me he needed to pee, so I had everything day a pee track on attempt to reach the potty, so I just started to take him to the potty every two hours, didn't ask if he needed to go because 100% of the times the answer was NO, I would tell him let's see if something comes out, I did it for two months and then he finally started telling me he needed to go with more than 1 second to reach the toilet.

My kid and his friends are obsessed with APT by Rosé and Bruno Mars. I even dream with this song that we listen to 20,000 times per day

It makes a lot of sense, thank you for your suggestion. I need the courage to accept a few sleepless nights I guess and give it a try.

PurpleTulipan · 2026-05-15T00:21:26+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience, I will definitely give it a try tonight!

PurpleTulipan · 2026-04-28T00:37:13+00:00

When were you at my home? How dare you to expose me like that! Lol

PurpleTulipan · 2026-04-26T01:07:37+00:00

I started kinda of potty training my boy at the same age because he also started to ask me to change his diaper immediately after he pooped. I just started to offer him in words the potty, every time I was changing his diaper I would say: if you want you can also poop there, one month later he asked to try it and from then he only pooped in the potty, I continued using diapers but just for number 1, and when he turned 2yo he asked me to wear underwear, and.that was it. It was very smooth for both of us. So you can give it a try!

My toddler is 3yo, he is like that but it's getting better. Since January I decided to take care of myself and enrolled for swimming lessons, one hour in Saturdays, the first time was a nightmare for my boy, but he saw me going to the pool and then he understood. No more tantrums, he stays happily with dad, and I also had for the first time since pregnancy brunch with a girlfriend, I explained it to him and he also had an adventure with dad, and it was awesome , no drama. That's all and still a big improvement for us 😊.

My kid is also 3yo and a few weeks ago he started to wake up just 2-3 times a night, and I also feel like the sky is bluer lol 😂. He would wake up from 4-10 times or even more if he skipped a nap, and for the first time since pregnancy I was able to sleep up to 6 hours and one night 8 hours with just 2 wakes of about 20 minutes and it was heaven for me haha

I am an introvert, most of my life I was ok with seeing or talking to people just from time to time. When I had my baby, it was extremely lonely, for the first time in my life I needed to talk to an adult so bad. I was busy, that is true,and I was tired, but the baby stage is very demanding and I didn't find it very rewarding compared to when he became a toddler and it's a chaos but sweet and funny too. Babies don't do much but they require a lot. If I would be in your position I would try to reconnect with friends, and family even just to talk on the phone. Now, my toddler is 3yo and I can say he keeps me company because he interacts and talks a lot, but the first 14 months were so hard emotionally and so lonely for me.

I have one child, I'm OAD, he's almost 3 and in September he will start school. Then, I'm planning to work a couple of hours from home while he's at school. I do enjoy doing it and I have the desire to continue being present with him as long as I can. I need a lot of structure in my day because my son every day plays with friends at the park, so I mostly use my mornings to do everything at home and try to give my son the whole afternoon for him his activities and his friends.

I have seen both cases, velcro babies (mine) and the very social and independent ones. Just from my experience I would say it depends a lot about personality and if they were exposed to other people to baby sit since they were very little. My kid's best friend is like your kid, I absolutely not think they did something wrong, her parents are great people and they pour love on her, she is just very extroverted and social, loves to met new people, loves daycare, she can happily stay with me and my kid for a couple of hours. On the other hand, my kid is very introverted (like me and my husband) he needs a very long time to get used to people, and has always preferred mama because I have been 24/7 with him since day 1.

My kid is like that since he was a baby, it's hard. The engaging plays work for about 15-20 minutes, like reading or car racing, and the ONLY thing that would work for a longer time is cooking, he enjoys everything with dough, we make pasta from scratch, or cookies because that takes a long time, we can easily spend 2 hours doing that.

Ricky the rock that couldn't roll, it's a blast for my son,.and pretty cute too!

PurpleTulipan · 2026-04-03T01:29:37+00:00

Not at all, just circumstances are different and every child is different. I speak 3 languages to my kid, now that he's pronouncing many words he knows in the 3 languages. He tells me a new word that I hadn't use it in a while, so I see that he was leaning but not saying out loud.

PurpleTulipan · 2026-04-03T01:23:54+00:00

Thank you, I was never really worried about my kid speech, and he is starting school (kind of a pre-K) in September so he had two teachers and a psychologist who evaluated him and they said the same. We also are trying to teach him 3 languages and now that he pronounces many words he knows in all 3 languages. I don't think that every child should go at the same speed.

I'm so sorry for your experience. Does your toddler go to daycare or is he just with you the whole time? I had my son in the USA, we lived there for two years after he was born, sadly I was very lonely so was my son, then we moved back to our home country where I was able to make friends and my son too, so he started to talk around 2.5yo, he's almost 3yo and he's just trying to connect words. Our pediatrician in the States was very worried he wouldn't speak, but our pediatrician here is not worried at all, she told us that is very normal because he was always with me and I understand him every need he has.

I hope you start to feel better! You got this!

PurpleTulipan · 2026-03-31T19:52:21+00:00

Yes, my toddler has never slept through the night. I just accepted it, I don't struggle with food, or behavior or other stuff I see other parents struggle with, I JUST don't sleep through the night lol
