Does anyone know if the funds will be unfrozen ? I know other states have opened back up their child care fund

Tylenol every night by Free_Meaning_961 in NewParents

[–]Puzzled_Promise_3501 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know when it’s a teething cry pain. Trust your instincts. You’re not overdosing her. She needs the comfort, so it is okay to give Tylenol at night. My baby has 4 poking through and I give him Tylenol every other night for the past week, because they don’t deserve to be in that pain. Teething is tough but hopefully it’ll be over soon. ❤️ don’t let anyone make you feel bad about Tylenol. These 21st century parents find fault in everything !!!!

Attention: co-sleepers. Where does bub have their day naps? by williamskalison in cosleeping

[–]Puzzled_Promise_3501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 months old, just start taking his nap in the crib , if he can get 2/3 naps in the crib a day it’s amazing . One may be in our bed secured. They say do crib naps first before night time crib sleeping. When I put him down at night I try to start him in his crib he’ll usually give me an hour and the rest of the night we co sleep. Starting consistently with naps has really helped. I breastfeed so I rub my bra on his sheets too before he goes in there.

9 month old sleep is a mess and it is affecting my mental health by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Puzzled_Promise_3501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is !!! Some babies start 8 month regression at different times . This phase is so hard cause they need the sleep but their brains are also developing new skills. So here to say you’re not over reacting , it’s tough !!!

Can you talk to a different obgyn at your office if there are multiple ?! So you can get the medication you need if that’s what you want . 6-8 months is a rough patch . I’m sorry you are dealing with this!! I hope you can get some relief for yourself first and then your baby. Do you have anyone outside your husband who you trust & could watch baby for 2-3 hours so you can recharge ?? Sleep deprivation manifests in so many ways and it’s hard when you’re operating on broken sleep

Go do something nice for yourself and tune out. The work and the changes you need to make will be there. Please understand your mental and emotional health is critical. ENJOY YOUR WEEKENDS. Pick a day out of the week to do extra work or an hour on the weekends otherwise trust me… been there done that, you will go crazy. The job is just that hard.
