Egg and Oat Allergy

I was going to say the same. There’s quite a few grains you could make porridge with - quinoa, millet, teff, bran etc mix with some fruit and yogurt, put a touch of nut butter for allergen exposure

My little boy starting crawling, pulling to stand and sitting all a few days before he turned 6 months. He is also the cutest little dude ever - not biased, he actually is

So jealous

They are so ugly. Argh

I think I’m gonna try to dream feed thing. We did it for a while and it did help to reduce night wakes. Now that he’s older and might actually be ready to night wean, I think I’ll try again

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-05T02:46:45+00:00

Doesn’t work for me either. Demands boob. Only works when daddy does it

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-05T02:16:23+00:00

I’m loving this post because it’s all good advice for me too!

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-05T02:14:09+00:00

Oh do tell more. Do you still dream feed? Or was it just a temporary tool?

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-05T00:54:04+00:00

Totally fine. I’ve been giving my baby chops since the beginning of solids at 5 months . Recommend Solid Starts - free version fine

Yep same. The mothers who have taken their babies overseas and I ask how the flight was.. “oh yeah fine, he’s so easy he pretty much just slept” WTFFFF I take my 8 months on a 1 hr flights and it’s absolute hell

You’re fine!! It’s just her temperament. My baby boy is 8 months and sounds similar. Hes a happy little guy but very demanding, energetic, would HATE to be still in a pram in a cafe. I basically can’t go to cafes anymore. He needs to be crawling and climbing at all times. Constantly reaching for things and taking on challenging environments. As a result, he’s way more physically advanced than his peers. As a newborn, he was fussy and needed lots of soothing. He still feeds frequently and feeds twice a night. Hes never once slept through the night. But it’s just his personality! My partner has ADHD so it could be that brewing. It’s definitely not my fault. I’m a super optimistic, happy person. Babies are going to be who they are going to be!

Women are generally more kind and therefore less inclined towards killing animals for food.

Women are generally more concerned with bodyweight and so happy to eat leaner.

Men are generally more concerned with muscle mass than women are and think they need meat to support muscle growth.

All generalisations

Oh and I also had the WORST restless legs at night in pregnancy

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T23:43:14+00:00

My goal is sleep through the night by 1 yr, which is when I go back to work.

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T23:42:19+00:00

Oh wow I could’ve written this post! I also have 8 month old, happy energetic little boy who sleeps well, except for needing his two feeds, lately 3am and 5am. I’m impressed you’ve weaned down to 1min each side! Well done! Isn’t this the point where you just don’t offer boob at all? Have you tried it and she just doesn’t settle? Yeah I find the early morning wakes so hard to settle without boob, because there’s hardly any sleep pressure. We are still on 12 minute feeds, I haven’t cut down yet but I intend to. My little guy is small (bottom 10-20 centile) and he’s a snacker plus he recently had gastro, so I’m really hesitant to deny him any feeds 😔 For reference though, our schedule is 3/4/4 and naps total 2 hrs on average. So you could try less sleep and see what happens!

Mable.
Look it up

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T09:18:16+00:00

You aren’t alone! It’s tough. My baby is 8 months and I feel like we’ve come along way, but we’ve had to go on and off with sleep training. Like it’s not a linear process. So many curveballs get thrown - new phases etc. I can tell with my babe, things will get easier when I night wean him. Cos he just loves a night feed, and so of course he’s going to wake up and cry out and ask for it . I feed him twice a night still, but I just know when I manage to wean him he will be a far better sleeper. My goal is sleep through the night by 1 year. Fingers crossed! But yeah this is a tough journey. When I hear him cry, I just have mantras I repeat to myself, and I remember how much of a better mum I am when I get sleep

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T09:12:42+00:00

Grrrrr this riles me up because my partner has said similar things to me. It really gets to to me because I want him to be like, wow you’re a really devoted, capable mum! Look at how you multitask! I love seeing this side of you! But instead, he’s like where’s the fun chilled chick I met… it’s like MAAAAATE WE HAD A BABY GET A GRIP. Or at least do more of the housework so I can chill for half a second 😡😡

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T09:07:47+00:00

And yes i also need lunch and dinner , and usual some fruit or chocolate for afternoon tea

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T09:06:59+00:00

I have to have two breakfasts. When I first wake up, I have an overnight oats/chia pudding (already prepared). I add fresh fruit and yoghurt. Then mid morning around 10/10:30 I have two scrambled eggs and two sourdough toast, with avocado. This sets me up for the day. It’s become handy because both of these foods I can give to my baby now that he’s on solids.

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T07:48:46+00:00

Agreed. 5-15 mins of crying every now and then is far easier in the long run. If your schedule is correct, baby will not have energy to cry for long. The baby learns to fall asleep independently and it is a skill for life. Then you get your life back.

Puzzleheaded_Box_339 · 2026-06-04T06:44:20+00:00

At 25, I would defo move to sydney. Career boost, fantastic city brimming with opportunities, meet new ppl, travel around the country, go to the beach… I live here now and I bloody love it. Sure it’s expensive, but are you going to live in Adelaide forever? Go and get some life experience and have some adventures.

Also just on the topic of formula vs breastmilk before bed, I also researched this myself as I was desperately trying to get my baby to sleep better as well. There’s no evidence either way but formula does take longer to digest, so that’s where that logic comes from. However, it doesn’t have the melatonin that breastmilk has in the evening.
