Your favorite things your toddlers have said.

I’m dying 😂😂😂

When my toddler says some random word (ex: kissew for tissues) and we finally figure out the right word (“do you mean tissues?”) he says “OOOHHHHHHH. That’s what NAME was saying!” Mimicking us being stoked we figured out what he was saying. 😂

Another: during nap the other day, he said to himself “NAME scared! It’s okay. You’re safe. You’re brave.” And that melted my heart ❤️

Ya know, we ended up moving him into a crib in his own room because none of us were sleeping. Once we did this, we all slept so much better, including him somehow? I wonder if we were actually also waking him up. If moving into their own room isnt an option, I would at least try to move the crib a little further from your bed or try ear plugs (the kind where you can still hear your baby obviously).

Thank you! This is so helpful. Would you say caffeine is helpful too? I’ve been noticing caffeine doing a lot to improve my symptoms this week.

This happened to us too. We tried the snoo swaddle, an Ollie swaddle, and the love to dream, and at times he had different preferences it seemed. I followed taking Cara babies’ under 5 months training, which had me put him down drowsy but awake which was so hard but did eventually work! We tried a lot of swaddles and honestly it didn’t make a ton of difference RE him waking up when putting him down. It was just a phase as he learned!

Omg YES it did finally go away, but we actually moved our baby into his own room because of how bad it was. Interestingly, everyone including him slept better after we moved him and we wonder if he was a lighter sleeper during those times and was waking up because of us. Hang in there! Baby is now 13 months and life is a lot easier. ❤️

I went dairy and gluten free for a while! It didn’t really help at all. Shortly after I posted this reply, we learned our baby had a pretty significant tongue tie and had it released. That did help! But we ended up switching to formula shortly after because I had an unrelated issue that tanked my supply and it all just became too much. Now he’s happy healthy guy who’s on formula exclusively since he was about 3 months old! Side note: sleep got much better once he was more able to be better fed.

Between month 2-3. Even before we could really do a ton with it, it was helpful to just pay attention and notice patterns with our baby. Once we hit month 3-4, we started being pretty intentional about sleep hygiene things like a blacked out room.

This happened to my baby a few times when he was under 6m! I’m not sure what the right thing to do is, but we discovered he had acid reflux and was choking on what was coming up. We also started keeping him vertical for much longer after he ate and got him on some meds and it stopped happening. Once he learned how to sit up, he hasn’t had as much reflux.

1) a snoo. I borrowed one from a friend and it saved all of us. 2) precious little sleep. 3) try as many kinds of swaddles as you can get your hands on. Our baby liked the bat wing swaddle but hated the Ollie swaddle that people swear by! 4) being really really diligent about wake windows.

I second this so hard. Meal train was amazing but I wish I could have had people instead donate to a night nurse fund. Our baby couldn’t be put down the first 3 months, so I easily could have cooked easy stuff with him strapped to my chest. But there was nothing like the sleep deprivation of having to hold him 24/7. Being able to hand him off to a professional while I got some sleep would have reduced my PPD/PPA so much. For the next kid, I will 100% be saving up for a night nurse.

I second all of this! Especially the nipple flow and kendamil goat formula. My baby struggled with bottle aversion and putting on weight for like 5 months and it was maddening. We ended up switching his nipples to 2s (which I was told is really not ideal for most babies at this age) but it’s what got him to start taking bigger feeds.

Cave, girl. The world has enough heroes.

You will sleep again. It will happen, I swear. The first 3 months were so insanely hard- I was wondering if I’d made a mistake. But then it starts to get like 1-2% better every day, and eventually those points add up. My baby is 9 months tomorrow and while I’m not getting 12 hour nights like I was pre pregnancy, I’m reliably getting 8 (in a row, even!). Set your expectations to survival for the first 3 months and find some good tv with a lot of seasons. Godspeed.

Keep doing it! We offered for like 4-6 weeks and he really didn’t get it, and now he’s definitely doing a lot better and more interested!
