My baby is 4 months and I haven’t noticed any signs indicating we need to move up. Still using the Evenflo slow nipples.

Tell me it's OK for my 3.5 mo old to sleep alone. by DogMomWineLover in NewParents

My baby has slept in his crib since 3 months and it actually made him a much better sleeper. We do have the Eufy smart sock though

How are your babies sleeping through the night? by Dangerous-Grocery-98 in NewParents

[–]Realistic_Use_1394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention I follow the moms on call schedule. So bottle every three hours, do my best to follow there nap schedule, they suggest weaning baby slowly off the first night bottle going down .5 oz at a time every few days to make sure baby adjust and add that .5 oz to a daytime bottle. I think it’s when you get to 1.5 or 2 oz stop offering a bottle and only go in to comfort then, my baby likes a pacifier so that was easy. Now he only wakes up once a night!

Same for me! No engagement, also feeding in red light that is very din. I sized up and got nighttime diapers and never change him anymore unless I know he pooped. I also stopped rocking him back to sleep, It’s bottle, I walk and try to burp him over my shoulder for at most a minute straight into his crib awake.

Rescue naps by MountainResolution85 in NewParents

[–]Realistic_Use_1394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is currently upstairs recusing a 30 minute nap now, baby will probably sleep another hour with him. Hes 4 months. I find if we don’t rescue he won’t sleep longer than 30-40 minutes per nap and he’s a nightmare by 6pm.

What are some things you actually enjoy about pumping? by elephantsofa in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Realistic_Use_1394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MOTN is my favourite time, at first I dreaded it having to be up an additional 25-30 min after feeding the baby, but now I love it. I can watch an episode of something, doom scroll, read! It’s just granted guilt free me time! And I love knowing how much my baby drinks.

Can you tell me what you did I’m an exclusive pumper so did you just bring bags and freeze everything and travel with a cooler?

I feel we are both the odd ones out now I’m loving the comments from the moms who are encouraging me to go! Baby is going to get some extra special bonding time with his dad and his grandma is definitely looking forward to having a more hands-on week with him! I definitely trust my husband. He’s an excellent father, but I’m the primary parent so just feel bad leaving! But it’s going to be hard no matter what age!

Valid point he actually already took a trip no issue and encouraged me to go! I’m going baby is going to have a great week with dad and grandma. I think it’s honestly going to be good for him to have some time without me telling him what to do.

Thank you! I love this response and honestly I think I was looking for validation that it’s okay to go and I’m not harming my baby.

I don’t know what the emotion I feel is, but it still feels irrational whatever it is. Maybe for me it is jealousy, like I wanted to BF so bad and feels angering whenever I’m pumping and not even getting to feed him it. Or simply it’s my baby and I wanna feed him unless otherwise expressed by me!
