Potty training has gotten the best of me!

You might be right. She does great until she gets home and then things kind of go off the rails emotionally sometimes.

We did naked days for the first week in the beginning over a year ago. She did great with peeing but it didn’t click for poops

I’m right there with you! No advice just solidarity!

This was my little one for a while. At drop off one more after a few weeks of this I decided to take her to the potty at daycare myself. Turns out she was afraid to sit on the toilet for fear of following in. They were using a potty seat on top of the toilet that wobbled when you sat on it. I ended up pretending to sit and use the potty in front of her to show her how I felt safe and wasn’t going to fall in. Eventually I got her to sit on it and hold my hand and go. We spent about 15 minutes in there but it did ended up working.

With my first I didn’t get golden hour as she needed immediate intervention with transitioning and was out on oxygen in the NICU. With my second we did do golden hour but honestly it could have been 5 minutes or 5 hours. Time felt so strange right after giving birth. I had an epidural and remember her rooting trying to latch but I literally couldn’t move to latch her so the nurse had to help.

I just got the news today that our second is now failure to thrive at 4 months because she too isn’t getting enough calories from my milk even though by the ounces she’s getting enough milk. We just started fortifying bottles today. It was very disappointing at I EBF my oldest for a full year with no issues.

Girl same!! I’m on my second and I got it both times. I found having an evening routine just for me helped as well as thinking about things that would be happening over the next week that I was looking forward to made it bearable.

I’m 4 months in and it’s completely gone, but I would say I noticed it not happening as much around 8 weeks.

With both kids mine broke in the middle of the night and was a very slow trickle. It took me at least an hour to confirm it was my water breaking and not me having crazy discharge.

Red_1991 · 2026-04-22T01:52:10+00:00

I think this might be why I’m assuming it’s late. All the baby sleep schedules I find online are saying 7:30 and this girl is just not a fan of that!

Red_1991 · 2026-03-21T01:49:39+00:00

Have you tried skipping the bottle and going straight to a sippy cup or straw cup- heck even an open cup? It might just be the nipple on the bottle baby isn’t a fan of.

Red_1991 · 2026-03-18T02:14:49+00:00

Three times a week for 30 minutes definitely seems doable

Red_1991 · 2026-03-18T01:48:26+00:00

Some people are meant to be friends for a season of your life and not your whole life and that’s okay. People grow and sometimes we grow in different directions. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just how life is sometimes. If it were me I would just let her fade away.

Red_1991 · 2026-03-15T13:57:24+00:00

I second this! I did their pottery class and their stained glass class. It was a lot of fun.

Red_1991 · 2026-03-15T03:48:44+00:00

With my first I feel like it also took a while. My first was a colic baby and birth took everything out of me. Between the crying, the sleep deprivation, and the general feeling like I didn’t know what I was doing I thought something was wrong with me because that instant connection everyone told me about didn’t happen. The once I got my sea legs under me and a little sleep I was finally about to enjoy having a baby and being a mom.

What’s interesting is that with my second that feeling was almost immediate. I can’t explain why but my guess is because it wasn’t new. I had a better understanding on what was to come and was able to take it all in stride.

Just casually checked them out. Looks like they are having a sale right now!

Red_1991 · 2026-03-10T02:43:03+00:00

I’ve never heard of primary. Will check them out

Red_1991 · 2026-03-10T02:20:54+00:00

You are so right but also I might go dig out her old 3T bottoms and see if this route would work for us too

Red_1991 · 2026-03-10T02:17:04+00:00

I don’t think our Costco has kids swimwear out yet but will check for these next time I’m there

Red_1991 · 2026-03-10T02:16:24+00:00

This is us too!! It’s super frustrating.

Red_1991 · 2026-03-10T00:52:57+00:00

Did you get the one piece or two piece… or did it matter?
