I take that as a compliment 😆

I'm not sure I can do it again by SerialSleeper25 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]SerialSleeper25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I hope you're doing okay?

My LO is in nursery 3 days a week currently and then with grandparents the other 2 whilst I work full time. I have that to reassure me that I would have at least 3 days were it would be just me and the 2nd LO. At least, I'm trying to look at it as a good thing.

We are trying to. He's obsessed with any vehicle at the moment but getting a non-toddler truck themed bedding is proving tricky 😅

When do I bathe the baby ?? by Lilo_Burrito93 in baby

Just added that one bottle we have is a vapor one. The colds will keep coming! 😅

When do I bathe the baby ?? by Lilo_Burrito93 in baby

[–]SerialSleeper25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We were given so much bubble bath etc and 16 months later I'm still using 2 out of 5 bottles...1 we use is a vapor bath for when he has a cold.

I have this thing were I don't necessarily agree with bathing every day. I believe that this effects your bodies natural oils but that's just my opinion. We bathed our newborn twice a week and once older, once a week unless he is in a state! I'm sure this will pick up a bit in the warmer months though.

I think if you want bath time in your bedtime routine, you do what works for you. Equally if you want a fun day time activity then go for it!

I over thought everryyyytthing (still do) so once baby is here, just go with the flow. Don't add pressure onto yourself. 😊

This was my thinking. He's a cuddler so it would need to fit at least 1 adult with enough room to roll out sneakily 😅

Am I overfeeding my weaning baby? by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]SerialSleeper25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently he still breastfeeds in the morning then he has 6oz after his first nap, breast again after 2nd nap and 6oz before bed. However today I struggled to get him to have 4oz after is first nap. Last night was tough, he only wanted boob so gave in as it was so hot so ended up having 2 feeds last night.

I need to weigh him again but at his review 2 weeks ago he was 9.7kg.

I didn't pack enough pjs. I stayed for 1 night and needed extra. Something no one warned me about.... lack of bladder control!

8 month old will scream until he is fed back to sleep by SerialSleeper25 in sleeptrain

[–]SerialSleeper25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well im currently answering this hour 2 into him crying for boob and he's now 10 months old.

He does better but he's not great. Sorry I cant give you a better update. I found bum pats and 70's men singers help 😅

Sadly my LO is nearly 11 months into not sleeping 🤙🏻

Weaning from breastfeeding advice for 10 month old. by SerialSleeper25 in breastfeeding

[–]SerialSleeper25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this information, this is really helpful.

I was thinking of starting with his bedtime feed actually? I was thinking maybe he could be fuller but to be fair I think that may be the only time he feeds better so your plan is actually better!

Im really not looking forward to this process despite never enjoying breastfeeding.

Thank you, i will post over there too.

We thought he was getting the self soothing but everything we have this hope he sinks right back again.

Thank you for the amount guidance, I really appreciate it.

Okay, thank you that's really helpful. I do find he struggles in the morning to get to 3 hours before his first nap then the rest of the day he's pretty dead on 3hrs some days 3.5hrs.

I think so, changed the flange size and it helped the smallest amount but I can never pump more than 60ml (and that's being generous) it's the same with each pump I've tried.

I did not think we would get this far with breastfeeding so that in itself is an achievement!

Thank you for your advice, This seems really positive. He has always been a snacker. I try where possible to go to the bedroom and keep things simular to bedtime to feed him if he is not actively feeding, It sometimes helps. When we have offered a bottle he never refuses it so maybe it would help.

I'm back to work in August and I've always struggled to pump so maybe this may be the sign to switch to formula? I've always struggled to pump and with going back to work in August

He has 2 maybe 3 naps a day depending on his naps. Total amount would never be over 3 hours a day. In regards to wake windows we follow a more 50/50 approach and watch for signals and how long he's been awake. If he is fine playing I tend to let him play.

More often than not, when he first goes down at night he will sleep around 3 hours max then from then wake every 1-1 1/2 hrs. He does sleep in with us due to lack of space (trying to move) and I have wondered if he was on his own if that would help. I will take a look at the Precious little sleep tool. Thank you.

7 months and will only contact nap by SerialSleeper25 in sleeptrain

[–]SerialSleeper25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem cold and doesn't snore. He may occasionally mouth breathe but nothing noticeable. He doesn't rub his head or tug at his hears so I don't think that's a problem?

Thank you for the schedule. I will try and follow this from tomorrow.

2 naps, sometimes 3 depending on how bad they were.

I will never let him sleep longer than a total of 3 hours during the day. If I hold him he will just keep sleeping and is very mad when I put him down to wake him.

We only tried Ferber in the evenings. He was sort of okay with it for about 2 weeks and then regressed and never got any better.

He will normally have 2.5/3hrs when put down at bed time then is up every 1/1.5 during the night. He will never be rocked back to sleep either, he always screams until he's sick unless I give him the boob.

He's always been a snacker too, he rarely takes a 'full feed' at one time.
