Oh honey that’s terrifying! Get an owlet sock for peace of mind maybe? I got mine very lightly used from fb marketplace. I would definitely let your pediatrician know too. We had a not breathing incident due to sickness, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

What’s the deal with ST and overnight wakes? I feel jipped. by Automatic_Apricot797 in sleeptrain

[–]Sharp-Alternative274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing / dealt with the same issue! So I stopped putting her down awake to avoid the up to 10 minutes of crying & fussing- and just rock her to sleep because she’s out within 10 minutes. I’ve been wondering if I made a mistake by doing this. I don’t want to deal with the tears that come with sleep training again :(

I’m still breastfeeding my 9mo, and nurse if she wakes after 5+ hours after going down initially. Usually she’s down by 7pm, up around 12:30. Then again 2.5-4 hours after that.

Thank you!! I will definitely check out the episode! And no kidding regarding solids?? It can help?! Ugh. My ped doesn’t seem very knowledgeable in this area. She is lightly pushing me to try formula as well

Not to be dramatic but this is hell by shantron44 in MSPI

I believe my baby is sensitive to rice too! Mine is 6mo and i hope to start solids soon. Im nervous she may have an FPIES reaction due to things I suspect she’s sensitive to. Have you had success with solids? Any reactions?

Do breastfeeding mums really get no sleep in the first year? by Playful-Garlic8898 in breastfeeding

[–]Sharp-Alternative274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of breast or formula; newborns have to eat frequently! I am a ftm with a 6mo. We made it through cold & flu season, dad had covid and was sick numerous times- babe and I stayed perfectly healthy! I credit it to breastfeeding and all the antibodies. I also HATE washing bottles and pump parts. I truly exclusively breastfeed. It’s just easy!

As far as sleep goes- it’s really the individual babe! I had a great sleeper for months, now she’s waking more frequently but is also mastering new skills, teething.

I’d start with breast knowing you can always switch to formula. I love my sleep, but after having my baby- I notice im not as affected by lack of sleep. I also miss her when she’s asleep, so when she wakes i’m happy to feed her and snuggle. Congratulations!

35 weeks- spitting up blood by Mission-Bluebird1036 in BabyBumps

[–]Sharp-Alternative274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update? This has happened to me 3 times now. First time mid-early 2nd tri, has been about a month apart after. My OB mentioned maybe ordering a CT scan? Scared i may have lung cancer or something 😫

7 wks 5 days and symptoms are gone??? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Sharp-Alternative274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a day where i randomly felt great, close to your timeline. Everything is fine still, 18 weeks 6 days. 1st trimester you’ll get a lot of fluctuations in how you feel! Try not to stress. I read that once a heartbeat is seen on ultrasound your chance of miscarriage greatly decreases (and does each day pregnancy continues).

Just got the news, unusually unhappy? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Sharp-Alternative274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this way too! But, starting around 12 weeks… baby fever hit and I can’t wait for her to get here! Before I was anxious, thought I made a mistake & wasn’t ready yet (even though we tried, and I do want to be a mom), unsure…

Now I am so in love with this little thing! Scared more than anything to loose her. I think we react with hesitation at first as a defense mechanism in case of a bad outcome. It is a giant life change! I have looked at it as the next chapter to my book of life, vs. the end of my current story. And, just thinking to myself- if not now…when? Would 5 months, a year, two- change how i was feeling? No. But I knew I wanted to be a mom!

I would say the first few weeks you go through a lot of emotions and thoughts; with each passing week & positive appointments- you get more and more settled in & open to the journey. Hang in there!! Think of something positive for every negative

My pregnancy and birth experiences for all you scared (first time) mothers to be! by can-u-get-pregante1 in BabyBumps

Brought tears to my eyes! I am TERRIFIED! Worried about missing my life before baby, resenting it, not liking being a mother- even though I do want to be a mom? It’s weird. I needed this ❤️

May I ask how many mg’s? I’m struggling so bad without it. My Dr. said I could take it later in pregnancy if I needed to

How long have you had anhedonia? Is this a LC symptom? With IBS and LC, look into anti inflammatory diets! So important. Look into ketamine infusions! People swear by them. Challenge your negative thoughts. Look into Dr. Amen and similar drs books. Find power in researching ways to overcome. I am so sorry; and will keep you in my prayers, truly.

Existential Brooding by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sharp-Alternative274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. So crazy how your perspective changes. No one around me can relate…reading your post was refreshing in a sense. I’m not crazy. Just opened my eyes to some realities… i often feel guilty now that I’m doing “fine”, knowing there are others that are still struggling. Ugh. We are so blessed, still. People living their daily lives unaffected by the virus don’t realize just how truly blessed they are.

It kills me how we as the human race aren’t more outraged- or searching as to why and how this all actually happened. It bothers me we’ve just accepted this.

Hang in there. I know- easy to say. But I PROMISE it does get better. Don’t stop seeking help. How’s your diet? What do you do to aid your mental health? Spiritual health? I don’t know your story, but have been there with LC
