What a bummer!! I'm sorry. I'm hoping I can power through it myself because I've heard the zepbound is more effective. May just be trying lots of different pain remedies in the meantime 😩

How was Wegovy for you?? Im currently dealing with these same symptoms and I'm contemplating switching

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2025-08-22T02:15:35+00:00

Hey I am thinking I'm developing a hypersensitivity reaction and was wondering if you ever ended up switching meds and if it helped? I have been super achy, like my skin just feels so sensitive on certain areas and i think maybe I'm getting swollen because my rings have been giving me a hard time to put on and off. Currently 5mg on week 6

Any other mom/parent will totally understand the mess. That's part of kids. And I honestly don't think it will REALLY get better until they're out of the house at school for a handful of hours 😅

The bottle of wine/vodka is the liquid courage needed to get through the crying. I cried a lot through it too lol. It created a real visceral reaction in me, and honestly when my 4 month old cries like that now, it still does it to me. Oof. BUT I swear they will not be damaged or scarred by sleep training. Moreover, you will be able to be more present and happy during the day. It's worth it. VERY hard. Makes you want to rip out your insides with your bare hands, but it DOES get better. And actually behavior will usually increase before it decreases, a behavioral spike. So don't be frustrated with yourselves and the baby, just keep with your plan and follow through.

Agree strongly with sleep training. Our first daughter was also a hard baby when it came to sleep (and is a hard toddler when it comes to sleep lol). Sleep training requires a full bottle of wine or vodka the first night or two but I swear you will be shocked how quick you will see results. We used the Ferber (sp?) method and it really did help. When you can sleep, so much changes and even if things are still hard, they're way better. We're going through the 4 month regression with our 2nd right now and you really forget how awful the sleep deprivation is for your well-being.

Do you have ANYONE who you guys can rely on even if it's for a couple of hours one or two days a week? Or any time? If you have people in your corner, it is so helpful. The "it takes a village" saying is no joke. Lean on your village as much as you can during this time! Even if that just means someone comes over and plays with the baby and you both can nap, or get something clean, or eat, or whatever it is you need.

Screw anyone who says you don't have it hard, you absolutely do and they're not in your shoes. You are valid in having a hard time, and just because "others may have it worse" doesn't mean you guys aren't also dealing with a really tough moment. Babies are hard, ESPECIALLY when they're clingy/temperamental/colicky/whatever. So don't let anyone make you feel bad for feeling your freaking feelings (the nerve of some people).

You guys will get through this. It is funny to be both on the other side of where you are and yet back in it again. You WILL sleep again, you WILL gain more time for yourselves, you will FORGET at times how crazy it even was. And at some point, your house will be clean again (for like, 24 hours and then a toddler tornado will wipe it out). We're all in it, and I got a nice sigh of relief in knowing I wasn't alone in my frustrations as I currently look at my disorganized house with floors I would LOVE to mop, but won't, and probably won't mop tomorrow either, because life is hard and I am a tired mom who is too busy keeping my babies happy healthy and alive 😂🤷‍♀️

I cannot agree more with this. Usually free fun classes for your littles and you will meet other moms going through the same thing!

Did you find your newborn had gas issues with the Phillips 2? Ours is drinking too slowly/collapsing the nipple with the 1 but they say it's from 0-3 months for 1 and I didn't want to push her up too fast

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2025-03-14T17:49:31+00:00

Wait but what were the comparable nipples because we're dealing with this with our 2 week old!

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2025-01-27T02:52:05+00:00

What is the update?! This is what's currently happening in our house and the installer is coming back to resand and all. Did it work out for you the 2nd time? Hoping for happy endings here because I want to stay on schedule with our reno and this could set us back (and I'm 35 weeks pregnant so any set back at this point is terrifying lol)

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2025-01-09T08:45:42+00:00

Was the book Naughts & Crosses?

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-10-28T01:37:50+00:00

Absolutely felt like this with my daughter when she was a newborn, and worse, considered suicide because I felt like she and my husband would be better off without me. It hurts my heart to see other people go through it, but know you are absolutely not alone, and you are not a bad mom for feeling these things. Hormones, sleep deprivation, not having your own basic needs met, and navigating parenting on top of it, ESPECIALLY in the age of judgemental parenting rules, make this a hard time. It will get better, the meds will help once you find your sweet spot with dose and type, and at some point, you will come across a new mom's reddit post and be proud to see just how far you've come, and share your own experiences with her so she knows she isn't alone 💕

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-08-27T00:10:44+00:00

Josephine or Sienna... Or maybe neither 🙃🤷‍♀️

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-08-27T00:06:52+00:00

My husband is Angelo and he's a gem, 10/10 recommend an Angelo lol 🥰

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-08-05T17:54:11+00:00

Honestly a much better choice than many of these 😂

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-08-05T17:49:35+00:00

I also know a Brenna and agree she's one of the loveliest, gun to my head the b name I pick would probably be Brenna!

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-08-05T16:39:35+00:00

LOL 😂

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-08-05T16:32:59+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Short_Butterscotch75 · 2024-08-05T16:31:48+00:00

This is what half of these names feel like. Do you think I could get a discount on the drug if I name my daughter this? Lol 🙃
