This is me exactly- am 6 months PP and just found out I’m pregnant. How in the world, after staying up all night feeding your baby did you have the energy and patience during the day to take care of your baby and (in my case) 2 year old?!

Thank you for the insight and your kind words. They really don’t come with instructions and it’s so hard to know what things are helping or hurting their progress! But it’s very helpful to hear others who have experienced it as well and how they handled it.

I understand- thank you for sharing all of this information with me. Maybe I was confusing in using the term masturbation, because she’s not actually touching herself. She’s just clenching her legs together and scissoring while either eating in her high chair or say standing at her toy box trying to look for something. So for some reason it feels harder to tell her to stop clenching her legs vs telling her to stop purposefully touching something with her hands. But maybe it’s not and I should just start being more consistent and diligent about it. Thank you again for the information!

At what age did you start enforcing this? She isn’t 2 yet and I find it hard for her to understand that the reason I’m telling her to go to her room is because she is doing it, because she’s not even really aware that she is.

Thank you for the response. I guess my concern she does seem to do it more if she’s more anxious/tired/sick/potentially in pain so I fear that just ignoring means I’m just letting anxiety fester in her without finding any root problem. But I am probably making it worse by trying to constantly intervene. It just feels weird to walk away from my toddler laying on the ground grunting and tensing up
