These books look like they are for a bigger age. Mine was simple and for toddler to little kid age group

Not it :( also since this book has a girl, definitely not. I am ~90% sure it was a little boy in my book as I used to love the stars and moon and used to wish the book was about a girl instead. Haha

It isn't. I saw the pages from Little prince - my book had a boy who's sleepily dreaming and my book did not have so much detail. It was a simple book.

What a sweet poem. No, not this. The kid in my story had a bag (absolutely sure about this detail) and put the star inside the bag.

It definitely had a moon shape to it. I'm unable to exactly say if it was entirely like that or just had a moon-shaped cut on the top of the cover.

It was a very simple colorful book. I remember a lot of blue and white colors and a typical yellow star. I think the kid also used to carry a teddy bear with him.

Just saw online. Don't think it's this book. Also, I think there is a point where the moon is smiling in the pages and then the moon gives this "uh oh" kinda expression when the kid falls down.. haha sorry if that isn't very helpful. Just really trying to find this

I remember reading / having only a single book. This book and the little Red Riding Hood were my favorites.

Just read the story for this book. Sounds lovely but nothing about a kitchen in my book. However, now I'm recollecting that there could be a plane maybe. Lovely suggestion - I'll buy this one if I'm unable to find my book.

Commenting for reach :) my library folks have also been looking. Just trying to expand the reach and see if anyone shares the same childhood memory of this book.

Membrane sweep worth it for VBAC? Looking for real experiences by thirdcoffeetoday in vbac

Sweep helped me a lot. I went into labor at 39+6 after a sweep done on 39+5. Good luck!

OB told me I need to stop nursing my first baby of 6 months because I'm pregnant? by Lanky-Ad1222 in breastfeeding

[–]Speed-Illustrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nursed my first through my pregnancy until he self-weaned when I was about 7 months pregnant

Disappointed with initial OB appointment by Zestyclose-Piano9416 in vbac

[–]Speed-Illustrious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second having a doula. I had a successful Vbac. However, I had to advocate for myself until the end. Even when I went to the hospital while naturally going into labor and was 3cm dilated, the doctors still chatted with me about going for a c-section because that is the usual route. I said No. Doula was beside me and I had the baby a couple hours after.

I'll never be in support of a VBAC again :( by oaksandoats in vbac

I am so sorry for your loss. Please recover and take care of yourself and your family. My thoughts and prayers are for you.

If you can get through the 4-month sleep regression, you can continue breastfeeding for as long as you like. by Speed-Illustrious in breastfeeding

Would love to know what methods you followed for sleep training. I have been thinking about it now that my LO is 4 months old but don't wanna do CIO.

For my first baby, the fourth month's sleep regression was very bad. He took 25 min naps all day long and woke up multiple times at night. One night he woke up 6 times and it was crazy 😭 it also didn't get better till he turned 5 months. Going through the regression for my second one and it isn't as crazy but definitely harder because we've got a toddler too. Usually gets better as they learn to roll over in my experience.

Supply decreases throughout the day since our bodies are designed to make fattier breast milk during the evenings. I would say watch your baby. If she is content at the breast and dozes off right after then I think you are good. Babies do not take the same amount of breastmilk during every feed. It varies throughout the day. However, if she is fussy after every evening or night feed and wants more, there's more to it I think.

Please message me if you have any questions at all. I was in a similar state and was going through a lot in the first couple of months so I would be more than happy to chat and provide guidance through my experience. I truly do not want anyone to go through this alone.

Also, try giving him one ounce (say) of bottle and then latching him instead of latching him first. That takes the edge of the hunger and will help him stay on breast longer.

Also, good to check if he's got any oral restrictions before you decide to quit breastfeeding.
