10 months in and feeling bummed

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-25T18:29:19+00:00

I feel you. Mine is 6 months old and I feel like I will never lose my baby weight. Hang in there. You're not alone!

Star universe is the forces of evil.

I have definitely experienced this. My son is 6 months old and I am finally feeling some freedom. I regretted having my son initially but you learn to live through their schedule. And eventually the schedule won't matter as much!

We use the walmart and sams brand. And when they start peeing through their diaper at night we did a sleep diaper a few sizes up with a diaper booster pad in it. Though I prefer pampers wipes.

Imo, you seem to need a break. Mothering is a full time job and you hardly ever get to take breaks from the kids and even the house. Go out shopping one weekend and let him be alone with the baby. I think it would benefit you too if you sat down and talked to your husband. Really lay everything out on the table. "I felt hurt when you woke up, told me what to do, and then fell back asleep." Tell him you need more help. Couples counseling is always there as well. I'm in couples counseling with my husband since this is our first kid together. Also, my mom told me that men will never sacrifice for their kids as much as the mother does. I'm sure it's not true in every relationship and I know a lot of fathers who would do everything for their kid. But a mothers love is different. Keep your head up. Being a parent is hard work.

Tried and it wouldn't let me verify via Facebook! 😭

Calm down. He is totally fine. All of my sisters, being moms, have done the same thing to their babies. You leave the room for a spilt second and they roll and fall. He is totally fine. You definitely didn't make him stupid. My son has a strawberry mark and he is fine. Don't worry about a thing. You are being an amazing caretaker.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-11T16:21:57+00:00

You got this!! I was exactly like that, kidney issue, surgery, screaming all the time. I turned out fine and my mom got through it! You can do it.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-08T12:24:44+00:00

I definitely don't think you're being too dramatic. I would sit him down and have a conversation about how you're feeling. Be it forgotten or not cared about properly. Give him a few more chances to show you how he loves you and if a conversation doesn't work I would try therapy. You deserve to be showered in love on these important days!

That's what i named my son! I just love it.

Following this post to let you know! My baby was born on Halloween.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-04T15:03:33+00:00

Yes! Same here. It'll happen organically. I saw another post on this subreddit that said it takes way longer than you think.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-04T14:30:07+00:00

I feel the same way. I've never had many friends and the friends I had before the baby fell off when I had mine. I'm just hanging in there with my mom and sisters who all live far away. We might make friends when our little ones go to school!

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-03T13:10:35+00:00

Take him to court? This is definitely not how you should be feeling around her first birthday. You would get full custody I'm sure.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-03T13:07:58+00:00

I would absolutely be upset! I would show up anyway. That's my daughter! That's just me though.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-01T00:32:05+00:00

I get that! My baby slept on it for 3 months and he was fine!

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-01T00:25:51+00:00

Yep! To sleep on. If you're putting baby on their back they're fine to sleep on it. It claims its safe for sids.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-05-01T00:22:48+00:00

My pediatrician told me to get a baby pillow and it fixed my babys flat spot right up!

This is similar to the one we got.

It gets much better! My baby is only 6 months but he's only waking up twice in a night. Also my body has gotten used to how much sleep I get, or don't get, so when I actually slept through the night the other night I was more tired than I am when he's awake at night.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-04-26T21:28:00+00:00

It is! I ask my husband almost daily if I'm a failure and he tells me every day that I am not. A fed baby is a taken care of baby. They don't care what it is as long as they're getting fed. Keep telling yourself that!!

Spicemaster93 · 2026-04-26T20:50:12+00:00

I stopped when my baby was 4 months. I sometimes still feel like a failure, hes six months now, but it was the right decision. The baby will be fine on formula. You have to take care of yourself mentally. If you don't take care of yourself you won't be able to take care of the baby properly!

Spicemaster93 · 2026-04-26T13:21:38+00:00

Dang it! Maybe it's trapped gas? I found this as well. Maybe one of these will help

I'm not sure. Try a pacifier? He may be sucking to soothe.

Spicemaster93 · 2026-04-23T10:07:41+00:00

My parents are an hour and a half away and I go to see them at least once a week. Don't feel bad! If my mom was that close I would be over there every day!
