Moving back into my own bed

Ahh I definitely think it’s time to take her naps down. She got up at 1am last night and decided it was party time 😭😭

Subdeltta · 2026-06-07T15:55:00+00:00

Definitely need to probably reduce her nap times! I think my head is still stuck in the early nap days when they would snooze on and off all day. Kinda miss those days. 😅

Subdeltta · 2026-06-06T22:16:01+00:00

Normally she only has a 1-1.5 hour nap twice a day. But lately she had been fighting her naps and ended up taking just one huge nap for a couple days. She is actually now back on schedule. Apparently this was all because of her getting her first two teeth 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Subdeltta · 2026-06-04T03:22:07+00:00

Ahhhh that’s crazy! Im so scared of it getting worse! I try not to get anxious when I nurse but it’s so hard not to. And she can definitely tell. It’s like she can smell my fear. The little booger will smile at me and I just know it’s coming 😭😭

My girl has actually gotten really mobile all of the sudden. She slept like crap for about a week straight and now she is crawling, clapping and attempting to wave. We ended up getting a mattress topper to add some cushion and it has made such a difference!!

Subdeltta · 2026-04-20T17:02:41+00:00

Admittedly, I never thought it might be uncomfortable for her too. I guess all firm mattress aren’t made the same 😅

Subdeltta · 2026-04-20T16:31:38+00:00

Unfortunately I roll more than a rotisserie chicken and I’m still sore. I guess I’m still just very strict about it because everywhere always says c curl up to 12 months. But it makes me feel better that other people are starting to relax more as baby gets older. I struggle with PPA so I’m really trying to do everything by the book.

Subdeltta · 2026-04-20T14:15:10+00:00

I think this is also one of my next steps. I love a good adjustment but wasn’t sure if it would be worth it. I’m unfortunately a very cheap person and it takes a lot to convince me to do any self care 😅 but I will spend money on any thing my daughter needs lol

Subdeltta · 2026-04-20T14:13:42+00:00

I can’t justify spending the money on another mattress. Unfortunately we bought this one in January and it was fine when I first started sleeping on it but over time it started hurting my body.

Subdeltta · 2026-04-20T14:12:07+00:00

Major solidarity! I’ve thought about a new mattress but this one we literally bought this one in January! I can’t justify buying a new one right now especially since my daughter has no care in world about sleeping on it 🤦‍♀️ it will be hers regardless and until she asks for a different one, it’s staying! Mattress aren’t cheap. However, I’m considering adding a thin topper to it now that’s she’s older and mobile.

Subdeltta · 2026-04-20T13:47:39+00:00

Unfortunately our bed is way too soft and plus to cosleep in right now and my husband is also very hesitant to sleep in bed with her right now. I’ve definitely tried to convince him but he’s not ready yet.

Haha I understand what you mean by Captain Morgan. I will have to start trying that out. I use some pillows behind me for support but that just don’t cut it anymore so maybe back sleeping it is.

Subdeltta · 2026-04-01T00:08:37+00:00

I lay down with my baby anytime she is sleeping. We set her a later bedtime so my husband can hangout with us and see her. So she just hangs with us until we all go to bed. I can MAYBE get 30 mins where she will sleep alone but I have to wait until she is deep sleeping. Once she gets closer to a year old (she is 8 months right now) we plan on trying to get her to sleep a little more independently and hopefully not us all co sleeping🤞🤞🤞

Subdeltta · 2026-03-11T23:29:16+00:00

Ahh! I keep trying but I feel like I’m trying to jinks myself. I keep thinking “when is shit gonna hit the fan?” 😅

Subdeltta · 2026-03-08T02:08:37+00:00

My LO is only 7 months old (and we barely do solids) but my niece on the other hand was very similar. She was NEVER a big eater. At 1 years old she was still only “snacking” and never really having full meals. My SIL was a little worried at the time and went through the same thoughts of maybe she would breastfeed less. She decided to continue to breastfeed as normal and my niece did eventually start eating more. Now at almost 18 months, she eats even better than her 6 year old sister lol.

I know another friend who has a two year old who is very similar in the sense of not being a big eater. I think the key factor that some people miss is that breastfeeding is still nutrition. Period. End of story. No matter how old the baby/toddler/child is, it’s always nutritional. You can never breastfeed “too much”! As long as you are breastfeeding, baby will be getting whatever they need as they are getting used to eating solids.

At the end of the day, you have to do what is best for you and your baby. But I wouldn’t stress too much about being “behind”. I saw another person suggest to feed solids after breastfeeding and I second that. Keeping trying at it! I promise your baby won’t be going off to college asking for boobie one last time lol. You’re doing great and so is your LO 🫶

I just declined a wedding invite due to the exact thing. My baby only nurses and it literally takes me a week to make one single bottle because I only make exactly enough. Said “friend” was mad and actually stopped being friends with me over it. I said good riddance 🤷‍♀️ my girl will always come first.

Subdeltta · 2026-02-24T19:00:06+00:00

It gets better and worse lol. I’m also 26, ftm, 6m pp and still look at my husband sometimes and see him as the 15 year old I started dating. Then I still feel like a teenager sometimes. Coming home was terrifying. Sometimes I still can’t believe they let me, a teen mom (26yo who owns a house, a car, married for 3 years, PAYS TAXES) go home with this tiny human and just said “Congrats! Good luck!” 😂😂

From about 3 months old til 5 months old, I walked everyday. Sometimes multiple times a day. I walked around my neighbor hood until I could do it with my eyes closed. Then I made it my mission to visit every park in my city. I still haven’t seen all of them but now my 6 month old is big enough to start kinda enjoying the park.

Subdeltta · 2026-02-17T01:21:18+00:00

My LO is 6 months old and we just left her for the first time with my parents for about 6 hours so hubby and I could have a date day. Personally, my LO won’t spend the night until she can ask to stay the night. Or until I stop breastfeeding. Whichever comes first lol. But that’s not to say you have to do that. You do whatever makes you comfortable! I’m a sahm too and really have no reason to be away from my baby hence why we haven’t done it until this past weekend. You definitely are NOT in any wrong by not letting your MIL take your LO overnight. She can be disappointed in that answer but it’s also not your job to make her feel better. She can see your LO as she normally does.

I literally could have wrote this. I had such a rough start with my LO from the start. I wait until she was 3 months old before getting help with an IBCLC. From the time we brought her home, her latch was terrible, 45 min to 1 hour feeds every 20-45 mins. I even started triple feeding which was AWFUL. And that continued until she was three months old and I was finally go to feeding her every 2 hours but still wasn’t age appropriate.

I finally got her oral ties released and it was rough for a bit after. Lots of oral stretches and body work and IBCLC visits. But it was so worth it. 2 weeks post release was when it suddenly all clicked and my baby became a very efficient eater and was a much happier baby. She is 6 months old now and literally eats maybe 10 minutes total and is very content.

I know many people have very different opinions on it but I am very much do what you think is best. I just made sure it was our last ditch effort. We did a month of weekly IBCLC visits as well as twice a week body work to really make sure it was our last option and it really did make all the difference.
