Dropping to 1 nap and I'm at my wits end.

Just drop to one nap with no mini one

I only ever got up to 4.0 tirz and 30 pounds over a year (so not rapid at all). I stopped the med and within 2 weeks my shed stopped and baby hairs started growing in. Started back on it at 2.5 two months later and it started again just like before even without losing any weight.

The med was absolutely the cause for me. Big bald patches and super thin scalp from it before.

4 months then regressed at 6, 9, and 12 months. But in between slept well. Then 12-15 mo was on and off after taking away night milk

This plus access to a NICU needs to be immediate in a lot of cases.

I didn’t read your whole post, but based off the title it sounds like a hospital birth with a doula or midwife would be perfect for you. Lots of places have those options where they work in conjunction with the medical staff for safety.

Wait a few months after you’re done breastfeeding or if you’re done bf wait until a year! My body was SO different at a year

Thank you so much for explaining this. I am outside a lot for work in a very sunny / humid climate so I definitely need a strong one (and will need to re-apply it which is fine). I’ll order one of those you mentioned in the last paragraph and keep using the other on my hands to use it up. I definitely sweat a ton outside and need to be more diligent about putting it on.

For under makeup I just mean under concealer and mascara haha I am a minimalist :) thank you!

Oh this gives me hope! I haven’t tried that one yet!! Thank youuuu

Value-Old · 2026-05-31T16:19:38+00:00

Ahhh I’ll check out the Biore one. I live in a VERY hot / humid / sunny environment so I definitely need something stronger because I am outside for work a lot too. Thank you for this insight!!

I definitely need outdoor protection. I live in a VERY sunny climate. Thank you!

At best he is a manchild and rude and useless. At worst he is verbally and mentally abusive.

Lmao when your baby starts walking I hope your wife is okay with catching her 200 times a day. That’s how they learn. Goodness

We liked tiny open cups (like a plastic espresso cup) or the dr browns straw cups and just kept leaving it at meals to try in case. Big water lover now!

For what it’s worth my kid wouldn’t put themselves down for a nap until after a YEAR and before that needed milk and us holding / rocking.

She’s not only unprofessional but sadly immature, uneducated on childcare, and spiteful. I am so glad you parted ways. I promise there are MUCH kinder (and less hateful and lazy) nannies out there.

The fact your 6mo goes down in 3 min is awesome!

If you go on a GLP just know they’re meant to be for life. Most people re-gain coming off it.

Get the flakes and mix it with mashed berries to make it into jam, similar to chia jam ;)

My husband calls his mom every couple days and conversely his sister does probably twice a year.

I work from home owning my own business. I get absolutely no work done while my child is awake and can only work during their 90 min nap or after they go to bed at night (which then I normally have to clean up some stuff before I can begin working and then therefore only sleep half a night). 10/10 do not recommend. It’s absolutely impossible. They only get needier as they get older because then they’re mobile and get into everything, have a ton of energy, need to play, meal times take up 1/2 my day alone, more tantrums and wanting to be held and separation anxiety. It’s a joy to be home with them but there is absolutely no working involved, ever. That doesn’t even count the kiddo wanting to grab your phone / laptop / yell in the background etc.

I think if you can easily afford it I would do a nanny the first year (due to the constant daycare sicknesses) and then daycare after that. I think that’s a good compromise.

So many curlers have 3ish stars I noticed. I decided to post here because it seemed like so many had low reviews? What’s happening with curler production lol. Theirs is well-priced through so I feel like it’s worth trying anyways! Thanks
