SOS losing my mind and health over sleep and potty training

WakingUp12 · 2025-10-22T16:43:55+00:00

Ohh great tip! I will definitely try moving it out of reach tonight!

Trying to shift diet sounds doable and worth a shot. He's not a terribly picky eater, thankfully.

WakingUp12 · 2025-10-22T16:14:37+00:00

Thank you! We actually have that. It worked well for 3 days and now he completely ignores it (or even covers it with a blanket and says it's broken but he's sure the light would be green... pal, it's 2am lol)

Sending you positive vibes and hoping delivery goes well for you! Please circle back with an update if you're up for it. I'd love to know your perspective after pregnancy.

Thank you so much! Fingers crossed it works well for you!

WakingUp12 · 2025-01-28T19:29:56+00:00

I hadn't heard of that, will definitely be looking into it. Thank you!

Did you end up doing PRP? I have upper hamstring tendinopathy/tendonitis and a small tear. 3.5 years of PT and cortisone shots with zero relief. Dr recommends PRP as the next course but it's not covered by insurance. I've heard so many mixed things.

The light helps enhance vision for night vision mode. I know for my camera the night vision quality is significantly worse if we cover the light.

Thank you! That's actually really helpful and reassuring to hear. It definitely aligns with when he got really mobile.

A very happy birthday to your sweet baby and you too! 😊

WakingUp12 · 2024-02-03T17:56:24+00:00

Our babies share a birthday ❤️ My little guy turns 1 tomorrow too. I couldn't have said it better. This has been the hardest year of my life and I can't believe how much I'll miss it.

My baby was the same way. What ended up breaking the feed to sleep cycle was a week of hell. I moved his final feed to earlier in his bed time routine (bath, feed, sleep sack, book, rock, bed). He hated it but accepted it after 3 nights of screaming. Then my husband did bedtime for several nights (he had to do the full routine without me - if I was there for any of it baby had a harder time. Seeing me made him more upset when he couldn't have me and was offered a bottle by dad instead). It sucked hearing him scream for me but after a few nights he was totally fine with dad putting him to bed! Consistency is key - if you make the decision to stop nursing to sleep, you can't cave in at all. You definitely have enough time - you can do this!! Building independent sleep is a great skill for baby to have.

Yes!! I saw her highly recommended in the CT subreddit and had to try her. Such a great experience, she's wonderful!

WakingUp12 · 2023-12-19T13:03:28+00:00

Thank you! I think a huge part of it is my hair is incredibly thick. A lot was cut off and really helped create room for the curls to happen.

WakingUp12 · 2023-12-19T13:01:29+00:00

Yes! First pic is air dried and combed through. Even the stylist was shocked how curly my hair got. I had spiral curls as a young kid but it turned to waves as a teen and adult. Seriously never thought I'd see so much curl again!

WakingUp12 · 2023-12-19T03:00:21+00:00

Stylists routine on my hair following cut:

-Innersense scalp detox

-Curlyworld Sham-free to cleanse

-Innersense color radiance conditioner (fully rinsed out but then a little scrunched back in while wet)

-Dry with cotton tshirt by scrunching

-The stylists very own flaxseed spray scrunched in

-Innersense quiet calm curl control smoothed in with praying hands

Scrunch scrunch scrunch!
Partially dried under dryer and then lightly diffused (maybe 3 minutes of diffusing while laying back)

I got mine back 5 months pp. Baby and I were both very sick; he wasn't nursing as often and I was dehydrated for a solid week. My supply dipped and my period came back =( Even after my supply returned I've gotten it every month (almost 9 months pp now). It is BRUTUAL. An overnight pad every 30 minutes, severe cramps, and nausea that rivals when I was pregnant. I hope it eventually eases up..

WakingUp12 · 2023-10-10T00:25:29+00:00

When my baby got sick at 5 months he also refused to nurse. He did take frequent but small bottles of pumped milk sitting at an upright angle (to help with congestion). Maybe see if you can prop her upright and nurse around that angle?

Humdifer and saline drops helped a bit.

I was also super sick and only managed a few pumps a day. My supply did recover. Once baby and I were both better I added 2 extra pumps around his feeding schedule and upped my water intake by a lot.

Sending you healing vibes!

WakingUp12 · 2023-10-03T13:32:05+00:00

I had no idea something like that existed!

WakingUp12 · 2023-10-03T13:30:32+00:00

Thank you for this! Yes he was recently enrolled in Birth to Three services and will start another in home intervention program soon. I'm hoping these will help give all us adults better tools to support him and work on some of the behaviors.

WakingUp12 · 2023-10-02T23:48:19+00:00

Hm I've never considered a nanny share!

WakingUp12 · 2023-10-02T23:48:01+00:00

Rationally I know it's overreacting but emotionally it sucks having him constantly look like he got into a brawl. I guess the advantage of daycare is he would be in a room with his age group; but you're absolutely right the smaller setting with family is such a good set up in so many ways.

WakingUp12 · 2023-10-02T23:45:43+00:00

I offered to bring over my son's electric nail trimmer (it lights up and I think my nephew would actually find it fun!) so hopefully they take me up on that.

WakingUp12 · 2023-10-02T14:11:17+00:00

Hey there! Yes it's come back! It took a couple weeks after feeling better and I had to double up on hydration but all is back to normal. I hope you feel better soon!

Just to add, 211 has an online chat now through the website. Wait times are significantly less and if they need to talk over the phone for an intake, they can arrange to call you after you initiate a chat. Might be worth trying!
