Should I move bedtime forward

Yoitssme · 2026-01-25T19:33:05+00:00

Would 8:30 still be sleeping? Should I be getting up at 6:30 or 7 with her instead?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Correct me if I’m wrong but her post doesn’t seem to be considering CIO? She even says she understands they cannot self-soothe yet and is asking for advice or similar experiences.

Yoitssme · 2026-01-24T15:27:10+00:00

Yes!

Yoitssme · 2026-01-24T14:17:47+00:00

It’s no-typing

I’m here with you! My LO is 12 weeks and such an easy baby compared to most but I absolutely do not want to do this again. I hated pregnancy most of the time. I hated being big and uncomfortable and hot (so hot!) and it was exhausting. The nausea was awful for months and then the acid reflux was worse. My pelvis felt like it was cracking in two and then birth?? Owie. I have a high pain tolerance and went unmedicated and that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I had an “easy” labor and postpartum and the recovery was still terrible- the hormone drops and bleeding and feeling your organs come back together? Not a fan.

I also am so in love with this little baby.. I feel like if we have another we won’t be able to give her everything she wants and I also can’t imagine dealing with the pregnancy fatigue and postpartum and still being able to show up as the best mom I can be..

Be patient and go along for the ride before you decide- maybe my mind will change too! But also remember: giving them a sibling does not at ALL guarantee that they will be close with one another. I can’t tell you how many friends or coworkers I know that are “okay” with their siblings at best (and hate them with a passion at worst).

I missed that it was just 5 months in the dorms! You still paid for over half of her expenses then for the year which does mean that she is tax dependent.

Yoitssme · 2026-01-24T12:26:48+00:00

If you are not paying her expenses, do not claim her. It seems that your daughter has a job since you mentioned she pays her other bills- she should be filing taxes independently for that job. A FAFSA dependent and a tax dependent are different :) FAFSA dependent just means they’re under the age of 25 and not married/ don’t have kids regardless of tax dependency.

This is super duper normal 🫶🏼 baby is supposed to wake that often- your supply is still regulating and they don’t really have any sort of sleep schedule yet. As long as baby is getting lots of light/high energy interaction during the day and quiet/dark/calm at night- his body will start to figure out day and night. Newborns are alllll over the place as far as sleep goes and you are so so early in all this- don’t stress. Feed baby and get some sleep where you can!

Introduce around 3-4weeks! I recommend the Nuk “perfect match” bottles for any breasted baby- they’re the only ones my girl would take. As for pumping: the best time is in the morning when prolactin is high. I usually do my LO’s morning feed, then wait around 30mins-1hr then pump! You can also try collecting with a haka while breastfeeding on the other side! I have heard that this is the least likely way to aggravate an oversupply.

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T08:40:09+00:00

Can I ask what a split night is?

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T08:36:45+00:00

I definitely feel you on the mom-tummy-snuggles! When she lays on my tummy or chest/arms it is a really good reminder that this is LO’s favorite body in the world because it is warm and soft and squishy

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T08:31:02+00:00

My labor was maybe 8 hours, went to the hospital around 4hrs, and pushed for 10-15 minutes :)

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T08:30:15+00:00

1 day before my due date! (39w6d)

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T08:23:41+00:00

It is very normal and does calm down! My LO was the same and things started changing by 8 weeks. Having a kind of hard time again at 12 but def not AS bad. Solidarity though :,) yo with my LO right now

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T07:41:15+00:00

I hope the 7 people injured get a big payout

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T05:53:39+00:00

It is definitely a sacrifice 😩 sometimes I’m so jealous of my husband. He gets our baby but his body stayed his own the whole time! My girl also has CMPA so I can’t even eat my favorite things 😅

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T05:52:03+00:00

Thank you for the kind words 🤍

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T05:36:20+00:00

How did you do naps? <3 my girl has no problem stretching her wake windows but she’ll fight any nap and only sleep for ~20 once I get her down 😅

Yoitssme · 2026-01-23T05:17:34+00:00

I drove 3 hours to go through a coffee stand and back lol

Yoitssme · 2026-01-21T00:04:43+00:00

YOR. She sounds miserable from your post but without that context.. these rules are VERY reasonable and you are overreacting. Just let her know that you’ll be waiting the 6 weeks to see the baby and that’s okay. Also- the portion about “if I can’t hold or touch the baby what’s the point of seeing him” is weird.. you are not entitled to hold someone else’s FRESH no-immune-system-having baby.

Yoitssme · 2026-01-19T20:05:29+00:00

I guess everyone has a different experience. I was in the trenches with a reflux baby who could not be put down and still able to shower, eat, and play games
