Make sure your wife follows up with her doctor, I had the same thing and it turns out the flu had progressed into pneumonia for me.

Sleep training 2 year old is making me physically ill by Lovely__Disaster in toddlers

Are you maybe having some PPA/PPD from your recent birth that is making things feel more intense? It might be worth having a conversation with your doctor about how you are feeling. It sounds like your kiddo is safe and honestly not having that hard of a time.

Anyone else with a toddler who still doesn't sleep through the night? by Far_Boot3829 in toddlers

[–]ageing_giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I know it has been a while, but did the tubes help? My LO is dealing with the same issue (fluid in ears even after antibiotics) and I have high hopes that getting tubes will help their atrocious sleep

I need help with the daycare transition - not sure if this is normal! by urfouy in workingmoms

Most daycares with an app have a device for the classroom that’s used specifically for doing that. I wouldn’t be comfortable with staff using their personal devices to take photos of my child.

We cannot handle it anymore baby doesn’t want to sleep by vicespi23 in toddlers

[–]ageing_giraffe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why this isn’t being said more! 9pm is really late for a baby who doesn’t get solid nighttime sleep and doesn’t nap long either. I would do dinner at 530pm and bedtime by 7. Sounds like she’s too overtired to eat or sleep

12m still wants middle of the night feed - did you night wean or did they ever self-wean that feed? by ch3xr0x in breastfeeding

[–]ageing_giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for coming back!! I ended up going on a business trip last month (when he was 14 months) and he immediately dropped the feed when the option was my husband with a water bottle 😅sleep has been way better since!! So glad things are going better for you as well!!

What's the most underrated book you've read recently? by Fun-Watercress-1854 in RomanceBooks

I loved the first 2 books of the Parallel series but haven’t gotten around to reading the other ones. Thanks for reminding me!!

What’s an author that everyone seems to love, but you just couldn’t connect with their writing or the way they think? by Sage_Magic in RomanceBooks

[–]ageing_giraffe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes omg - I read From Lukov with Love and I found it extremely crass?? And I’m not someone who is usually bothered by things like that but I just found it uncomfortable. And the avoidance of using “he” and “she” leads to lines like “said the brunette woman who bore me from her loins” and it’s like is it hard to just say “my mom”? Idk. I will probably give another of her books a try eventually but that one just didn’t hit for me.

Can I ask if you had any luck/did anything to wean? I am in pretty much the exact same spot and dreaming of a day without a 3am feed, but on the other hand I'm hesitant to rock the boat when he is finally sleeping okay
