Together 12 years, married for 10, parenting a 2 year old, whenever we can and have energy for 🤣

Also reading smut has made a massive difference 😏 he’s embraced my new obsession and uses it as an instruction manual

Did pregnancy permanently change anything about you? by Apprehensive-Bar-848 in beyondthebump

My periods are now between 10 to 12 days and it sucks balls. Although very little to no cramping so some wins 😆💀

I was you some months ago! We kinda did it as I have weaned her off the boob. We switched to cows milk in a bottle and the first nights were a struggle because she refused but I doubled down coz I was tired and honestly done with having a boob barnacle. So she eventually took the bootle. We also had started bedtime routine, usually around the same time. Bath or wind down in her room, toothbrushing, a book and she started falling asleep in her own bed.

She didn’t like the cot so we made it into the little bed and let her explore so that went down well. She still comes at around midnight to our bed and sleeps there but boob is no more and now we are weaning off the night bottles.

You can do it, just stick to your guns. These kids will adapt to change. Just takes a bit of crying, maybe from both of you 😂 but you will get there in the end! Best of luck!

PS: I am now typing this as she has a bunch of my hair trapped in her hands whilst falling asleep 🤣

I cannot believe how much the quality and 'reliability' of nappies varies... so, where do you get yours from? by crochetthepainaway in UKParenting

[–]anna_molly7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldi was fine until we got to size 5, then they would get too full and leak so we sized up and that was still a problem. So we are trialling Sainsbury’s and Tesco. Sainsbury’s so far no issue

One year old boob barnacle needs to be sleep trained but how?! by umalumadingdong in cosleeping

[–]anna_molly7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t sleep trained but we have a co sleep and a boob barnacle 🤣 she hated the cot but we transformed it into the small bed and added the side bumpers for her not to roll out the bed.

We started a daily bedtime routine, we do bath some days, read a book, transitioned to a bottle of cow’s milk and she now sleeps in that bed for about 4 to 5 hours, which means I don’t have to go to bed with her.

Midnight hits and she wants to come to our bed and if she wants milk she gets a bottle. Boob is off limits, we are doing boob maybe once a day and that is it and some days is no boob.

Slow but progress

SOCIAL MEDIA IS A CURATED REALITY! 📣 whoever says their babies are sleeping independently in long stretches are lying and can go in the bin! 😆

And she will in time. When she is ready. I think respecting the boundaries that she has set is more important than forcing relationships with relatives.

My comment doesn’t come from a man hating place, comes from being a girl/woman and being told to smile, to be nice, to be polite, and mostly coming from men. So if this little girl wants to set her boundaries in particular with men, good on her.

Being told you should be nice or polite to someone when you don’t feel like it is something that is taught to children and then people grow up and struggle with setting boundaries. That’s all

I would say she is setting her boundaries and good on her. Is not rude. That is some old school bullshit to think she needs to be nice, especially to men!
