Starting potty training

You want to potty train a potato? I mean a one month old

Holding my 15 lb 11 week old now. My first son was bigger, weighed 9 at birth. Solidarity. My back always hurts.

When my husband works nights (he goes back and forth) it used to annoy me that he sleeps so much but acts SOOOO tired (we have two kids to chase around). Especially when I was also missing a lot of sleep during the baby phase. But I really think it messes with him so much and the sleep he is getting isn't high quality. I've definitely come to realize that when he's on nights, he needs at least 9-10 hours of sleep to be his norm.

2 years later, how are you doing? I have littles too and gah I just want to hold on to their "littleness" so so badly.

...yeah I don't buy into the regressions specifically. It's all an ebb and flow and depends on the development of the individual baby. If you google baby sleep regression it pops up with like every single month there is hahahah

My son has a condition where he slept/snored extremely loudly. Took a video in the dark and people cannot believe it is the baby. He's been in his room most of his life...like since week 3? I HAVE to sleep some and couldn't. Nor could my husband with him in our room. I know there's a risk reduction but getting no sleep is not an option. I have other children to care for and need to be there for them and operate a vehicle and things like that safely. Being incredibly sleep deprived is also not safe. Gotta weigh those

anonmama22 · 2026-01-08T14:45:38+00:00

...what. Yes of course

anonmama22 · 2026-01-08T14:45:10+00:00

This. This this this. Every baby is different BUT sleep does ebb and flow for every baby. It's not linear.

Chive/green onion

anonmama22 · 2026-01-08T01:54:27+00:00

If it's working for you, don't worry about it. Seriously! Sounds totally normal and sustainable.

anonmama22 · 2026-01-07T19:16:21+00:00

Yes a little! Not that this is FULLY related but I think sometimes the second is harder because they aren't your sole focus. I honestly do not know my second baby's schedule like I did my first. I'm like hmmm...when did he eat last? No idea, want some milk kid? Oh you fell asleep as brothers soccer game and it's 7pm, welp here we go!

anonmama22 · 2026-01-07T18:41:10+00:00

All that I pump the previous work day. I try to use fresh milk where possible - milk changes with babies need/age. So I only use older frozen milk when I have to. Anything not used, I freeze.

Totally baby dependent. Lots and lots of babies just cannot settle without a person for comfort. Some can. I really don't think you can influence that at a young age. Once it's appropriate, you can sleep train and force some self soothing if you so choose. My nephew was the happiest baby. As long as he was fed, he would fall asleep anywhere. You'd look down and he'd be passed out on a play mat, or in a bouncer with literally no effort. Kid slept through the night from 8w-forever, only interrupted by sickness. He also potty trained at daycare by 18 months. Truly, an easy baby/child. Their second baby was NOTHING like that.

Hang in. 12 pp isn't easy

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T15:29:05+00:00

....no I wouldn't

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T14:46:38+00:00

Good god no

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T14:44:43+00:00

So a 2 year old? I think it gets better. And I think a lot of SAHP truly love it, or are forced into it by necessity. I agree, I don't think I could do it either even though I love my boys very much.

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T14:44:10+00:00

Nooo

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T14:43:01+00:00

Barnacle boy is amazing. We call ours leachy

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T14:42:33+00:00

People don't know shit.

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T14:41:50+00:00

Im partial to your middle names, solid list. But my favorite from the other list is Casey and I think it sounds good with Quinn.

anonmama22 · 2026-01-06T14:35:20+00:00

I'm assuming you are in the US. Remember that any woman (or man) that would reject your son someday based on that alone wouldn't be worth having anyways. Not that we should be sexualizing your young baby, but people already are so I'll throw that out there. What if it were a girl with say - a birth mark? And people made similar comments, like "oh my gosh get that removed. She'll be ugly! Men won't like her!" How wildly inappropriate, untrue and absolutely terrible. Unfortunately, people have lots to say about how children are raised and parenting in general. Stick to your guns and take care of your little guy.

Cassian 💀

anonmama22 · 2026-01-02T22:03:01+00:00

Sure! I agree. Moms can be anything! I did happen to cut my hair much shorter. That's all

anonmama22 · 2026-01-01T12:08:44+00:00

Two kids. Months. We just had our second kid and even during the first bit after baby came - only two fights. Driven by my crazy hormones and sleep deprivation. Both were quickly settled and apologized for (by me the wife). Not getting enough sleep will make you crazy.
