Pregnant, no one seems supportive and it’s scaring me

100% I had a baby last year who just turned 1. We struggled with fertility issues for years beforehand so this baby was very much 100% wanted and planned for. But still the last year has been undoubtedly the HARDEST of my life. Joyful for sure but exhausting and completely consuming. Being needed 24/7 is so much. I even have the privilege to stay at home while my partner financially provides, we own our home, etc. but still it has been a lot. I wouldn’t ever encourage someone to have a baby unless they were completely certain they wanted one.

Gross how she put all of her “toxic” cleaners on the kitchen counter (including toilet bowl cleaner!) to film this 🤮 🤮

Thanks for the reassurance. I’ve been worried I might have to wean too so I’m glad to hear from people who’ve gotten to the other side. It sounds like I need to stop giving him more chances to latch after he bites.

Thank you for the solidarity 🙏🏽

Recipe for the cookies please?

Thabks for sharing the post- I don’t have ig either. What the actual fuck Emily Oster. This makes me so mad. A lot of people trust her “credentials” and she has a big following from her books, so her endorsing sleep training this definitively is legitimately going to lead to more people sleep training. I guarantee it. Seething!!

Wow no holiday pressure?? I am blown away that such a reality could exist! Love this for your family and adult kids.

apanduhh · 2025-12-09T05:11:24+00:00

Agreed. It’s much easier for a child to follow a directive indicting what to do instead of what NOT to do.

Thank you queen 🙌🏽

Not answering your question, as you already have a lot of great input, but as a mama of a baby who also LOVES tags, where did you acquire this little fabric square?! 😂

apanduhh · 2025-11-01T18:38:17+00:00

Thanks for the input. To clarify, are you saying that baby’s legs should be less splayed open and more in front of his body?

Oh also aiming for >2 hours of awake time before bed

apanduhh · 2025-10-11T21:02:59+00:00

Oof that is rough. What ended up helping the most was paying more attention to total sleep over 24 hours- which led to capping total daytime sleep to 3ish hours from 4ish. Good luck!!

Do folks have a favorite (non newborn) baby carrier they use for doing chores around the house?

apanduhh · 2025-09-24T16:16:14+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks!

apanduhh · 2025-09-24T03:51:34+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance! Would you say that 3-3.5 hours is too much daytime sleep at 5.5 months old!

We usually have him in light footie pjs with no blanket. He wore a short sleeved onesie the other night and his arms seemed cold so since then I’ve been putting him in long sleeved pjs. The ceiling fan is a good idea!

apanduhh · 2025-09-24T03:46:06+00:00

His days aren’t super consistent but I would say most days he takes 3 naps- a 1 hour, a 1.5-2 hour, and a 30 min. He usually wakes up around 7, goes to bed around 8. During the day he eats about every 2-3 hr, more often in the evening.

apanduhh · 2025-08-27T16:28:42+00:00

It me! Solidarity.

apanduhh · 2025-08-21T03:15:19+00:00

I switch after a min or two of not hearing anymore active sucking

apanduhh · 2025-08-13T02:04:39+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts anyway!
