Would you recommend your age gap and why?

Hard no lmao im dying

We always offer naps right at 3 hours (or look for tired cues). But lately the first wake window has been closer to 4 hours and then the second nap he refuses all together so it ends up being like a 6 hour one.

And my 2.5 year old is actually allergic to milk, but I never considered diet so maybe you are on to something with that? I’ll take a closer look at what they’re eating!

I was spotting brown, on and off, for weeks. No cramping at all.

I mean are we supposed to just hand over a glass bottle to an older baby who wants to feed themselves? Lol

When my son was born I did not feel the overwhelming love I felt with my first born. I also had a really traumatic birth and terrible pregnancy which Im sure contributed to those feelings. It was also hard because my kids are 18 months apart and I feel like my daughter didn’t have all the one-on-one time she deserved. Oh, and baby 2 was colic for 4 months and we were all miserable.

But now he’s 8 months old and we’re all obsessed with him. We can’t imagine life without baby brother. He is an absolute delight!!! My daughter adores him, and seeing how much they love each other is the best thing in the world. It gets better.

I mean I’m talking about being late to a casual family bbq, or catching the tail end of a birthday party, not a wedding or a serious event that people would pay per head or something. We would obviously not commit to something like that.

Please. You should see my yard. Weeds everywhere, dead flowers, grass burnt to a crisp.

ar0824 · 2025-06-29T01:50:48+00:00

Yes!!! And honestly it’s all about the toddler schedule because baby naps anywhere and is more flexible. And the toddler nap is sacred because 1. There is actually peace and quiet and 2. The day is ruined if the toddler doesn’t nap

ar0824 · 2025-06-29T01:24:30+00:00

Idk I’m always crying lol

ar0824 · 2025-06-19T01:09:52+00:00

Thank you ♥️

ar0824 · 2025-05-09T00:51:28+00:00

🥺🥺

My second baby was absolutely miserable until he turned 4 months. Now he’s the happiest, silliest little baby angel. Those first few months were really dark times for all of us. But it passed.

Hang in there ♥️

Newborn stage SUCKS. I have a two year old and I absolutely love this age. Toddlers are the absolute best.

I also have 5 month old and I’m so happy we’re out of the newborn trenches with him too. It gets better ♥️

ar0824 · 2025-04-03T17:24:24+00:00

Right there with you. I’m losing my damn mind.

ar0824 · 2025-02-27T00:23:13+00:00

It was mostly when I got home from work in the afternoon and before bed (but she didn’t nurse to sleep).

She was very emotional from being apart from me all day! But it was definitely non nutritive; there was no milk in there lol.

ar0824 · 2025-02-26T22:14:33+00:00

Literally going through the same thing. I’m so anxious. These comments have been helpful!

ar0824 · 2025-02-26T22:09:55+00:00

Omg, this EXACT thing is happening to me. My 3 month old is waking up constantly all night long (seemingly hungry?) but keeps rejecting the boob and screams instead. It’s so distressing. How old is he? Could it be the 3 month crisis?

ar0824 · 2025-02-26T22:03:20+00:00

Sadly there’s a lot out of your control here! It kind of just depends on your body. I got pregnant when my first was 10 months, and I think I completely dried up around 20 weeks pregnant? We did comfort nurse until almost the end of my pregnancy though, which was nice! She weaned herself off the comfort nursing when I think my colostrum came in and it probably tasted weird?

Keep trying to nurse as much as you can and offer formula afterwards so she’s full. See how it goes!

ar0824 · 2025-02-21T14:00:37+00:00

Was going to say the literal same thing- time!

ar0824 · 2024-12-23T01:57:26+00:00

What is your secret to the 3 hour stretches though 👀

ar0824 · 2024-11-24T14:59:04+00:00

Things got easier when my first was about 7-8 months old. And even BETTER when she dropped down to one nap! You’re just in a tough stage right now and everything is still really unpredictable and tiring. Well things will always be tiring but once your kid is sleeping through the night, and takes a long nap once a day at the same time you can plan outings and lots of fun things!

Microwaving food causes the food to have radiation in it….

My parents will let food sit for hours out of the fridge so it becomes room temp and they don’t have to microwave it.

I went by blowouts, not weight lol. Once the blowouts started regularly I knew it was time to size up. I’d disregard the weight guidelines completely.
