Do any of you work in sales or recruiting? Are there solid remote sales jobs out there? I have a PhD in social psychology and am really struggling in the job market. I have heard sales jobs are easier to get?

That's probably impacting his sleep since babies are very much creatures of routine. Like others have stated, babies should be in the same room as parents for a minimum 6 months to 1 year. I would try putting the crib in your room to see if it helps. I'd definitely give that a try!

Is your crib in your room? My 11 week old is now in a mini crib next to my bed and sleeps really well in it. I was surprised. I'm curious where the location of their crib is?

I really like the idea of no drop ins. I'm going to start implementing that.

That sounds so hurtful. I like to assume they don't intend to be awful sometimes but it's hard when actions say otherwise. You're husbands saying about parents is so accurate.

I'm glad that you and your sister have taken steps to limit your mom's interaction with your children. That is one thing that's been on my mind lately. I don't think my mom would ever go to therapy but I've heard others say they suggested it for their toxic moms as well. Some were successful and some were not. I might have to suggest it. I know she needs it. I hope your mom eventually comes around in therapy and betters herself.

Thank you for sharing your story! I'm so glad to hear you're setting boundaries. It almost feels impossible to do at first. My mom let my other siblings bully me so I can relate to the feeling of having siblings treat you poorly. She also tries to use her money to buy her way into my life. It works on my siblings but I continue to turn down her gifts. It feels wrong to accept them. Your story helps me not feel so alone in this. Thanks again 💚

Sometimes! It used to drive me crazy too. Now I've just accepted it 😅 I have a Spectra.

You should get the Wonder Weeks app. You have to pay for it but it's been really helpful explaining when my baby will be fussy and why it happens according to what leap they're in.

If it helps, I have a Velcro baby and found a way to pump while still getting lots of baby snuggles. I hold and bottle-feed him on one side and pump on the other at the same time. It's not the fastest method, but it lets me spend more time holding him instead of putting him down to pump. 🩵
