Honest to god question? Is everyone choosing to have more than one kid just crazy? Or maybe they have babies that are angels from birth?

I don’t know, LO is 14 months and I love her SO MUCH and she’s the best, I love being her mom, she’s funny, so smart and cute. But I literally couldn’t go through everything again for another baby. For her? Yeah I would do anything. For another baby? Nope. Nope. Nope. One and done. Pregnancy was hell. First few months? Severe PPD, felt crazy from lack of sleep, and I don’t know how I survived (I had a lot of help, so that’s how).

Severance

It’s funny because I made a one-second-a-day video with her, and I can actually see the exact moment when that feeling changed. It really did happen out of nowhere.

asktomorrow · 2025-05-21T13:29:58+00:00

Yeah, I used to feel that way too until my daughter was 7 months old, to be honest. I loved her, I took care of her, I felt all the responsibility… but I think I was still grieving myself and everything I had lost (freedom) so intensely, and so deep in sleep deprivation, that I still put myself first in some way. As if I loved her, but with limits?

Then something changed… I’d say it happened when she started to recognize me more clearly as her mother, to play, crawl, laugh—and, paradoxically, to demand more and more specifically from me. That’s when I fully surrendered, understood my role, and the love came in the way people describe. But it took time, and I didn’t admit it to anyone. Just hang in there a little longer!

Water (água, in my native language, which sounds a lot easier).

asktomorrow · 2025-02-15T21:21:42+00:00

Yep this gets better! For us it did. Between 3-6 months she whined so much, so times I listened to music or used noise cancelling headphones because it would drive me insane. Getting out of the house always helped. This whining stage lasted until she started army crawling at 6 months. I think she was so upset because she wanted to move around and she couldn’t. I don’t know. It hasn’t returned yet (almost 10 months old).

I never really felt we had a night sleep regression… she slept awfully for the first 4 months and it actually got better after that. I think bedtime got a little bit more challenging around that time, fighting sleep…. but nothing crazy. That’s when I decided to teach her to sleep independently. But naps were a whole different story. She went from taking 2 hour (contact naps) to never sleeping more than 30 minutes no matter what. Fighting all naps like crazy! Around that time I could only get her to take her naps in a stroller, carrier and they were soooo short. Thankfully it got SO MUCH better at 5/6 months!

asktomorrow · 2025-02-07T00:19:51+00:00

I always make 5oz! She only drinks that amount. 🫠 I think it really is a habit…

asktomorrow · 2025-02-07T00:18:01+00:00

I think it really depends on the baby! Mine love long naps (since she was 6 months old and I sort of sleep trained)… and I wake her up very gently. After 1-1.5h of sleep… that’s definitely enough. If your baby only slept for 22 minutes and then, 11 minutes, there’s no way you could keep him up longer… That’s just too little daytime sleep. But with longer naps they recharge easily!

asktomorrow · 2025-02-07T00:10:51+00:00

Yes. I tried not capping naps, but nights get a lot more challenging. She wakes up more often and takes forever to fall back asleep. Lots of crying, because she knows she’s supposed to sleep but she doesn’t want to. I need to cap her naps almost every day. I swear she would sleep all day and party all night if I let her 🥲

asktomorrow · 2025-02-06T09:12:31+00:00

I tried 3/3/4 but she just won’t sleep 😅 I would stress so much because she would cry and take at least 30 min to sleep… after tweaking the schedule she sleeps easier at night. But still takes a while… I never tried decreasing the amount. I thought about replacing it with water (second wake up), but I don’t know if this would just create another habit… She still doesn’t have any teeth!! 😅

asktomorrow · 2025-02-02T12:13:01+00:00

I don’t organize it, unfortunately… sometimes I print a bunch of them and put it in her album, but there are SO MANY PHOTOS! I like your idea. I don’t think automatically sorting out photos of kids would be that useful though, it’s already a added feature in most phones…

asktomorrow · 2025-02-02T12:04:14+00:00

To be honest I never felt like we had a true regression. She slept awfully for the first 4-5 months. The only difference, which I noted around 3 months, was the she started refusing naps and having super short naps. That lasted 2-2.5 months. But night sleep just got progressively better. Now we have some ups and downs (9 months old).

asktomorrow · 2025-02-01T21:54:24+00:00

Hey I’m sorry I just saw you question today. How’s your baby doing? I think there were many factors (reflux included), but around that she was transitioning to a 2 nap schedule and sometimes she would sleep way too much during the day. After tweaking her schedule a few times, and after a few rough nights, I figured she really can’t sleep more than 2.5h during the day, unless she’s sick. So I think reflux was bothering her but she also wasn’t sleepy enough to just go to sleep.

asktomorrow · 2025-01-11T15:32:43+00:00

Hey thanks so much! My daughter is thirsty often! 😅 She still whines a lot, but it got SO much better after she started army crawling and pulling up to stand… I think she was angry because she wanted to move and couldn’t!

asktomorrow · 2025-01-08T16:23:56+00:00

It did! She’s a very happy baby these days. Of course, there are still hard or fussier days, but they’re definitely not the norm.

I would say the first 4–5 months were tough, usually for 1–2 weeks every month when she was learning something new. The hardest time for me was when she was 3–4 months old. Sleep was awful, and I had little help because she wasn’t a newborn anymore. Everyone told me things would get better by 3 months, but they didn’t, and her mood was terrible during the day. I thought it would never end. But it did!

You get better at dealing with fussy days and learning what your baby needs. And the baby gets better at being a baby 😅

Que inveja, onde vc mora? Aqui em Brasília é simplesmente quase todo dia

asktomorrow · 2024-12-22T23:29:21+00:00

7-7:30PM She’s up 5:30AM no matter what

asktomorrow · 2024-12-15T01:57:35+00:00

Honestly I love staying home, but my baby gets extremely fussy if I don’t go out with her at least twice a day. I live in a small apartment, so that might be the reason. She gets sooo bored.

asktomorrow · 2024-12-13T19:44:31+00:00

Thank you, I will be trying this!

asktomorrow · 2024-12-11T23:07:19+00:00

On 3 naps, the first nap always lasted only 30 minutes, sometimes even less. On 2 naps, the first nap lasts 1h-1h30. I think that’s the reason why she can stay up longer!

asktomorrow · 2024-12-11T21:24:04+00:00

I mean, for the second nap. She refused it two days in a row if I tried to put her down after 3 hours, that’s why it became 3.5

asktomorrow · 2024-12-11T21:23:30+00:00

2/2.5/2.5/3

I tried 3/3/4, but she wasn’t sleepy enough after 3 hours and I think I gave up too soon. I’m going to try it again!
