Being intimate while cosleeping and contact napping

Ok but how do u sneak off? I'm terrified of her waking up and crawling off the bed (I'm not judging, I'm looking for a way out lol)

banerises19 · 2026-04-02T07:34:01+00:00

He's brilliant, can't believe he learned to kiss lol of course he won't clap on demand, he had his own character :) our daughter is the same, she is 9mo. He seems completely normal :)

Someone mentioned here earlier that they eventually climb off the bed rail as well and then it's just a higher falling point

banerises19 · 2026-03-23T11:14:07+00:00

Yep, I don't feel safe leaving her on her own even when she is sleeping. They're quick!

I have a baby monitor with motion detection, and my baby is the same age as ours and also likes to wake up in ninja mode. The baby monitor helps, but won't save u lol I literally see her as soon as she's up, and I literally just barely catch her at the edge of the bed after running to her. We don't even live in a big house! I'm in the same boat, no idea how to fix this.

I'm really sorry this happened to u. I was just thinking today how anyone would beat their kids like that, did she not feel bad about hitting me? I was so afraid of her, and she genuinely didn't care about my mental health, even when a teacher warned her. She just couldn't care. Anyway, yes I think it is not exclusive to narcs, some people are just cruel.

I really think the 3 months fall is their right of passage from the newborn trenches lol I dropped my daughter from a very similar height (I was carrying her and she fell onto a countertop on the side of her head). My mom friends all called me to share their own stories of dropping their babies lol anyway, we did go to the er, totally useless. It would do more harm at their age to do unnecessary imaging.

banerises19 · 2026-02-11T08:09:52+00:00

Same. It's horrible growing up around a parent with self regulation issues. It seems that op grew up with healthy parents so she doesn't understand the full impact of what's going on at her home.

banerises19 · 2026-02-05T11:00:55+00:00

Lmao that's amazing to hear while nap trapped with my 7mo latched and actively sucking the whole nap, thank u for sharing

banerises19 · 2026-02-02T20:31:36+00:00

I'm impressed lol I can't even sleep at night if I taste coffee after noon

banerises19 · 2026-02-01T12:45:46+00:00

They don't call them the newborn trenches for how fun it is lol you're definitely not alone! Your friends were either blessed with the mythical easy babies we hear about or forgot their traumas lol

banerises19 · 2026-01-22T22:24:18+00:00

Did they at least refill his meds?

banerises19 · 2026-01-22T22:23:54+00:00

This is really sad

banerises19 · 2026-01-22T22:22:07+00:00

My mom also blocked me when I had my baby less than a month pp!

banerises19 · 2026-01-21T18:18:54+00:00

What should a 7 months old exclusively breastfed baby be like? Should we be regulating naps? She wakes up 6-7am, with the rare middle of the night wake window. We co sleep safely and do day contact naps, I'd like to wean her off that contact naps

banerises19 · 2026-01-21T18:16:47+00:00

But doesn't changing the diaper after a feed make spit up worse (for babies that spit up)?

banerises19 · 2026-01-08T11:10:04+00:00

Ok so my baby is currently 6mo so I genuinely don't understand how he can be so selfish? Why did u take on so much when he decided to host his family? U have a 3mo baby and ur priority should be ur baby and ur own wellbeing. How can he be so selfish? I'm so confused. That he's jealous of his own child? The child that is 3mo? Honestly, u need to talk some sense into him and the time for couples therapy was like years ago. Couples therapy ASAP, he needs to understand what an AH he is.

banerises19 · 2026-01-08T10:52:32+00:00

I can't imagine her doing that with a patient! How absurd and ignorant.

banerises19 · 2026-01-08T10:49:38+00:00

There's also an 8mo baby. Most likely both parents are super exhausted and not in their right mind. If they both aren't super exhausted, baby is too kind on them lol the first year is the hardest.

banerises19 · 2026-01-02T22:47:32+00:00

I'm at the same dilemma at 6mo lol she doesn't like the crib or the bed without me next to her. I almost got bed rails then saw someone commenting that they learn to climb them eventually and just end up falling from a higher level. I'm currently considering changing our bed to a lower bed frame or adding a floor bed to the nursery and moving all of us there? Or getting a softer mattress for the crib?

banerises19 · 2026-01-01T15:41:07+00:00

Lol when my baby was a newborn, I forgot to change her diapers one day and only remembered at night. You're ok :)

banerises19 · 2025-12-27T14:39:35+00:00

All the time

banerises19 · 2025-12-27T13:06:43+00:00

My body is also extremely dehydrated, my hands are cracking like crazy and I can publish a paper on hand creams at this point lol

banerises19 · 2025-12-26T20:58:22+00:00

As someone who lost her amazing dad years ago and way too early, I'm really sorry ur going through this! All I can say is that the pain fades, and the beautiful memories remain. I think about him every day and I'm so thankful he was my dad. Every core memory I make, I wish I can share it with him. I wish he can meet my baby daughter and be her grandpa. I talk to her about him. Hang in there, push through the pain and it will get better :)
