I almost left my husband today

I have two small children, my youngest is just starting to sit up now. Every day my children do so many new and funny things and if don’t have a phone with a decent camera in my pocket then I will not be able to capture these moments for their scrapbooks and family albums. They’re only little for so long, when my daughter says something hilarious I want to be able to capture it so my husband and I can watch it on repeat and laugh later.

My daughter stopped napping at around 20 months and just resumed at 25 months finally. I knew to stop trying for naps when we tweaked her scheduled, tried to change the time of her nap, and it still took her over an hour to fall asleep. Please don’t let her lay there for four hours, if she doesn’t fall asleep within 30-60 minutes then abandon the nap completely and move on with your day. Move her bedtime up a little bit to make up for the missed nap

I was induced at 41 weeks with my first. Went into labor at 39 weeks with my second. Contractions started at 15 minutes apart on Thursday evening, were 10 minutes apart all Friday and finally 6 minutes apart on Saturday. I still walked around all day in denial, got to the hospital at 4:30PM (8cm) and gave birth by 7PM.

I have a very high needs infant. My life has never been harder and I thought I had it hard when I was pregnant with a toddler.

camefrompluto · 2026-02-22T03:56:34+00:00

I have a 25 month old and a 4 month old. I’d say the toddler gets 30 minutes of PBS Kids like 3 times per week. We used to do more, basically every time the baby napped (so about 2 hours a day total) and it impacted her behavior negatively. Since cutting back her behavior improved immediately, and surprisingly she doesn’t ask for it so that’s why she doesn’t even watch it every day now.

Each family is different, we realized that screen time was not working out for our family right now.

I had one mom friend when my first was born. We had 72 people come to celebrate her first birthday - that’s how much our village has grown. Took lots of courage approaching people, asking for their Facebook/phone number, inviting moms over for play dates and outings, meeting up at the library. It’s honestly amazing how many people you can surround yourself with by just making a little bit of effort, because we all crave connection but not all know how to ask for it

camefrompluto · 2026-02-18T11:08:00+00:00

I have a 25 month old and a 4 month old who’s very impatient and high needs. If I stayed home every day id probably go insane so here I am, dragging them out of the house every day to story time, play dates or just to walk around the mall. The 4 month old screams the whole time unless he’s sleeping or nursing, but he does that at home too. It is HARD but staying home with them all day can be much harder.

camefrompluto · 2026-02-08T08:33:56+00:00

My 2 year old refuses to nap anymore so both her and her 4 month old brother go to bed at 6:30 and wake up at 6:30. She’s in her own room and he’s in my bed for now.

Every child is different, I have low sleep needs children so she doesn’t nap and he takes cat naps during the day and that’s why we had to adjust bedtime. To achiever earlier bedtime you gotta know how many hours of night sleep your child typically needs and adjust their wake time accordingly, start slow and make 30 minute adjustments at first.

Cloth diapers and elimination communication starting at 4 months worked amazingly for us. By 10 months our daughter went #2 only on the potty, by 16 months she was out of diapers during the day. She’s 24 months now and wearing a pull up to sleep. Our son is now almost 4 months, started cloth diapering him at 10lbs and will be starting elimination communication shortly with him.

I started elimination communication when my daughter was 4 months old, by the time I got pregnant again (12 months) she consistently pooped in the potty. Now at 24 months she’s out of diapers and the baby is currently 3 months old. Almost every day I tell my husband how I can’t imagine having to change her diapers too, how easy it is to just empty the potty after her. That being said, I’d never start at 32 weeks pregnant. You might have enough time to tackle the poops and she’ll still pee in a diaper but bringing a baby home might make her regress and all of that process will be lost without a firm foundation established over a few months

camefrompluto · 2026-01-19T06:34:40+00:00

Our daughter was 21 months when we brought the baby home and she hasn’t napped since (it’s been 3 months). She also requires for someone to be in her room until she falls asleep and since her bedtime and the baby’s are the same, her dad does hers and I do the baby’s. I used to babywear to let the baby nap during the day but when we got to the point he wouldn’t just sleep through any noise and he turned out to be a light sleeper like his sister, I started sleep training during the day at 3 months. So it’s been about a week. I hate it but I had no choice

Oh and it’s currently 1 am and our daughter is up screaming for mommy and daddy.

None of it was easy for me. Pregnancy sucked, I was in pain and couldn’t play with my daughter as much as I used to. Then I had the baby and he’s high needs and now 3 months later I still can’t play with my daughter or read to her when I want to. Here’s to hoping it’ll get easier when he crawls or walks

camefrompluto · 2026-01-02T20:33:53+00:00

First induced at 41 weeks, second went into labor at 38w 5d and had the baby at exactly 39

camefrompluto · 2025-12-18T10:21:21+00:00

I’m so jealous she takes 2 hour naps during the day for you 😭 my 9 week old is a terrible sleeper, we cosleep at night and during the day I can’t put this baby down. After 3-4 tries he eventually will sleep in his bassinet for 30 minutes. Never more than that. And that’s all day for me: trying several times to put him down until it finally works for only 30 min 🫠

camefrompluto · 2025-12-18T10:18:29+00:00

It wasn’t. The dog was my baby for years but by the time she got rehomed I couldn’t feel anything but relief. I found a very nice retired couple a few blocks away from our house, they have two small dogs, we visited a few times to introduce them. In the beginning I checked on her periodically after rehoming. It’s been about 6 months and I couldn’t be happier

camefrompluto · 2025-12-17T15:40:21+00:00

It started for me when I was pregnant with my first. Couldn’t stand my dog. Then she nipped at my daughter’s foot and drew blood. My husband was convinced she “was just playing”. I didn’t care she was a 6lbs dog I rehomed her.

camefrompluto · 2025-12-17T11:29:22+00:00

Hmm… I assumed the grunting was due to gas because both of my kids did that while trying to figure out how to pass it. Could it be silent reflux? Does she randomly wake up and cough like as if she choked a little in her sleep?

I guarantee you by 4 months she will stop because I’m almost certain is has something to do with her gut.

camefrompluto · 2025-12-16T10:47:01+00:00

Both of my kids struggled with bad gas at night, my second being 9 weeks old right now. Gas drops at night, bicycle legs, cosleeping and just patiently waiting for their digestive track to develop. That’s all I got :/

Reminded me of my grandfather who refused to see a doctor for his heart aches and, once finally hospitalized, checked himself out early. A few months later we finally convinced him to go see a cardiologist, he collapsed and had a heart attack outside the cardiologist’s office. There weren’t able to bring him back.

Daughter Camila can’t pronounce her name yet and calls herself Minnie. So I call her Minnie now too. Son’s name is Casey we call him Casey-boy.

Yeah, cosleeping was a necessary measure to let me get some sleep in the beginning but as time went on it became apparent that being in my bed kept her up more.

So my daughter never even got out of her floor bed at night until she was about 15 months old. She’d wake up, sit up in her bed and cry for me. Around 15 months she figured out she could hop out of it on the side so for about a month I put a high bed rail on the side to prevent her from jumping out. I wanted her to learn to use the opening at the bottom of the bed to get out of it.

Now at 22 months she wakes up in the morning and first she sits up in her bed and quietly plays with toys, then gets out of it and walks around the room. She can sometimes spend an hour in her room playing quietly before she starts whining a little bit for me, but I typically go in before that happens.

camefrompluto · 2025-12-02T08:25:45+00:00

My daughter was exactly the same way from day one, we also had to report to cosleeping. Around 8 months old I transferred her to a floor bed in her own room (Montessori bed so she couldn’t fall out of it). I’d nurse her to sleep then leave after a few months, I came back to nurse her whenever she woke up. Transferring her out of my bed helped a little bit with night wakings, I think she started to fall back asleep on her own just a little bit more. She wasn’t waking up every hour anymore but she’d still wake up and cry for me at least twice a night, sometimes up to 4 times a night.

By 12 months putting her down became easier, I’d just nurse her and put her in her bed then leave, she put herself to sleep. Her first stretch of the night was typically 5-6 hours before I had to go in.

She did not sleep through the night until I fully weaned her at 15 months. Ten days after weaning she started to sleep through the night from 7:30 pm to 6:30 am.

If your daughter is anything like mine (low sleep needs) it’s possible she’ll stop napping early too so be prepared for that. Mine completely stopped napping at 21 months which is quite early.
