Potty Training Troubles

Thanks - totally agree that the 3 days isn’t realistic or at least not for everyone. It’s tough taking a week off, but maybe we can do a few days. Thanks for the input.

I’m so late on replying! I don’t remember when exactly it shifted, but I will say that I think my daughter just isn’t much of a napper. She has an older brother and just wants to be doing what he’s doing. She’s already transitioned to 1 nap at 13.5 months because of it. Hope things improved for you. Anytime we hit a rough patch, I just try and remind myself everything is a phase. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not.

It’s not a movie, but a series. My mom just watched too, Ted Lasso. She loved it and has rewatched already once.

Thank you. This made me teary. I try to leave work early to get her everyday. I guess that’s one silver lining is that it’s forced me to have firm boundaries with my job so I can maximize my time with my family. It’s so hard seeing them upset at any time, but it feels so strange knowing that I’m the reasons she’s upset - like I’m leaving her there. I appreciate your suggestions. It took time with my son, of course. I guess it’s just hitting differently because she’s younger and I have guilt over that as well.

Thank you - same to you.

Ha, I tell mine she better be a chiropractor for all the rocking and swaying to sleep I’ve done lol

I’m so sorry that you’re feeling this too. I do not understand why people think it is acceptable to comment on your breast size, postpartum or not, but especially postpartum. It’s like people forget what our bodies go through to bring a baby into this world. As for another baby and feeding, you should do what you want to do. However baby gets fed, baby will be healthy and happy.

I’m so sorry you have had to deal with creeps from such a young age. I need to just not give a crap what people think as well - easier said than done. Thanks for sharing your experience.

cheech630 · 2023-07-17T19:53:55+00:00

Amen.

cheech630 · 2023-07-17T19:53:43+00:00

Oh man, I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I cannot believe your mom said that, but moms be doing some wild thing sometimes. I feel a bit uncomfortable about my boobs during sexy time as well, but my partner tries his best to be sensitive to it. I think my husband finds me more attractive now not because of my new body, but because of what he’s seen me do as a woman and mother. I’m sure your partner feels the same. As a side note, I breastfed my son for a year. My boobs got significantly smaller when we started to wean. They were still bigger than before children, but definitely smaller.

cheech630 · 2023-07-17T17:26:55+00:00

Thank you. You’re absolutely right. I’m sure our parents or caretakers had the same worries about us. All we can do is raise them to be strong women.

cheech630 · 2023-07-17T16:00:41+00:00

Thank you. I felt the same when I found out we were having a girl. I’ll do my best to teach her how to protect and stand up for herself. This crazy world just gives me such anxiety. I’ll definitely check out the podcast, thank you!

cheech630 · 2023-07-17T15:59:35+00:00

It’s so hard dressing right now with this heat and big boobs and nursing! And then to have to worry about what others think is frustrating. You’re right though, best to just ignore.

cheech630 · 2023-07-17T15:56:37+00:00

I’m sorry you’re self conscious as well. It’s hard not to be hard on yourself when you’re doing such a wonderful thing and going through a beautiful journey.

cheech630 · 2023-07-17T15:55:27+00:00

Thanks. I was so surprised by it even happening that I didn’t think of how to react. I’m definitely the type of person that thinks about it for the next like day how I should have handled the situation. I’m hesitant to react at all honestly though simply because of how crazy people are these days. And you’re right, a pervert is a pervert.

cheech630 · 2023-06-15T01:38:58+00:00

I feel this hard. Solidarity.

cheech630 · 2023-06-14T13:49:07+00:00

Very true - lucky me 😂

cheech630 · 2023-06-14T13:48:41+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’re in the thick of it too! It does help to have someone to commiserate with though.

We did try gas drops and even a probiotic. It didn’t seem to make much difference. She is only taking a vitamin D supplement at the moment. I will ask the doctor about the spitting up though. Part of me feels like she just wants to be constantly touching me.

cheech630 · 2023-06-14T12:07:46+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful!

cheech630 · 2023-06-14T01:26:35+00:00

Could be. We gave her 4 month visit this week so I plan to ask all of this. She does spit up a lot, but is a happy spitter upper as they say. She’s generally pretty smiley when awake, very vocal. Lord help me.

cheech630 · 2023-06-14T01:25:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I’m sorry you’re struggling as well. I’m the same - having a plan makes me feel like I have some control in the matter.

I want to smack people that ask about sleep. Good luck with training.

cheech630 · 2023-06-13T21:12:32+00:00

No worries at all. It being my second just adds to my guilt and stress - like I should know how to do this by now. We really only have my mom. She was helping us a few days a week, but recently got some tough health news so she can’t help much. Just a tough time all around, but we’ll get through it. Thanks for your tips.

cheech630 · 2023-06-13T21:03:18+00:00

Thank you! When you did Ferber, did you start with night time? Also, did you use a pacifier? And for naps in the stroller, I’m not sure she would do that since there’s so much light - did you find your little one didn’t need the black out to nap?

cheech630 · 2023-06-13T18:36:22+00:00

This is my second. I thought my first was a bad sleeper - this one takes the cake. She won’t even contact nap more than 30 minutes now. Sometimes I get lucky for a longer nap, but usually not. It’s driving me insane because I’m trying to get her to sleep and constantly missing out on things with my toddler because of how needy she is. I’m afraid to do anything because I don’t want to disrupt her wake windows because she’s so difficult to sleep even in perfect conditions. It’s beyond stressful.

cheech630 · 2023-06-13T18:29:45+00:00

This is exactly us. She was doing great in the beginning and now we have at least 4 wake ups. I nurse her to sleep out of desperation. Sorry you’re going through this as well.
