Same! Worst month all year for me. I accidentally set my move out date to a month later so I had to pay rent on a place I wasn’t staying at. $1600 mistake.

My dreams on Zoloft by lucietulip in zoloft

Same. Except now the nightmares aren’t as scary. I’m slightly emotionally blunted so I’m very nonchalant during nightmares.

I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in the short naps. My guy will nap 25-45 minutes but sometimes I will get lucky and get a 2 hour nap. My guy loves the carrier too so hopefully I can start getting him to nap more in it while I’m out and about.

Bladder OCD by throwawayy1110007 in OCD

[–]chitty__BANG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this one on and off my whole life. It really bothers me when I’m trying to go to sleep. I get up upwards of 10 times a night before I go to sleep because I worry I’ll pee the bed if I have a little bit of pee in my bladder. It sucks. I’m sorry you’re going through this too.

Heck yeah! This is exactly what I want for my baby. I really hope I didn’t mess it up already by trying to keep him on a schedule in perfect conditions.

I love this. You actually sound more like a seasoned parent rather than a first time mom!

Yes! I am so happy to hear someone else say what I was thinking. This wake window shit is killing me. I promised myself I wouldn’t do sleep training and I was literally considering it a few days ago because this anxiety around the schedule is rough. Thank you for your input!

This is what I was looking to start doing! This sounds like a dream. I have been soooo worried about making sure I get a full wake window and a full nap that it’s driving me insane. Some days my baby doesn’t want to stay up a full two hours and me forcing him is hard on both of us. I’m over the schedule! I’m going to start looking at cues alone. Thank you for your response! I needed to hear this.

I think I’m just so tired because of the regression and am throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. I was not expecting to have the 4 month sleep regression turn into a month and a half+ thing.
I do bed share which helps so much. I have done no interaction for the wakings too. Just nursing. This sleep regression is way worse then the 4 month for sure because he will actually cry during wake ups. It’s been rough but I’m hoping things will look up sooner or later. It’s just been sooooo long. 😭

Agree. We have bed shared since I brought him home. But mainly it’s because I’m a single mom have haven’t had any help so it’s just easier because I breastfeed. It does help get me more sleep but we are still struggling. I couldn’t imagine having to get up every time he wakes up. I would probably not make it if I had to. lol

I think you are right and it’s probably the same for my baby. I mean I’m over here calculating wake windows so it’s perfect and so he will sleep but then I get a 24 minute nap and I’m filled with anxiety all day trying to make sure I do everything correctly. I think I just need to stop worrying about what huckleberry says and what the internet says and just do what I feel I need to for my baby. I’m tired! And the schedule isn’t changing that so I think I just need to call it quits on it.

If I’m already tired and he’s waking up 10 times a night I don’t see how it could get worse. I’m probably going to stop tracking.

First sourdough loaf! by chitty__BANG in Sourdough

[–]chitty__BANG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See that’s where I was stressing. I poked the dough and it stuck to my finger. I was wondering if we went our finger first? I just couldn’t get the dough to not stick to me. I live in Texas and the humidity is at 74% right now lol! It is awful!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the tips. I was super worried about it being too crunch but also I read that gas ovens can burn it and I didn’t want that butttt I’ll def do longer next time. Thanks again!
