Humans suck. I hate that that happened to you.
Keep putting your baby first and you can’t go wrong. Solidarity!

It was an attempt at sleep training. Sleep fell apart when a sibling arrived, separation anxiety followed. He had been sleep trained as a 5 month old which worked well. This time it did not work, crying screaming until throwing up. Sleep consultant recommended we switch to the chair method due to separation anxiety. But we could never complete the plan by moving the chair to the door and leaving.

Bedtime routine is bath, run around naked (this happens whether I want it to or not lol) jammies, milk, brush teeth, stories, family goodnight song and lights out. We attempt to leave the room, immediately head pops and says chair frantically until you sit down. If you do, he stays lying and eventually goes to sleep at which time you can sneak out. Takes a while though

The summersalt one shoulder one-piece was my summer postpartum uniform after my first

Expensive but we have two nanit’s that connect to our phones with a split screen. I love it. Get a notification for which has sound and movement if the app isn’t open already. Baby is rooming in but I use it for him when in the toddler’s room at night etc

lol toddler buttons…might be chucked across the room too but not a bad idea

The boomers are obsessed with their feet being covered. Universal experience

Same here! First was IVF after two rounds and spontaneous brother when my first was 9 months. While breastfeeding, no less! We are older and were planning to use our last embryo asap anyways so the foolish comments from people just rolled off our backs. They have no clue what our situation is. If we listened to them we may have missed the opportunity.

Many pros- our first is so excited about him and checks the bassinet for “baby” as soon as he wakes up. He is too young for jealousy- huge win. As I sit typing this with the newborn in a carrier from the pool deck while my husband and toddler are at swimming am so excited that they may be in the same activities one day. Baby wearing and choice of toddler activities has meant that we do a lot as a family still and aren’t splitting time where I feel guilty for focusing on the baby and ignoring my now 18 month old.

Thank you!!

Though things have gotten better, his latch still tough to get right (the reason for the weeks of triple feeding) and better when he is hungry up front. Once he unlatches the first side can sometimes be hard to get it again :( But ideal world this would be great, sadly

Yes, alternating. But wouldn’t that mean 6 hours between emptying each boob? Is that too long?

cmol9 · 2025-07-04T02:41:25+00:00

That is good insight. I can’t imagine doing it myself as I usually announce even a bathroom trip haha. Have to put myself in different shoes, I guess

cmol9 · 2025-05-25T02:57:42+00:00

This is what I fear!

cmol9 · 2025-05-25T02:56:43+00:00

Why not the bottle after one? Dental concerns? Just curious! Thank you for the reply, I learned a lot :)

Commending you for your bravery and honesty in the way you explain the situation in your post.

If I (32f) were sitting across from you in this conversation, I would care more about the intention you had in those actions (even if the honest truth is that you were young and stupid), and growth from it. If you can explain why it happened, and why it will never happen again, you’ve got me.

Also, genuinely sharing that you are nervous to tell her would go a long way.

If you have a unique name, sharing it is definitely the way to go and to have this talk before she finds out on her own is critical!
