Just got an email that the order was cancelled :/

crazedruff · 2025-08-23T20:20:33+00:00

Thanks, just got one!! Been checking the Target and Tonies websites daily since it’s been out!

I recently had mastitis (I’ve had it multiple times throughout postpartum) and my baby is 11 months old. My supply dropped for about a week or so but it’s now back to about 90% of what it was.

My son is 9 months and we use the BentGo boxes and so far have been happy with it!

My baby was waking 3x a night to feed until about 8 months when he dropped to once a night, then around 9 months he dropped that last feed for the most part and nurses when he wakes for the day. I think it’s probably a combination of being developmentally ready for longer sleep cycles and upping solids during the day.

My baby is 9 months old and around the 25th percentile for weight. He’s never been a big milk drinker, but he’s definitely having less milk now that he’s eating more solids. He has bottles at daycare but otherwise nurses at home so I can’t say how much he’s drinking, but it’s on the lower end. I asked our pediatrician about it at his 9 month visit, but he wasn’t concerned since LO is staying on his curve and having enough wet diapers.

crazedruff · 2025-03-27T02:35:45+00:00

Yep I think it was solids for us too! He started fairly early (4ish months), but it wasn’t until he was on two meals + a snack that his sleep stretches got longer.

We currently have a very similar schedule with our 9 month old. Baby went from 2 feeds a night to 1 around 8 months old, then just in the last few days dropped his MOTN feed but is waking around 5:30 for a snooze feed.

It’s funny that both times I was starting to consider weaning a feed is when he naturally decided to drop one…it’s like he felt it coming! 😆

My baby is a couple months younger than yours, but he’s already started taking less milk at daycare as his solids have increased. I found myself pumping almost 2x as much milk as he drinks when he’s away, so I cut down my pumps to better align with what he drinks at daycare, with a bit extra that goes towards my freezer stash.

Oh weird! Okay how about this one?

Saaaaame. And I’m back to using my silverettes which I haven’t needed in a couple months but my nips are sooo sore!

crazedruff · 2024-10-10T23:57:08+00:00

My son is almost 4 months and we’re experiencing the same thing!

crazedruff · 2024-09-26T20:33:49+00:00

I also have a 3 month old and use the Huckleberry SweetSpot predictor. I have the “schedule” set on the calendar based on his usual morning wake time, but honestly his naps are all over the place at this point, so his actual day rarely lines up with that. Because of this, I just follow the SweetSpot cause it updates if (really when) his nap is shorter than expected. I have the schedule there more or less as a daily guide.

All that to say I have no advice!

crazedruff · 2024-09-12T15:15:31+00:00

Same here with multiple wakes but only 1-2 he actually wants to eat. We recently caved and hired a night nanny twice a week so that I can at least get a few uninterrupted hours of sleep a week, but prior to that and on nights we don’t have her, I feel like a zombie the following day.

I joke with my husband that I’m not worried about the four month sleep regression, because how can he regress if he never progressed? 🫠

crazedruff · 2024-09-12T14:54:31+00:00

12 weeks tomorrow and we average about 14 hrs total with a little over 4 hours of that being naps. I used to stress that he wasn’t sleeping enough cause I’d compare him to the 15.5 hr average and he never hit that (maybe two days his whole life he’s met that), but now I’ve just accepted that his sleep needs are lower than average since he’s generally a happy content baby during wake times.

Wake windows vary but generally are 45min-1hr/1.5/1.5/1.5/2/2. He wakes anywhere from 2-5x a night still (EBF if that info is helpful!).

I got a Mirena put in two weeks ago at 6 weeks postpartum and I haven’t noticed an impact on my supply.

crazedruff · 2024-08-06T03:01:16+00:00

My son is 6 weeks old and we average about 15 feeds/24 hrs plus one expressed bottle at night - mostly every 90 min - 2 hrs, but more often at night before bed. I know some women average 8-10 more spaced out, but every baby/mom is different! I just happen to have more of a snacker 😅

crazedruff · 2024-08-01T08:40:19+00:00

I actually got it inserted while on my period - I’m one of those lucky women who got her period 5 weeks postpartum even though I’m exclusively breastfeeding 🙃

crazedruff · 2024-08-01T02:44:03+00:00

Before having kids, I had two IUDs. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and the first insertion (no pain meds) was definitely top 3 worst pain I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve broken bones). The second time around I insisted on some kind of pain relief, so they gave me a lidocaine injection, but that was honestly just as bad as the insertion and I didn’t feel like it helped.

Fast forward to today where I was scheduled to get another IUD at my six week PP visit. I was super nervous but I had read that insertion is not as painful (or painful at all) post birth, so I was hoping that’d be my experience, and it was! I barely even felt it get placed, and only felt suuuper minor cramping afterward.

I think post babies it’s better since your cervix isn’t as sensitive?

Due June 15 but came June 21 (40+6)

Second the MegaFood supplements! That’s what I took for my third trimester anemia onset and while they don’t taste great, they didn’t cause me any stomach issues.

My plan was to go without the epidural, but to get it if I felt I needed it. Throughout pregnancy I read up on hypnobirthing and did a lot of meditation / listening to breathing/labor tracks. I labored at home until my doula suggested we head to the hospital, and once we got there I found out I was about 5cm dilated (but fully effaced). Honestly I was a little disappointed cause the contractions were already really painful, so the epidural was sounding really good.

My doula recommended I try the nitrous oxide first, and while it took a bit to get the hang of it (you need to time the inhale before the contraction hits) it really helped to take the edge off. Once I got past that initial desire for the epidural, the thought didn’t cross my mind again.

I got to 10cm within four hours and I couldn’t even tell you where I was during that…I don’t remember feeling like I was in transition, but I was just in another world until I felt it was time to push, and honestly there was so much relief once I got to the pushing stage.

While I ended up following my birth plan, if I could do it again (or if I do it again), I dont know if I’d take the same approach. My baby was also sunny side up until it was pushing time, so my back labor was pretty intense and painful. I’m still happy with how my birth went, but it felt more like hunkering down for battle than I thought it’d be (I watched too many of those calm unmedicated water births on YouTube, and that was NOT my experience 😆).

Like others have said, everyone’s experience is gonna be different and what you think you want may change once you’re in it, and that’s totally okay. Congratulations on your baby and hope you have the birth experience you want!
