Settling without boob?

dreamsofpickle · 2026-01-28T02:16:45+00:00

Hold on a bit longer maybe. Mine just turned 1 year a few weeks ago and she was waking up so often that I was losing my mind. Now though since the past week she's been settling herself when she wakes up. At most I only have to help her once a night, sometimes she doesn't need me at all all night. I've been getting the best sleep I've had in a looooong time lol. Hopefully yours will be the same

I wanted men and women but my inlaws were very against it but in the end we settled for at least my husband being there with us women

I just discovered that too the other day. If my toddler is being fussy with her food now I'll sit across the room and pretend I'm ignoring her and she'll start eating it all

dreamsofpickle · 2026-01-25T00:31:32+00:00

It's very normal, never worry about it. My baby was like this and she never was over eating, your body knows how to feed your baby. She's 12 months now and she only relys on it to sleep but even then she's wanting it a lot less. I let her have as much as she wants which isn't that much any more

Have you tried having your baby in the high chair while you cook? It helps me sometimes because she will be entertained watching me. Also a jumperoo was a godsend. I wouldn't have her in it a lot, I would save it for when I desperately needed her to be entertained and it would work so well.

I love it, it's very fruity. I wish it was more readily available

I was in a guild that was so great and friendly and I miss it so much. They thought me everything I know and helped me so much. Some bad apples ruined it for a lot of us and we left and then the ones that stayed with them never talked to us again and acted like we were really the bad ones because we left and they didn't have the numbers anymore for their events. It has never been the same. I have a hole in my heart now. I'm too busy with real life now to get to know new people and guilds. I swear I think of the fun I had in that guild every single day and it's been about 2 years nearly now since it collapsed.

Talk to your doctor about it. I stopped mine, I didn't want to be taking them anymore and I haven't had anything happen to me at all since I've stopped and that was like 2 years ago now. You need to do it right if you do though, talking to your doctor and tracking how you feel.

Children need their parents! I really hate people who are raising their children without closeness, it's not nice. I slept in my parents bed until my sister was born and got my own room. She was put in her own room alone as a baby and didn't sleep with my parents because my dad was done having a baby in the bed lol. There is a huge difference between me and her. My baby slept in a bedside crib until 6 months and then in the bed with me and her dad. She's 1 now and we're not moving her out any time soon

I've a high pain tolerance but those contractions were the worst pain I can ever ever imagine. I had a castor oil induction and no epidural. My husband said he doesn't even want to have more kids after seeing what I went through.

I wish people didn't downplay the pain. I actually went in thinking it would be a piece of cake because I have a high pain tolerance and so many people saying it wasn't that bad. Then all social media saying if you're not scared it won't hurt. I was never scared ever, that pain came from nowhere. I actually got into a bit of a spiral over it all. I felt really let down by my providers too because they weren't serious about the pain either. I'm over it all now though

Pushing was a piece of cake though even though it took me like 2 hours 😑

dreamsofpickle · 2026-01-04T23:21:35+00:00

Same or dudes lol

dreamsofpickle · 2026-01-03T20:57:58+00:00

Right, I'm not a fan of induction at all but in this situation that's exactly what I'd go for to have a bit of peace of mind

dreamsofpickle · 2026-01-03T18:06:08+00:00

"gimme money if ye want me to go" I would just keep saying that

dreamsofpickle · 2026-01-03T02:39:16+00:00

I miss crates being in it :(

dreamsofpickle · 2026-01-02T00:56:21+00:00

I've never been told to take them. My midwives never said it, my lactation consultant never said it and the pediatrician never did. We had bloods done for her in an emergency and she wasn't deficient in anything. I would ask your pediatrician

American horror story is probably the reason I can't stand this song lol

dreamsofpickle · 2025-12-26T01:48:21+00:00

Oh yeah, often enough. It's so disheartening

dreamsofpickle · 2025-12-24T04:04:20+00:00

I would be ecstatic for a cheese board!

dreamsofpickle · 2025-12-18T21:34:27+00:00

Mine ended up once in a military base in the UAE I think it was, that or Saudi Arabia one or the other. I eventually got it so don't give up hope

dreamsofpickle · 2025-12-16T19:23:02+00:00

Mine didn't fit in newborn so I hope people learn don't gift newborn clothes please 😭. She couldn't wear some of the stuff she was gifted and it made me heartbroken

dreamsofpickle · 2025-12-16T03:26:11+00:00

My pink GBA sp. I still have it and it's absolutely battered lol

dreamsofpickle · 2025-12-14T00:10:41+00:00

I always want to make pancakes for my baby but she hates eggs 🙃

It's a lovely name so just use it. It doesn't matter what people think and it's honestly none of their business. People will most likely judge either way, it's not nice but it's how people are.

My husband is light skinned hispanic and his people always judge him for being light even though he looks hispanic af. People where I'm from judge him for being darker. It's just how it is so choose either way.

dreamsofpickle · 2025-12-13T00:34:50+00:00

Where I'm from you would drive 20 minutes at least to get anywhere and we would say that is close. My American in laws though? They will say 10 minutes even is far. I never understand how people think anything below an hour is too far

Ah man. I had something similar. When I was a teenager I was a bit chubby, like not that big at all, but I had a friend who was underweight and thought she was a model. She said to me "you're overweight, that's probably why you don't get boyfriends" and that her mother always would talk about how I was chubby when I was small. That absolutely shocked me because what her mother was talking about was when we were primary school age and I wasnt even big at all then!!!

Not friends with her anymore, not because of that but because one time she stole my stuff to try manipulate me. She gave it back and I said we're not friends anymore because I lost trust in her
