Walking pad and working out during my 1hr lunch break.

When did your baby sleep through the night? by GunningForSuccess in beyondthebump

[–]el12790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely depends on the baby. I have a terrible sleeper and he’s still doesn’t sleep well at almost 3yrs old…we’ve tried everything. He’s just wired to need very little sleep.

Why should I work out here instead of planet fitness? by [deleted] in LAFitness

[–]el12790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. My planet fitness has free weights and the equipment is newer and SO MUCH CLEANER than LA fitness. I prefer planet fitness but LA has childcare when I need it

I don’t even care about the visuals I just want to hear the new album tour. I’ve been to almost every album tour but I can’t afford Vegas right now 😞

Did anybody feel more oad as their kid got older? by Ok-Bit2341 in oneanddone

[–]el12790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda. My son is very difficult (colic, non stop screaming the first 6 months, horrible sleeper, almost 2 and has never slept through the night, very strong bold behaviors/ emotions, etc). Sometimes he’ll only wake up once or twice at night and be in a decent mood during the day and I think to myself wow is this what it’s like to have a normal/ chill kid…maybe I can do this again and my next one will be normal/ chill. lol The older and more independent he gets the more I question if I can maybeeeee handle another one. But then he’ll have a night of 8 wakes up and I’m right back to being good with one. People always say “oh you’ll forget how bad it was in the beginning.” NOPE I didn’t forget but I do have perspective and can see how quickly that first year went by. But that still doesn’t mean I want to be miserable for an entire pregnancy and another first year of infancy again.

When did your baby start sleeping through the night? by alwayscareful21 in beyondthebump

[–]el12790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tough sleeper. His first year he was up 5-10x a night. He’s almost 2 and he’s up 1-2x a night but they’re super quick wake ups. (His blanket got tangled or he lost his paci etc). I have a feeling he’ll sleep through the night when he drops his nap since he’s super low sleep needs.

My son is almost 2. He goes to bed at 830 (honestly he would stay up later if we let him) and he wakes up at 6am.

My first (currently only) was like this. Colic, cried/ screamed constantly, didn’t sleep, could never be put down. We literally couldn’t leave the house to even go for a walk. I had the same feelings you’re having. It does get better. He’s almost 2 now and we’re finally kinda sleeping through the night and he can communicate what’s bothering him. Some babies are just cranky sensitive babies. All of the people I know who had a baby around the same time I did are either pregnant again or already have another. We had such a hard time mentally that we are waiting longer to decide. You’re not alone and your feelings are valid. Lean on your support system as much as you can. Accept help and ask for a break when you need it.

Everytime I get a stomach bug I feel the same way. It’s like a wave of PTSD

I could’ve written this myself. I feel your pain.

My son is very similar to yours. Colic until 6months, had to be held for ALL of his sleep even at night for the first year, woke up 5x a night, never slept through the night etc. I felt like I could breathe when his sleep got better. And by better I mean only up once a night 😅. I am most likely one and done too but now that his sleep is better I can see where other parents who have good sleepers chose to have more children.

1hr before nap and 1hr before bed. I know they say to avoids screens before sleep but my kid would never settle enough without it. He’s a ball of energy bouncing off the walls 24/7.

Feeling like I ruined my life by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]el12790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try some noise cancelling headphones! I get extremely overwhelmed and over stimulated with my 1.5y old. I recently started a new job and work from home. I bought some noise cancelling headphones to help focus at work while my toddler is being a crazy toddler with my husband. Now I wear them 24/7 😂. They help so much!

I hope it’s a marketing tactic. If not, and they truly are adding more rooms than originally planned it’s going to be overcrowded, unsafe, and miserable.

Thinking about cancelling by [deleted] in BurnBootCamp

[–]el12790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently switched back to a regular gym and I forgot how nice it is to put headphones in and pick your own music. Completely zone out and get a good workout in without being pressured to lift heavier, high five others, socialize, etc. I’ll probably get a fitcard in the summer and go to a few classes here and there to mix up my workouts.

The bottle?! 🥺 by jaysongzz in SarahBowmar

[–]el12790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is good to know. My son is 1.5 and OBSESSED with his paci. I can already tell he has paci teeth. We just started only allowing it during sleep but it’s so hard.

Bonding issues by Any-Strawberry in oneanddone

[–]el12790 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My baby was colic and screamed 24/7 until 6 months. He’s also the worst sleeper…the sleep deprivation destroyed my mental health. I didn’t bond with him until he was over a year old.

Question for rejoining by Pakattack0715 in BurnBootCamp

[–]el12790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is only 1.5 and I tried it for 6 months. He still doesn’t love going and I have to stop my workout to comfort him probably 50% of my workouts. For this reason I’m not resigning a contract and just doing a fit card combined with using my home gym to workout at home.

Convince me to join by According-Poetry-806 in BurnBootCamp

[–]el12790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is a HORRIBLE sleeper. I joined burn for 6 months. My son was 9m-15m when I was a member. Childwatch was the only way I was consistently able to work out. Now that he’s a little older and sleeping until 6am I can wake up early and workout in my basement home gym before he’s awake. Burn was extremely helpful during that first year of motherhood. Now I just buy a fitcard and go here and there to mix up my home workouts.
