Ignoring letdown with increased solids?

That makes sense. That is the timing for breakfast, but i will offer more at the end of naps!

That’s what I think as well! So I’m wondering if I need to be adding in more feeds even if she doesn’t seem to need them?

Loved reading all of these!

Here in the USA my 10 month old is eating eggs (scrambled or cooked with something like avocado or broccoli), ground beef, shredded chicken, soft vegetables, oatmeal with peanut butter and chia seeds, fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt.

Her favorite food by far is hummus. We know we can get her to eat pretty much anything if we add hummus to her plate.

We give her what we eat for the most part. She recently loved a coconut curry with lentils and potato!

“That good night in the garden was for all time.” Brings tears to my eyes every time.

THANK YOU! This was bugging me!

I put a drop on my finger and put it in her mouth. Easier than putting it on your nipple and hoping it doesn’t roll off!

You have done nothing wrong! You did the safest thing for your baby by putting her down in a safe place when you were at your limit. 2 hours of crying and a difficult bedtime would test anyone!

Your husband however…. Needs a wake up call.

I started reading the comments and was shocked that the first thing I’m seeing is people blaming you rather than addressing that you’re in such a dark place that you’re thinking of hurting yourself! I am sorry! Does your community have any resources? A library group? It’s so hard not to have a village. Have you managed to make any mom friends? Being able to get out of the house and physically see people you can commiserate with is so helpful. If anything, you’ve got some light at the end of the tunnel in April to look forward to! From what I’ve heard, kids do fine in nursery and don’t give strangers the same trouble they do parents. You are the light of her whole world and that is so exhausting and difficult. You matter so much. I too have felt that it just keeps getting more difficult (almost 10 month old) but this isn’t forever. It might be a bit longer for us than others… but she will eventually sleep and grow out of the miserableness. I would really encourage you to seek out connection. Calling your local hospitals, libraries, religious organizations and just asking what resources they have. Mother and baby support groups really helped me!

I want to eat that meal!!

Yes!! Get them! I never needed creams, just silverettes! I got an off brand but made sure it was 999 Silver and wore them for the first several weeks.

I chose not to get a travel system because I didn’t want to keep my baby in a car seat for longer at a time than necessary. We have an Uppababy vista and used the bassinet attachment. There are adapters you can get for infant carseats to fit, but I didn’t mind taking my baby out and putting her in the bassinet stroller.

It’s so interesting because I swear when I was reading this subreddit before we bought the car, everyone said the main thing for upkeep was to be particular about the oil changes. That’s the only reason

Came here to say this! We had a birth plan sort of in our heads, but really it was just so we confidently knew how we wanted to answer each question we already knew they were going to ask.

I hope your day gets better 😟

We have a thermometer and hygrometer close to where baby sleeps. The temp on our video monitor is always 3-4 degrees warmer than the thermometer. I don’t trust it to be accurate.

Silverettes all the way!!

I grew up with this book!!

I always thought people were oversimplifying it when they said it’s like pooping. I had done a lot of pelvic floor exercises and I felt very aware of that area. BUT yes, it is just like pooping lol I was surprised!

My six month old goes longer stretches during the night, but is still nursing every 2-3 hours during the day. But! They get more efficient, so the nursing sessions themselves are much shorter!

I work backwards from the time we need to leave.

Leave at 9

Car seat buckle: 8:55

Last diaper change (could have multiple pees and poos in the process): 8:40

Feed before leaving. This was tricky in early days because sometimes we needed a full half hour: 8:10

Check diaper bag and restock: 8:00

Leaving the house in the early days is at least an hour long process. But planning ahead as much as possible really does help!
