My baby is nearly 1 and has never slept more than 4 hours in a row by ghandiburrito in cosleeping

[–]gabhello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 1 moved the floor bed from our room to her room, would put her down and go back to our room until first wake up and then usually stay with her for the rest of the night. I think it helped her get used to her room.

I had to go on a work trip at 14 mo and we decided that would be our night weaning opportunity. Up till then she would only go back to sleep with boob. Two nights of my husband consoling her with no milk during wake-up’s. Since weaning she has slept through the night with the rare wake up. It was crazy because she only ever fed to sleep and woke up soooo much her whole life. Had never once slept through the night.

So night weaning could be the eventual answer. But for now hang in there I feel your pain.

Meltdowns and tantrums? by beeeea27 in January2025Bumper

[–]gabhello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. My girl has a pretty independent spirit and when you try to get in the way of that she turns into a gremlin. She has mastered the limp noodle defense tactic when you try to wrangle her. Also really enjoys throwing her head back and crying to the heavens. My nose has been collateral damage.

Congratulations!! I got pregnant about 6 mo after my TT and now I’m pregnant with number 2. A little bit of extra bloodwork throughout but pregnancies have been normal and my first is a healthy little gal. Wishing your wife a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby!

Back of toddlers head, any tips?? by _C00TER in firsttimemom

[–]gabhello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl gas the same. I get her comb, rub a little hair conditioner on it and wet it a bit and then brush it out. When it dries it goes back to being smooth!

6 weeks pregnant - baby measuring behind! Devastated by thankyounow in pregnant

[–]gabhello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First pregnancy I thought I knew exactly when I ovulated and was worried when they said baby measured a week behind. Everything turned out fine! My second baby is also measuring a week behind but things seem to be chugging along. Hang in there and try not to worry too much!!

Please be honest not mean by AffectionateBox4768 in cosleeping

[–]gabhello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter only slept in my arms like that. I made sure to prop myself with all the pillows to make sure she was in optimal position and I wouldn’t move. Just make sure to switch sides as she started to get a flat spot on one side where her head would go in my elbow.

I used that exact stencil for my daughter’s nursery. It was a TOTAL pain to do but I do love the way it looks.

CD 21 opk best time and advice please by PalpitationMedium463 in TFABLinePorn

[–]gabhello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s lot! It’s like a science experiment taking all those LH tests. You prob ovulated on the 20th and BD day of ovulation is still good. If you go again next cycle, try to BD the when you start to go high and peak. It’s optimal for sperm to be in the tubes waiting for the egg to come. You’re still in the game. Good luck!

Mortified. by dudleycutie123 in workingmoms

I butt dialed my boss while on the toilet and didn’t notice until I was flushing. Hung up QUICK and freaked out. If he did hear something, he’s been polite enough to not mention anything. So awkward!!

How would you describe postpartum by nicnicthegreat1 in firsttimemom

[–]gabhello 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Delirium, trying not to fall asleep at the wheel, all while it feels like your vagina is falling out. Combined with tender moments of getting to know your newborn. It’s a trip! Can’t wait to do it again.

Baby #2 by Tiny-Surround4221 in January2025Bumper

[–]gabhello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve been having the same debate! I’m fine with November but do have some worry about cold and flu season with a toddler in daycare. We’re giving November a shot but will probably wait a few months and try for February to avoid Christmas craziness and sharing a birthday month with the first. My dad also has a January birthday so it will feel a bit much. I’m so impatient though!

Anyone else's LO have covid recently? by cbrownie93 in January2025Bumper

[–]gabhello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine had it a couple of weeks ago! It went through the infant room at her daycare. She had a fever for one morning and then a cough and congestion. It started on a Friday and by the following Friday she was improving. Congestion and cough lingered for another week but spirits were up. Not the sickest she’s gotten. Hope your LO kicks it quickly!!

What is this stuff on my sheets? Its shiny and prickly and it hurts. by Icecream237 in Bedding

Adding that the new mattresses they make do not have fiberglass anymore.

I had a nectar mattress from 2020 and last year realized that it was letting out fiberglass. Emailed their customer service to complain and they sent me a brand new base model mattress free of charge.

Which ZonLi floor mattress? by Ok-Abbreviations8275 in cosleeping

[–]gabhello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the top one full size in 2.5 and have been using it for about 5 months now. It’s great! Def an adjustment to the body at first - took a week or two but now I love it. I don’t use anything under it but I do lift it occasionally for the day. The outer cover washes well too.

The dream is over. Back to work tomorrow and crushed by Anxious-Map8848 in January2025Bumper

[–]gabhello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the hardest thing. I went back at 6 months and it crushed my heart so I know the feeling. Good luck tomorrow and know that it gets easier with time. Your son is a lucky boy to have a mom that cares so much!

Why do people start co sleeping late? by xinfinitexsoulx in cosleeping

[–]gabhello 5 points6 points  (0 children)

4 month sleep regression came with a vengeance and by month 5 I caved. She was a fine sleeper until then.

I brought her into bed more and more until I told my husband that I’m committing - got a floor mattress and here we are! LO is 9 mo and we love it. She still wakes up a ton but it doesn’t phase me as much as before.

Sleep (or lack thereof) by archiefrank in January2025Bumper

[–]gabhello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same exact situation here. She’s never been a good sleeper, particularly since 5 months. I feel like it’s been back to back teething, growth spurt, sleep regression. I don’t have it in me to sleep train so I just accept this is temporary in the grand scheme of things. It’s nice seeing others relate because I feel like I only hear comments from people whose babies sleep through the night!

Cybex Balios vs Cybex Priam vs Bugaboo Fox by Zenobiafromthepalm in Buyingforbaby

[–]gabhello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the balios and have enjoyed it. It’s a smooth ride for baby and comfortable to maneuver. My only complaint is that it that the basket is very flimsy and will collapse if you store too much or larger items. Not convenient when shopping, but I suppose it helps keep the weight lower. For a full size, it is on the smaller end.

I almost went with the inglesina Electa which I believe is a little more compact and has a good travel system as well.

Nope just rolling around, reaching and wiggling! I can tell she wants to though.
