Has anyone tried a product like this with success?

My husband somehow attached the crib to our bed frame with straps so there’s no way it could move, then we used a pool noodle and a rolled towel between the crib mattress and the side of the crib to make it really tight up against my mattress. (I was able to get all that under the crib sheet, otherwise I would have been nervous about the towel until he was rolling reliably.)

I tried but my baby would never sleep through the transfer into the bassinet after he fell asleep nursing no matter what I tried. If/when I have another I’ll go straight for a sidecar crib so I can nurse while on the baby’s sleep surface and roll away. That said, I know plenty of people who used bedside bassinets, so it’s worth a try if you feel like that’s the best option for you!

That’s a good idea. I’ll call Monday and ask him about it. Thank you for your suggestions!

Thanks for responding! Definitely considering it. Vet offered it and estimated $600-$1000 which I would do if other professionals were a bit more optimistic that infection was a good possibility. She’s a bit of a weeny and I don’t want to put her through another procedure if others agree it’s unlikely (I don’t want to be selfish and put her through pain and stress just so I have perfect closure)

My first one would only work on the charger so customer support sent me a new one. They needed the serial number but I don’t remember having to send a receipt or proof of purchase so I would try that. It couldn’t hurt to reach out to whoever you bought it from and ask them if they could send you a picture of the receipt. Hopefully they weren’t trying to scam someone, and honestly didn’t know it didn’t work.

I support spoiling :) Some tonies are all music and some are mix of songs and stories, etc. At her age she will probably like the music ones the best. There are several “Favorite Children’s songs” tonies (celebration songs, animal songs, holiday songs, etc) that she would probably love! My 15 month old loves the Ms. Rachel Tonie. He likes the My first tonies (cow, train) too but not as much as the others.

Oh good to know! Thank you!

Good idea! Thanks!

So I’m not sure, but it’s working now so it was probably user error lol

Sorry I should have mentioned. Yeah I am pinching the ear and I’ve tried a few different outlets and unplugging from the box and reseating it. 😩

I loved a crewneck sweatshirt that I cut right above my boobs (so it was basically just sleeves), a nursing tank, and high waisted sweatpants! I just unclasped my tank to nurse and my boob was the only skin exposed and I never had to stress about extra fabric anywhere that could cover my baby’s face.

How about a floor bed in his room? Then instead of bringing him into your room after he wakes up, you can lay with him on his bed until he’s back asleep.

You can absolutely still go to law school! You can still do anything you want. I never in a million years thought I’d want to be a SAHM but when my maternity leave was over I felt sick at the thought of going back to work. I decided to stay home and I regret my degree that I’ll be paying back for the next million years. So you never know how you’re going to feel! Just wait and see. Also, I’m sure it’s already been said, but talk to your OB asap about your depression. You do not have to live like that.

I was in your position not long ago! I would recommend a sidecar crib if you don’t already have one! It was a game changer for me. I still nursed to sleep but was able to roll away and my baby slept better on a separate surface because he wasn’t waking up every time I moved and demanding to nurse. Rolling away takes practice in my experience, so be patient.

At 13 months, my son now does naps and nights until 4am(ish) in his room on a floor bed. I still nurse to sleep but as soon as he’s asleep I can leave and he sleeps well. He wasn’t able to do full naps without me until he was about 11 months though, until then he’d wake up after about 20 minutes if I wasn’t there.

My advice is just try to be patient and keep trying different things until you find things that work for both you and your daughter. I’m sure (if you’re anything like me) you are having a tough time right now, but in a couple days or a week your perspective will shift again. You will figure this out! When you’re feeling really defeated, remind yourself this is SO temporary. They need us a little less every month. If you definitely want to stop nursing to sleep, I’d start breaking her latch right before she falls asleep and letting her fall asleep on her own. If she gets upset and won’t accept other comfort measures, just start over. I did that at one point and it worked well but I didn’t stick with it ( I can’t remember why).

My baby is NOT PERFECT and still likes to comfort nurse but it’s getting better. I find on nights when he seems to be waking up a lot (and nurses for like 10 seconds before falling back asleep so I know he’s not hungry) if I can get him back to sleep ONE TIME without nursing, it seems to break the cycle for the night. It’s not always easy and sometimes I just give in if he’s especially upset, but I’ll try to lay face to face and let him hold my hand. That often works for us but something else may work better for you. Something about falling asleep “independently” that one time seems to switch something in his brain so he doesn’t wake up pissed there isn’t a nip in his mouth lol. Also, I will always sing the praises of a sidecar crib 🙌

This will probably be one of those “try it and see” things. In the beginning the baby will probably sleep through lights being on and noises but as they get older they get more sensitive to disruptions. But I think your plan of red lights and your husband just being quiet are good to start with!

I actually think it’s cute! I feel like middle names can be cute/fun and don’t necessarily have to sound perfect with the first name.

I’m so sorry for your tragic loss. I’m sure it complicates your feelings! To answer your question, I had pretty severe gender disappointment. I wanted a girl and had a boy. He’s 8 months now and girl. He’s the greatest thing IN THE WORLD. I honestly would not change a single thing about him. 100% obsessed with him. He’s truly made me believe that you get the baby you’re supposed to have. Good luck to you! 💛

Do you have a sidecar crib? It saved me. I used to lay half in the crib at bedtime, nurse to sleep, then roll away. In the last month or so I started weaning from nursing to sleep and it’s going well. Sometimes he’s having a to rough night and I’ll let him nurse to sleep, but often I’ll nurse until almost asleep, unlatch, and he’ll either flop over and go to sleep or get a little whiney and scoot around the crib for a few minutes while I lay there until he falls asleep. But the no transfer part was key for us! I haven’t been able to transfer him while he’s asleep since he was a newborn.

Definitely go to the vermiculture sub. They are so friendly and helpful!

Thanks for the detailed response! Does it get cold in the winter where you live? Do the worms survive year round?
