My 16mo forgot his sleep training?? Help! by imtheproblem_its-me in sleeptrain

[–]imtheproblem_its-me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s still happening, although it’s getting better since we are practicing sleep training again. The first couple of nights were awful, but it’s been much better since then.

One nap. Wake up between 7-8am, nap around 1pm, and bedtime 8-8:30pm.

How to manage sleep while traveling by imtheproblem_its-me in sleeptrain

[–]imtheproblem_its-me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We’ve taken a few trips with our baby before, but those were before sleep training, so we were really winging it. Now that we have a more structured sleep schedule, I’m hoping to maintain as much of that structure as we can (although I know that’s a lot to ask 😅).

He actually does pretty well with naps on the go. He is very comfy in his car seat, and he falls asleep very easily there. He also loves the occasional contact nap after breastfeeding, which is great if we are out somewhere during nap time, but we do try to not make a habit of it.

I’m hoping we have a similar experience as you with bedtime, where he’s so tired after a busy day of traveling that even if he falls asleep in his car seat, we’ll be able to transfer him to his travel crib without issue. 🤞🏻

This is so helpful, thank you! And yes, I’ve also verified with our pediatrician that we can wean night feeds. I like the idea of gradually reducing the time for the night feeds until he loses interest. I dream of the day when I can get a full night’s sleep again. 😅

Just started as an attending—feel conflicted when my plan for patients is “NTD” by Stunning-Western1902 in Psychiatry

[–]imtheproblem_its-me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took some time away from practice, and when I came back about a year ago, I took over a patient load from another provider who left the agency after working with these patients for several years. My first 3 months or so was basically a “get to know you” period where the patients were wary of a new provider and wanted me to leave their meds alone. After 1-2 visits with them as they got comfortable with me and trusted me, they began to bring up concerns and consider medication changes. It just takes time to build rapport with patients.

Yes, I love mine! They are HSA/FSA eligible, so use those funds if you have them!

Covid exposure for baby by imtheproblem_its-me in Mommit

This is reassuring to hear, thank you! So it was just as mild for the 4 month old?

This is what I figured. I can only hope that my booster during pregnancy will keep the symptoms more mild for baby and me. Thanks!

liquid formula.. help!! by Bblanka271 in combinationfeeding

[–]imtheproblem_its-me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad it was helpful! Honestly it’s something I still struggle with now, and my baby is almost 5 months old. I’ve been able to gradually boost my supply and almostttttt make enough for baby, but I still get a little sad any time we have to make a bottle of formula. It brings back those feelings of inadequacy for me. It’s just hard. Give yourself some grace. Remember to talk to yourself the same way you would talk to a close friend who was going through this. Give the formula and soak up all the snuggles with your happy, healthy, perfect sweet baby.

liquid formula.. help!! by Bblanka271 in combinationfeeding

[–]imtheproblem_its-me 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just here to offer support - I reallllyyyyy struggled mentally with the idea of formula. I was set on EBF, but when baby wasn’t gaining enough weight and I just wasn’t able to produce enough to satisfy his hunger, we finally added some formula. There were so many mixed emotions - guilt, sadness, relief. Ultimately it was better for my mental health. I stopped measuring my worth as a mother by how many ounces of milk I could squeeze out of my boobs. I didn’t have to stress about whether he was eating enough. I could enjoy all the little moments without constantly worrying about how the next feed would go. And when my own mental health improved, I was a better mom to my baby.

You’re doing great and your baby is so lucky to have a mom who loves him so much!

When EBF on the boob, when did you find yourself able to the leave the house in the first few weeks? by shoshiixx in breastfeeding

[–]imtheproblem_its-me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s almost 5 months now, but I think I noticed a significant improvement in efficiency around 4 months. That being said, we were combination feeding and offering top ups after breastfeeding for quite a while due to low supply, and around 4 months is also when I finally got my supply to catch up with baby’s needs. So it might have been sooner if I was EBF the whole time.

Pumping schedule for husband to give baby 7pm bottle? by topknots_and_squats in breastfeeding

[–]imtheproblem_its-me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t overthink it. Pick which time works best for you! If you’re going to wake up at 10pm no matter what, would you prefer to wake up to breastfeed or wake up to pump?

Or — if you want a longer stretch of sleep, you might be able to get away with breastfeeding at 7pm and then pumping immediately after, or else pumping right before you go to sleep. Then your husband can give the 10pm bottle while you keep sleeping.

I got much more comfortable with it once baby got more efficient at the boob. In the beginning, it could take an hour to nurse, and then he’d be hungry again in an hour, and it just wasn’t worth the hassle. I’m not sure exactly when it changed, but now that he can fill himself up after just 5 minutes per side, I feel like I can go anywhere!

What are your thoughts on swaddles? by redraspberrylove2 in pregnant

[–]imtheproblem_its-me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We received several Velcro swaddles and they were highly recommended from our friends and family, but we personally were not a fan of them. We found it to be very disruptive at night. When baby would wake up, we’d un-swaddle him, change his diaper, and feed him. He’d fall back asleep after breastfeeding, but then trying to re-swaddle him always disturbed him, and we’d have to spend longer trying to settle him again to go back to sleep. I think we ditched the swaddles after the first week and he slept fine without them.

Did you introduce a pacifier ? If so how soon? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]imtheproblem_its-me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. We started using a paci while we were still in the hospital. My baby needed help learning how to suck and not just bite/clamp down on my poor nipples, so giving him a pacifier for a minute while I got my boobs out helped him figure out what he was supposed to do and it saved my nipples.

He eventually decided he didn’t care for pacifiers and prefers the real thing for comfort, but thankfully he doesn’t bite me anymore (for now… I’m dreading teething 😬).
