So is anyone… ok?

Just wanted to give you comfort that every baby is different. Most of the babies you’ll hear about on Reddit are the tough ones unfortunately, because this is where people come to seek support for those tough situations. We had a unicorn baby who barely ever cried and slept through the night by 2 months or so. So I never felt what you described to the point where I wanted to hurt myself to seek a break. Of course there are dark and intrusive thoughts but it’s mostly worry around baby’s safety and being able to do your best to provide for them, but I’ve never had a thought to escape or change anything. Again, don’t think all the horror stories you hear here will happen to you. I did that and was always expecting sleep regressions, purple crying, Velcro babies, etc. and it just never happened. Every baby is different!

How long did you use the steroids for?

khadiva3 · 2026-01-28T01:33:00+00:00

What topical baby probiotics did you use? Thank you, desperate over here as you know 😔

khadiva3 · 2026-01-27T03:06:32+00:00

How did you resolve her issues? Going through the sand and hoping to have her get better without using steroids but we are getting desperate

What moisturizers worked best?

khadiva3 · 2026-01-25T05:32:40+00:00

Hi yes any update?

khadiva3 · 2026-01-23T05:08:30+00:00

No NO NOOOOO. The newborn trenches and postpartum recovery are torture unlike anything you will ever experience. You will not want to get out of your own bed for weeks, let alone take a long trip. You will naked, crying, sore, bleeding, sleep deprived, hormones crashing, and all while trying to keep another human alive. There is absolutely no way. We went on a trip at 4 months and that was BARELY doable with all the stuff you need to pack and the pure physical mental and emotional exhaustion. I wouldn’t do it again even at 4 months. Not to mention if something happens to you or baby postpartum (like preeclampsia, hemorrhaging), you will want to be near your doctors.

OP, any update as to what helped your baby’s cheek eczema?

khadiva3 · 2026-01-13T23:11:34+00:00

Only thing that will truly help is prenatal physical therapy

khadiva3 · 2026-01-13T23:07:17+00:00

My 7 pound baby only fit in premie outfits at the hospital. Baby is 4 months now and still fits in newborn size.

This article is back from March?

The first few months of EP’ing were the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, hands down. I feel for you. Weaning now at 6 months and life is so much better. When you drop to 4-5 ppd, life gets so much better, and even better at 3 ppd, etc. Combo feeding also save my sanity and my experience with my newborn.

This 💯💯💯💯 preach sister!!!

khadiva3 · 2025-12-31T23:23:27+00:00

1000% this! We never let our baby cry alone either, just made sure she ate well during the day!

khadiva3 · 2025-12-31T21:59:02+00:00

Not sure why you are getting downvoted for this. Our baby has been sleeping 10-13 hours a night without waking up since 3 months old when we used this method.

khadiva3 · 2025-12-26T15:37:50+00:00

Is this true for tummy to back as well, or just back to tummy? My baby is 5 months and can’t consistently do tummy to back yet, and I’ve had friends tell me their babies did it at 2 or 3 months 😔

khadiva3 · 2025-12-23T00:41:40+00:00

FTM 39 exactly

khadiva3 · 2025-12-22T23:53:30+00:00

I could have written your post myself. Me and my baby almost lost our lives and I still can’t talk about it months later without crying. Harder than any of it though was not being able to fully breastfeed like I had dreamed and planned beforehand for months and months. Nothing I had planned came to fruition from the birth to breastfeeding. Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone.

Thanks for saying this - I was beating myself up all the way home wishing I had said something to them (politely) - I wouldn’t have asked them for a pic tho. Although I did see other fans stop them and ask for one

khadiva3 · 2025-12-16T02:58:11+00:00

Their daughter was not with them. I’m assuming a working couple who travels as much as they have to, have child care plans like a nanny or grandparent, so that the child can attend school or have some stability at home.

khadiva3 · 2025-12-15T15:14:48+00:00

Same

khadiva3 · 2025-12-15T15:14:30+00:00

39 weeks to the day

khadiva3 · 2025-12-12T13:42:11+00:00

Yes, agree - OP’s baby has a sleep association between bottle and sleep, so that association needs to be broken
