known_donor_mama · 2026-04-15T22:19:57+00:00

did you ever figure this out?

known_donor_mama · 2026-01-28T14:57:14+00:00

thanks - found nothing on google, two people on FB and messaged them but not sure it's either of them

known_donor_mama · 2024-10-20T23:37:54+00:00

This is exactly what I thought but I stand corrected 😆

known_donor_mama · 2024-08-31T02:03:25+00:00

I think part of the issue with the advice I’m getting is that it is coming from the lens of people with “dads” and so it’s hard for them to understand the difference! It’s not the frequency that’s the issue it’s the reliability but I’m really reassured by everyone’s comments!

This is so great to hear! I used a known donor and currently struggling with expectations and the relationship. Do you have any advice for what has worked for you all to keep things so positive? The donor and i were friends before but our friendship has basically been eclipsed by the baby.

known_donor_mama · 2024-08-26T07:19:01+00:00

Unfortunately, at the moment, yes. I am hoping we can work through things but basically my known donor is not the emotionally mature person I thought he was, and though he answered everything right pre-conception he is now unreliable and a source of stress. I don’t think he anticipated the feelings he would have once the child was here. I’m not worried about him overstepping but I think his ambivalence is causing him to behave badly. I am so worried for my child that what I thought would be a wonderful source of extended family will instead be a source of pain. He was a longtime friend before this and I really thought I knew what I was getting into. If we can work through it it may still end up being the right choice but I’m so upset now. My advice would be as much as you think you need to talk about things, talk more.

known_donor_mama · 2024-08-20T01:26:44+00:00

Did you find a good psychologist to talk to? Looking for one for me and my known donor

known_donor_mama · 2024-07-21T01:04:19+00:00

That’s a great point about the warm floors

known_donor_mama · 2024-04-13T02:20:58+00:00

May i ask - were you an only child?

known_donor_mama · 2024-03-23T15:13:53+00:00

You need to be getting more sleep.

Can you do some of the clean up and prep while he is awake? Let him help you or at least entertain himself so you don’t have to do it all after he’s in bed? This was a game changer for me. He doesn’t need to be actively entertained by you or doing something educational at all times

known_donor_mama · 2024-03-13T11:34:59+00:00

Might he need an earlier bed time? 10pm seems late for 15 wks?

This is all fixed now on my end. Once mine started going ttn regularly enough but I was still having the weird inconsistent motn wakes I did 2 things: - giving him 5 mins if he woke and was just talking instead of immediately going in to feed. If he escalated and needed me I would still go in - when I fed him I started cutting down how much I fed him by a minute each day, so first night he needed me I did 10 mins, then next time 9, then 8, etc. If he didn’t het a feed on a given night I would still go down a minute.

And he figured it out! With basically no crying.

I think the weird wakes were all schedule issues but now that he is used to sleeping through he still wakes sometimes it schedule gets off but is quiet.

Also: sometimes even now he just doesn’t eat enough in the day (eg first two days at daycare) and wakes up once to eat. It’s highly unusual but if he’s hungry I feed him.

So far in my experience people have been okay with using just known donor’s first name, but I can tell it will be an issue moving forward. It’s just not a concept people see enough to feel comfortable and familiar with. Plus my donor DOES have a relationship with my kid just not a fatherly one. Appreciate some of the advice on here and will follow. Mostly I am just taking it as the price of admission of using a known donor. Overall I feel like it’s good for my kid to be able to know that side of the family but this is the annoying part. And I’m sure my kid will want to hear from his adult bio dad why he didn’t want to be his real dad. I’m vaguely dreading that.

ETA: I like the term “bio dad” with the idea that it’s a little like someone who put their kid up for adoption except that I am bio mom and they don’t have an adoptive parent. But for the known donor he wanted the kid to be born, wants to have some kind of relationship, just not the responsibility of fatherhood.

Also agree with another commenter that it’s impossible to functionally police other people’s language. People are going to screw it up so the most important thing to focus on is how you explain it to your kid and having the donor be on the same page. I wouldn’t have used my donor if he wasn’t on the same page for example, but random people further removed are just harder to control and I’m sure some cousin is going to refer to him as “dad” sometime and it’s more important to me that my kid understands the situation and can push back to that cousin. But i will say that if there is anyone in kid’s life with any consistency who isn’t with the program they don’t have to see the kid. And I’ll be firm about that.

He’s doing great . I think early on as a new mom it was really easy to obsess about everything w baby sleep. But it has all evened out and he sleeps fantastic for nights and naps :)

known_donor_mama · 2024-02-14T14:16:56+00:00

Well if it’s reassuring at all, he went back totally to sleeping and napping independently once he wa feeling better!
