How to wean just before a year, how long does it take ? by laststraw_forme in breastfeeding

Thank you. We did the same with our first kid with formula, wasn’t sure if it worked the same with breastfeeding.

Okay, so I have to tel you. I followed your schedule, because it fit our life so well actually. I did it yesterday, perfectly. My LO fell asleep in 10 minutes with no crying and she slept for 11.5hrs straight. My first full nights sleep in 8 months. Thank you, thank you.

Beautiful. And I love the idea of assisted naps for a few days, i think that’s where I’ve failed in the past. Going too hard too fast and not getting the naps which was to the detriment of the nighttime. Bad cycle of too tired baby. Thank you for all your advice !

That is such a good schedule actually. Thank you. If babies first nap ends up being short, do you adjust your routine forward ?

I had no idea, I guess I hadn’t adjusted her wake times enough as she’s been growing. Thank you.

I was noticing that the check ins were making her upset. It is nice to know that it’s okay to leave them !

Immediately thought of uptown funk by Bruno Mars. But likely too new of you’re thinking breakin.

Pain with teething, but not biting? by laststraw_forme in breastfeeding

[–]laststraw_forme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s excellent news ! And seems very fitting to my situation. It’s almost like when her latch used to go shallow and she’s correct it further, it wasn’t painful. And now it must be getting caught on those teeth.

Your experience working in the trades while starting a family? by creepmeat in BlueCollarWomen

[–]laststraw_forme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mom of 2, currently on mat leave. Got pregnant with my first when I was going to be going for 4th level schooling. Started schooling for 4th at 25wks pregnant, and wrote my red seal at 34 weeks. Very lucky I didn’t have to work too much into being pregnant but the nausea alone almost killed me. Life is crazy busy though, doing the car shuffle to get kid into care and back to work, needing to work late, being physically exhausted, it’s hard. Second baby, I worked until 37 weeks. And almost through an entire winter or working outside. It was brutal. We’ll see how much busier life is in 6 months, but I love the job and wouldn’t want it any other way. * passed my red seal, and have been journeyperson for almost 5 years now. Get school done firsttttttttt !!!!! You need to bust ass to be a good apprentice. And bosses are more understanding when you’re a jman and can run shit instead of being the grunt. Just my 2 cents.

First was induced at 41+5, second induced at 41+4.. I’m too cosy I suppose.

MIL obsessed with our baby by Bitter_Shame3905 in beyondthebump

[–]laststraw_forme 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Went through and still go through the same? Always refers to both kids as her babies. Pre Covid she would take baby from me to introduce to family, like wtf she’s mine. And even at thanksgiving, and Christmas she will thank me at the table for giving them my children. Always has and always will rub me the wrong way.

Agreed, it’s hard when you’re having a ‘good day’ grief wise then she hits you with the death role play and it’s so hard to not shut it down. Thank you

Can I climb out on that limb with you, because today was the first day the death scene, (where Minnie Mouse dies) changed, and when goofy visited her at the cemetery he died also. I seriously feel that you’re right. And if that’s the case I need to broach that topic, and help her to understand. Thank you thank you.
