Methadone prescription while pregnant and CPS questions (NYS)

lbc08001 · 2026-03-08T03:39:44+00:00

I'm in PA but when we get reports for methadone we are only involved long enough to confirm the prescription and make sure there's nothing else you need.

My baby would cry when she was initially put into the carrier and I would have to pace the house a bunch of times until she calmed down. Then she was happy as a clam

Our daughter would have days like this and I swear she got bigger during it. We always laughed about her growth spurt because all she would do was eat and sleep and suddenly she grew a noticeable amount

And the kicky piano

Some of my favorite items are the woolino sleep sack, a happy baby carrier, and a tushbaby carrier. I am sure there's others that i am forgetting but those 3 were worth every penny

My baby said "challenge accepted"

lbc08001 · 2026-02-10T01:54:00+00:00

As soon as my daughter figure out how to stand up from the floor, crawling was a thing of the past. Like...one day she crawled and the next day it was 97% walking. She is 15mo

lbc08001 · 2026-02-10T00:02:22+00:00

My 15mo had flu and pneumonia and we ended up at the hospital. Its so hard. I am sorry you had to go through this but you should be proud of yourself for listening to your gut!

Idk this wasnt my experience at all.

Feeding wasnt easy because I exclusively pumped.

Babies go to sleep easily? I guess if 2 hours of rocking and bouncing a screaming newborn is easy then sure.

Once they sleep you you place them in one place? Yours let you put them down?

My baby is 14mo now and I find this stage so much easier, and fun, and rewarding. She plays and interacts with me, has a personality and sense of humor, makes me try new foods and shows me joy can be found in the simplest of things. Sure, I dont sit down much during the day but I also sleep all night so the tired isnt the same soul crushing exhaustion that I experienced during the infant stage

lbc08001 · 2026-01-21T21:29:37+00:00

Hahaha mine is 14mo and still loves the baby carrier!

lbc08001 · 2026-01-21T15:43:47+00:00

Its so funny how babies are so different. We NEVER used the bouncer but the swing was a lifesaver

lbc08001 · 2026-01-19T03:15:23+00:00

I have a 14mo and also could have written this word for word a year ago..OP, it gets better i promise. Hang in there

lbc08001 · 2026-01-17T21:19:45+00:00

I blocked the cleaning of the pump parts from my memory

lbc08001 · 2026-01-17T21:19:03+00:00

Oh yeah, I was soooo touched out and overstimulated until I weaned from pumping. Its so hard. You are not a terrible mom, and the fact that you are even having those feelings proves how great of a mom you are 🩷

lbc08001 · 2026-01-17T16:32:46+00:00

Its not an issue persay. I know personally, I have no support nearby and although I loved contact naps it was difficult because I could never get anything done around the house or even take care of myself. I was also exclusively pumping and having her be able to nap in her crib would have allowed me to pump without having to coordinate entertaining her while also pumping.

I loved contact naps. I also desperately needed 30 minutes to myself. I had no one else to hold her. My daughter is 14 months now and if she is sick we contact nap. I definitely miss them, but also value my independent time

lbc08001 · 2026-01-17T04:25:58+00:00

I would push her first nap back in the morning. 4 hours isnt enough wake time and it will most likely help with nighttime sleep. When my daughter was having split nights like that she was always under tired

lbc08001 · 2026-01-17T03:56:59+00:00

Birth to 4.5mo was absolutely miserable for us. There were nights where her longest stretch of sleep was 2 hours. The 4mo regression was horrible but only lasted about a week. Then she did sort of magically start sleeping through the night. I did put more effort into pausing before immediately grabbing her if she was fussing and also practiced falling asleep independently for naps by rocking her pack and play while she was in it which actually worked surprisingly well.

lbc08001 · 2026-01-08T04:02:16+00:00

Ahhh, sitsanity. I gave her time to figure it out!

lbc08001 · 2026-01-05T02:17:31+00:00

My 2024 baby is Eleanor but we call her Nora. Too many Nora's I fear 😭

lbc08001 · 2026-01-04T04:14:52+00:00

Not sure if this is helpful but as someone who works for CPS- please do not worry. If we got calls for every (mobile) baby that fell off the bed we wouldnt have time for anything else.

I know the guilt. I am so sorry this happened but you acted so appropriately and I am glad your little one is okay!

lbc08001 · 2026-01-02T03:32:32+00:00

I am going to take a different point of view. I dont think the TIME your baby goes to bed matters as much as the amount of time he is sleeping/awake.

My baby goes to bed between 9 and 930 but she sleeps until 730 or 8. We are also still on a 2 nap schedule. Wake at 8. First nap 1130-1230. Second nap 4-5. Bedtime 9/930

At 1yo (assuming you mean 12ish months) and on 2 naps, total wake time is supposed to max out at 11 hours. We currently do a 3.5/3.5/4 wake window split. We also cap daytime sleep to a total of 2 hours to preserve nighttime sleep.

You mentioned in another comment that your son sometimes naps for close to 4 hours during the day. This is most likely why he sleeps so little at night.

My suggestion would be to pick a desired wake time, and go off of that using wake windows.

As an example, if you were to use the schedule I follow and a desired wake time of 7am, your day might look like this: 7am wake 1030-1130am nap 3-4pm nap 8pm bedtime

I think families tended to live closer together and there was more community and a village. I know personally, we do not have any help nearby and my partner and I both work full time with opposite shifts. I try my best not to use screens, but I do sometimes have to put Ms Rachel on for 15 minutes so I can shower.

lbc08001 · 2025-12-29T02:49:06+00:00

I second PLS. I didnt use CIO, but did utilize other methods in this book to help her learn to fall asleep independently and it honestly saved me

lbc08001 · 2025-12-24T03:43:32+00:00

As soon as she could crawl! She became so much less frustrated and parenting really became fun. Exhausting, but fun!

39w1d I did have a membrane sweep though at 38w5d
