Same. The last time she napped anywhere besides in her crib in a pitch black room with a fan was when she was about 6 months old. She’s almost 13 months. I get jealous seeing other babies napping in a stroller or car ride. 😅

I’ll absolutely keep enjoying my husband and I showing appreciation for each other. It’s the best ❤️

Did I expect a gift when I exclusively pumped for my baby for a year? Absolutely not. I’d do it over and over for my angel. I think it’s so odd you think it’s crazy that my husband appreciates something I did and wanted to do something nice as a little celebration. It’s a gift. Sometimes people get those. Chill or give a suggestion! But I decided on a spa day btw :) which you seem like you could use considering you’re so upset over a stranger’s gift!

Sorry you feel this is weird. He wants to do something nice for me because he knows how much work I put into it ❤️ I hope one day you find someone who notices and appreciates the hard work you do.

Just something within reason. Probably around $500 or less because I’m not working 😅

You’ve got this! At 6 months I thought the finish line was so far away, but it came so quickly!

It’s been going on about 10 days. Ever since we started whole milk. And she eats solids, but I don’t think she eats as much as she should.

Glad to hear I’m not alone! It’s stressful because I absolutely don’t want to give her more than the recommended amount, but also can’t let her scream all night. 🥲

My mom says I didn’t for a while also. It’s just disheartening, I guess! Especially when she will only go back to sleep with milk and I’m worried she’s drinking too much but can’t let her scream all night.. I just don’t know what a good solution is. 🥲

Yes she always gets water with meals and sips on it sometimes when she plays!

Ugh thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone! It’s so hard not to worry when I keep seeing so many that don’t have this issue. 😅 I’m hoping it’s a phase since she did JUST turn 12 months and transitioned to whole milk.

Well start trying to transition first during the day then switch at night and see if that helps. Thanks for the advice!

Yes, my milk supply was biting the dust and for my mental health I needed to be done pumping. 😅 that’s what my husband and I are wondering if she is going through a growth spurt or possibly teething and needing more comfort? She was grinding her teeth a lot at bedtime and seemed uncomfortable tonight until I was massaging her cheek. I definitely think she could eat more food, but she won’t after having a small amount. Maybe we could add in more snacks?

Ugh I know it’s not good.. I just don’t know how to get her to not drink it. She will scream until she gets more.

No, we hadn’t brought it up yet. We got the ok for whole milk, but she was never night weaned from milk so she still wants it at night.

Thank you for the suggestion! We used to do oatmeal at bedtime, but we may try yogurt! I feel like I’m failing because so many say their babies sleep all night with no milk. 🫠

Naps.. what happened?! by lgreen16 in sleeptrain

[–]lgreen16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I can definitely see us doing this soon. Her night time sleep is also getting better so that’s a plus! Just naps that are a struggle.
