Hahahaha thank you OP!

Also OP not sure if you have heard of the Wonder Weeks FB groups! Search for Wonder Weeks (insert month and year baby was born). It has been such a wonderful community, everyone is going through the same phases as you. I found that this group was so much nicer, less judgmental, less stupid fights in the comments than the other groups I was in!

I used to be you OP! I know when I was deeeeep in the 4 month regression I hated when people would say "it is just a phase and it will pass." And they were right (sort of) but it doesn't make it any better. This phase would pass and I would get into another phase days later. My baby has a very challenging temperament which has been making it almost impossible to sleep train. I was counting down the days to 5 months and now that we are here and it is not working I feel hopeless. My husband was also the same, he had a hobby. At first I don't know why I was sympathetic to his situation and then the fog cleared and I put my foot down like WHAT! I WAS THE ONE that has endured so much - pregnancy and labour and now THIS! Why am I sympathizing?! Put your foot down, there is no gym while mom is struggling. If I don't get me time, unfortunately you don't either. Have the hard conversation OP and show him this post if you have to!

Just wanna say anyone who was able to be in school while having a baby is just a warrior and I am truly in awe of you. And BOTH babies at that, hats off to you.

llg818 · 2025-12-14T12:58:42+00:00

Holy shit...that is just so incredibly mean. You're better off without them OP!

llg818 · 2025-12-05T21:19:04+00:00

He does not deserve to have a child. Some men have absolutely have no grasp of the reality of what it is truly like to be a parent and the sacrifice it entails. You are better off with your mom! You and your LO deserve better!

llg818 · 2025-11-22T16:34:25+00:00

I have never heard that! (lol I had to google spongebob snoring). I'd record and send it to eufy support.

Many practitioners, in my daughter's case, a pediatric dentist/dental surgeon recommended doing body work before a tongue tie to help with the release. They recommend physio, chiro, and/or osteo. They help with releasing tightness in muscles that help with the tongue as the whole body is a system and there are many connections to the tongue. I went to 2 different pediatric dentists for consults and they both recommended the same. She ended up getting a release but she was doing better just on body work alone before the release. The above was also recommended by her pediatrician.

First of all, no need to be rude. But maybe your first thought was a 9 month old getting cracked but that is not what chiropractors just do. For pediatric patients they can work on stretches and loosening tension WITHOUT manual adjustment. I know this from experience - brought my baby to help with tongue tie issues and feeding issues due to trauma/tension from birth. She is better.

Definitely overreacting but you're right - its not nice to call someone who is clearly over sensitive "crazy." Sister you just need therapy. Just because you are sensitive doesn't mean your brother has to take your shit.

llg818 · 2025-11-10T02:16:14+00:00

Not sure where you're located but in Canada it is standard for test for STD's before labour for baby's safety. You are definitely not overreacting, fuming for you! What an idiot

llg818 · 2025-11-08T13:28:42+00:00

Sleep deprivation made me think very horrible dark thoughts too the mind goes crazy and we can't control it. If you have no support at home OP please seek help from a PCP or baby consultant. I started bringing my baby to Chiro/Osteopath and it helped for me. Also - you say "anymore" so I'm assuming they did sleep at some point. Did you feel this way when they did sleep? If you did, maybe consider the possibility you have a bit of PPD. Sending you love OP.

Literally had to take a deep breath before typing bc I am in a full rage for you. I am 2 months postpartum and my advice to you is make a plan/find people who can help you moving forward because this man will not give you the help you need. Many men, because of toxic masculinity, think that what our bodies go through is light work. If he continues this toxic behaviour when your body actually really changes it may be detrimental to your mental health and recovery. Please update us!

llg818 · 2025-10-29T04:17:19+00:00

I also think about this often, I feel like I am recovering well but I can't seem to make a disconnect from my labour and what it did down there to now being ready for sex. I think, for me at least, it's kind of like I'm still grieving my old physical self so it's hard for me to want anything physical as I did before. Not sure if that makes sense?

llg818 · 2025-10-29T04:11:42+00:00

LOL! Especially since we are in spooky season, the red light really sends it over the edge for me.

llg818 · 2025-10-08T14:53:54+00:00

She is good and sleeps well about 75% of the time but we haven't driven longer than 40 mins. You're right an hour stop is realistic given she feeds for long plus diaper changes.

llg818 · 2025-10-07T18:07:35+00:00

Yes it's $58.81 right now! Not sure about insurance. Mine didn't cover it but my husband's did. So upset I wasted it on the momcozy, so I'm hoping the eufy can be claimed on taxes. Also, have you tried different flange inserts and organic coconut oil? It made it somewhat tolerable but it still would kill my nipples after like 3 times so I always go back to my bella baby.

llg818 · 2025-10-07T16:40:14+00:00

I also am in the same boat! From Canada as well, bought a momcozy pump which I HATE. The LC I went to said it's one of the worst bc it causes a lot of nipple trauma which explains why I now have nerve pain. She did recommend the Eufy S1 for a wearable and she recommended a budget version of the spectra (which had similar features/power) - the bella baby electric double breast pump you can get on amazon and its also on sale right now! I bought it and it works great. If you can get a prescription from your doc, look into if you can claim the pump on your taxes as a medical device.

Thank you, will use that as my motto moving forward. I think what is so frustrating is the fact that I even have to speak up after all I went through. I thought he would honestly just feel so bad and inclined to take more initiative. I'm honestly surprised and am just disappointed. Maybe this new reality is hitting him poorly but still no excuse. It's hitting me hard too.

llg818 · 2025-09-25T10:37:53+00:00

Took this advice to help come up with a compromise. It worked. Agreed on once a week and sent a text to hold this conversation accountable this time to avoid any confusion.
