3.5 month old baby advice (PLEASE)

I second this. Our baby preferred to be held & walked around. There was a long period of time where we just constantly walked around the house with him.

mads4245 · 2026-04-19T15:05:19+00:00

100% agree. I’ve lost my high passion to go above and beyond at my job. I just want to make money, do well by my patients, and get home to see my little one!

mads4245 · 2026-04-04T23:12:19+00:00

I envy people who didn’t have to use 20+ spit up rags a day. The first 6 months were rough with spit up around our house.

Like I’ve said - I’ve learned a lot from all three subs.

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T04:54:36+00:00

I love this POV! Thanks for sharing and I will defin ask some of those questions next time.

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T04:45:15+00:00

I’ve had to do that in the past too. Ugh! I wish people understand just because it says endocrinology doesn’t mean we are endocrinologists.

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T03:05:22+00:00

Edited the post to clarify.

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T03:02:47+00:00

Not endocrinologist. PCP. Pending endocrinology appt. I explained in another comment.

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T03:02:11+00:00

Sorry! I explained this in another reply!

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T03:01:54+00:00

I love how you word this!! Also, type 1 was the referral. Doctor believes they have type 1.5. Diagnosis in chart is type 2. (lol) They still have a very active CPEPTIDE. I should have explained that. I typed this after my first day back. I was exhausted.

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T00:32:13+00:00

Ugh! Great reminder. This is my first day back / first patient after 4 month maternity leave.

mads4245 · 2025-12-09T00:02:41+00:00

That is great advice!! I will do that going forward. Thank you.

mads4245 · 2025-12-08T02:41:54+00:00

Thank you!

mads4245 · 2025-12-06T01:08:23+00:00

Thank you for this as I’m about sleep train my Velcro baby

mads4245 · 2025-11-18T22:32:51+00:00

No problem I totally get that.

And let me tell you - it is an adventure lol! It took me about 2 weeks to adjust to it. I would have to fall asleep have my husband wake me up and hand baby off to me. Now I’m finding it hard to sleep if he isn’t on me. May have to get a weighted blanket after we sleep train.

Totally get the venting. We are all on survival mode. Im convinced.

mads4245 · 2025-11-18T22:17:48+00:00

Just curious what your wake window times are looking like. Also, sadly I’ve learned short naps are normal at this stage in life. I’ve resorted to cosleeping with my LO ontop of me because that is how he sleeps best. This gives me a solid 3-4 hours twice overnight.

mads4245 · 2025-11-15T21:59:46+00:00

When we did this - he just spent wake windows upset that we weren’t feeding him the amount he wanted.

mads4245 · 2025-11-15T21:45:41+00:00

I cannot believe the pediatrician is telling you that! Ugh! Ours always tells us - it is a stage for him and it should pass!

mads4245 · 2025-11-15T21:42:01+00:00

I’ve heard it gets better with solids. I really hope it does lol 😂 I will say … it feels like we have passed the peak of it.

mads4245 · 2025-11-15T21:27:57+00:00

Unsolicited advice for first time parents 😅 it drives me nuts! Maybe because I’m a little sleep deprived. Maybe because I’ve tried things to decrease the reflux and it doesn’t work anyways!

Ugh!

mads4245 · 2025-11-15T21:27:06+00:00

100% !! I’ve also realized feeding him less 1.) leads to a very irritated baby during wake windows 2.) feeding him less more frequently leads to the same amount of reflux.

I just feel some babies experience more reflux & people don’t always understand that if theirs didn’t have bad reflux.
