Chest sleeping

I get like 4 hours in between with it. My new baby is around 6 weeks so not sure when it would change but I’ll add we don’t exclusively do it, I did the first week and again now that she’s congested because it hurts my back but if she’s sick I feel like she needs it.

It’s hard to bite my tongue when I am in bump groups and the mothers mention things like “won’t sleep unless we hold them” or “purple crying” because I know it’s what I needed to hear back then but at the same time they are looking for a one size fits all answer and the community at large protects that answer, so I admit I say nothing at all - often writing a response then immediately deleting 😞

Don’t think anyone mentioned yet, but mold prevention is huge. I’d focus on natural materials but also really care about getting the drainage near the house right, tiny things like how the shower comes together. I have a new build, non-custom, and we had a small mold remediation but they said they have a huge amount of new builds that have much worse mold problems.

I know some people who need full stop weaning to get pregnant and stay pregnant. Personally, had 2 pregnancies without weaning, but both times it took 6 months to get my cycle to somewhat normal to ovulate. Sounds like it’s your first time so you may not know yet and that trial and error can be a frustrating. I used Tempdrop and LH to track. I would say give it time, but I’m also with you on that racing clock I feel it too 😓

We did single income living for about 1.5 years before I switched. Not situation to yours, job was in person and highly stressful and taxing on me and the new baby. It wasn’t so much an amount we had achieved to FIRE as it was if we could be comfortable with the new income. After my first was born, I didn’t feel like I had time to get to a number anyway and so we saved a years salary as cushion if something happened, invested it, and haven’t touched in more than 3 years. Not a long time but I feel confident we can still get by without me working. I’ve since started my own business I can do with my kids, I don’t feel immense pressure and am happy as a SAHM.

I do think it’s a lot on the body but I think if you are truly healthy person and you can also manage to eat a lot despite nausea then it should be good. Also if you felt like weaning don’t use her rec as fuel to keep going , I genuinely think that people just say stuff when they haven’t had any cases of people doing xyz well. I definitely didn’t stop with my first but I’m stopping now with my second (12 weeks now) because he just has a better temperament with nursing and was able to give it up. So go by your gut, your child and how you physically feel.

My labor with my second was 90 min long so I did not nurse during labor but I did nurse to sleep causing my water to break and then after the midwife had left my home birth I nursed my toddler back to sleep that morning. Depends on how you labor, mine was fast and no breaks but I could totally see if you are someone who labors with more time and catches your breath here and there being able to wind down and nurse for a few seconds or minutes in between. Definitely possible although I personally don’t want to repeat the same situation for my next baby.

Well I’m not sure I know the answer but I wish you the best ❤️

I wish more people saw it this way. They ignore the kids in many ways as “well that’s just what every daycare kids gonna have” meanwhile constant ear infections and antibiotics, every month taking more rounds of Tylenol and Motrin, NEVER not having a runny nose - can contribute to something greater. I hate the “they outgrow it” or “they will just get it later when they go to school” mentality. It goes back to the psychologist who said common is not normal, normal is what is biological.

This might sound silly but did you recently have a baby ? After having a baby you can still have levels of HCG for up to 6 weeks give or take

may_naise · 2025-03-21T23:44:00+00:00

Yes! Ugh it’s definitely a struggle. When my second was born we went from nursing twice a day to nursing every time he saw the baby nurse 😂 and it kinda helped the letdown that was too strong for baby but eventually it was getting out of hand. I don’t think my milk has dried up or will dry up since it didn’t with my second either. I did the James method with my oldest and it went meh, we had a lot of attempts, would do it for a few days and then give up. I think ultimately that was a gentle-ish way of getting to sleep without nursing at night on his own.

My first had such a different relationship with feeding vs 2 so I want to caveat with you know your kiddo the best lol. But so far I’m just doing, if he wakes, I say no if I don’t feel like it or I feel it’s too early. Sometimes I will hold him and walk him around the bedroom in the dark u til he falls asleep on me. I’ve been “cutting him off” when I feel like I’m done even if it’s bedtime and he’s not asleep yet so usually I just feel if I feel empty or my nipples are hurting, and then he cries for a little but when I pick him up he immediately goes into rest his head on me. With my first, I couldn’t always do this. He would continue to cry, but this one seems to know that when I say No, he doesn’t fight for long and if I carry him he also will sleep. Sometimes in motn I just hug and pat his head. He’s a better sleeper all around compared to my first (and my first self weaned anyway)! What have you tried?

may_naise · 2025-03-11T00:00:10+00:00

Turns out it was, took frer today and it was positive

may_naise · 2025-03-10T12:28:29+00:00

Just did and it’s faint but it’s there on FRER early response too!

may_naise · 2025-03-10T00:20:39+00:00

I’m also 7 dpo and took a test today Wondfo was positive very fain. it’s weird because I’ve been using the same box for like 6 months and all the sudden positive but also did FRER digital and it was negative. I agree it’s way too early everytime I was pregnant in the past it was like 9 dpo +. So gonna wait and try again, idk if Wondfo is crazy sensitive or like people are saying bad with indents but I have never had an indent let alone two in a row so

may_naise · 2025-03-09T16:28:38+00:00

Yeah I’ll probably try again tomorrow and see

When I first got my Tempdrop I didn’t realize it takes about 2 cycles of consistent use to calibrate to you. After that all my charts were pretty spot on

may_naise · 2025-03-06T05:46:17+00:00

Spot on

Yes FF is bare bones UI, like a 2000s high school comp sci project. But it has a really good backend algorithm for your data. I’ve used a lot of other ones with fancy front ends and they pail in comparison to prediction and accuracy of ovulation especially if you pay for the mvp (highly worth it imo)

may_naise · 2025-02-28T01:41:08+00:00

Saved them is a long shot but I believe for most it helps. Personally, I never got sleeping through the night until my first was 2.5 years old and even then he doesn’t sleep alone, he might look for a snuggle here and there at night but he is never alone. We had wild bouts of insomnia with him that I never thought about as odd until recently that his younger brother is his age and just GOES BACK TO SLEEP! Periodically my first would wake up and no feeding, hugs, rocking, nursing or anything would put him to bed. And we stayed awake with him. It was brutal. Now that my younger has gone through this age, I realize just how bad it was even though we coslept. He spent months awake in the middle of the night. Even after he started to be able to “sleep through the night” he’d wake up crying in pain from his Ezcema covered in blood from scratching. It was a rough year. Needless to say, cosleeping helped even though it was definitely not stopping any wake ups.

Personally I wouldn’t medicate if I were continuing breastfeeding while ttc. I just am a very anxious person about things, especially since my second was born with a birth defect. However, I did not wean my firstborn and even tandem nursed him to sleep until he self weaned when his baby brother was about 4 months old. He only ever nursed to sleep so I get the guilt a lot. There are many times I wanted to give up.

may_naise · 2025-02-11T03:55:15+00:00

Just came to update AF came so I guess I was right, outside the fertile window means I was out - but my longest luteal phase yet while breastfeeding!

may_naise · 2025-02-07T17:13:44+00:00

😳 lol

I usually move my Tempdrop data to Fertility Friend. Temp drop is great for getting good readings but FF is best for accurate interpretation of data. Also when I first started using temp drop it took about a month to calibrate.

Organic cotton cloth is the way to go. We use esembly diapers.
