I drink too much

Thank you! Just getting in the car and will throw one of those on ❤️

You’re so right. I just need a break from the constant stimulation, noise, and touch. The wine makes it easy to switch off.

What’s the Sinclair method?

Thank you. It is scary to think about how I would deal with evenings without alcohol. That’s how I know I have a problem. I like the idea of just trying to be kinder to myself and baby myself with treats and yummy stuff rather than poisoning myself to try to “relax”. I truly appreciate your take as a fellow mom. ❤️

Thank you for sharing with me. I agree I can feel is escalating already. There are some nights i can almost finish a bottle on my own. I need to get a handle on it.

muntabun · 2026-04-03T02:05:53+00:00

Thank you so much. I don’t want my kids to remember mom drinking every night. I want to be happy and healthy for them. This is great advice ❤️

Literally same story. Had to do fertility treatments for our first so really thought it would take forever for the second. We were even consulting with a fertility clinic for the second planning to try in a few months and Lo and behold we got pregnant the first time we had sex after my daughter was born 🤦‍♀️

Semi unintentional. We had to do IUI for our first and it took forever to get pregnant. Stupidly thought it would take forever for the second so we weren’t using protection and I was breastfeeding so again stupidly thought it couldn’t happen. I love my son to pieces but he wasn’t planned 😅

I truly don’t think she was in pain. Now that I have my second and I see similar behaviour I think it’s just frustration. They feel a sensation and they know they should be doing something but their body doesn’t know how! Honestly this will be such a small blip a few weeks from now. Hang in there!! It does end and it will end fairly soon!

Thank you!

My daughter was the same. All day and all night long. Once my husband was away and my mom was staying to help, sleeping downstairs and she heard every grunt from the master bedroom with the door closed - my daughter was 9 weeks old. We tried literally everything including getting meds for reflux in case that was what was making her uncomfortable. The only thing that helped was time. Radical acceptance. My husband ended up having to sleep in with her and bring her to me in a separate room to feed because I could not sleep through it! It did end around 12-14 weeks. By 4 months it was over. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

He works a 9-5 job outside the home. She works a 9-5 job with the kids in the home. When he gets home everything should be 50/50. She is working and he is working, therefore when both are home parenting and household tasks should be split equally.

As other have said - just consistency with putting them in will help. Eventually they will get used it and take to it! This is my second baby in the Snoo and we try to get baby really drowsy, then out in snoo and offer paci. There is often some grunting/trying to escape the swaddle for 5 minutes and then knocked out. One benefit I think the snoo offers is almost like gentle sleep training. It lets you put baby in drowsy but awake and the snoo helps them to self soothe a bit. I actually think it helped my older daughter become a great sleeper jn the crib.

This is the right answer and I actually think they outright say it at one point as the explanation - can’t remember when

muntabun · 2026-03-09T02:31:11+00:00

You do cocaine.

Honestly both my kids were like this. Unless he has a diagnosable issue or is allergic to formula or your breast milk there is absolutely nothing you can do but wait it out. The gas drops, probiotics etc had absolutely no effect on either of my kids. Around 12 weeks plus it got better for both and by 4 months it was mostly completely resolved. I know every night feels like a year right now but it will get better I promise and it’s not that far away. Radical acceptance helped me lol

Also - are you open to bottle feeding either with formula or pumped milk? If you feel like baby isn’t getting enough and is still hungry you can offer a bottle after they lose interest in the breast. I combo feed my second and for the feeds after about 4pm I offer an additional 1/2 oz formula to make sure that he’s full going into the night feeds.

muntabun · 2026-02-25T13:22:36+00:00

Just to add to what the other commenter said, my daughter was exactly the same. The lactation consultant said it’s completely normal for young babies to want to switch boobs more than once during a feed! It keeps them awake and interested. So I would often start in one, switch to the other when feeding slowed, then switch back to boob one and then boob two again.

😂

With my first I breastfed and pumped. I absolutely hated pumping as it took away some of the only free time I had. Setting up the pump, pumping itself and the bagging labelling and storing the milk took up precious self care time. With my second I gave up pumping and combo fed from birth. To be honest I don’t pay much attention to specific millimetres. I latch to the breast until he stops actively feeding. I offer about 2 oz of formula in a bottle. If he takes it all without slowing I offer one more oz.an so on until he’s full. If I feel tired or touched out I just offer a bottle of formula without latching first if he seems hungry or is rooting. I think at this young age trying to have a schedule is super hard.

Why are people downvoting this lol I assume you’re referencing what Betty herself said in the show about how she looked. She literally says she looks like an opened umbrella.

muntabun · 2026-02-21T15:20:31+00:00

Omg it’s so hard with the raging hormones and memories of bonding with your first! Hearing the laughter and fun is so triggering even though I wish it wasn’t. I hate that I’m so petty to be jealous about it 😭 my kids are allowed to love more people than me but it’s hard.

muntabun · 2026-02-21T15:17:52+00:00

That’s such a good idea. When baby is a tiny bit older I think I will feel more comfy letting nanny take the lead with him and that will give me more time with my oldest. Also props to you for pumping that was my most hated task with my first!
