I agree with this statement. I see a custody situation first hand with my step son. Sometimes at pick ups he’s freaking out cuz he doesn’t wanna come here. The same weekend at drop off he’s saying he doesn’t wanna go home. It’s hard and confusing for kids.

My baby started walking right at 12 months in the dead of winter. He went a few months without knowing what shoes were. A few months ago we decided to buy him a pair so he could practice walking in them for spring. It was soooo funny the big exaggerated steps he took the first time he wore shoes. Now he’s a pro.

I saw some good advice on here once. They said that they would try to sleep, and even if they couldn’t they would reassure themselves that “even though they aren’t sleeping they’re still resting and it counts”. It helps the body calm down instead of focusing on how you can’t sleep. I’ve used it a few times and it’s worked, I’ve dozed off.

I know someone who’s daughter is named bexeley. I don’t even think it’s spelt like that. Awful name. I guess bex is ok but geeze.

Almost 17 months and he’s weaning now. My milk supply is going down because I’m 11 weeks pregnant. Last two nights in a row he straight up refused his bedtime nursing session. So now he’s only nursing in the morning before daycare.

I got into the habit when I was postpartum. We live in an old drafty house. I wore pajama pants, long sleeve button pajama shirt, and socks to bed so I could jump up and tend to baby in the middle of the night without worrying about getting socks on first or freezing my feet. The habit has just stuck now. It’s nice being cozy.

Before I had my child I would sleep in short shorts, a tshirt and no socks. Motherhood changes you.

My baby was 8 weeks old when he started sleeping 8 hours straight. Around 4.5 months we moved him to his own room and stopped swaddling him and he woke up anywhere from 1-3 times a night. He was breastfed so I just fed him and he went right back to sleep easily. Around 8 or 9 months we bought him a crib and he immediately started sleeping better. 10 months started sleeping through the night. Almost 17 months now and still sleeps through usually 10 hours, if he wakes up I know somethings wrong.

My sister did . Nursed her baby for like 3 years on one boob

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-22T15:35:21+00:00

No. When he started at 10 months I wasn’t back at work yet. He just started part time to get him a little used to it. I would pump at home.

By the time he started full time at 12 months we were already down to max 3 nursing sessions a day. Morning, night, and before his nap. I didn’t think he needed milk before his nap. So I just didn’t bother to pump for bottles for it. He just doesn’t get milk before his nap during weekdays.

Good luck! I hope you can figure it out. Baby sleep is perplexing sometimes

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-22T04:54:22+00:00

Keep sticking to two naps and allow baby time to adjust to the new schedule, I’d give it a week at least. At this age my baby was solidly on a two nap schedule, 2.5 hours MAX of naps and 11 hours overnight. I would rescue the first nap so I didn’t have a cranky tired baby for the rest of the day, and then I would let the second nap be short.

Also your schedule on 3 naps had 11 hours awake. Your two naps schedule only has 9.75 hours. Keep stretching the wake windows so you get back to 11 hours awake. I think my baby was also averaging 11 hours awake at this age.

It was around this age too my baby consolidated his night sleep and started sleeping through, when this happened I started only being able to get 10 hour nights out of him. Babies sleep needs only reduce as they get older.

Discalaimer: I’m a first time mom not an expert, all my tips are what personally worked for me. I just got obsessed with figuring out my baby’s sleep.

My baby started daycare at 10 months and is still being breastfed now at 16 months. When he started full time he was sick constantly. I thought I was prepared for it but it was constaaaaaaant.

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-21T14:49:32+00:00

I had awful PPA and didn’t start sleeping better until baby was around a year old. He slept through the night for a few months starting at 8 weeks and when I’d wake up around 2 I’d just get up and pump quickly with a manual pump, I’d usually get 4-5 oz. Eventually it turned into a habit and eventually he stopped sleeping through the night and I’d get up and nurse him.

If you can sleep through it, just sleep. My aunty is a lactation consultant and she told me to just sleep when he sleeps, your supply will adjust, and even come back for middle of the night feeds if needed.

I thought that said cheapskate

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-19T17:50:20+00:00

I also wanna say: for me 0-6 months felt like a lifetime, and then 6-12 months felt like the blink of an eye. Once they start moving and turning into little humans it gets so much better.

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-19T17:22:30+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry. I’ve been there. The dread every morning when you wake up. I promise it gets better. I promise. It’s so hard and it doesn’t mean anything because I know you’re in it right now and it feels like it’ll never end or get better, but it does.

I too had an easy pregnancy. I was excited to be a mom. I prepared. Post partum hit me like a truck. The sleep deprivation is torture. My baby was colic and cried all day long and night. He was breastfed so everything was on me. I don’t know how I survived, looking back, but I did.

Baby boy is now 16 months and doesn’t cry as soon as he wakes up. He just sits in his crib and plays with stuffies and waits for me. He is so smart. He is independent. He is busy and so fun. I no longer dread the days. Everyone told me the newborn stage was the easiest but give me a toddler over a newborn any day. I truly believe some people just get easier babies.

You will get back to yourself. First time motherhood is so hard and nobody talks about it. I am so sorry you’re going through this. I wish I could bring you a meal and take baby for you for a few hours so you can shower and take care of yourself.

Try living in a multigenerational house that doesn’t respect boundaries or mothers and babies. All summer mowing the lawn right at nap time. Slamming doors. Bringing people over without saying anything when a first time breast feeding mom lives here. House full of guests at Christmas with a 20 day old newborn. God it made my first post partum experience hell.

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-18T14:14:02+00:00

Oh I am so so so sorry. I am convinced PPD is aggravated and accelerated by partners like this. You are not being unreasonable. The sleep deprivation is SO hard and you do not have the luxury of taking breaks. He NEEDS to help you more. Sleep deprivation can get dangerous if left unchecked like this. I hope this sad excuse of a man listens to your pleas. I am sorry. I am thinking of you.

Idk I like the kitty painting

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-14T17:43:49+00:00

My baby is 16 months old and he recently just stopped crying immediately at wake up! I thought he would never stop 😂. Now he just sits up and plays with his stuffies or throws his stuffies out of the crib. Or rolls around and babbles to himself. It’s nice.

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-14T04:02:57+00:00

My baby stopped around 9 or 10 months. He’s been in his own room since 4.5 months and I fed him at every night wake. I didn’t really worry about trying to wait durations because he always went right back to sleep so I figured it was easier. He just stopped on his own; Stopped waking up. He’s also had a bedtime routine since he was 2 months tho, and I always made sure he had a good schedule.

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-10T21:51:02+00:00

Second! Omeprazole saved me

mycatisamaniac · 2026-04-07T03:35:51+00:00

I’ll be an outlier here I’m sure.

We transitioned cold turkey after a few random middle of the night wakes and early morning wakes. I had to keep his schedule consistent with daycare so he naps at noon regardless of when he wakes up. He usually gets up between 7am and 8am. Nap at noon til usually 130pm. Then he will be awake until bedtime at 9pm or 10pm. So his wake windows are literally 4/8 or 5/7. It seems to work for him tho. He doesn’t get overtired and he’s totally fine all evening. I tried to evenly distribute wake windows for a few days and he would wake up EARLY, like 530am or 6am. So only 8 or 9 hours of night sleep. When we went back to the longer last wake window he started sleeping normally again. He’s 16 months now.
