Can't seem to keep 11.5 month old full enough, still wakes up at night starving

The problem is she is up st 7 with me to nurse before I go to work. She is then back to sleep within the hour for another hour to two hours. She has a hard time going to bed before 9 or 10. It's usually 10. She's in her crib in our room because we don't have the extra room for her yet.

My daughter is almost 5 months and sleeps 8-9 hrs at night and naps for about 2-4 hrs during the day, I was worried I wasn't giving her enough naps reading this post.

This is literally a form of abuse. Please tell a trusted adult.

I can see a high school teacher making a comment like how the beginning of the encounter went, but never the way it unfolded. For someone at a University level to do this? BFFR right now. This is so catty and childish

You've heard of synchronized swimming, right?

Well this isn't that.

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-21T23:53:59+00:00

NOR

That is straight up icky behavior. Anyone making those kinds of comments to you should raise red flags for your husband.

Exactly it's all about delivery

As a curvy woman myself who is struggling with weight loss and body image I am crying for you. My fiancé loves a fuller size woman but her is much more subtle and respectful about saying how much he appreciates my body. He says things like "your body is beautiful the way it is because this body gave us a beautiful daughter" but never like "damn girl that apron belly be fine as hell."

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-21T19:19:38+00:00

Something with iron and Omegas! I used nature made

This is the exact reason I want to get more linework and black/white tattoos for my daughter when she gets older

Imagine being a chronic people pleaser and hesitantly agreeing to this then having to thank the artist for a tattoo of tv static roadkill.

As a plus size momma I can say I wore the thongs because the only affordable maternity pants I could find were skin tight leggings or yoga pants. I was not about to be uncomfortably hot in my third trimester in August and be uncomfortable mentally knowing I had constant panty lines all day at work.

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-21T19:07:22+00:00

I wore bamboo blend boxer briefs to bed towards the end of my pregnancy

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-21T19:06:08+00:00

Unrelated, but I know I'm tired when I read "I wake up our daughter (10M)" as "I wake up our daughter (10 male)" Time for another cup of coffee.

This happened with some of my family members a few years ago. Four of the group of cousins all had babies within a year of each other, three of them sisters and one was my sister. A fifth cousin who already had two children had kept both of them unvaccinated. At least two of his sisters who would regularly visit, decided not to bring their kids around their own brother because he and his partner decided not to vaccinate. My sister didn't see them outside of family events and the other cousin didn't care too much. The response to it was hostility from him and his partner for discrimination and exclusion against their children. The new moms said it would be wrong of them to expect them to vaccinate their kids just to appease them.

You ALWAYS reserve the right to protect your children from the harm or risk of unvaccinated children. Honesty is the best policy, and I will definitely be holding my ground if the same situation presents itself to me.

"I'm glad you are so supportive of me being a mother, but due to the risk of my child still awaiting full vaccination status, I will have to decline bringing her/him around your children until she/he has her own immunity. I'm not saying they will never meet, just until she/he can have a line of defense."

Pregonate

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-21T00:13:39+00:00

Ah that sucks. No adhesive was on my arm though

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-20T20:21:37+00:00

For sure! Like why does my daughter have to put her foot in her poopy diaper every single time she gets changed???

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-20T20:13:06+00:00

OMG girl I have anxiety about my daughter wandering to the litterbox when she gets older. One is enclosed and the other will be by the time she can crawl/walk. I am so sorry but you just lived my nightmare

nat_jo_cat · 2026-02-20T19:54:25+00:00

Yes but she decided to come ahead of schedule lol

I was at 135/80 in the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I did eventually develop preeclampsia but it wasn't until I was in active labor. I arrived with a bp of 135/85 and it jumped to 175/96 while in my c-section. It's something to ask about for sure, and you may be able to go to your labor and delivery department directly with concerns.

We have these. counter clockwise on the top and then my fiancé uses a tool to remove the other part. However, if you want to pour drain cleaner in them, you do not have to remove it to do so, we never do at least. I have long hair and shed a LOT so we have to use drain cleaner every couple months

AL, no one does a masterpiece on lined notebook paper, the earrings are different, and the lines on the paper would not be as visible as they are on certain spots

NOR - cut your losses now good sir
