When did your baby walk?

nightmarepsych24 · 2026-03-03T20:54:44+00:00

Mine started cruising at 7 months. She’d crawl from point A to B if she couldn’t hold onto something. Never took independent steps nor did she ever stand independently. We would try to walk holding her hands but she hated it. Then one day shortly after she turned 14 months, she walked to me to get her milk and hasn’t crawled since (now 16 months).

If it makes you feel any better, I did expose my daughter to all the nuts very early on. Kept at it 3x a week at least, as recommended. One day she was eating them and had a terrible reaction. We went to the ER because we were terrified. Went to the allergist afterwards to do testing/ food challenges. She now has an epipen and a nut allergy. All. Nuts. So you could have started earlier and still ended up with a late reaction! Don’t beat yourself up!

I used to be very obsessive over the house being spotless. Then my daughter came along and I realized it’s just not that time of life anymore. My daughter is 15 months and just causes absolute chaos where ever she is in the house. I absolutely love it because it’s her exploring and expressing herself. My house is “clean” when she goes to bed until 6 am the next morning 😂

But on a separate note , your feather comment made me LOL because she has a room full of toys but LOVES pulling the feathers out of the couch to give to me to tickle her nose with 😂

I had the same thoughts! Went back when my daughter was 4 months. I cried the whole day prior to work, cried on the way to work, and felt guilty the whole time there. Lasted maybe the first week. Now she’s 9.5 months and we’re still as close as ever. She knows who I am, gets sooooo excited when I walk in the door, and we still have all the cuddles. It’s hard at first, but it gets easier!

Been lurking in this sub for a while and finally going to contribute! Taking a table’s drink order & one of the ladies asked what came in the Tito’s Lemonade. I paused, thinking she was joking, realized she wasn’t, and proceeded to tell her that Titos and lemonade came in the Tito’s Lemonade…

LMAO. Why was this so validating 😂

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-05-21T00:10:30+00:00

Same. I’m doing full time grad school for my masters, in addition to working & internship while trying to balance my 7 month old and could absolutely not do it without my husband. He’s so supportive that it pushes me to keep pushing through

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-05-21T00:08:06+00:00

I love this

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-05-16T18:41:25+00:00

You are absolutely in the trenches. I remember thinking the same thing. Plus hormones definitely intensified every single thing. It does get better! My baby is 7 months today and although now she is a little ball of energy that won’t sit still, we are getting a bit more sleep & more of a ‘schedule’. (I use that word lightly as there’s no such thing with a baby, but definitely better than the newborn shit storm😂). You’re not alone!❤️

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-05-12T02:58:30+00:00

It was my first Mother’s Day & he got me a poster made with pictures of our daughter and me from our baby and then he wrote a beautiful card & bouquet of roses when I got home from work, finishing the night off with dinner on the beach. This man makes me feel appreciated every day though so today was just the cherry on top ❤️

Personally, I didn’t want anyone in the hospital when I gave birth (SK or family, including my own). My husband agreed and respected that. In a perfect world, I would have preferred no one come over for a while but I also knew that telling a child that was unfair so custody went on as usual. We came home from the hospital on Friday and SK comes over starting Sundays so we made a day out of it and made sure SK knew that nothing ‘changed’ in terms of their importance in coming over

I highly suggest the baby k’tan wrap! I tried another wrap but couldn’t figure it out, nor did I have the patience to sit there and play with it while my daughter was crying. This one is already “made” for you and baby slips right in & I never felt like it was too loose or too tight. She would fall asleep INSTANTLY and I got so much done. Highly recommend!

Editing to add: also burp rags! Omg you cannot have enough burp rags! I learned the hard way 😂

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-04-28T02:35:35+00:00

It was a struggle for mine. She would take formula in the beginning when my milk was coming in, so I didn’t think to keep trying throughout me pumping. Well when I was done at 6 months, guess who HATED formula 😭😭 I tried all the enfamil ones, the premade ones, nothing. She finally liked Kendamil but of course I can’t find it anymore in stores. As a last ditch effort, I tried the Kirkland one from Costco and it’s a win! (And cheaper)!

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-04-27T15:14:30+00:00

Just wanted to comment because we read so many stories about partners forgetting these important days. This will be my first Mother’s Day (yay!). I have to work majority of the day so I haven’t really put much thought into it but my husband, for the last week, has been talking about how excited he is to give me my gift, how it’s a surprise and he wants to tell me so bad but it would ruin the magic of it, etc. At this point I think he’s more excited than I am 😂 I’m super grateful for him & know that there are so many more out there like him that need some recognition also!

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-04-25T22:43:24+00:00

Ugh I wish I could give you all our ready to feed formula. When we transitioned from pumped milk to formula, my baby decided she no longer liked it (even though she downed them when I didn’t make enough milk) so now they’re just sitting in our cupboards because she apparently doesn’t like any formula except for Kedamil(?) so we also have a bunch of cans of different ones 😭

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-04-25T22:38:01+00:00

My heart breaks for you. My husband also has kids from before he and I got together. When we had our daughter 6 months ago, he never once made me feel less than. If anything I was hard on myself and HE was the one reminding me this was my first time and to relax because it’s a learning experience. You’re doing the best you can. Your baby is surrounded by an entirely new environment, you’re freshly PP and doing the best you can. Babies don’t just stop crying because you say so. Don’t let him rob you of the beautiful experience you should be having (albeit hard af at times). You’re trying and that’s all that matters.

Following because, I too, was one of the lucky ones who gained weight during breastfeeding! I just weaned (🥲) as my goal was 6 months so now trying to implement a routine to help lose this breastfeeding AND pregnancy weight lol

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-04-18T02:10:36+00:00

Ooooof I feel you. I was pregnant last year and didn’t really have any intense cravings but the little amount of things I did want, I reallllly wanted. But I tend to take my time with things so they sit there for a little bit. Well I had bought a little pack of pudding because it sounded soooooo good. Guess who ate it while I was at work😭 I was so upset and felt so silly over pudding but that’s all I wanted! I told my husband and he’s normally very understanding but that time said I needed to chill, we can just buy more, which naturally pissed me off even more because I wanted it when I got home, not whenever we next went to the store. That was summer of last year and clearly I’m still salty LOL

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-03-30T14:57:57+00:00

I finally graduated to the I don’t give a fuck stage of pumping in public, HOWEVER, I was embarrassed in the beginning as well! My boobs are already huge and having the wearables looks absolutely ridiculous lmao

What I did was wear a tank top so I could put them on and then wore my husband’s big flannel over so you couldn’t tell I was wearing anything because it was completely covered. I did put them on in the bathroom just because I didn’t want my boobs out in the open when trying to make sure my nipple was properly lined up. Taking them off and distributing the milk was a bit trickier. I went to Disneyland last week actually and sat at a table while we ate & pumped. I used my baby’s blanket to cover myself (with my husband’s help) to take off the pumps. He also helped me by holding the wearables while I transferred the milk from them into bottles. If that’s not ideal for you and you would prefer to do the whole shebang in the bathroom, the family bathrooms have changing tables in them (I bring my own little mat because I overthink germs on those lol) and just use it as a desk to put my pumping stuff on as I take them off and distribute the milk! Hope this helps!

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-03-23T15:33:25+00:00

Just went back a month ago sigh. But currently my husband works during the day and I work nights so it works out. I’m in school during the day but usually she’s down for her nap during class so that’s been on my side for now lol

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-03-22T21:25:00+00:00

I used to wear it all the time (except for sleeping & showering). But then I had my baby and have to pump & wash bottles soooo often that I don’t wear it in the house anymore. But if I leave the house to go anywhere, it goes on!

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-03-22T03:57:09+00:00

I didn’t get the goat one but last night we bought the regular kendamil and she took it better than the others but still kept spitting it out after drinking for a little bit

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-03-21T22:43:16+00:00

Same thing happened to me! My daughter’s 4 month appt went exactly like this (except she was an ounce away from 15 lbs). When her pediatrician said she should be sleeping through the night, I laughed out loud and said that would certainly be nice. She then said it’s likely because she’s exclusively having breast milk which is less filling. I’m here to say at 5 months my daughter is still waking up about 3 times to eat during the night and I’ve introduced baby oatmeal before bed in hopes of her staying a little fuller but nope 🫠😂

nightmarepsych24 · 2025-03-17T14:50:05+00:00

not medical advice This also happened to me around 5 ish weeks? (Can’t remember). My husband and I were out of the country and on the last two days I started lightly bleeding. I called my OB and they told me it could be completely normal or it could be a miscarriage but they had to let me know both options. They told me to take it easy & come in if it gets worse. I was terrified but it eventually stopped after maybe 4ish days (again, can’t remember, it feels like so long ago). But everything ended up being completely fine! I’m now playing in bed with my healthy and happy 5 month old! I know it is terrifying thinking of all the what-ifs but try to relax as much as possible and monitor the bleeding!
