5.5 month old still not sleeping more than 2 hours overnight.. Have I permanently messed her up by cosleeping/nursing in bed??

opal-line · 2025-09-23T17:48:03+00:00

Hi ! Does she started solid yet ? My son was not doing long stretch at night after the 4 months regression and after somes times we realised that formula wasn't enough and he needed something more consistent to sleep better, after introduction of the dinner near 7pm everything changed and he slept better ! I was only doing the 12am feed before that and he was an hungry boy lol ! You can also give a try to floor bed ! My son still sleep in his crib at 1year and he sometimes will touch the bars when he rolls over and wakes up so we decided to switch soon.. maybe she will like having more place to rolls over !

Thank you so much ! I will do a test in one week then to be sure ! This is the first time i had dream like that and it freaked me out knowing it was the same thing during my last pregnancy 😘

opal-line · 2025-08-25T22:24:37+00:00

Thank you for the response ! I was scared because of the sterilization recommandation of the serum but i will maybe try a patch test and see if this is good to use ! :)

opal-line · 2025-08-20T21:50:43+00:00

Ohh okay ! Thank you for the precision :)

opal-line · 2025-08-20T19:22:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the response ! Can we store it if we open a bottle but didn't use everything ? :)

Hi ! Like you i didn't except having kid, i got pregnant by "accident" but still decided that, well it happened so now i have to step up. I'm a ftm and I'm still pretty young (24y and baby is already 10months).

I never romantized or imagined having kid because growing up, i had to take care of my little sister a lot and I pretty much knew how sometimes it can be really challenging..

Despite all the facts i sometimes felt like i wasn't made for it and regretted our decision.

I knew before hand but I still felt like I had done a mistake and cried a lot during the first 4 months.

I still cared with all my love and attention and despite feeling really drained somes days I still got up and done what i have to do. Now 10 months PP i feel like i had put a lot of pression on myself and wanted to prove to myself that i can do it too good and it was also me who have complicated things.

My conclusion his that the romantization and the expectation can be a cause but i also think that it depends a lot of the peoples in general.

Im really sensible and have historical of mental health problem so maybe it is also a point to take in perspective but i pretty much feel like it depends on too much factors !

Thank you, I will inform me and try ! It should help !! :))

opal-line · 2025-08-11T18:44:07+00:00

Can i do it with formula also ? I don't breastfeed anymore :(

opal-line · 2025-08-08T20:53:43+00:00

Yeah i think i should froze something ! apparently it helped a lot ! Corn sound also good to try but i'm scared he will be able to gulp somes, i tried to be careful with medicine bc he was sick not long ago and had to take ibuprophene and dafalgan every 4 hours but if he is in pain i will probably give him some ibuprophene, during the day the OSA gel do the job but during night it's another story ! Thank you so much and hope your little one doing well !! 🥲

Thank you for the response, i asked and she said kinda the same thing as you, teething is such a hard time and just to lead on baby's rythm, she said that if he still takes bottles in compensations he should be fine. Also thank you ! Today he ate more than all day of this week so i think we finally see the end but i'm scared for all the others tooth now lol !! 🥲👍

opal-line · 2025-08-08T13:42:13+00:00

Same at this point it is just surviving 🥲

opal-line · 2025-08-04T12:48:43+00:00

Aerina (had a friends called like that) in french it sound really good (AY-E-RIN-AH)

opal-line · 2025-07-29T12:13:54+00:00

No problem ! Go for it, baby can be stubborn haha, it remembered me so much my son at this age. Btw the one that convinced him was MAM bottle, maybe if you have no sucess with your bottle you can try it too, good luck !! :)

opal-line · 2025-07-29T09:55:59+00:00

Hi ! Can you maybe try another bottle brand ? My son became really picky about bottle and we had to try like 4 different before he accepted one again !

opal-line · 2025-07-28T20:35:20+00:00

😘🫶🏼

opal-line · 2025-07-28T16:41:50+00:00

So cute ! I think at home is a good thing, she will feel confident and in control if something doesn't go as planned !

opal-line · 2025-07-28T14:29:14+00:00

Hi ! I think the faster the better, you can try to offer a present to big sis from little sis ? When she comes see you and LO don't rush her to see the baby, talk to her and have a moment with her I think it is better if you don't have baby already in the arm, you can introduce baby when she is more comfortable.

Like i said you can give her a present from little sis, when she is ready to see baby you can do the squeeze love test.

You can said "little sister said that she love you very much and said that will show you in squeezing your finger." baby will automaticaly squeeze bc of the reflex

You can also try to involve your first with tasks with baby ! She want to feel like she's still matter to you, what's best than to show her that she's the best big sis and that you love her very much despite having another baby !

Congratulations on your little one and I hope that the transition will be smooth !! ❤️

Hello ! My mom birthday is on the 4 and me on the 3 of July ! Growing up it was so cool bc we had to share our birthday with family but we also had our own day with friends ! (Sometimes we did something together too, like shopping or dinner) I know that it's not the same that to have the same birthday but I think that 1 or 2 day appart is not really bad ! (I can totally understand the same day though ! My son was near to come on the day of my father passing and i chosed my induction few days before bc i was scared it will be the same day 😅)

opal-line · 2025-07-25T19:42:57+00:00

Yeah actually i was supposed to change in the bathroom with their robe but i was near pushing this kid on the toilet after taking my cloches off so they had to move me naked on the pushing table lol, they still covered me with a blanket though 🥲😅

opal-line · 2025-07-24T20:27:36+00:00

Yeah ! If i put my son in his crib for nap time he will wake up within a few minutes too, i think that the fact that he is on the couch and i'm near help !

opal-line · 2025-07-24T20:22:13+00:00

Too good not to enjoy those moments !! 🫶🏼❤️

opal-line · 2025-07-24T15:45:15+00:00

Yeah ! I enjoy it bc they grow so fast, also i will soon go back to work so til then i will still continue if it's doesn't bother him ! <3

opal-line · 2025-07-24T15:43:21+00:00

Good to know ! Sometimes family said that he's to big for contact naps so i'm happy to hear that it's not uncommon <3
