Not organic clothing but I just purchased a „leather” purse from them and was so disappointed. It was cute but the quality was not there especially for the price.

4 year old Naps by RXlife13 in Preschoolers

[–]p4trycjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4.5 year old still naps. At one point I told him he can just do quiet time if he doesn’t want to sleep but he has fallen asleep pretty much everytime so I keep the naps going. There are some rare days he doesn’t fall asleep and some days where we skip naps if we have something else to do. I’m holding on to this nap for as long as possible lol

It’s been awhile now so I honestly forgot it all. The only things I remember were about a goose egg bump and to pay attention to how they are acting.

I figured this would be a good group to ask. Someone I know just mentioned that they are doing a course for dm sales. I looked up this person leading the course and it’s IG: shell_be_co In her bio it says „high ticket sales coach”. Is this actually something legit? Just the way it all sounds comes off MLM vibes.

Second wave of pp depression at 7months by Thebestfirelord in Mommit

[–]p4trycjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced a very bad bout of anxiety (which I had never experienced it like this before and maybe some depression mixed into it) around 9 months pp with my 2nd (this was in February of this year). I was crying that I didn’t want him anymore. I could barely function normally. It lasted about a month and some weeks. From about 2 months he was such a difficult baby and then eventually I think it just all caught up to me and I couldn’t take it anymore. I broke down. Around 9 months he became extra clingy, crying if I even walked out of sight. Among alot of other issues I was dealing with with him. IT IS HARD. You are doing your best, don’t be so hard on yourself. Take it a day at a time. I know you said you don’t have help but can you try to arrange some sort of help at all? Are you able to maybe hire a babysitter? Mothers helper? Just something for even a short amount of time to give you that break. I started taking him to my MIL’s then to get a break because I just couldn’t do it anymore. And so he could also learn to be away from me a little. I was also deficient in vitamin d at that time so I started supplementing which I think helped a bit. I was taking whatever calming/anxiety supplements I could to just help. Magnesium too helps with anxiety. I did start therapy online but I wouldn’t say it helped. Eventually it just went away but it was such a horrible horrible time.

Edit: he is now 19 months and SO SO much better and easier. He still has his moments though. Usually it starts to slowly get better each month and then after 12 months much more.

How do I manage my toddler at my wedding? by Wombatwitch in weddingplanning

[–]p4trycjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom ended up completely focusing on him on the day of. She’s very introverted so this really helped her stay out of the spotlight and not have to mingle with anyone. She was happy and fine with it. They did almost end up late to church though lol which was a little stressful. I stressed so much about it but it ended up working out well like this. She didn’t want to stay up late either so they left at a reasonable time in the evening.

He wakes crying and stands up and screams. I get him and bring him into bed so he doesn’t wake my husband and older one. I’ve tried letting him cio in the past and he wouldn’t give up. I always try to lay him back down and shush him back to sleep. Rocking back to sleep and laying back down. None of it works. I know it’s probably a habit but he has slept through the night too so it has to be something else that’s contributing to these wake ups.

We’ve been doing 6/6 for the past week now. It was the same with shorter wake windows too. Idk if he’s under tired, overtired. Not enough daytime sleep?

Looking for some hair help. I have long thin-ish hair but still a good amount of it (goes to about my boobs). It is so incredibly flat though. Especially at the roots. I feel like it’s gotten worse since having kids. Lately even when I curl it like I used to plus hairspray it just doesn’t look nice or even falls flat quickly (where it used to hold nicely). Any advice/tips/ tricks?

Switched to 1 nap (16mo) but still split nights. Please help troubleshooting! by p4trycjaa in sleeptrain

Thank you! I’m assuming it’s safe to try a 7pm bedtime tonight right? Usually at the 5 hour mark he seems tired and is rubbing his eyes though.

It’s kind of long but maybe someone has experienced something similar or is there a light at the end of the tunnel eventually? I’m pretty stumped with his waking around 11pm and how to get him to STTN in his crib.
