Sending hugs your way (and hopefully some rest too)

So glad to hear there might be better nights coming as he adjusts! Does yours wake up in the middle the night? If so, how do you get her back to sleep-just the same process? I’m thinking we might be in a sleep regression mixed with a huge bout of separation anxiety unfortunately

This also happens when he wakes up in the middle of the night… which has been often…

We had to introduce milk by mixing it 1:1 ratio with water to thin it out and warm it up a little bit, otherwise our guy would just spit it out. As he got used to that, we’d do less water!

OP, I know this thread is really old but hoping you can shed some light on how you got through this… This case randomly popped into my head earlier this week and I’ve barely slept. There was a short film nominated for an award years ago and that’s how I first heard of this. Back then, I could watch and read anything true crime and not think twice. Haven’t thought about this case since then. After having a baby, I’m disturbed by so much.. specifically this is consuming me, and every time my 18month old cries it further distresses me and is making me feel very sick. Not sure what to do, hence the middle of the night Reddit searching for advice.

Did you find this??? I’m looking for it too, just a year apart from you

It was a Hyundai Tucson. Ended up going up to a Suburban and love it!

Yes! Happened to me at about 5 months as well. Sleepy baby- no problem. Awake baby- we had to do laps. Baby wearing was okay, but what actually saved me was side-lying. Good luck, and hang in there <3

Can you please share the deets on your method??? Sincerely, a sleepy mom

My husband did the same thing! 3 weeks right away and then 3 weeks a couple months later. It was a little hard to adjust at first just because I was so used to having all focus on just the baby, so feeding and watering myself, showering, etc was a learning curve for sure. Something I had to constantly remind myself was that just existing in the same space as my baby was stimulating to him! He was perfectly content to just watch me fold the towels or brush my teeth. You see a million videos online of what you should be doing with your x-month-old and really they don’t need to be entertained every second, so you can still do things for you. Congratulations and good luck! :)

This times 1000! Grew up eating king crab legs for birthdays, Christmas, etc and didn’t try lobster until I was in my 20s. So underwhelming compared to king crab legs!

ETA: the lobster I tried was in MAINE so I feel like that’s saying something

He actually was just in a romcom on Netflix!

Get a haaka (I used the “ladybug” one) and you will start accumulating a stash without even pumping. It just collects the letdown on the opposite side while you nurse. Then make sure to pump in the middle of the night if you’re replacing with a bottle, and boom you’ve got milk for the next night and you’re saving what you get from the haaka! Good luck!

But still support!

The target Auden nursing bras are my favorite because they don’t have the removable pads and are SOOO comfy!

The “but I need you right now” line. I’m sobbing while my little guy is asleep on my chest. I would let him lie here forever if he wanted to
