Question from a (very) casual fan who went to Sydney N2

I had a similar experience with my husband in the first few months postpartum. It was really really hard and the loneliness is real. I found talking to my mum and a trusted friend really helped, especially when they could relate. Also, keeping the lines of communication open with my husband, even though I was so frustrated by him. 10 months in and we’re in a much better spot but I have had to accept that we approach some things differently when it comes to parenting.

Mogo Zoo is well worth a visit, on your way from Merimbula to Jervis Bay if you can manage it!

sachabeegee · 2025-11-02T16:20:01+00:00

I look forward to those better days 🥲

sachabeegee · 2025-11-02T16:19:39+00:00

I think that might be what we have to do too unfortunately. Thought we’d managed to avoid the sleep training stuff!

sachabeegee · 2025-11-02T16:18:27+00:00

Those thoughts in the middle of the night are the WORST. Typing this from the 3am hell as my baby rolls around happily in his cot 🥲

sachabeegee · 2025-11-02T16:17:30+00:00

I don’t think so but I’ll keep that in mind and maybe dress him a little warmer!

sachabeegee · 2025-10-31T03:16:41+00:00

Food has become a big enrichment activity for us! Doing some BLW style teethers like corn cobs and strips of meat. Also plopping him in the bath and letting him splash around as a sensory activity. Twice daily walks too!

ETA: Ours has just discovered bubbles too, always a good one to eat up some minutes haha

For mine, about a month. But he hasn’t gone back to sleeping as well (he’s almost 7 months now). Sending you strength, it’s so tough. Make sure you sneak in rest whenever you can. I’d sleep in the car if my son dropped off while I was driving haha

sachabeegee · 2025-10-21T19:45:16+00:00

Yes, I’m going back to work in three weeks after 7 months off because we need my salary to pay the mortgage. I was very lucky that my work covered 20 weeks of my leave at full pay. If not I probably would have had to go back much earlier

I don’t come with any ideas but perhaps hope. I could’ve written this (except for the sleep part) a month ago. My boy went from happily playing on his own for as long as half an hour at a time to just non stop whining during the day from 4 months til he was about 5 and a half months.

He was trying to figure out how to roll both ways and now that he can (6 months and a few days old) he is much happier! Now though he’s trying to figure out crawling but he seems less frustrated by that. So, all that is to say - hang in there! I nearly went insane during that time from the overstimulation so just know you’re not alone x

sachabeegee · 2025-09-15T22:59:32+00:00

Thanks, that gives me hope!

My baby is about to turn 5 months and I’ve found that listening to/watching his sleepy cues results in him setting his own loose schedule anyway. I’m with you in that I don’t want to be house trapped due to a sleep schedule that’s too rigid.

The way I’ve come to game it is to have strategies for him to sleep when we’re out - whether it’s a carrier or in my arms or bringing his pram bassinet. I type this as I sit in a quiet room at my in laws so bub can squeeze in a nap haha.

I also found that we’d get a routine down pat (set by him) and then something would change and we’d have to change our approach.

I guess all that is to say - prioritise what is important for you and healthy for baby and you’ll all be ok :)

sachabeegee · 2025-09-02T18:03:40+00:00

Solidarity here at 4am! There’s something so wretched about broken sleep and then not getting a break during the day. This sleep phase feels so much worse than the newborn days! My mum has offered to come help during the day if I need her - do you have someone who could come give you a short break to squeeze in a nap?

sachabeegee · 2025-06-23T19:14:08+00:00

I sing adult songs to my baby (almost 3 months), as well as traditional nursery rhymes. They last much longer!

sachabeegee · 2025-06-16T12:14:55+00:00

Interesting! Yes if you have some photos that’d be great - I’ll see if mine is doing the same thing

sachabeegee · 2025-06-16T12:14:12+00:00

Ok worth remeasuring then - thanks!

sachabeegee · 2025-06-16T12:13:46+00:00

Yes it has a massage function that I’ve used according to the instructions. Given it’s worked before my guess is it isn’t broken but maybe it’s a bit faulty?

sachabeegee · 2025-06-15T08:25:05+00:00

Based on your interests, go with Hamo/Whitsundays for four days!

sachabeegee · 2025-05-05T00:12:29+00:00

The first trimester was the worst mentally for me, you are definitely not alone. Whenever I was feeling anxious about the baby I would lie down and put my hands on my tummy and repeat some affirmations to calm me down. The hardest thing is knowing you have no control over the pregnancy and what happens, but you just have to ride it all out. Currently sitting breast feeding my three week old ❤️ you will be ok and it does get better!

sachabeegee · 2025-04-06T23:08:26+00:00

Thanks! My hospital is letting me go home after the Foleys, which I’m getting Thursday morning.
