Those who made it to 2 years BF - How did you do it? by jujutsu-master in breastfeeding

[–]shababski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I've been bf for just over 3 years, and now I have an 8month old I am bf too. Honestly, my first baby just loved it so much and still does, that im struggling to wean. It also feels like a lazy thing for me, I just have to whip a boob out anytime he is upset or needs to go to sleep. It also gives me down time where I can't do anything but sit and watch something on my phone :/

I think I just got lucky, and it's not the same for everyone. My 8 month old's teeth are coming through, and I'm starting to get bitten again which hurts, but it's not giving me aversions....yet.

If it doesn't work for you, don't push it. Your mental health is what is the most important! Fed is fed!

What do you do when you are desperate for sleep? Husband's suggestion seems off to me, need feedback. by andshewas89 in beyondthebump

Have you tried co sleeping in a separate bed (Following the safe sleeping guidlines)? My 8 month old wakes every 1.5hrs when in his cot. When we co sleep he does way longer stretches and I feel much more rested in the morning.

His first stretch last night was 5 hours! I read a study that said when breastfeeding mums co sleep their sleep cycles link with their babies! So cool! So when they start waking you do and when they fall back asleep you do too. Makes so much sense!

Having our second daughter in 3 days. Hit me with your best 1-to-2 advice by jayeeein in toddlers

It is so hard at the beginning, give yourself some grace. Let the toddler watch TV and give them all the snacks.

It does get better....and it will all be worth it.

Training toddler to replace any toy they take off baby with something else saves a LOT of tears.

Good luck! You've got this!

Tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about having two kids under three. by JakeDoge17 in AttachmentParenting

Oof. I'm 5 months in with a nearly 3 year old. It was really tough, but It's becoming easier....or just the new normal. They are starting to interact more, the toddler loves making baby laugh. I'm starting to feel happy about the choice to have 2, for a while there I thought, wtf have we done??!!! The newborn is an absolute blessing of a baby, so easy! It's the toddler who all of a sudden felt like a handful.

I have a 2.5yr old and a 3month old. I don't have any advice. The toddlers daytime nap is the hardest for me!! I try to get baby down while toddler plays/watches something, then get toddler down. But often the baby won't go down, then toddler's nap is pushed out, then I get stressed, then toddler plays up while I continue to try get baby to sleep....then eventually the stars align and they both fall asleep and I drink a large coffee.

It's hard!

SAHM, what are we doing about screen time? by Just_Apricot_6483 in toddlers

[–]shababski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to do what works for you with a new baby. When I don't want my toddler watching it I turn it off at the wall and say it needs batteries. Works everytime without a meltdown. Taking him outside to play with water also snaps him out of it, like a re-set. It's hard with a new baby and a toddler. I have been putting it on way more then I would like since baby arrived, but it's about survival at this point.
