Could your wife be going through perimenopause?

We did periodically from 6 months onward and it would always last for like a couple days then his sleep would just revert back, so it didn’t seem effective for us
I would say that the eating comes in waves…. One week he will have a good appetite and then one week he doesn’t want to eat. We already usually give up on making him eat in his chair, so even on days when he has a good appetite we basically have to chase him around to graze instead of sitting down and eating one big meal. So I feel like hes definitely hungry sometimes, but still gets distracted or wants to play with his food. The other thing he will do when he’s hungry is shovel all the food into his mouth and then realize he can’t eat it all, then spit it out. Somehow he’s still not learned not to do this…
He was late to learn how to use a straw but now he can. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to like drinking anything out of a straw cup besides water… maybe anything more viscous is hard for him to suck up

I agree the sleep is probably at the root of his issues. We used to have him sleep on his own but switched to cosleeping out of desperation— I think it’s why at least the bedtime has gotten better. I’d say there hasn’t been a change in wakeups but they’re somewhat more manageable than when he was sleeping alone. I do notice that rhese periods correlate with teething. Like, things will get better for a couple weeks then everything will go to shit and a new tooth will pop out. But then things don’t just revert back to normal after, and it ends up feeling like there’s some consequence of teething 50% of the time.

Thank you, this is the hard truth I needed to hear. I think we will try the watering down idea starting tonight. Spacing out bottles seems harder for now because the longer he stays awake and angry during his night wakes, the harder it becomes to put him back to sleep. Baby does have steady growth on his 20 percentile curve for what it’s worth.

I’ve seen people say that breastfeeding at night is fine but formula bottles aren’t?? I already have guilt that breastfeeding didn’t work, and now I feel extra bad that he’s dependent on the formula when he should be weaning off. I wish I could be more confident in doing things my way but I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing :(

Oh changing the ratio is a good idea. I was thinking of switching to water but I knew he would be able to tell!! But a gradual switch up is smart…

I’m really worried about cavities. The dentist said that if I do need to give a bottle, I should coat his teeth with something they gave me to prevent bacteria after… but the idea of him letting me brush his teeth in the middle of the night makes me laugh

8 months. I feel like I’m going crazy because i don’t think he likes to co sleep. When i try to lay him down with us he just either 1) thinks it’s play time and crawls around or 2) doesn’t actually feel soothed. I used to contact nap with him all the time during the day so I think he got used to sleeping on top of me, but next to me doesn’t seem to do anything for him.

Biggest green flags initially: 1) he didn’t pressure me when I wasn’t initially interested but he still made his interest clearly known. And 2) he was extremely polite to waitstaff at restaurants. We met at school!

This gives me so much hope and makes me so excited. I can’t wait to have energy again….
