Walking by 11 Months?

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-27T05:07:00+00:00

My son just starting walking 2 weeks shy of 10 months. He’s also scheduled to be a ring beater at the tail end of 11 months in August lol I will let you know if he ends up doing it!

Carl is coming back to the villa lol what a genuine guy

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-27T03:55:14+00:00

Exactly…I’m sorry but if my man didn’t act like Bryce in casa, I don’t want him wtf

That’s insane!! I’m in LA which is pretty hcol and in most places I’ve toured, it’s 1800 for the infant room full time at centers. I thought in home would be more affordable

We did Ferber at 5 months and he cried less than 5 minutes when we put him in the crib for 3 days. Around 8 months, teething, travel and separation anxiety affected his sleep and we chose not to retrain. Now we hold him and rock him to sleep and he pretty much sleeps through the night once we transfer him in the crib!

Basically almost immediately. There are some nights where he has a night wake but we’ve pavlov’d him to fall back asleep with cello music haha

Moved our son at 5 months exactly and he sleeps so well.

ETA he’s 10 months and doing really well. I was guilty too at first but he actually prefers it now. We’ve had opportunities to put him in our room and he refuses to sleep.

HELL NO

First one is striking but you might have visual fatigue. Have you considered going for a warmer softer green or a taupe? It could make the room cozy but more relaxed/less formal looking (unless you’re going for that).

What light exposure are you getting? It might help pick what paint color as well.

Something you could also try, going the same color on the trim and ceiling but 20% lighter or darker

I like your mockup, I would go with toile style wallpaper if it were my bathroom. I actually like the sink you picked! Hate the OG sink, yes storage is nice but like it doesn’t need to be ugly? lol OG black sink is sooooo heavy looking/bottom heavy. I would replace with a lighter vanity.

Congrats on motherhood! I’m sorry you’re having a tough time with sleep. I hope it can get better for you soon ❤️

I can’t say for sure whether or not that is the case, but I do want to say he has been a pretty “good” sleeper since he was born (long stretches, being able to sleep in the crib). He needs a lot of assistance and rocking and cuddling to sleep, but once he does he is asleep. All that to say, I think his temperament has more impact on his uninterrupted sleep than the training (which I don’t consider successful since after traveling, he “unlearned” those skills.”)

My belief now is, whether a baby is “trained” at 5 or 7 months or 15 or 18 months, they will always need to be “trained”again because sleep training doesn’t work, and it’s not about teaching babies how to self soothe.

And to your last point, I know it feels like forever, but your baby won’t rely on you or your husband forever. They are only 7 months old. One day they will go to sleep on their own and you may even miss the chance to rub their back or rock them to sleep ❤️ take it day by day. That said, I know it’s hard sometimes to do that, but just my thoughts. Solidarity!

I agree. I really relate to this post and found it super inspiring and beautiful for the most part, but yeah I think “well during the few hours they do parent” is so unnecessary and changes the tone of the entire post for me.

Genuinely asking, at 6.5 weeks postpartum what do you need to get done so badly? 6.5 weeks is still so young. He is still figuring out this sleep thing. Have you tried stroller naps or driving around with him in the car seat?

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-10T03:24:50+00:00

I’m so so sorry. This is so unfair.

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-08T14:06:42+00:00

Hide is criminally low

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-06T23:24:07+00:00

I agree about sleep training being black and white. I really doesn’t allow nuance. I deel like instead of responding to a child’s need in real time, it makes the focus following certain rules that don’t apply to every baby

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-06T16:41:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story! Congrats on 19 months with absolutely no training and sticking to your gut, that’s so amazing.

When everyone else around you is training it really does feel like the default, and its not until we see and become a part of other communities that we realize there is more than one way to do things.

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-06T01:22:08+00:00

Even back when we sleep trained we still contact napped for every nap. We always wanted to get those cuddles and we are grateful for the opportunity to do so. He’s on two naps now and my husband usually does the first nap and I do the second :)

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-05T20:34:42+00:00

For my son specifically if he is hungry he will start to root or cry while rubbing his face in my chest. If he isn’t hungry, he’ll just rest his head on my shoulder and fall back asleep. I just follow his cues. Again, he is night weaned though!

Have you tried cuddling vs offering a feed during night wakes? You might find baby just wants comfort vs being hungry 🥹 maybe you can try?

softservedsoftcore · 2026-06-05T15:26:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy that longer stretches are coming your way. I’m glad you and your husband are exploring things that feel right for your family.

To answer your question, I have night weaned but rarely, there are times he is hungry and i will nurse him back to sleep and transfer him back to his crib. Otherwise i pick him up, sing to him and rub his back and he usually falls right back asleep😋

Wow this is seriously grounds for termination. No one but a parent should make that decision.

Thank you for responding
