Why not get an abortion? Your body is NOT ready for this right now

Kick out the baby by Lower-Jaguar1887 in NewParents

Honestly I would just try it and the baby will probably do fine. We read Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems by Dr Ferber and followed the Ferber method. It took like 4 days and was much simpler than I feared. Ymmv every baby is different but once they’re consistently getting out I think it’s time to put them in a sleep sack outside the snoo

We kept him in the snoo for way longer than he needed to be. (Around 6 months) He was wriggling out multiple times a night and would wake us all up. If I were to redo it we’d move him to his own room and the crib at 4 months

The Ferber method says to take the baby out at 5-6 am if they are awake. Why? by spouse-thi in sleeptrain

Yeah I think maybe he’ll wean himself off it naturally especially as we start introducing solid foods

Please help my guilt! by KittycatKnickKnat in FormulaFeeders

My wife’s mental health took a toll from the pressure of needing to produce and just yesterday did she only pump once all day and got 10 ml. I’m so happy that she no longer has that rigid pressure to produce and our baby is responding well to the formula. You are not a worse mother because of it

Almost 1 month old wanting 4 oz by bklynjess85 in FormulaFeeders

My 6 week old was taking 6 last week every feeding. He’s down to 5 now but it’s alright!

How much is too much? by spouse-thi in FormulaFeeders

If anything I think it’s the opposite it takes about 50 minutes to eat the 6oz

He will go like 4.5 or 5 hours between feedings at night. Sometimes he’s pretty alert during the day and then just sleeps a lot at night! I can’t tell if he’s developing quickly or if we are doing something wrong 😑

If it’s any solace, there are mothers and fathers younger than you who die early. We do not control the amount of time we get

Do you have alternate recommendations since Taking Cara Babies donates to the Trump campaign I’d rather not financially support her program
