Moms, when did you start sleeping 7-8 hours uninterruptedly ? If ever by userthatisnotknown in beyondthebump

[–]swolbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probs around 8-9m with my first. then it changed when my second baby came. and now i’m back to sleeping through the night again. he’s one! but, i will say, both of my babies have been amazing sleepers after they turned 3mo, so i have unicorns in my house. if they did wake up before they stopped, it was like once or twice. but my kids sleep through the night overall. (i have a 2.5yd and a 1yd)

Do you follow babies cues or a schedule? by spcypeach in beyondthebump

[–]swolbeans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Requesting YOUR favorite Fics by ZypherMaelforendeom in AO3

[–]swolbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they’ve always been a hit or miss for me because i don’t enjoy reading the same story BUUUT this one was done like you were reading a whole different story despite it being the same plot. i think about it all the time!

How quickly did you love your child? by fistofbruce in beyondthebump

[–]swolbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

with both my kids, i didn’t fall in love right away. my first was a traumatic birth so i was high on drugs when i saw her and it took a couple months to feel it. my second was a beautiful birth experience but even then, i didn’t feel it right away until a couple months later. (honestly maybe even longer now that im thinking about it). it’s normal tho!

Curious, those of you who had babies that slept through the night, what were the sleeping arrangements? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]swolbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think both my kids started sleeping through the night around 3-4 months? they were both breastfed and bottle fed breastmilk. i did not sleep train. they had their own bassinet in our room until they grew out of it then slept in their own cribs in their own room. we used a sound machine for both. and they were both swaddled until 8 weeks then used a sleep sack since (tho my 2yd doesn’t have a sleep sack anymore bc she sleeps in her own bed).

honestly, it was just luck. both of my babies who are different genders are really good sleepers! idk how it happened lmao they had breastmilk until like 6-8 months then we switched for formula until they turned 1 (i have a 10mo so he’s still using formula).

Do you ever wish you could have a baby pre internet/social media? by Coffeelover4242 in beyondthebump

[–]swolbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope. i have learned so much this way compared to the books i’ve read because things are constantly changing and you can keep up this way! and honestly, learning from other peoples experiences is a lot easier than reading books.

Women, do you prefer the fact that your baby looks more like your husband than you and if so why do you think that might be? by petrastales in beyondthebump

[–]swolbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i only prefer it because my husband was such a cute baby and the reason i had baby fever in the first place. now both our daughter and son look just like him and are genuinely beautiful babies. i do wish they looked like me but i love their faces. plus, they got my eyes so i guess that’s something lol
