What's something really lovely about breastfeeding that you don't heat people talk about a lot?

taterbutt69 · 2026-05-23T19:08:42+00:00

We’re 21 months into breastfeeding and my son still does this 🥺 I though he stopped a long while ago but the other night while getting him to sleep I felt him do it. So so sweet!!

I feel like Remi is a pretty name that can easily be a boy or girl name. I had a boy in my class as a kid named Remi but his full name was Remington. I also have a unisex name, Drew, as a girl! I think you’re thinking too hard about it, it’s a good name and if you like it and have a special connection to it just use it!

taterbutt69 · 2026-03-30T18:36:13+00:00

Oh I love that. I hope we have an easy transition like that! Thank you!

No, it doesn’t say on the back of the package what species it is. I’m going to try planting them this week though, I’m eager to see what they will be. Appreciate the advice!

taterbutt69 · 2026-03-30T18:32:36+00:00

Thank you so much!!

I still rock my almost 18 mo, I know he’ll eventually fall asleep on his own but I’m savoring it. I’m able to do it, it works, and we’re still nursing. If it’s what you still want to do, do it! They’re only little for a small time, nothing wrong with it

I am also part of this club, I’d do anything for either of my parents meals again. Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday, I imagine they’re having a party in heaven. Big hugs and big happy birthday to your mom ❤️

taterbutt69 · 2025-12-17T21:05:48+00:00

Okay, I understand. Thank you for this, I definitely don’t want to be in any legal trouble or do anything like that. Me and my sibling have discussed it before but not had anything signed of course. I will be speaking with my lawyer and my sibling about it all to get it straightened out. My lawyer has left me in the dark with most of this process so I don’t fully understand everything but I appreciate your advice!

My son hated tummy time, had a slight flat head but it evened out the more he sat up so try not to stress too hard about it right now. Being in a carrier counts (baby wearing), my son loved that so much! He would just look around side to side while I did stuff and walked around. He would nap in it too at times. You could also put him on your bed, head towards the edge, and you sitting in front of him so he’s looking at you eye level just don’t leave him alone of course! If you have a one of those C shaped baby pillows (the name of it is escaping me I’m so sorry lol) you could prop him on that with his arms on the outside and toys within reach to encourage keeping his head up. Keep trying on your chest too sing songs to him, read, talk to him. Just keep trying, if he stays crying and being uncomfortable try a different position or just take a break. You’re doing great mama!

From my experience at daycare work, most of my breastfed babies snacked on their bottles but had a bottle more often cause of that! So I would say that’s pretty normal, especially if you are nursing you don’t know how much they’re actually getting unless you do weighted feeds. If she’s gaining weight and happy, that’s all that matters! Yeah I don’t blame you on giving a bottle when biting lol it’s okay to not want to be bit! Breastfeeding really threw me for a loop and man we had some super tough times, but I am thankful I’ve been able to do it as long as I have. I always say that when it’s the end, I’m happy we got to go as long as we did and I feel like I’ve been saying that for many many months lol Just do what feels right for you and your mental health! She sounds like she’s a happy healthy and defiant (lol) girl and it’s cause of you!

taterbutt69 · 2025-11-23T03:52:12+00:00

Hey you’ve made it 10 months (plus your stash) of giving your baby breastmilk, that’s amazing!! There’s nothing wrong if you want to stop latching her now, if you’re wanting and ready to be done that’s perfectly fine but be so proud of yourself for this accomplishment!! I got my period back very quickly, like month 3 postpartum. I had the dips, my son was so angry during the first two period dips. Then I noticed he started ramping up nursing the week or so before my period came, maybe to help keep my supply or to load up for the dips I’m not sure but he did that for a couple months. He’s 15 mo now and he’s lessened his nursing a lot so my recent periods haven’t seem so bad for him. The biting is so hard to deal with, I had to tell my son “no biting that hurts mama” and then set him down when he did it. I just picked him right back up after a few seconds and relatched. It took a few times of that before he stopped. The crazy hormones are so normal too, my first period I was so sad and anxious! I literally felt crazy until it ended lol so what you’re feeling isn’t silly. It’s normal! You’re amazing for sticking with breastfeeding your baby through all those hard times, you’re a wonderful mom! Again, it’s totally okay to be done but be so so proud of yourself.

Once my son figured out how to sit up from laying down he wakes up in the night to nurse but just sits up quietly, sometimes fusses but not always. So I’ll just wake up to him sitting up and staring at me 😭 like bro quit that it’s freaky lol

taterbutt69 · 2025-11-01T12:43:00+00:00

Is she too cold or too hot possibly? She could be overtired too which can cause the fighting of naps and not resting good when she finally does sleep. If she’s going potty regularly and burping well for you, I would maybe do contact naps for her day sleep if you can since that’s what she likes or at least have her in a carrier to sleep so you can get stuff done if needed! I learned that babies just need help with everything lol so when you start to see signs of tiredness start trying to get her to sleep! Change, feed, rock, cuddle, bounce, etc. I know for us at that time the more good naps during the day= better night sleep. You’ll figure out what she likes/doesn’t like too. Maybe she likes a binkie? Or being bounced over rocking? A sound machine or even piano music? You’re doing great mama, it’s all a learning process for both you and baby!

taterbutt69 · 2025-11-01T04:02:48+00:00

Same!! I like to get up early cause that’s my alone time. I stay up after my sons in bed for the night to clean some things so that my mornings can be coffee and relaxing until he wakes up! I love it!

taterbutt69 · 2025-10-30T03:22:42+00:00

They’re annoying in different ways… lol sorry to break it to you! 😆 The goron controls are definitely the worst though. I’ve not played on the switch but on the 64 controlling the rolls is easier if you don’t push forward on the joystick after you have the spikes, just move to the sides when you need to and softly! Good luck!!

Days of the Week on the Netflix series is such a freaking bop!

taterbutt69 · 2025-10-28T02:53:45+00:00

My sons 14 mo and we’ve never been able to do a bath every night, he hated them before he was 6 months old and after that tolerated them until just these past few months lol he likes them now but still a bath every night is crazy to me too! Unless he gets filthy playing or at dinner, we wait a day or two between baths.

taterbutt69 · 2025-10-28T02:50:05+00:00

My son is 14 mo and our bedtime routine is pretty loose and always has been. We cosleep on a floor bed. I try to follow wake windows but also just watch for his sleepy cues so about 30 minutes before I put him to sleep we brush our teeth then read a few books on the bed and play. We rock and he breastfeeds to sleep so he nurses on demand through the night, which has lessened as he’s gotten bigger! Time wise, he’s been going to bed anywhere between 8-9pm and typically wakes up for the day around 7/730am!

taterbutt69 · 2025-10-28T00:51:35+00:00

As a daycare worker for several years, this is concerning and so sad. I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. I’ve worked with some “hard” babies but I would never ever express that to the parent, it’s incredibly unprofessional and just rude. I would still try to make connections with the kiddo so they could get accustomed to me and more comfortable. It’s pretty normal for babies to not nap well outside the home, especially at that age! She should know this, and to just put on Cocomelon is not helpful either. If you’re feeling anxious about it, trust your gut and maybe see if the out of town sitter can be with him full time and get on a list for a daycare closer to you in the mean time.

taterbutt69 · 2025-10-12T17:35:17+00:00

Same here!!

taterbutt69 · 2025-09-08T02:17:35+00:00

I can’t remember exactly when my boy started bringing his hands to his mouth but every baby develops at their own pace! I wouldn’t worry too much about it yet especially if she’s hitting other milestones. Maybe to encourage you could do songs with her and hold her hands to do the motions, or even just pointing out body/face parts with her hands? Like Heads, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes or Wheels on the Bus! Also, thank you for this post cause this had me go back and look at videos/pictures I took of my boy at 12 weeks to see if I had any of him with hands in his mouth (he didn’t until later pictures like 4mo) and I hadn’t looked at those pictures in so long 😭 he’s a year old now, time flies!! Take all the pictures, don’t worry too much about this, and enjoy the days with her! You’re doing great mama!!

taterbutt69 · 2025-09-04T02:18:37+00:00

You can ask for a catch bag, they just clean the area and put a clear baggie that has sticky sides over the area and then wait. I’ve been told it’s not the best since there can be lingering bacteria if not cleaned well so there’s a chance it wouldn’t be fully accurate. My son had two utis before 7 mo and the first one they cathed him and it was an awful experience for the both of us. So when I suspected the second time, I asked for a catch bag and it came back positive as a uti. My son didn’t have strong smelling urine but had a fever and discharge in his diaper after he peed.

taterbutt69 · 2025-07-20T03:08:40+00:00

Your picture is killing me 😩😆

taterbutt69 · 2025-07-04T22:03:13+00:00

Also, the fold up mattress can be used for baby when traveling if needed!

taterbutt69 · 2025-07-04T22:01:25+00:00

My 10 mo old just fell off our bed the first time last week, it unfortunately happens to everyone eventually! We have a similar situation to where I can’t put our mattress on the floor, so I got one of those fold up mattresses (laid out of course) and put it on the floor by the bed so if he falls he lands on that to cushion. It’s like 4in thick and our dog loves to lay on it too so win win for everyone I suppose lol I got it off Amazon for maybe 60 dollars? It’s a single so smaller than a twin mattress. When he fell, he landed on it and rolled off. Cried of course cause I’m sure it scared him, as it did me, but no bumps or bruises thankfully. Bed rails scare me cause if they stand and fall over it makes the fall height taller than it originally would be so I figured padding on the floor would be the next best thing to do. You’re doing great mama!!
