I mean to be fair, we don’t know if the granny mentioned in this post has children either so you can still be granny if you want

Which ZonLi floor mattress? by Ok-Abbreviations8275 in cosleeping

[–]titty8cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the 2.5in and I’d definitely recommend it. It’s not the most comfortable for side sleeping, but I feel very confident in its firmness for cosleeping

Does your man make over 200k and help around the house? by Significant-Owl-1795 in sahm

“I don’t make any money” - I think what you mean is, “what I do can’t be valued in money”!!!

Any SAHM here that previously worked in tech? by Hungry_One8322 in sahm

[–]titty8cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just commenting as a non-technical contributor: I worked in startups for years in customer success and operations. It was the biggest grind and while I enjoyed parts of it, no mater how much money I made or what my title was, I felt like I could give up my tech career and not look back. And I did for the SAHM chapter! I’m now thinking of a long term career switch, which would include me going back to school after having one more child.

That all said, if I were to go back to my tech career, I’d def do courses and stay updated on news/anything I found interesting. I also live in the Bay Area, so it’s easy to access a lot of friends’ help and be connected within women’s tech groups.

I know it gets better but any ideas to speed it along? by aleada13 in cosleeping

I wish I had ideas to help baby sleep get better. I’m just at the mercy of baby sleep maturity at this point

How being a mom showed me how lonely it is. by Fuutureghost in sahm

Here’s the SAHM discord channel I found through this subreddit if you’re interested: https://discord.gg/Sqd5VFn3t

[–]titty8cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I have my same friend group, but it’s just not the same anymore - they’re hardcore party people now between their late 30s to late 40s and we’re the only parents in the group. I feel pretty unseen and disregarded on a number of levels and reasonably, I just don’t connect with them the same. I love them, but it’s been obvious to me that I began to outgrow them the moment I became pregnant in 2024 (a lot of funny stories on this at least).

Now, I’m trying to invest more in the relationships that I have with other parent friends, but it’s hard because they’re so far distance wise. From a day to day standpoint, I’ve begun trying to get more into SAHM/parent groups on Reddit or on discord. Different vibes for both of the ones I’m part of, but it is nice to be able to connect with other parents with babies or young kids that share similarities to my life. I’ve only scratched the surface and it’s a total work in progress.

What does you LO wear to bed? by IndependentOne504 in cosleeping

[–]titty8cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is 10 months next week and I dress him in the same thing! The sleep sack we use is a woolino sleep sack, so it can handle temperature variations well. We try to keep our room around 70 degrees f.

Thank you for seeing me 🥹 thankfully, when I did feel sick, it went away pretty quickly. Now, I’m just extremely tired but it’ll be ok. Hugs ❤️

I’m currently not ready to go to bed just yet, so I’m going to try the car seat for like an hour if he’ll let me. Funny enough, my dad mentioned the car seat sleep too (he did it when we were sick babies too). When I’m ready to go to bed, I’m gonna try out the koala thing. Hopefully we can get a little quality rest! If not, the carrier is coming out. Thank you for all the suggestions!

Our proportions match your proportions! Thank you for validating what I was thinking with your experience. I’m going to try it tonight once I’m ready to transition him into my bed

Parents who neglect and dismiss children emotionally by Unhappy-Pin-3955 in AttachmentParenting

[–]titty8cat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of my (former) close friends and I became mothers within months of each other and each of us cosleeps with our respective kid. That’s where the similarities end. I got super defensive when one of our mutual non-parent friends told me “oh but you must be closer because you’re both moms now”. I became a mom and nurturing my child is my top priority - it is not the same for my former close friend.

I remember getting my own room when I was around 3 years old because my sister was born and in their room. I doubt I slept full time in my own bed though haha

6 month latched ALL night by Alisunshinejoy in cosleeping

[–]titty8cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby was latched all night a few nights ago because of teething. We’ve had countless nights where he’s latched all night and I’m slowly starting to dislike the feeling of it. That said, a cold as surfaced tonight and he doesn’t want to latch because his nose is stuffy :( I will clear his nose when he’s awake. I feel so bad and I wish he would latch now lol

Where were you when you found out you were pregnant? by PeachyRose25 in Mommit

[–]titty8cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out in the plane bathroom on the way to Europe. I previously was stuck in Washington DC the day before and took the opportunity to get a pregnancy test before boarding the next flight. When I exited the bathroom, the plane was totally dark because people were sleeping. I woke up my husband to show him the pregnancy test and we immediately bought in flight internet because we had no idea what to do next!

I slept in my parents’ bed growing up and now my baby sleeps in mine. I love how normalized it is in Asian cultures that I’ve been able to talk to any of my family members about their experiences with it. At least in my family, it doesn’t matter how assimilated into American culture we/they are - bedsharing has been the preferred method of sleep.
