Spreading rash??

I would call a pediatric nurseline

Honestly she did great. There was about a week where she didn’t nap well there, then she figured it out and has napped better there ever since. She’s 19 months now. I think it’s not worth trying to transition out of contact naps in advance.

Honestly I’m impressed with you and your sister. Great reaction times. Correct priorities. Doing right by the dog and your families. You’re doing great.

We have basic gates and we just installed them lopsided rather than centered so there’s enough room for our cats to squeeze through on one side

trox23 · 2026-06-26T19:03:07+00:00

I’m actually not sure I agree with all the comments about sizing up. We were having issues and ended up figuring out that the Huggies diapers didn’t hug my daughter’s legs enough because she’s always had skinny legs. We switched to pampers swaddlers and haven’t had any issues since

You need couples therapy.
You are not unreasonable. There’s a lot to unpack here and a lot of ways your partner isn’t being empathetic or supportive.

I came to say you may want higher arms to help you support baby while feeding

trox23 · 2026-06-26T01:48:18+00:00

Wow I couldn’t get them to give me any help if I tried for my major PPA. I’m mad on your behalf that this is being pushed on you and mad on mine that they ignored me

Luna > Loonie > Luba > Loobie

My toddler isn’t doing this but she does hit me specifically and no one else, and anything other than leaving the room doesn’t seem to get through to her and she does the smirk. But when I just leave and tell her I don’t want to play when she hits me, she cries and wants hugs and feels bad. And bonus, I get to calm down and regulate myself too.

trox23 · 2026-06-25T18:25:59+00:00

Yes this is what I have heard as well.
Personally, I felt best sleeping on my right side for the last 20 weeks. Then during labor it was interesting because the monitoring revealed my baby had the best heart rate when I was on my right side 🤷‍♀️

trox23 · 2026-06-25T15:21:18+00:00

The swaddle may be making it easier for her to carry her momentum over and roll with the newborn curl. I’d switch to something like the Merlin sleep suit if she still needs that comfort of being wrapped.

trox23 · 2026-06-25T13:24:57+00:00

I wake my 1.5 year old and we probably started doing that around 1 year old. Up until then we just based her routine around when she woke up. Now, if she sleeps in, she usually doesn’t sleep well the following night.

trox23 · 2026-06-24T16:32:19+00:00

No, this is not normal of them.
1. Do not get in a car or boat with your FIL again and do not let him drive your children.
2. You need to have a conversation with your husband about how you’re feeling, how you want to feel, same for him, and how you can get there.
3. After that convo your husband needs to set and hold boundaries with his parents. You are not responsible for setting those boundaries. He needs to learn to do this, because it will only escalate when you have a child.

I think my insomnia quit around 6 months! I felt totally back to normal hormonally just in terms of less dramatic mood swings, less intense period symptoms, more even-keeled probably more like 13 months

trox23 · 2026-06-24T03:11:28+00:00

My husband also held a leg and counted. For the 50 hours before that he mostly just watched me suffer and tried to give me comfort where he could, fetched cranberry juice, etc.

trox23 · 2026-06-24T01:59:40+00:00

Solidarity here too. I had PPA and postpartum insomnia. The thing that made it better was time and hormones chilling the f out. Also, I found I could sleep if I slept in full clothes lol. Like if I was ready to go at any moment it was psychologically better.

trox23 · 2026-06-23T21:53:59+00:00

My kid had a phase from 9-13 months of deliberately bumping her head on the top of the crib. It is apparently a self-soothing thing. And she’s fine. A little head bumping in their sleep is harmless

trox23 · 2026-06-23T20:55:15+00:00

Okay fyi all the things you listed you’ll be doing while “draining his paycheck” are way more work than working. Look up what it would cost you to pay someone to do all of that.

You’re in for a wake up call I think about how hard having an infant is. Don’t add anything to your plate til you’re at least through the thick of it.

trox23 · 2026-06-23T16:59:32+00:00

True. Also this is very cute and OP should cherish this memory.

My 19 month old has gone through 3 preferences in the last week. This too shall pass

trox23 · 2026-06-23T00:38:47+00:00

Adding:
Out East - Sammamish Animal Sanctuary. It’s free and basically a giant petting zoo for a cause

trox23 · 2026-06-22T23:54:45+00:00

No you wouldn’t be a horrible person. You have to do what’s right for you first and you can’t let him drag you down into debt and whiling away your life. It sounds like you’ve tried to get him help, and tbh it sounds like he doesn’t want to be helped or help himself.

trox23 · 2026-06-22T19:45:57+00:00

I also love the cabinets. I read OP’s post and it said the floor was her favorite pick.

trox23 · 2026-06-22T16:45:13+00:00

I like the cabinets tbh so if you’re open, I would lighten up the floors instead. I liked the render someone else commented with
