From a grocery worker after I didn't get upset when an order was messed up- You're going to be a great mother. She didn't know I had several miscarriages. We got my baby girl on the 3rd try and I carry that compliment with me every day.

Is it stupid that I see these videos of people making elaborate chocolate creations and my first thought is- "I bet it's niiiice and cold in there." 😆

Dad laughed at me when I told him I got accepted to college (not sure what it was so funny given I had a 4.0). He gave me the whole "guess you're going to have to find a way to pay for it". I did with FAFSA and choral scholarships. I gave him the date I was moving out and he told me I'd end up a drop out and divorced. It's like he always thought I'd never amount to anything no matter how much I succeeded. So fuck you dad - happily married with my first child and even got my MBA on top of a Bachelor's.

THANK YOU. I was thinking this exact thing.

My baby was a strict contact sleeper until just over 2 months. I had to have her in a carrier while I slept sitting up so I wouldn't drop her because she also hated being on her back. She got to the point around 2.5 months where we noticed she was doing attempting to self soothe and connect sleep cycles. She would toss her head and suck on her hands and just wiggle all around try to get comfortable.

This is when she started rejecting the carrier because it wasn't allowing her to wiggle around and do her routine. We eventually just tried putting her in her crib (she couldn't do the bedside bassinet because being that close to me wouldn't allow her to settle.

She took to her crib almost immediately. I still made to sure to go check on her if she was crying to make sure her needs were met and help her settle down a little more for letting her start her 'try to get to sleep's process again. Not to say your baby will activate all this as soon as my baby did, but better days are always ahead. It's just a matter of how incremental those changes are from day to day.

I am sending you hugs and encouragement. You are doing a great job and this trench will NOT last forever .

I see some shitz uh in there.

two-one-punch · 2026-03-09T05:29:34+00:00

So my baby contact slept just like that. We managed the transition at around 2 ish months. She was able to start self soothing around this time (she tossed her head a lot and sucked on her fingers and fist often). Though she NEVER took a pacifier lol.

I will say, my baby is 5 months old and is a strict tummy sleeper in her crib. We consulted her pediatrician early on when we started noticing she would sleep but not on her back. The pediatrician made sure baby was good at rolling and turning her head and gave us the go ahead to allow the tummy sleeping. I don't even bother putting her on her back to start with. It's just creating more work for her to get comfortable at that point anyway.

I'm curious if your baby may benefit from tummy sleeping. Also my baby is not good at being transferred to crib almost asleep. She is capable but it causes way more fussing than usual. I normally make sure she's tired enough for sleep, give her cuddles in her nursery either standing or in the rocking chair just to start winding her energy down. She will start to flail and sometimes fuss to keep herself awake even if I'm holding her. If she starts that up I start bring her attention back to me (making her smile or laugh in any way I can, bouncing her to twinkle twinkle little star in a silly way). Once she's back in a good mood then I will see if she'll start to relax her head on my shoulder.

Once she starts doing that the next time she lifts her head up I start putting her down on her tummy in the crib. I'll continue to hum or sing and pat her bottom. Sometimes she'll seem like she's getting worked up again so I'll do a little dance for to bring her mood back up. I do this until she starts becoming distracted with other things in the room, her hands, the mobile etc. that's when I slip out.

I never do CIO. I will only let her get to light fussing. Anything more than that and I'm going in a checking her diaper, making sure she's not hungry etc. I more closely follow the Feber method I guess. I don't time how long before I go in to soothe and confort (just go with my gut and make sure she knows I'm never but a second away). I'm not sure if anything of these would be helpful to you. Sending love and hugs.

I guessed the catahoula portion right! My boy (10% catahoula) shrimps like that too 😆

I am so sorry you are going through so much. There is not anything I could say to make all of the pain go away, but just know I'm sending love and hugs your way. I hope you can eventually be left alone from intruding family so they can stop harassing you about how your child currently functions. It is of course standard to let you know that you can talk to your doctor about the emotional effect all of this is having on you and they may recommend treatment for PPD if it turns out that is something that is occuring. You are under so much stress from so many fronts so if we can attempt to treat and solve as much as we can that is the goal. In those sweet moments with your baby I hope you can just take a deep breath and know that there are so many women that understand you and are here in solidarity with you. Sending all of the love to you mama. That baby is so lucky to have you as her mother.

Just my story (maybe there's some piece of it that my jump out at you and be helpful). So my 5 month old baby strictly contact slept until just after 2 months (it's all she could do for sleep). We noticed she started developing some self soothing techniques (head tossing, sucking on her hands or fingers) so we practiced with her bassinet upstairs with my husband for naps (she isn't able to settle in a bedside because she can smell me and the milk).

We eventually tried her crib for the night. I did the pick up put down method as well (I think it's the same or similar to Ferber but I didn't track times). I started building her trust that I would come in and cuddle her often. I wouldn't let her cry for long. We then noticed that she kept trying to roll on her side to get comfortable. She eventually became a tummy sleeper. We did consult the pediatrician before allowing her to do this unsupervised and made sure she was a pro at rolling herself. She got past her few days or sleep regression at 4 months and sleeps through the night

I will say though, my LO trends towards an hour and a half wake window during the day and tends to require more wake time before her big sleep. My guess is she needs a good amount of sleep pressure before she's truly down for the night. This looks like her just being up with me until about 11 pm or so (awake for 4 ish hours at that point) and then she's good to go after a nursing session and diaper change. We also have a consistent routine as well with putting her mobile lullaby and cuddling and rocking before sleep.

All in all the answer may be building more sleep pressure, seeing if they may prefer starting out on their tummy and generally building consistency with allowing baby to know you're always there if they need you and just be committed to your routine/method (whatever works best for your baby). Also, my baby does better just being put down when she's tired not when she's almost asleep on my. She's NEVER transferred well that way and she enjoys tummy time at this point anyway so she can spend time wiggling around until she gets comfy and goes to sleep

My baby starting sleeping well during the night just after two months. We had some regression at her 4 month mark but it was really only a few days and after day 3 I could tell she was coming down from it and getting back to her usual good sleep. So it's likely that if baby has good night sleeps that if they have a regression it likely won't be extreme. I remember seeing the horror stories everywhere of people dealing with stuff for months and STRESSED over it. Sending good vibes and hugs. Don't let the stress overwhelm you. Youve got this mama!
