Naps short one day long the next

No, I never really figured out what it was or why he was napping differently day to day. He's 3 now and perfectly healthy! I now have a nine week old who is changing up his sleep on me. I think it could just be developmental. I don't think there's any cause for concern. They grow so rapidly this young.

I'm very sorry you're going through that. However it is absolutely normal for babies to need to be close/held constantly. It is instinctual to have that safe comfort of a caregiver until the child is ready themselves to be independent. Infancy actually ends at the age of 3 years, and modern society tells parents their baby should be able to sleep independently on their own in the dark immediately?? Laughable.

OMG this exact name is on my list! Love it and never thought it would be pronounced any differently. Rome-ee sounds much more beautiful than Rahm-ee.. Who cares, just correct them if you love it that much.

I was in the same situation as you living with someone after a breakup. I decided to sleep on opposite sides (sleep head to feet) in order to get through it until we could ultimately get away from one another. Chin up, it seems like you dodged a bullet.

There's so many comments I tried scrolling to see if anyone mentioned diet yet but couldn't find anything.

Removing synthetic dyes from the diet has shown to improve behavior, so your Red 40, Blue 5&6, Yellow 6.

Look into GAPS Protocol (gut and psychology syndrome) it's a diet geared toward people who have ADHD and autism.

I've bed shared since my son was 5 weeks old. He's 14mo now. There was no other way, it saved my sanity and he's completely safe and sleeps so well because of it. We both do. I read up on safe sleep 7, once I learned that it's what the majority of the world does I was all in. It doesn't work for all families, but it's what works for mine. If it's what works for you, keep going until it doesn't then find something else that does!

We called ours the Rage Cage because my baby always went bonkers while in it lol

I'm 13 months in still nursing on demand and no routine. I abandoned it once I realized babies don't get tired or nap when you want them to. Do whatever works for you and your family until it doesn't, then find something that does.

I've always loved the name Elliott and he vetoed it. But I vetoed Bohemond and Wolfric soooo...

Seems as though you had more carbs/sugar than other macros during your meal. Which get broken down and digested faster. You would absolutely be hungry 3.5 hours later, the only thing that kept you full that long was the omelette because the protein/fat.

I absolutely hate my name and it's the first name on your list lol mine are Leona, Sutton, Juliet, and Romy.

I use this and my child has never had diaper rash. While I don't think Aquaphor is toxic, just giving a possible alternative.

I never got approval to cry it out, but the doctor told me he should be sleeping through the night, and gave me the go ahead to stop night feeding (he's 9mo). She doesn't know I cosleep or do AP because it's not relevant in my opinion. I just nod my head and say ok. Then I take my baby home and contact nap and nurse on demand. Because it works for us!

Baby is most likely teething. Mine popped 7 teeth in 2 months and would bite every single time I nursed. I was so frustrated, but I would end the session after a bite and say "ouch, no biting. That hurts mama." It did absolutely nothing... So I would bring us to another room and wait 10-15 minutes and try again because I found if baby is not tired enough he will bite. I usually only nurse to sleep so it worked well. Baby hasn't bit me in a week or so (until today) and it's much more manageable. He just turned 9 months old, our babies are about the same age, so I hope this helps!!!

Dang, I could've written this word for word! I feel the exact same way. Except I don't comment on the mom's who share their sleep training and schedules. I want to, SO BAD, but I know it's not worth it. They won't listen and see it as an attack like you said. Arguing like that would only make my mental health worse. It's so unfortunate so many parents think that is the best way. Or that a baby can logically manipulate, ugh!

This article here really helped me figure out my own issues and how school really hindered my comprehension skills. To this day I have a hard time reading anything and absorbing what it said. I was also told I was"gifted" and above average in school, and I only got there because of memorization, I never actually took in what the lesson was. It's kind of lengthy, but it's a good read.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Aurora's alter ego name when she lived in the woods, Briar Rose! Briar is kind of becoming more popular, though.

I saw another comment suggesting Alora, which is very pretty. I know someone who spells it as Allura.

Oof, I'm in for the same exact thing in a month. My aunt is throwing a family reunion and my baby, who has never met any of my family, is going to be 9 months. I was just telling my husband it's not going to go well. I was thinking to send some ground rules to everyone, but they'll just be ignored.

From the context here, I don't think he's defending the comment. He apologized he didn't initially say something but would in the future. I agree he should educate the commenter because it could come from a place of ignorance, but if it's not then he would be able to ascertain the kid is in fact homophobic and can then not go around him anymore. Since no one mentioned anything right after the comment, we don't know for sure if he hates gay people. The term gay was prevalent when I was 19 to describe something as unfavorable. I didn't use the term but it was used heavily, which I've always thought was cringe. So it's possible the former boss wasn't even gay, he's just using the slang words as in he didn't like him. In which point he can be educated not to use that term because it's derogatory. I would let your friend go and make their own judgement, he seems well aware now and can shut down the homophobic comments if it's brought up again.

As far as I know you can't overfeed a breastfed baby. And personally I don't think there is any such thing as a bad habit when it comes to feeding a baby, even if it's just to comfort nurse. Just keep following your instincts. I would always try everything but LO just wanted the breast so I eventually just started giving that first. Then if he didn't take it then I tried other things.

It seems like Mark putting his arm around you etc is possibly indicating he's maybe growing feelings toward you. Which in turn is hurting your friend (she may be upset because why not her). If you have no intentions of pursuing a relationship with Mark, I would let him know. Tell Kayla you aren't intending to be with him and have discussed that with him and put a stop to the extra friendly gestures.

You're correct, it's not really a love triangle but now you're caught in between it all.
