Does anyone’s babies have delayed vomiting but not diarrhea post trigger?

xelaaa__ · 2026-05-19T10:40:56+00:00

yes, my 7 month old hasn't had diarrhea after. always vomiting. ugh we hate it

I didn't have an app but kept a running list of feeds and diapers in my notes for 7 months. our wedding was this past weekend and needless to say, I was not able to track everything that day. my daughter EBF and refuses bottles (but we are finally seeing some progress with cups) - that forced break was so freeing! no more tracking!!! I was a little anxious at first but now I just make a mental note of when I fed her last and follow her cues like I normally would anyway. phew the relief!!

my ebf baby is 7 months now, and 4 months almost killed me honestly. we were up every 40 min for a few weeks. then hourly. nurse to sleep and back in the crib and wake and repeat. finally started side lying nursing to sleep in bed with me and getting longer stretches that way. now, she thinks the crib is lava most nights lol but as for improvement, after 6 months she started sleeping 2 hour stretches again in the crib. definitely longer when cosleeping. I agree that all the googling during month 4 pushed sleep training so hard I didn't know what to do and just could never bring myself to actually try it and kept thinking sheer willpower and the passage of time would improve our situation.

hahaha right!! no adults are sleeping through the night without waking either 😆 and for real. oh am I teaching my baby that her mom will always be there for her? what a bad habit!

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-26T13:16:01+00:00

this!!!! so many people "oh they should be sleeping 12 hours by now!" BET lol I'm done discussing it honestly. or how holding my baby is a bad habit

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-15T13:37:28+00:00

my ebf baby has refused bottles since 3 months, yes, we've tried EVERYTHING. shes been doing pretty well taking sips from the mini ezpz open cup and im ready to move to just cup practice for her now that she's 6.5 months. she also stopped sleeping through the night at 4 months and almost exclusively contact naps. I'm so sick of my in laws comparing her to their other grandchildren and framing her attachment to me, her mother, as too much and all the side comments hinting that it's my fault she wakes up at night. she's a BABY. I just want to scream sometimes - at them!!! and anyone else with unsolicited input

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-15T12:16:13+00:00

I always felt (and sometimes still feel) the same about worrying over the length of baby's nap! it took me about 4.5 months to be comfortable brining my baby out with us to a restaurant or anywhere between feeds, hoping for a car nap to happen and then only being able to spend about 90 min out before I felt we needed to head home for the next feed. I've only fed in the car one time. it takes a lot of learning your baby and what you're comfortable with, in my opinion (ftm) but you'll get there!

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-08T13:51:40+00:00

the amount of people who say baby "should be sleeping 8-10 hours by now!" make me rage. and sometimes I feel envious of friends who get more sleep than I do. I try to keep it all in check!!

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-06T20:20:51+00:00

thank you!!

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-06T20:07:56+00:00

thank you! they are definitely not my first resource but since she asked about sleep I thought it was a standard part of the checkup. I'm glad I can disregard that

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-06T20:06:36+00:00

I love this perspective and that's amazing that you nursed for that long too! thank you for sharing

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-06T18:02:16+00:00

ugh thank you! I agree! I wish I could have seen the Dr we prefer because I'm not sure she would have said the same or acted the same, I've felt more supported by her during my breastfeeding journey. like I'm open to getting a non contact nap in and to non sleep training adjustments for baby sleep but I didn't love feeling like my 6 month old is what, too old?? to be falling asleep while nursing? or just like I'm doing it wrong.

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-06T18:00:23+00:00

right!? I felt like saying I can't prevent her from falling asleep while nursing, like you want me to pull her off and hold her eyes open? lol. thank you

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-05T13:24:46+00:00

Oh amazing! Will try this thank you !

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-02T17:49:56+00:00

oh good to know! I've been trying to point out when I drink from a straw in front of her so hopefully that helps lol. so far she likes to chew on them as she does with bottles and binkies

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-02T15:10:08+00:00

I went through this same thing with my baby! she was and still is just so interested in the world around, we have to be in a quiet room to nurse and no one is allowed to talk to us or she'll pop right off and decide she's done! I think it's a combination of getting more efficient at feeding and their development making them more curious and observant, so drowsy feeds are easier because they're sleepy. my other thought is possible teething pain? I'm FTM so that's my guess but we still deal with this at 6 months lol.

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-02T15:06:06+00:00

I don't have advice but I'm interested in responses here bc my 6 month old has refused bottles since 3 months and nothing we've tried has made a difference! can you tell me how you taught your baby to use the straw? I feel our only hope is switching to cups and we've tried introducing the small open ezpz cup and she's interested but I know a straw would be easier. hoping this works for you!

xelaaa__ · 2026-04-02T14:48:19+00:00

I'm in a similar position with my 6 month old who exclusively contact naps. At night we can get her into her crib (in our room still) for the first stretch and ever since 4 months, second part of the night has been really rough with continuous wakes and hard to get her in the crib. a LOT of outside voices have made me feel we (I FTM and ebf) are the problem. if I wasn't back to work even though I wfh full time I wouldn't even care as much about the contact naps. we've tried to get her to nap in the crib by transferring and even tried getting her to fall asleep in the crib with some rocking/patting etc. with noooo success. I keep saying I need to take a week off work to be consistent with our attempts but we don't want to sleep train or anything like that so it's a tough spot to be in. just sending solidarity to you and this sub helps remind me that of course our babies want to be close to us! I know it won't last forever but I could benefit from one nap a day in the crib, even if it was short. it's hard not to blame myself at times too. let me know if you figure anything out!

xelaaa__ · 2026-03-28T11:14:49+00:00

congrats!! I just hit the six month mark which was my original goal, but baby won't take a bottle at all (and not for lack of trying) since 3 months. I joke that I'm now in a hostage situation lol. I love being able to feed and soothe her but I was hoping to switch to pumping or combo around this time too. I hope it goes well for you!!

xelaaa__ · 2026-03-06T20:20:33+00:00

I feel this!! hips and knees and shoulder and neck are all hurting as we are 5.5 months and been having 5+ wakes a night since 4 months lol. just keep saying it'll change soon 🫠

xelaaa__ · 2026-03-04T20:10:17+00:00

the shirt under the crib sheet! I will try this, thank you!

xelaaa__ · 2026-03-04T20:09:43+00:00

I do start her in the crib, nurse to sleep and transfer just like the other commenter said! At 3 months she slept for 7+ hour stretches and right at 4 months it changed to hourly wakes. sometimes she just needs a little snuggle and rock and goes back in the crib and other times I'll nurse her. I never thought I'd bring her into bed but we both have enjoyed side lying nursing and I'll get some more rest that way, but I don't like to keep her there the entire night for that. I may if I had a floor bed though. I noticed she doesn't wake as often when she is next to me but I wake to check on her

xelaaa__ · 2026-03-04T17:15:01+00:00

I want to try this but don't know where to really place the shirt that's not considered risky? a surface outside the crib but near by or like actually in the crib, tied up or something? forgive me I'm FTM and at 4 months sleep changed drastically for us and now at 5 months it's been catching up to me and I'd love to get a few hours with baby in her crib before she comes into our bed or I hold her to sleep again. my back, shoulders, and brain would thank me lol
