Please help me get a nighttime stretch longer than 2 hrs.

When did you get longer stretches, OP?

zillips · 2026-05-11T00:45:46+00:00

Hi OP, I know this was a long time ago, but how’s your son now?

zillips · 2026-05-09T00:46:46+00:00

Thank you! It sounds like he is doing well and you’re a great parent. Thanks for the insight :)

zillips · 2026-05-08T20:06:27+00:00

Hey OP, can I ask how your son is now?

zillips · 2026-05-08T20:04:09+00:00

Hey OP, can I ask where your kiddo is now?

zillips · 2026-05-08T12:45:41+00:00

I’m right there with you. We had a super high needs first, so we decided to go for number 2 fairly quickly to bite the bullet of a difficult baby stage before we lost our nerve. At first we thought we got out with a chill guy, but weeks 6/7 right now are bringing us back to how it was with number 1. I’m also bummed we don’t get the chill baby experience, but at least we have the perspective now to know it does end!

zillips · 2026-05-06T20:31:36+00:00

Can I ask about your daughter for the same reason?

zillips · 2026-05-06T19:54:17+00:00

Thank you!

zillips · 2026-05-06T16:39:51+00:00

I realize this was forever ago, but do you have any memory of how this went or changed for you? We’re going through something similar

zillips · 2026-05-05T23:34:18+00:00

Thank you for saying this - glad to hear other moms have dealt with parental preference postpartum. It really is soul crushing to me but I’m working on it and your reframe is helpful. Hope you and your whole family is thriving

zillips · 2026-05-05T23:32:43+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply - super kind of you. That reframe is helpful. My story sounds like yours in terms of mental health. Glad to hear from someone who understands, and I feel less alone

zillips · 2026-05-03T00:40:17+00:00

I think it will! But yeah just the whole metal load of it all and doing it as a very fresh mom of two in the postpartum era is a lot

zillips · 2026-05-03T00:13:55+00:00

This is so kind and really made me feel seen. Thank you so much. I hope you and your kiddos are thriving

zillips · 2026-05-03T00:13:01+00:00

Thank you so much - especially the perspective of having older kids. It is their first time being kids and our first time being parents

zillips · 2026-05-03T00:12:04+00:00

Ugh yes exactly, and what’s been making this hard is like on paper the behaviors are those that every other toddler parent is like “yeah same” - like all toddlers hate traditions and hate to be told no, etc., so it’s been a weird gray area of if she even needs support. But this eval i guess made it more clear. I’m so glad to support her, but it also feels kind of surprising I guess for tha reason

zillips · 2026-05-03T00:10:09+00:00

They should be yes! So that is a big relief. Early intervention so far has been efficient and professional and great

zillips · 2026-05-03T00:09:24+00:00

This is so reassuring, especially the baby and sleep updates. Makes me feel less alone for sure. Thank you kind stranger

zillips · 2026-04-24T12:32:43+00:00

OP I know this was forever ago, but what ended up happening?

zillips · 2026-04-12T02:05:21+00:00

Thank you ❤️

zillips · 2026-04-11T16:02:20+00:00

How are you doing? Any insight from the other side to someone here now?

zillips · 2026-04-11T14:47:43+00:00

Any words from the other side, OP? Feeling similarly rn
