@jason12354 Great to hear from someone a little further ahead than us, thank you ❤️❤️

@rad Thank you 🥰 and congratulations! Two baby girls sounds lovely

@rad These are all the things I think about! I’m glad to hear you had the same concerns but they’ve turned out to be unfounded. May I ask what the age gap is between them?

@rad It sounds like it’s going pretty smoothly so far!! And how are you doing? Is it possible to love your second as much as your first? I can’t imagine having this much love twice 🥰 I think my heart would explode

@rad We’re also breastfeeding on demand & cosleeping at night so this is a great journey to hear about, thank you! How’s your toddler been doing since your second arrived?

@vinhhali Oh I feel you, mine is exaacccttllyyy the same at night, I’m laying here at 1:45am and she’s been back on the boob since midnight. She does sleep unlatched at night but it’s in between longggg periods of sleep feeding. It’s the lying in one position that gets me but I try to mix it up...

@squirrel123 Yes! We’ve always done carrier naps too both when I’m out and when we have guests over, but much less frequently now because she’s so much heavier and her naps are longer. It’s doable for a one-off but not on a regular basis. She’s not a big baby by any means, and I have a brilliant...

@brian5856 My husband has given up saying anything to me now but he did try to push laying her down previously; he saw the results 😄

@breezelow Absolutely. This sub has saved my sanity on many occasions, I don’t know who I’d turn to otherwise!

@breezelow Feel free to throw this thread at him!! It would be my pleasure!

@brianp24 I’m in the same position, I don’t know where I’d be without this sub! Probably would have checked myself into an asylum somewhere, the amount people like to make out that I’m the crazy one. Without you guys, they may have managed to convince me 😅

@brianp24 Love this 😂 thank you 💪 💕

@godslawismylaw Omgosh yes when their little hand is just.. there! 🥰 it’s so sweet I’ve offered to my husband to lie with us and we can watch something on his phone with headphones in while she naps but he’s left me to it; would your partner be up for that maybe?

@squeaker1 Absolutely agreed, and I frustrate myself! Empowering myself going forwards 💪

@squeaker1 I become very defensive like ‘I know it sounds mad but..’ and I have to stop demeaning myself and my parenting in that way 💪💪

@ptom Yes I totally agree!! In the evenings I’m able to sneak away for a bit with the monitor on once she’s in a deep enough sleep, but I swear all I do is watch it 😄 at least if I’m here (I’m in bed with her rn) if she wakes up all she needs to do it reposition herself and go back to sleep 🥰

@ptom You’ll never regret contact napping 🥰 love this, thank you. I figure just as with everything else they’ll move on when they’re ready to move on, and I’m too tired and lazy to fight it (I love my contact naps btw, in case it sounds like I don’t!) Wishing you lots of luck with the...

@imagebeastmarkbeast She didn’t speak to you for two weeks!! Honestly the only thing I can take from that is that she needed to take time out to question her experience. No shade on your mum specifically at all. They don’t know what they don’t know 🤷‍♀️ hopefully things are better with you guys...

@imagebeastmarkbeast Selective memory is the disease of the boomer generation. I’m sorry you were pressured into CIO; so easily done when you feel like an outlier and this is your first experience on the job! When my LO was a few weeks old my husband insisted we needed to try to ‘train’ her to...

I’d love some support or advice from anyone else who is/was still contact napping beyond 12 months; my baby girl is nearly 14 months old and her 2 naps are fully contact with nipple in mouth. Occasionally she unlatches; mostly not. If I unlatch or move she wakes up. I’m a SAHM so I’m lucky...
