    Are we the only ones struggling financially?

    @sunflower232 Not alone, times are tough. We were renting but got renovicted by our greedy landlord. We have a national housing crisis in my country. So now we live at our in laws and continue saving for our eventual, hopeful house purchase.

    Doctor said my 6mo needs PT

    @springwillow We voluntarily took our baby to an osteopath, it was a total of 3 sessions. Very gentle massage to support skeletal alignment. (Crazy gentle, nothing like chiro which I would never ever do with a baby.) My husband is a personal trainer and we’re super into balance in the body, and...

    i don’t wanna pump anymore

    @brandon_d I never used a “pump” at all. I would collect my letdown in a haakaa, and sometimes relieve the morning engorgement with the haakaa. But that was only for the first few months, to get some relief. I built a small stash of about 10 bags by doing that and only had to use a couple bags...

    3-6 months - What’s next?

    @benvi85 Take videos everyday of simple mundane moments. Even just them lying there, breathing. It’s crazy the way the muscles mature and stop moving in that first year…. They stop grunting all the time too 😭😭

    Always justifying how I take care of LO

    @andreea777 You sound like a wonderfully loving and attentive mother. They shouldn’t feel bad, but it might be hard for your mom and grandma to see you give so much. It might remind them of their shortcomings. It shouldn’t make them feel that way, if anything they should be proud that they...

    6 weeks old, and I’m ready to crumple

    @griffin71 It is absolutely just a phase. Weeks 6, 7 and 8 were the worst for us. By month 3 it was getting better. Month 4 got bad again until I moved baby to own crib in their room beside ours (they were in bedside bassinet until then.) Month 5 was even better and now in month 6 I just had two...

    Nursing to Sleep Q: Are you Burping your Baby?

    @joeparis123 Right?? Blows my mind too! Those 2nd wake-ups to burp can be sooo disruptive to the night, since they are waking up uncomfortable. It’s like we have to choose between either waking them up right away to burp (after they’ve drifted off on the boob,) or put them down and risk a 2nd...

    Nursing to Sleep Q: Are you Burping your Baby?

    @singlestuggler It is hard! One of those decisions where you only learn you’ve made the wrong choice after it’s too late…

    Sleep consultants can FUCK. RIGHT. OFF. (Part 2 - The follow up)

    @cupoftea Yup you said it. A predatory industry preying on vulnerable, desperate, sleep deprived parents.

    Nursing to Sleep Q: Are you Burping your Baby?

    @miullawd Nice to hear this, I would say I’ve been doing the same these days. Trying to go off her cues. However I find that I’m afraid to miss some sneaky gas…not sure why? Some PRSD /”post-reflux stress disorder” perhaps?? Lol

    7 month old won’t sleep alone

    @lucaswey Same here with a low sleep needs baby! OP, this is exactly what my baby was doing too when she was getting too much daytime sleep. Now, her first WW is around 2-2.5 hours, the next two are 3-4 hours typically, down to 2 naps/day (unless she nods off in the car or something.) We...

    Nursing to Sleep Q: Are you Burping your Baby?

    @stephenso Thank you for your comment! Interesting about the other cultures…always enjoy learning different ways. I’ve gone back & forth between more upright positions (for reflux/burping) and laid back (to help control my let down too.) However, those days seem to be behind us now…fingers...
