    @okoyefrancis2006 Ugh, they change so fast! My husband reminded me this is working FOR NOW, and it could change any minute.

    @mickey777 That’s good to hear! I definitely don’t feel comfortable letting him get super upset, but letting him be frustrated a bit fees more okay to me.

    "pUt YoUr BaBy DoWn GrOgGy BuT aWaKe"

    @sfa I let my little guy yell and grumble for quite a while as long as he’s not escalating to real crying. If he does start to sound legit distressed, I go get him. This morning he couldn’t do it for his first nap, even though we tried for like half an hour, so I rescued him when he was really...

    "pUt YoUr BaBy DoWn GrOgGy BuT aWaKe"

    @robert777 Drowsy but awake didn’t exist for us until a week or two ago. I’d been feeding and rocking my baby for over an hour in the middle of the night and he would not go to sleep.

I also most likely have undiagnosed ADHD. I hated doing things I couldn’t succeed at immediately, and...

    Breastfed baby night feeding - experience wanted!

    @linka81 10 month old, room sharing (we’ve never bed shared), currently in perpetual teething purgatory. I usually do a dream feed before I go to bed around 9-10, then he could get up to nurse anywhere from 0-2 additional times. 1 is normal right now with teething, but before that he would...

    It’s ok if your nursery isn’t finished or doesn’t exist

    @1answer2 Oh gosh, same here. We bought a fixer-upper and found out I was pregnant 4 days after we closed. It’s an old house and has required a lot more work than we expected, so I haven’t been able to help much. Almost 8 months later it’s not done and we’re still in an overstuffed apartment...
