@solomon97 Heat is not recommended for mastitis anymore, OP is better to use something cooling. As for the biting, it’s most likely because baby is teething. Not necessarily that they are ready to wean. Which still sucks but teething and therefore the biting is temporary.

@lissie Yeah you want like a plain standard crib. Like what Ikea sells. Then you’ll want to strap the legs or slat frame (the bit the mattress rests on) to the bed, then something to stuff against the mattress on the far side so it’s snug to your mattress. I also shift the big mattress over a...

@lissie We have a side car crib set up which we’re still using with my 22 month old - not that he sleeps much in it lol. Plus I have a video monitor so if he’s ever sleeping in the crib/bed alone I can make sure he’s safe and not about to crawl off if he wakes up (less necessary now he can get...

@josho Your husband should be giving you your own spending money each month. We have a joint account which he puts in money to cover bills, groceries etc. Then he puts money into my personal account for me to spend however I want, he doesn’t care. Tbh I don’t want much for myself so a lot of...

@jimhempel I’d suspect teething. Or maybe too much day time sleep but if you think he’s high sleep needs then maybe not. In any case, I highly doubt holding him for naps is related!

@falan My baby slept between us from early on, but at that point we couldn't feed side lying anyway. Now that he's older, I flip him to the other side at each wake up. He's either between me and my partner or on the outside of the bed which has a full size crib side carred to it.

@eternalgrace7 Thought your username seemed familiar haha! I don't blame you although there is a fairly strong anti sleep training faction which helps me stick around.

@beardedbloke That's one way to make fond family holiday memories :/

@hary89 That's one way to make fond family holiday memories :/ Edit: this comment was intended for another comment but it's close enough that it stands 😄

@cyberrocky From a lot of comments in my bumper sub, quite often it's only not excruciating for the parents because they put on noise cancelling headphones and drink a glass of wine so yeah...

@dbirdez This is good but I think a single quick reference for new, sleep deprived parents coming to the sub for the first time in search of info in a standalone stickied post could be good? Eg safe sleep seven with a brief explanation of why that rule is important.

@pastor_rob I recently read this post and I think you might find it helpful in handling bedtime. I know my evening feels a little better if I'm not trapped in a dark room with my 11mo for hours, even if bedtime is still quite late sometimes (he's awkwardly on 2 naps at the moment which means...

@sweetiicake If you had a regular cycle this month (ie ovulated at the usual time) and are 5 days late due to being pregnant, you should have a positive test by now. Most likely situation is that you ovulated late for whatever reason (it can happen randomly even if you’re normally very regular)...
