@lolasode Ugh, I know all this too well. Sorry you had to go through this. I also found the alternative feeding methods mental (OK in the nicu, but man let me just bottle feed my baby at home!).

@laura100 You know nowadays women can keep their last name 😉

@marks1mpson Me too, it felt too weird to change it after having my name for so long. Also it would be very difficult to pronounce my name and my husband's last name together 😁

@christiangirl30 Thank you, it always helps hearing this from more experienced parents!

@revdrjkelly Is he teething? Or going through a growth spurt? Sometimes babies need those extra snuggles at night! But sometimes it's a habit! Try to up his calories from food during the day. It really helps. Not only BLW, but try with purées to get more food into him. Then you might get a good...

@tmorey7788 We used one and it helped us to transition to the crib at some point, because it was a sleep association for our daughter (+ low red light, sleepy song, sleep sack, etc.). But if you plan to cosleep long term, maybe it's not necessary to keep it. We ditched it once baby was happy in...

@monk58 That's so interesting. In Germany they tell us to prepare for 6 weeks of adjustment (at least in my state). The first week we come for an hour together with the baby and maybe leave for couple of minutes. Then slowly increase the stay and separation time. Obviously your system works as...

@wren84 Yeah, I think I'll try the same 😅 because her standard sleep was a longer block after falling asleep and then multiple wake-ups later, but from what I've read that's quite common. But this now is completely upside down and worse than ever.

@alexd97 Same here, husband works full time and I'm "lucky" to be on maternity leave, but with no support it's really brutal, especially when our daughter or/and we are sick 😫

@bloodboughtchad You're not creating a dependent monster! But if you're in physical pain, then you need to find a way that works for you. I loved co-sleeping with my LO until ca 4 months, but then she started to toss and turn and hit me with her legs (even through her sleep sack...). So I put...

@wren84 Yes, my 7 mo has recently started sleeping like this, especially the first part of the night. Waking up all the freaking time. Then she has a block of 2-3 hours before waking up for the day, because it's exhausting for her as well. She started to eat more solids so I'm wondering if her...

@lynsquid Well done! You can also try wearing the carrier as cross-straps or I simply wear mine as H-straps and close it higher towards my neck so I can reach it (but my back doesn't suffer due to it, I couldn't imagine this not working for everyone).

@lupuswarrior Great workout 😁 I tried today awake and she was trying to push herself out of the carrier 😅😅😅 I guess we need a bit more getting used to, I think she doesn't like feeling restricted?

@al333 Aha! Maybe I give it a shot again 😁 I currently put her in the carrier before her nap, she starts screaming but calms down once we're outside and then falls asleep. Maybe it would work when she's awake 🤔

@al333 Does your's tolerate it while awake? My LO is 4mo and I can basically only use it when she's napping. Of course she hates her stroller as well 😅 so I struggle getting out while she's awake!

@forwardslider Hey, first of all you did nothing wrong and by no means have you spoiled your child. Of course she loves being close to you and the boob. That's obviously familiar and soothing to her. Also we all do what works, sometimes there's not so much choice 🙃 We stopped co-sleeping around...

@thorpe Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story! 😊
