@eaglehaze Yes. It’s usually a sign that life isn’t at a manageable level and things need to change

@sanoy Yes that could definitely be a contributing factor! It’s not that they’re hungry necessarily, but they rely on it for settling. Some people don’t mind this so it’s fine! I however prefer sleep haha

@nader1 Anecdotally I think the trick is the feeding routine, not the formula. If you’re already desperate and thinking of giving up feeding, consider putting baby on a routine first. If it affects your breastfeeding, it doesn’t matter because you were already considering moving to formula. At...

@komdiarect I went for a vaginal birth because there was no reason not to. Both babies were head down, full term, of a reasonable size, their own sacks. My OB was happy to go with it and see what happened and said there can be good reasons to give it a go such as the benefits of baby’s lunch...

@jlkuhioe When does he spend time with your child? I’m assuming they’re getting ready for bed by the time he finishes work

@rudytoot Your routine will change with life. Mine isn’t helpful to you cause I have 4 kids and it looks way different than when I had 1. What I found most helpful was to make a list of everything that HAD to get done and plan a time to do it. So if I’m doing washing every day, when does it go...

@agape49 Hopefully it’s a non issue!!! I was bed bound for 9 months with my twins and had to get my other kids into full time care. It was horrible and I basically missed out on that year with them, but I was glad they were young because it meant I was more present in the years they were more...

@agape49 Omg. I see you had HG. I don’t know what sort of care you had with your first pregnancy but you need to get on top of your medication NOW. Your body is already depleted and you’re about to have to take care of a newborn while sick. I’m being serious. Find someone who specialises in it...

@toolenduso My husband would have set hours that he clocked on and off. I wouldn’t ask him for help during those times. If he came in and offered help, it was with the understanding that it’s because he’s having a break, not because he’s going to finish work later than planned. In saying...

@sunshinexsweettea I commented here

@hew0007 Big picture: I think what I do at home is valuable. Anyone can do my washing and cooking etc etc. But no one can teach our children the values of our family. Impart wisdom for how life works. Teach and mould them. We always planned that I would stay at home. We want to spend as much...

@truthandlove I picked and chose various methods, but basically things like: woke baby up at the same time each morning and fed them in the sunlight followed appropriate wake windows. 45-60 mins for a newborn wrapped tightly, placed into bed, noise machine, dark room. Very few naps were held...

@iaian This is all anecdotal. My infant health nurse (the head of department at the hospital I was at) mentioned that when she started her career (maybe 40 years prior) there was no such thing as regressions. 4 months was no different to any other month. But now it’s a common issue. Her...

@foreverhis84 Sounds like a career change is worth considering

@seeker1231 Thank you, I’ll have a look

@seeker1231 My understanding is that we do have research on sleep training? For example this review looks at 52 of those sleep studies. I’m assuming you have info that I don’t so wondering what your thoughts are.
