@upon_this_rock I found a lot of personal peace when I accepted that my baby was going to sleep how she wanted and no instagram sleep socials were going to change it. Going with the flow wasn’t always easy but radical acceptance restored my mental health. Babies gonna baby. It gets better, but...

@stop_cern_idea Yeah, we are mommy and daddy but she overhears us talking to each other (especially when we’re yelling across the house to get the other parent’s attention). So if she wants someone and she’s not getting the desired result she will switch names. Ex: “daddy, come over… daddy...

@benvi85 Yeah I’m currently with my 7 week old second baby. I don’t want to wish the fourth trimester away because we’re two and through so it’s my last time with it. But damn, I can’t wait for more baby and less potato. Toddlers are when the real fun begins! There is still chaos throughout.

@benvi85 It doesn’t always get easier but it does always get different. More personality, more preferences, more giggles, less easy sleep (for us, ymmv), more having fun doing stuff as baby becomes less potato and more baby who participates. Edit: there is still chaos aplenty.

@pnao Our 2 yo is getting put to work: she’s getting a Montessori kitchen set and some cleaning stuff like broom dustpan mop. She’s going to have so much fun!

We live in a 2 bedroom house. Our 2.5yr sleeps in a floor bed in one room, we room share with 4 month old, I cosleep on a floor mattress when he needs it. I’d like to move the two to the same room as the infant gets older, but not sure when we can safely have two toddlers on floor beds. I don’t...

@juggler I didn’t realize that was a thing!! Mine is constantly up around 5am grunting and farting and also congested for some reason? I had no idea other ppl experienced that. I really wonder why.

@cavwda Also what made a huge impact for me was getting a storybook about weaning (there are several, I bought boobie moon), reading them daily for a couple weeks and talking about how boobie was going to be sleeping at night. Then when I did start to replace nigjt nursing with cuddles I would...

@cavwda I night wean my first at 18 months because I was pregnant and that’s when sleeping through started. Inconsistent at first now at a bit past 2 she almost always sleeps through 8:30p-8am with an occasional need for a cuddle between before midnight.

@mjnor1 Not sure if you’re thinking of an overnight but my contact napping bedsharing 8 month old sleeps great in a reclined stroller at her nanny share. Her sleep there has never been an issue and she’ll nap for 1-2 hours, but she won’t tolerate sleeping alone at home. So I think she’s...

@bigadolph420 Same! I was exposed in my early 20s and get about 1 breakout a year ever since. I never share utensils or drinks, and when I have a breakout I take suppressive meds and wear a mask so errant baby hands can’t smack me in the face. It’s embarrassing as a professional adult and also...
