    I discovered something great! Addy's drool rash has been getting worse and I remembered I had stocked up on Earth Mama Angel Baby Nipple Butter for breastfeeding. I read it could be great for rashes, so I tried it last night and it looks 100 times better this morning! Thought I'd share that tip in case anyone has a similar problem.

    Thank you! No rash yet but I have a ton of that butter that I didn't use and was feeling like I wasted money buying it so I'm glad to know it can be used for other things.

    We're driving home from visiting some family about two hours away. LO usually falls asleep In her car seat ad if not I hang out with her while H drives and she's completely content. Not this time. She has seen crying since we left. I'm going to lose it. We're almost home thankfully and if just getting her out of the seat doesn't work I might run away because nothing else is.

    Thanks @JoShan1719‌. Got her out of the seat and she did a few whimpers and then was fine. Ugh, brat. I hope she gets over this. We have a 4 hour trip next weekend.

WTF BIL, you invite yourself over to watch football...fine, you TELL (not ask) me that I am going to make meatballs and the dip that you love...whatever I can get over that, BUT now that you are here and I cooked (after being up for pretty much the last two days) you say that you just ate so you're not hungry!!!!! Really??? If it wasn't for you DH and I would have ordered take out! Now I also have a kitchen to clean...ugh.

    For some reason today every time I get a chance to sleep, I have insomnia. Ugh.

    I mean this in the nicest way possible ...honey, you need to learn to say no.  


    Oh yeah, I know. Saying no is definitely something that I have trouble doing. I'm slowly getting better.

    DH is hunting this weekend so I'm at home with LO by myself.  Normally I don't get scared, but some neighborhood kids just knocked on my front door then ran off. It scared the shit out of me!  Now my heart is racing and I can't calm down. Ugh!

    Call the police station and tell them what happened and maybe they can send a patrol car to circle the block.You can also tell them you are home alone with a baby and maybe they can have a patrol car drive by during the night. Also when my hubs is not home I booby trap all the doors (put the vaccum cleaner in front of the door lol stuff like that) and lock myself in my room at night. I also keep a weapon close by.
    I thought I was the only one like this! I'm seriously fighting sleep right now until DH gets home from going out tonight! I had a huge pit/Shepard for 12 years that made me feel safe 100% of the time. Sadly, he passed away when I was 2 months pregnant and have hated be alone at night since. My spidey senses won't calm down and now that LO is here it's worse!

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that is afraid when home alone. DH is going to be out of town all week for work so LO and I are packing up and going to stay at my moms. I freak myself out when I'm alone at night and over think every little noise I hear. We have two shepherds that go crazy when someone steps foot in our yard but I still don't feel good about it.

    Even when I do all that I have to sleep with the T.V. on AND I still jerk awake almost every hour. I have no idea where this overwhelming fear came from but I cannot help myself.
    I got crazy PPA - the main thing it affected was my sleep. I got on Lexapro and it's sooooo much better. I never had anxiety before. It's the worst!

    Up every hour last night. This child cannot put himself back to sleep but he never could. I have the sweetest baby but he is a CRAP sleeper and has been since the first night of his life. I don't really want to ever go through this again. Just venting and frustrated.

    Sorry @lizzie82088‌ and @missmimsyy‌ ! That really sucks :(

    Mine has even sleeping great for over a week now but I always get the feeling it's too good to be true. I'm convinced that the 4 month sleep regression will kick my ass.

    She's been hardcore fighting sleep since her wonder week/growth spurt. Not wanting to miss things is killing me.

    Yeah I'm dealing with this too and it sucks. DS just screamed for 45 minutes in my arms before falling asleep. He's sleeping now but keeps whimpering periodically. Ugh :(

    Were having a bad sleep week after a pretty good stretch too. I wish I could get her to believe all the cool things will still be there to look at when she wakes up.
    @lizzie82088, the next kid has to be a better sleeper in comparison, right? At least that's what I keep telling myself.

    If I have another one, I think I've earned a good sleeper! I think all of us with crappy sleepers do!

    Today was a fussy baby and clingy toddler day.  They are both finally in bed and all I want to do is veg out in front of the tv but instead I have to finish homework because having needy children makes it hard to do when H is at work.  I have zero desire to write about genetic manipulation at 9pm.  My brain has stopped working.

    I thought my first was the bad sleeper. 

    I knew, KNEW, that my second one would sleep better.

    He's worse.
    This is us.  My first had to be snuggled to sleep but slept for a long time. #2 will go to sleep on his own but only sleeps for like 20 minutes. I don't know which is worse.  And he has been up to nurse lately like every 1.5-2 hours at night.

    Mine has to be cuddled to sleep until she is jello, only sleeps for 20 minutes (at best) and is up every few hours. Not trying to make it a competition because I think unfortunately, @joshan1719 would win (sorry girl!), but that surely has to be the secret combination that gets me a better sleeper next time? Otherwise she's an only child. It may not be worth the risk.

    Yea mines the same. I think I'm OAD. I've tried that drowsy but awake crap and putting him in the swing/crib/RnP swaddled and he always just lays there for 20 or so minutes with slowly escalating fussing until a red faced cry. Every damn time. Ugh.

    A friend at work had a colicky baby who is now a pleasant 3 year old. He tells me all that crap about forgetting how awful it is is not true; he remembers. They are now oad. Sometimes I think I am too, and mine even sleeps ok most of the time.

    I've already forgotten how awful labor and childbirth is, but this sleep deprivation is a world of its own.. However in a few years I probably will have forgotten this too and want another one. Probably not though. I'm especially bitter right now as LO has slept one 3.5 hour stretch and then needed me every hour after that

    Question for those of you that cosleep and bed share: when is it considered safe to have LO in bed with you like next to you? I sleep with him on my chest since I don't move in my sleep really. But is there an age where it's safer to spoon them since they are bigger? I was thinking maybe closer to a year I would feel okay just letting him in the bed next to me.

    We have been bed sharing since LO was 4 weeks old. We have been trying to transition into the crib but he is not having any of it. I was nervous at first because I thought I would crush LO but I sleep light and LO actually sleeps. I think bed sharing really depends on the parents and the baby and if you feel comfortable.

    I'm a light sleeper too so it works... MH however is a heavy sleeper and rolls so that's why it's tricky for me. If I slept alone I think I could do it easily. I guess I'll just keep LO in my arms on top of me until he is a toddler and can sleep in the middle or on the edge next to me and won't roll off... I hear you on the crib though, my DS barely wants to sleep in the swing or RnP let alone crib! So frustrating :(
