@mbradfo2 babies and dogs
@Aera11 love your little babe and bunny
@gfgrump sounds like maybe just a bad day. My doc warned me at our 2 week checkup that basically the crying is going to increase for awhile. Lucy would love being in one thing one day then hate it the next. Some days she’s just a total fusspot and we have to trade off with her to keep our sanity because nothing will calm her. When Lucy is crabby after eating usually she has trapped gas. She’s just a very hard to burp baby. I think I’ve watched every burping technique/tutorial on YouTube by now. We don’t have a snoo but we do have a gracco dream glider which has worked wonders for us...BUT we got it as a hand me down from a friend because her son hated it sooooo take that with a grain of salt.
I need to take more baby and dog pictures...pretend I don’t look so tired in this picture. Lol

"When all is lost then all is found."
@gfgrump it’s probably a phase but if you do get the snoo just make sure you can return it if he hates it. Nothing works 100% for all babies and I’d hate for you to shell out that much money for nothing. Ozi hates almost everything and will only tolerate the rock and play for a limited time. We therefore have a lot of useless gadgets hanging around just hoping that he will come to like them eventually. You can also look for one second hand or borrow one if possible just to test it out and see if he likes it.
@mbradfo2 - I remember the first time I had my mom watch Parker, I forgot to take my pump so I decided to go home a pump first, then pick him up. It was the first time since he was born that I had been alone in the house and it felt sooooo weird!! I almost regretted it haha

So... so much for “I’m not going to let my baby cry it out.” Took my son to his 6-month appointment last Monday and the doctor told me at his age he should be sleeping 6-8 hour stretch at night. She suggested that we sleep train him as she thinks that he is nursing for comfort, not due to hunger. So we will start that this weekend. Any suggestions on how to sleep train without letting the baby cry for more than 5... or 10 minutes? Just the thought of him crying makes me feel sick.

Our doctor said that baby's cries will be self-extinguishing as long as there's not something actually wrong (wet diaper, hungry, etc).
One technique is to go in to check on baby when they cry, but gradually make your "check-ins" quicker and less frequent. We didn't need to go that route though; I usually set a timer for 15 minutes and let her fuss. If she's ready to sleep, she'll calm down before 15 minutes. If not, I go and get her and rock her a bit in the chair, rinse and repeat. Also, I'm talking about actual tear-filled eyes crying; I let her fuss in her crib and roll around until she falls asleep. We got our advice from my mom and she's able to get Anne down for 2 naps a day when she's watching her (unlike me) so it seems to work! It takes time, but she now goes to sleep pretty quickly when we put her down and usually stays asleep for 8-10 hours at night (she doesn't nap much during the day).
We did have a couple episodes of middle of the night awakening when she was cutting her second tooth, but the doctor said to let her fuss and that she'll fall back asleep within 10-15 minutes. Haven't had an episode yet to try that on, though.

"When all is lost then all is found."
Also, every kid is different and has different needs at different times. There's no one size fits all solution here. If crying it out isn't right for you guys, try something else instead. Don't feel like you have to use that method.
TBH, although I've been lurking, it feels a bit daunting to jump into a whole new thread here, but I know there're lots of familiar faces, (and many more I wish I saw posting here, too!!! ❤ ), so I figure now is as good a time as any!
My baby girl is two weeks old now... I have a baby girl. It feels so surreal just saying that, DH and I have a little daughter. Wow.
After way too long TTC with temping, charting, and Creighton method, we finally got a pretty definitive diagnosis: azoospermia. We are Catholic, so it did take us some time to process and come around to considering what once seemed utterly preposterous - IVF - and find a way, first to wrap our heads and hearts around it, and then to make it possible. I shifted gears from WFH for the family business to a job outside the home, in order to secure some pretty unicorn infertility coverage. We did a retrieval for H, and by the Grace of God, they found sperm! We did two back-to-back retrievals for me, and ended up with a handful of well-graded embryos to start with, opting out of PGS. After a polypectomy for me as well, our second FET stuck! And stayed! And grew into the beautiful little girl who's dozing beside me. God is so good, and we are truly unworthy. But so very grateful that this escapade has already paid off!
All that to say, we have a few embies waiting, which we plan to go back and eventually transfer back by eSET. We really can't bear to leave any behind. DH is more or less against us doing another retrieval, but we do still have two vials of his samples left in storage, so I'm more inclined to wait till we see at least how TFAS starts to go, before making any major decisions. BusinessBaby came via c-section, so they will want us to wait a solid two years before delivering another baby, at which point I will be hoping for a VBAC.
But in the mean time, we'll just be here, nursing, pumping, CDing, and doing our thing! ...until I have to go back to work, that is... sigh.
Anywho, for those of you who don't know me yet, that's it in a nutshell. So very grateful to be here on the other side of IF, still rooting for my ladies in the wait, and still processing some things following her birth, which may take some time. But everything is going more or less great! She's a good baby, just constantly hungry, so I'm working on boosting my supply a bit to help keep up.
Happy to get to know all you ladies better, and help each other through this whole mommy thing. ;)
@cashewchicken we are just now doing a bit of sleep training. Now when Bryson wakes up at around 2-4am we just go in and out his bink in when he is fussing and he falls back asleep after that. If he is truly crying then we will feed. He is still waking up super early in the morning. This morning was 5am or so. Some days it’s 6 or 7am but never later than that. Yawn but the night waking up is getting way better.
@cashewchicken I’m certainly no expert on sleep training but we don’t pick her up unless she is legit crying. We loosely followed the recommendations in bringing up Bebe. When she does cry I try an pop a pacifier in her mouth and bump the side of the pack and play to wiggle it a bit. If that doesn’t soothe her we pick her up and do the change/feed/rocking combo. She sleeps pretty reliability through the night, not sure if it’s the technique or luck. I hope it goes ok for you. I know how hard it is to hear your little one cry.
@businesswife I was wondering when you would make the leap over here. I’ve missed you! I still can’t wrap my mind around saying my daughter. I feel like an imposter, like me a mom? Is this real? Just so happy for you welcoming you little girl.

welcome @BusinessWife I was wondering where u were! It’s a girl yay!! So over the moon for you!!
@gfgrump it’s all trail and error. I swear my baby hated every item and stayed in nothing! She’s now 4 months and lil by lil she does stay in everything for almost 10 min at times. It’s not long but an improvement from screaming!! She even napped in the swing a few times....I just keep trying as it changes all the time!
@2MomsHoping wow uve really tried lots of bottles! So far I like the comotomo one, she takes a lil longer to feed with it and I can clearly see where she’s at and when it’s done....they are pretty pricey so I only got the small ones.
Im very lucky that so far baby girl is a lil piggy and drinks everything I give her BM, formula, powdered formula warm or cold. I’ve learned that it’s better to give my bm first and formula after as she spits up a lot if I reverse it. However the last 2 days she threw up like 5x after a feeding and I’m not sure what the problem is. Once I gave 4.5 oz as she didn’t eat for a longer span and figured she’d be extra hungry and my mom always says I’m not giving her enough with 4 so I gave in and I think it was too much for her and that was the issue but last night that wasn’t the case and it was the sensitive formula and she threw up 5x. I needed quite a few paper towels to clean the floor why I say throw up and not spit up. Should I be concerned or it’s a fluke? I’m trying to keep her upright after feeding but it was 1am and I really wanted her to be sleeping so she was laying.
Im very impressed with everyone’s baby sleeping in cribs the minute I try to put her down she opens her eyes giving me the look of don’t you do it!! And I try it she screams and then it’s the routine of trying to get her back to sleep. I know it’s bad but I think she’s still too young to cry it out. My other issue is she’s constantly waking up looking for the boob. Anyone else have that issue? I’ve tried the pacifier, finger, burpie to give my nips a rest but she makes a face and spits everything out. Once she starts to cry and wake herself up I know I have to give in to get her back to sleep.
All i I keep hearing is I’ve created this but it’s what has gotten us this far...not ideal but I waited forever to have her so I’m trying to enjoy her wanting her mama but it does make it hard too!!!
I did leave her for a couple of hours to run errands the other day as well and missed her terribly!! My bf had a birthday dinner and she didn’t even invite me. At first I was a lil insulted but then appreciative I didn’t have to say no as I really wouldn’t have wanted to leave baby girl so long. I too still get emotional all the time. This precious gift is finally here, this joy that consumed my life of ttc for years is here...it’s strange...it became so apart of my life I feel like I’m still adjusting. Gd I love her so!!!

welcome @BusinessWife Congrats on your baby girl!
@mbradfo2 Sometimes he just yells out from nightmares or whatever and we do let him cry that out as he does go back to sleep right away. The tough one is when he wakes up approx 3 hours after the last feed. He’s so accustomed to eating every 3 hours that he howls quite a bit and I just give in after 2 min of crying. 8-10 hours of sleep sounds amazing though.
@persnickity My son goes back down right after feeding, too. That’s why I thought he was hungry all this time. Prior to me going back to work I felt like he was on track to sleeping longer, as he was feeding every 4-5 hours at night. I went back to work when he was almost 4 months old, and he reverse cycled for a while, not eating much during the day and eating more at night to make up for all the lost calories. After that his daytime feeding amount was up again but started teething (in hindsight). We started letting my husband hold him when he cries instead of nursing him and he does go right back to sleep. But that’s trading one bad habit for another, I think. Thanks for your book recommendation. Will check it out.

@cashewchicken - lots of good advice but always other options. We used Healthy asleep Habits, Happy Baby and my own instincts. Parker fed in the MOTN until about 7m and during a growth spurt he still will sometimes. He’s a bottlefed baby. I will fuss but not CIO - never have and Parker, unless it’s teeth, has been fine. Go with your gut - if you think you and your baby can handle CIO give it a go. All depends on how you want to parent - as long as they get adequate sleep in the night/day.

@Holls214 That’s great that his night wake up is getting better. I think for the most part my baby fusses and he’s not really crying. So we give him pacifier to see if he’ll calm down with that but often times he has to be held or nursed. Let’s see how this week will go...
@2MomsHoping Popping a pacifier and rocking the bassinet (or use an oscillating bassinet) used to work back when he was younger but lately not so much. It might be because he is teething. He will just chew on his pacifier and make grunting noises and just tosses and turns. That will last for a few minutes and then he cries and that’s when we give in and feed him.

Graham seriously just wants to sleep on me, if he could crawl into me he would haha. He was on a glorious week long stretch of sleeping 6:30/7 till 5, nurse and back to sleep. Then he got sick and now I think teething. I’m ok CIO but like last night he was up whimpering every 5 min for a solid hour around midnight, half asleep so I thought he’d just pass out eventually. Finally nursed him for 2 minutes and he passed out and slept till 5. I’m tired but with a big sis I never get snuggles with him so I’m being 110% honest saying it’s ok. You just do what works for you
@JWatt5 Thanks for your recommendation! It’s not easy but we will try different approaches. Sometimes it’s hard to tell fussing from crying. I feel like he is not getting enough sleep as is, since he doesn’t sleep much during the day especially on weekends. We will see how daycare will change his nap routine (or more like establish one).
@Hopeful_mom Baby giggles are the best! My baby really loves peek-a-boo.
@2MomsHoping I’ve never tried Dr Brown’s, but can you use the nipple of that and use a different bottle instead? I really love Pigeon brand’s nipple. Its slow-flow nipple has been slow enough that my baby never preferred the bottle over my breast. I love the nipple but the bottle isn’t compatible with the Spectra flange and so I’ve been testing bottles from different brands. I’ve tested MAM and Avent and I so far like MAM bottles.

like a min but then ok as the weather was awful and I didn’t have to feel bad declining. But yes she still should’ve extended the invite. I have many friends with kids that would never invite me to kid parties and that insulted me too! I wasn’t trying then and how can I have a relationship with ur kids if I’m not invited. My gf wanted nights out without the kids so that’s more of when I do them. Now there kids are old enough to babysit
@Polythene Pam I’m thrilled to hear u have a snuggler!! She just wants to sleep on me and even keeping her asleep is still tough!! She still has has issues it’s so annoying. Better then what it was but still here ugh!!!

@Hopeful_mom your daughter and my son are very similar. I don’t know if they are particular or we have spoiled them but I can identify with everything you post. Ozi hates pacifiers. We’ve tried all types but he acts like it’s poison when you put it in his mouth. He wants the boob for food, comfort and to go to sleep. He still hates being put down to sleep but I did take some advice from these wise ladies and bought stuff second hand on Facebook marketplace until I found something he likes. He will now sleep in the rock and play but still that’s for an hour max whereas if he’s next to me he will sleep up to 3 hours. I want to push it and make him stay down more but after a few hours of getting up every 30mins to an hour at night I usually give up and let him in the bed because I’m just exhausted. If we put him down to sleep in his bassinet (he has 2 types) or crib or swing chair he will wake up and cry immediately. He also hates swaddling and will fight and struggle until at least his arms are free. When he is awake he will go down for a limited time, like up to 20 mins max to play on a playmat or bouncer. I go back to work next week so I’m just hoping that he will learn how to settle himself without me because he will have no choice. At this point I would even be happy if he starts sucking his thumb if it will help his settle.
@cashewchicken I think when it comes to CIO it’s what works for you and your family. If waking up every 3 hours is no big deal for you then you can give him time to sleep longer on his own. We tried CIO because others pressured us to and I really couldn’t listen to him scream for 15+ minutes and neither could DH. When he fusses I do give him time to see if he will stop but so far it just escalates.
So so I start work next week and I’m so anxious and stressed about it. It’s so hard picking a caregiver and I’m stressed about how he will cope without me and if I’ll be able to keep up pumping at work. Ugh if it was up to me I’d stay home with him for the first year but I can’t. I’m gonna miss him and worry so much I hope I can concentrate on work.

@aera11 It’s pretty rare for me to get through the day without an amazon order. This morning I ordered some face mostuirizer for the baby and just now I finished my book so I just had to treat myself to a new one off my list. I don’t know how I ever lived without it.
