Can I tailor them to fit better? Do I need different sizes/cuts? I'm 6 foot tall, and had a baby 9 months ago so am still probably changing sizes as my body shifts.
Edit: I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful advice! I can't reply to everyone I just really appreciate everyone though. ❤️
This was my first attempt, and baby was very wiggly. Advice on keeping the seat deep and tightening the top rail would be helpful!
This feels like the solution for me to avoid buying an onbuhimo and use the carriers I already have. My woven wrap is really long and just takes too long to tie to make it useful for quick ups and downs, but my buckle carrier doesn't get him up high enough to see over my shoulder.
My (almost) 6 month old has been very motivated to crawl for a while now. Just in the last week or so he is juuuust figuring it out but I feel like he doesn't quite have the strength or motor control to go where he wants or sustain the posture for very long. And he is soooooo fussy. Like he used to be the chillest baby and it's like overnight he's just angry at the world. I feel like the only thing to do is keep putting him down on his belly to practice but he just fusses, but he doesn't want to be in his bouncer, he doesn't like babywearing anymore, he's only happy going for walks it feels like. I don't know how to meet his need for exploration and also get anything done around the house and support him crawling when he's clearly so close but just not quite there. I feel bad he is so frustrated and also sooo tired of the whining. Any ideas are helpful...
We were catching probably 90% of babies poops a good stretch just by offering the potty when he woke up from naps and sometimes after a feed (very lazy.) He definitely knew the potty was for pooping though. When he started solids and his poops started getting irregular, all of the sudden we aren't catching any poops. Is this just a phase while his bowels adjust? Do I need to be more diligent about reading his signals vs just offering at Wakeup? With cloth diapers it's just so much less mess if he can go on the toilet. 🫠
I'm on a mom and baby trip with me and my baby (5 mos), my sister and her baby (10 mos), and our friend and her baby (14 mos).
​
I have coslept since day 1 and always feed to sleep. It's almost 11 pm (I normally go to bed at 9) and I am still laying awake next to my peacefully sleeping baby while my sister's baby screams her little heart out on the other side of the house. They are doing the Ferber method which I thought was supposed to be "gentle" sleep training but all I can think is that I never once have heard my baby scream like that over sleep (only when he gets his shots and that is short lived.) He wakes 3 times a night and falls right back to sleep with a quick feed, no tears and sometimes I barely wake up.
​
If I ever wondered if I should be sleep training I certainly am not anymore. And I am never sharing a house with them again until baby sleeps through the night. I don't know how people do this. Poor little girl. I feel so heartbroken and I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight.
I leak a lot and so wear nursing pads in my sports bra style bra, and I am tired of boobs looking saggy and lumpy. Is there a comfortable nursing bra that will disguise the nursing pads better and support better?
At 3 months on the dot my baby who had been sleeping through the night started waking every hour. This went on for a month until I couldn't take it any more and I started a new daytime routine that would hopefully help manage his sleep pressure a bit. It did help somewhat but he still wakes 5 times a night most nights at 4.5 months. A couple nights ago he actually only woke twice through the night and I thought maybe we were getting somewhere but last night he woke up so much.
We cosleep because I thought it would help me sleep more but I just keep seeing people saying that if baby wakes up and smells your milk they will want to feed etc. It doesn't make sense to me because he was cosleeping when he was sleeping through the night. I was holding out hope that we would pull through this sleep regression and be back to better sleep but I'm just so tired. I want to feel rested so I can enjoy my baby.
Does this sound like a phase he will get through? Should I try having him sleep part of the night in his pack and play? Should I try to stop nursing to sleep? I just need something to change.
