Maybe around 1.5 months, I transferred him to being rocked to sleep very much against his will. Then he figured out he’d be put down as soon as he was unconscious and started fighting sleep altogether. I had to hold him all day & night until sleep training at 3.5 months. I’d definitely work on sleep from the beginni...

I’d be so happy to share. We actually got a specialised sleep trainer in. I’ll find you some resources. It was amazing and honestly after a couple of nights it was like a different world. I’ll get some info and share in your DMs.

He has a family? Photos are required please. I think I love my kids stuffed animals more than she does tbh
7,311,104
mommit
Oh, you only disclose the fact he has a family NOW? C'mon, stop holding out on us! He is super adorable, and I love your story about weaning your little guy off nursing to sleep. Probably gonna need a Mr Gorilla Fashionpants ourselves...
7,311,105
mommit
He is highly fashionable. 10/10 would snuggle

Lol solidarity. Mine turns 1 this month and I see no end in sight.

mommit
Omg that is sooo sweet! My lo hates her hands being touched!
7,311,108
mommit
Just my two cents since you’re getting downvoted… 3.5 months is a little early for sleep training. Ferber is not recommended until 4 months, and full extinction 6 months. Also, 1.5 months is a peak fussy time - I had nights of pacing around with my LO til 3 am. While you can certainly try to “work on sleep from the b...

That’s really super sad, my heart breaks for this kid. Babies need love and connection to develop a secure attachment. Babies need to be held. It’s a fact of life.

He is a good snuggle. Although, Sunny Cat the new bestie, is the best snuggle.

Mine turns two next month and I have absolutely no idea how to stop
7,311,115
mommit
I did the same but i think the only thing that helped me is that I have a thumb sucker. He replaced my boob with his thumb when he needs comfort and that's what allowed him to sleep.
7,311,116
mommit
Same.
7,311,117
mommit
Love and connection happen during and outside of sleep hygiene too.
7,311,118
mommit
Holding a baby 18 hours a day for weeks or months is not safe. You would feel worse for my baby if I had smothered him when I passed out holding him on the couch or if we had been hit one of the times I swerved I to oncoming traffic from sleep deprivation.
7,311,119

Omg I love it lol I have some of those little and bigger cats too, we have a sequin fox version as well

Are you a sahm? Doesn’t the milk supply drop after they start eating solids? My baby is only a few months so I don’t know how this works

Mine is 11 weeks and I am trying to figure out how to help her fall asleep without nursing. How does it work for naps? Or when you're out? I don't mind nursing her to sleep at night but pretty confused bht he naps thing. And this means that my husband can't put her to sleep on his own :(
7,311,124
mommit
Nice. Always hate when we have to walk past these things in the store. So much guilt tripping if we don’t get one or half a dozen.
7,311,125
mommit
Yep ... me too
7,311,126
mommit
Your supply will adjust to match however much baby is drinking.
7,311,127
mommit
It definitely drops a lot, it will just follow what your baby needs. So my daughter feeds at night and for nap time which means my milk is still there but I don't hear her swallowing loads like when she was relying on it for food, it's more just comfort at this point I think.
7,311,128

Our last trip to the grocery store involved a meltdown over one of those $20 supermarket barbies that would be $8 at Walmart. She had already picked a mini sven (from frozen, if you have kids I’m sure you know lol) from that exact tower w those stuffed animals and then her dad made the mistake of lingering in front of ...

Ok and do you have to pump
7,311,130
mommit
Not OP obvs but did something similar, I went back to work full time when my son was a year old, I never pumped because my intention was to wean him. He continued to nurse for another year! I think the supply varies for some but I think because my son was feeding at bedtime, once or twice during the night, and in the m...

I had great grandparents-neighbors growing up. They had a son with a family, but the dude was a dick and only came by when he wanted something. The old man would walk his dog by everyday and we’d run outside to see him and the pup. We’d hang out at their house sometimes and visit. They were the nicest. When I was a tee...

I always feel bad for old people who don’t have children or grandchildren and I genuinely don’t know why. I used to work at an old folks home and I know when my little dude is born and Covid makes it safe enough again I will be taking him to go meet some of the elders I worked with
7,311,134
mommit
Or just in general! The lady who lived two doors down had children, but they lived very far away. I would shovel her walk and visit her, she would make me cookies which were absolutely delicious. She gave us matryoshka dolls for Christmas one year. She was lovely. I moved far away for college and I remember hanging o...

We live in a condo complex with many older people and my 3 year old has always been extremely social. He makes friends with all of the elderly, holds their hands and gives them hugs(all before covid of course). I love watching them interact because the older people LOVE it.
7,311,136
mommit
My neighbor growing up was the same. She was a very old Mexican grandmother, but all her grandchildren were far away and only her youngest son was living with her. I always hung out with her, she cooked with me and even when I was sick she watched me and cooked me some of the *meanest* soup I have ever tasted. S...

Our neighbour LOVES my daughter, she's been spoiling her every holiday for 5 years now. I usually make her and her son a tray of treats. Just have to finish some cookies today then we're gonna take them over.

This reminds me of my daughters great grandma! She’s your typical genuinely sweet grandma type.

There's an older man who lives next door to us. He has one son but no grandchildren and it looks as though he may never get grandchildren. He adores our daughter. Just a little bit ago he came over and brought her a sparkly snowman and she loves it. We take him baked goods that we make or meals sometimes. We go over to...

This makes me think of our neighbor and our kids called her grandma. She had children and grandchildren, but they were all estranged and wouldn't have anything to do with her. I found it incredibly sad because she was such a wonderful and amazing person. I've never met anyone like her, she was so sweet and kind, always...

I have an adopted grandmother. Her daughter was friends with my parents (well, still is) and when I was 2 we moved to the town where my adopted grandmother lived and she just took us all under her wing. Especially as my mum had lost her mum by this point and my dad's parents lived in the big city we had just left. I re...

As someone who has gone through years of infertility, it was so difficult. With current advances most people can have a child in one way or another be it with donor material, embryo adoption, regular adoption etc - but with older generation those weren’t options and I feel so much for them. Before infertility I was for...

We moved into a new home last year and we've struck up the same type of friendship with them. My son made them a Christmas ornament which made them so happy. I told them my son thinks of them as bonus grandparents, which made their day. Today they brought over a firetruck toy that my son is absolutely in love with. ...

We just moved into our new house about year ago and our neighbor is just like this! Single older lady, adores my girls. We frequently exchange baked goods! Love it .

I have pseudo grandparents. I've cat sat for them for 10 years. They married later in life and never had any children. They are super kind and always send me some money for the boys' college funds. I love them and I'm so sad we haven't been able to see them this year.

Yes!! Our neighbors are like our son's bonus grandparents. They will come sit out on their back deck during the summer to watch our son play baseball and run around in the backyard and chat with us. Especially with the pandemic, they haven't been able to see their own grandkids and we haven't seen much of our parents s...

The retirement home near us used to have a group of preschoolers come and do activities (before COVID). We used to go and make cards and other things for residents.

That’s what I’m thinking too! She had limited time left, why not enjoy the little things?
7,311,162

Exactly! I always wonder that like if they are without children because of choice or not. So many women didn’t have the options we have today when it comes to having children!

Our local music playgroup met at a nursing home every Thursday, and it was pure magic. We did trick or treating there and Christmas caroled in the halls, and every kid seemed to have a few special friends. I miss our visits there!

Until they grow old, thus this focus on grand children. They are on average happier during the time when the kids are growing up, and sadder after. It evens out like that.

7,311,174

I always thought that women's sizing made zero sense until I had a kid. Different brands size their months differently. My son was in 18 mo clothing starting at 7-8 months because of his length but they are baggy on him because he is a string bean. I have no clue how they figure these things out.
7,311,175

We pulled out some stored onesies from #1 for impending baby #2. We have a gerber onesie that is labeled 3 - 9 months.

Pretty much. My son is in 3T tops, and 18 mo. Bottoms.

My 3,5 year old is currently wearing an 18 month jacket and it's still on the larger side.
7,311,179
mommit
I feel this way switching from 18months to 2t. Some brands don’t have 24 months. So my son is stuck in really baggy pants (2t) or practically leggings (18 months).
7,311,180
mommit
My 3 week old is too big for newborn size onesies and leggings, but she’s swimming in 0-3 month sizes. Bundling her to go out in the cold for appointments has been interesting. She’s in the 95th percentile for length but she’s not long enough for anything with feet attached. Explain that please!
7,311,181
mommit
My kid will be 4 in April and the other day I dressed her in a shirt that turned out to be 18-month size. She's a smaller kid but not TINY. None of it makes sense.
7,311,182
mommit
It doesn’t get much better! When my (average sized) son was in kindergarten he was still wearing 24mo socks.
7,311,183
mommit
Mines the opposite. My then 2 yr old could fit in a newborn vest. It was tight but it could zip all the way. I have tiny kids apparently. My soon to be 18 month old has multiple outfits that are sized for 6 month olds
7,311,184

My daughter is somehow just now growing into some 12 month Svaha onesies but already getting a little big for her Svaha pajamas. At least stay consistent within your brand!
7,311,185

Same! There's some pajamas he's been wearing since 3 months (he's 7 months old) and some other 6 month stuff he's bursting out of. It's kind of annoying!
7,311,186
mommit
The real answer is that baby clothes have to be produced so cheaply for the desired price point that there is basically no quality control and manufacturers cut corners (like cutting multiple pieces at once which makes each piece in the pile slightly different sizes) to increase speed of manfacture amd maximize revenue...
7,311,187
mommit
Mine too! His onsies are 3 month but 3month pants and shirts are way to small. He fits in 6month everything else but 6 month onsies are too big. I think it's because his arms and legs are so long.
7,311,188
mommit
Literally. I have triplets and they all weighed basically the same as babies but somehow two of them were always a size ahead of the other even though they looked the same in size and even weighed close to each other. Never made any sense to me.

It never gets better though! I’ve tried on the exact same things before (jeans, tops) same brand same size just in a different color and have one fit and one not! What size do I wear? Who the heck knows?!?
7,311,193
mommit
Gerber runs SOOO tiny. My baby can’t fit into their clothes and he’s 7 months, but he can fit carters onesies fine, and is starting to wear 12 month already. He’s in the 80th percentile for his height.

My kid is just coming up on 6 months. I put her in a pair of 12 month jammies the other day and I'll be damned if they didn't fit!

This. Mines in 6-9, 12, and 2t. The f@$%?
7,311,197

Yeah, my 16 month old wears 6-9 month clothes and 12 month clothes. There's even an 18 month dress that she wears! It's so strange. She is tiny (preemie), but still. Just put the pounds on there. SO much easier when shopping.

My daughter has a pair of pants that are 3T. They are slightly smaller than her 18M pants.
