All the safe sleep information I was given has indicated that the risk of sleep related accidental death is vastly reduced by age 1. Im sure it’s not impossible, but it’s very unlikely.
7,313,002
mommit
Wait until the child is a toddler. My youngest is infamous.
7,313,003
mommit
Ha, wish my 3YO would remember how to do that, they wake me up to move over for them every night
7,313,004
mommit
Lol same! My husband is the most violent twitchy sleeper that ever lived! He’ll whack me across the head or sucker punch a glass of water off the nightstand. Lol a baby in the bed wouldn’t stand a chance.
7,313,005
mommit
Yeah we don't cosleep because both DH and I have some absolutely wild sleep tendencies. It is not safe. The only exception has been when my kid was sick. In that case I kicked DH and all our blankets and pillows out of bed to minimize the risks involved. Which might seem like overkill but honestly even that was a risk.

We were a cranky family. It’s not like there was an option.

Dont worry. It is normal up to 6 months if they are 24/7 glued to you..but 6-12 months they should start detaching a bit and taking other things to supplemnt the security they felt by your body...my kiddo reached 12m mark and still acts like a newborn that needs constant carrying in arms
7,313,008
mommit
Right? And they had the gall to tell another commenter that they were being a mom-shaming attachment parenting mother for stating that it would be nice if people let parents make choices without societal pressure to make their kids sleep through the night from birth. Reddit can downvote me all they like, but this is j...

Some babies just do this. Out of my four kids I had one that just never slept. Turns out baby had some enlarged tonsils and adenoids that made it hard to actually sleep.
7,313,010
mommit
It’s a very broad generalization to say that babies should only need to feed once after 3-6 months. If you had it that easy with two kids, just thank your lucky stars and move on.
7,313,011
mommit
This is nonsense. Not all babies only need 1 feed after 6 months. It is baby dependant and also less likely if mother is breastfeeding.

Her second was/is just a high needs baby and she creates social media content. She didn’t expect it to turn into what it did. I think she’s categorized as a micro-influencer, but this video was seen by millions and picked up by multiple websites. I haven’t shared her name yet (not that anyone has asked before now) be...

This is probably it. I hated it to be honest, and after falling pregnant it was super painful so that contributed to weaning him. His sleep got SIGNIFICANTLY better after weaning, now he sleeps through the night at 2.5
7,313,015
mommit
Ugh that sounds like it was scary. We had him on formula at a day old to keep him out of the nicu (blood sugar problems). So that decision was made for me by the circumstances. I made myself feel better by special ordering a particularly expensive formula. The other day I saw him eat some cat hairball off the floor. A...
7,313,016
mommit
Ugh, yeah I had no idea how common it was. I really wish the breast feeding class I took while pregnant had covered this stuff. It’s a huge oversight. I had no idea a dentist was the right professional and I’m mad all those others didn’t suggest even talking to a dentist. Which is why I now shout it from the rooftops...
7,313,017
mommit
very much this, when I'm awakened it takes me forever to go back to sleep. I don't know if mom is feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed after a night like that but dad seems unaffected!
7,313,018
mommit
Yeah, as every family is different and every child is different what works for you might not work for me. I think if I was sleeping apart from baby I’d have trouble falling asleep, I really like sleeping with someone next to me. Being woken to feed doesn’t bother me much. For example, last night I was woken 4 times t...

I coslept with both my babies. One is ebf and the other exclusively formula fed. The bond with both is the same. I understand your grief but you didn’t miss out on anything
7,313,020
mommit
I’m so, so sorry you didn’t have the experience you had hoped for and imagined. You are so strong and should be so proud of how hard you tried, knowing when it was the right time to change your approach too. Bf is just a drip in the pond of all the magical experiences with baby, I sincerely hope you can experience all ...
7,313,021
mommit
*You* did exactly that with your above comment.
7,313,022
mommit
But...wasn’t that what you just did? “This kind of sleep is bad for everyone.” You’re judging their choices without even knowing what kind of sleep the alternative is. Your way isn’t any better than hers or mine. And it is pretty fucking magical when parents get to make choices without societal pressure, even if that...
7,313,023
mommit
That was not my intent - we can all make our own choices as to what’s best for our family. Calling breastfeeding on demand being a human pacifier is just gross. And there is incredible pressure to get baby to sttn even if it doesn’t feel right or isn’t right for your family to do sleep training.

There IS an age where frequently disrupted night sleep becomes detrimental to development, though. https://www.child-encyclopedia.com/sleeping-behaviour/according-experts/consequences-short-sleep-duration-or-poor-sleep-young-children Night weaning and weaning are not synonymous and it’s disingenuous to make that ass...

ma'am idgaf. That baby is over a year old. And mom is clearly not comfortable with it if she's documenting it and showing the whole world. that's a cry for help. That woman wants sleep.

I'm sorry, that must really suck to go through. I hope if you're still doing this you're able to get some good nights in soon.

Ah, sorry you lost a friend :( hope it all comes round! I was just curious about the context, thanks for sharing! And I personally can't wait to get my babe vaccinated so no worries there!

mommit
I am a nightmare when I don't sleep well, so I think not co-sleeping was probably the right choice for me lol. Even if for no other reason. I had to for a limited time bc my first had reflux and had to sleep basically sitting up on me. It was awful and I swore from day 1 my next would be in his crib. Thank God he didn'...

Oh I can totally spot it from a mile away! With my second, the IBCLC was informed about ties. She checked after the birth and said my daughter didn’t. After she left, I checked and saw them. We called her back in later and I had her check again and may have pointed them out. She said I was right, apologized for missing...

Aww thank you. That means a lot to me.
7,313,034

That is so sweet of you. Thank you, truly. He’s 3 now and an absolute sweetheart, and is clearly securely attached if you go by how many boundaries are getting tested lol
7,313,035
mommit
at that age, that sweet baby is not breast feeding on demand, that's what newborns and infants do, they're pacifying themselves and haven't been trained. At over a year old they have the ability to sleep through the night. And I am not an advocate of CIO or sleep training at 5 months or any of that, but every 2 hours...

I said what I said.
7,313,037
mommit
Exactly heck, The risk of driving fatigued is massive in and of itself. Not to mention that in my own experience I’m orders of magnitude better at parenting when I’ve had a reasonable amount of sleep (doesn’t even have to be a full amount but enough to function and be present).
7,313,038
mommit
THANK YOU!!!!
7,313,039
mommit
Okay then that would be a situation where mom is no longer comfortable continuing breastfeeding. That’s why I said, if mom and baby are both comfortable then there’s no reason to wean. Don’t know why you had so much hostility, I wasn’t even replying to you lol
7,313,040
mommit
my son is 7 now so it's been about a year and a half of actually sleeping. he started sleeping through the night in his own bed when he was 5 and a half. yes, it was an extreme case but it does happen.
7,313,041
mommit
I can’t believe it’s looking like this month! I have two kids, one is vaccinated, and the other we are waiting for the 6m-5y!
7,313,042
mommit
My son's sleep was crap in the beginning and things only got better when we started co-sleeping, so it was more to actually get some sleep. Somewhere after 1 year though it all went downhill though, and he was super attached to the boob and needed it to fall and stay asleep.
7,313,043
mommit
My son’s tongue tie was anterior too! Not sure about his lip tie but that was the more minor of the two and may not have needed correction on its own. After our son’s frenectomy, his dad and cousin both got them too. So did my neighbor’s baby.
7,313,044
mommit
The child in the video had medical issues that made it hard for them to sleep properly at the time. Something with their tonsils and adenoids. But go on, keep spouting mom-shaming bullshit as if you know everything. The judgmental people on this post are just so disheartening. It just proves that no matter what a mom...
7,313,045

If mum and baby are happy then what is the problem exactly? You don’t hear about teenagers sleeping with mum and breastfeeding to sleep so I don’t think there’s any problem to worry about.

i loved my bedside bassinet and pulling my newborn onto my chest every 2 hours when she would awaken...but i was exhausted to the point of delirium and it affected my mental health not getting sufficient sleep. So i understand the impulse. then my hubby put her in the crib and she slept 5 hours straight. I realized ...

Oh my, so right there on the tip? I remember being mad at my son’s providers, but for that one, I’d be absolutely furious! That is clearly not normal human anatomy. The function of the tongue is absolutely impeded by a frenulum there! I’ve considered seeing a dentist about mine! Next time I go (man, I need to). I’ll ...

Now THAT I didn't know as the video shows what it shows and there's no context and I've seen this video on several sm sites and this context was never given.

It it not my job to gently educate you into being a better person. You want to play armchair expert in what children and mothers should be doing, you take the risk on getting called out.

Funny thing is, I would expect no less from you. Inability to read a few paragraphs and a “witty” remark just to make sure I know how insignificant I am to you. Textbook for someone that can’t admit they were wrong. I’d say well-played, but we both know it wasn’t.

I did this with my daughters first marker picture that had any semblance of facial features and a distinctive body of sorts instead of a scribbled circle. Unfortunately it was a"mixed Media piece; drywall and ink" titled "Ghost then I made it the art while and we hang/clip her other pictures on it.

Y'all are getting hot nuggets? Mine come luke warm at best.
7,313,069

30 years ago, I would drive down the road with nuggets in my hand hanging out the window to cool them off

My toddler hates food that isn't ice cold I swear. I've picked up the habit of holding her food up to the air conditioner to cool it off. And yes, frequently her meal is also chicken nuggets.

My mom always held my brothers french toast sticks to the vent to cool them off. I have done it with food but more recently i do it to cool off my mask before i put it on (it gets hot cause i put it on the dashboard when i take it off)
