@maternalgroyp @EdwinaPJones I know people hate this but sleeping on the tummy can help with gas issues and stomach pain? If you can be with the baby and monitor
English
For anyone who commented.
I fed the baby grass fed butter and chocolate milk last night.
She slept more soundly than usual until about 1/2am.
A lot of times it’s her belly hurting. I try to give her belly massages to help and change her position.
I feel bad leaving her to cry knowing it’s her belly hurting.

some fun facts about me & sleep: -the longest stretch of sleep I’ve had since 2020 is a single 5 hour stretch and 9 nights I had a 4 hour stretch (yes I know it was 9 times because each one was a documented miracle) -newborn sleep stage is when I get the most sleep (3 hour chunks) -my babies all wake up every 30-90 minutes the entire night arouns 6/7 weeks and onward until at least 12mo. - I have virtually been waking up between 1-3 hours all night, every night, for almost 6 years STRAIGHT. does anyone else out there function on this amount of sleep? Does anyone else have babies that will not sleep longer than that? I’m completely exhausted but no one seems to have good sleeping advice other than leave them to cry. I don’t know what to do …all my other goals seem impossible while being in such a state of constant sleep deprivation.

@EdwinaPJones @opendoorforever Both. Gas drops definitely help some
English
@maternalgroyp @opendoorforever Hm, have you tried the probiotics marketed for colic or gas drops?
English
No we were in a different house for baby 1-2 and new house for baby 3-4
I don’t use WiFi at all due to that concern.
I think it’s mostly that they sleep best in the newborn stage on me, so we do that. And then they get used to being by me- so they need me near them to feel safe for sleep. And I dunno - they just wake up like every hour.
Some people co sleep and say their babies sleep all night !
So I have no idea. Clearly I’m cursed lol
English
@maternalgroyp Youll call me nuts, but have you been in the same house the whole time? It can be weird things like a strong wifi router putting off too much EMF or a hidden mold issue. At least when every baby is doing this.

@elaineac122 @CuriousBunnie12 my bathroom couldn’t fit 1 baby chair let alone 2.
Consider yourself blessed.
I have other responsibilities also, and perhaps I always put my needs last
English
@maternalgroyp @CuriousBunnie12 I raised two little girls in my own, 16 months apart and not one day went by where I couldn’t shower. You make it work and no I never ever left my kids crying (couldn’t do that). Even if I had to bring their baby chairs into the bathroom so they could see me I managed to wash.
English
if you’re a mom on here talking about how you don’t shower for 72 hours straight, can’t change your clothing, can’t perform basic hygiene because your baby is just inconsolably attached at your hip, im going to assume that your husband absolutely hates you
English
@Marisa04886656 @CuriousBunnie12 most of the time I’ve had a baby and a toddler both with sleep issues, and working at night, and responsible for the house.
So it’s usually me always putting my needs last so it never gets done (because the other stuff isn’t done yet)
English
@maternalgroyp @CuriousBunnie12 You can’t shower when your baby is asleep? What the heck?
English
@smalltown_wife @CuriousBunnie12 I’m jk
And yes I lost my mind a long time ago. It’s never coming back.
English
@maternalgroyp @CuriousBunnie12 no honestly not at all, I just absolutely lose my mind if I don’t get my nightly shower lol
English
i don’t think motherhood will be easy at all, but “won’t be able to shower” is not an inevitability
✨🔮Broomstick Rider🔮✨@QuittersInc
@CuriousBunnie12 @Cuuumship Have your baby and revisit this convo
English
@opendoorforever I knoooooooow
But everyone is saying give lots of fatty foods to fill her up to sleep better
And I did avocado the other night but she had bad belly pain from that. So it tried butter last night
English
@maternalgroyp Dairy doesn’t usually help belly problems. Not sure how old they are but maybe some peppermint tea?
English
@theclassicwife @Eigherrrr Eh I gained 60 in 6 months.
I think if you have mental problems it’s pretty easy to.
English
@Eigherrrr It’s just that much weight in like 6 mo is crazy
English
It’s actually easier than you think to gain this much weight
The Classic Wife 🎀@theclassicwife
How do you gain weight this quickly
English
Happy Juneteenth to all the girlies who unfollowed me for saying whites should have white babies.
English
@bringme_cats @CuriousBunnie12 dude I wasn’t performing for nobody
I was drowning every day - and mostly still am LOL
English
@CuriousBunnie12 literally never missed a shower lol people are so performative
English
@CuriousBunnie12 I had 2 under 2 and I don’t think there was a single day I couldn’t shower. I showered when my husband got home from work!
English
@Rightanglenews I mean, you literally can’t see anything from this, just sayin

BREAKING - Footage of Karmelo Anthony stabbing Austin Metcalf has been released, and it shows Karmelo reaching into his bag, pulling out a knife, walking under the tent, and then running away after stabbing Metcalf, completely undermining claims that he acted in “self-defense.”
English
The baby doesn’t cry for 2 minutes every time she wakes up!
She cries for literally 1 second before I’m holding her. She’s literally in bed next to me.
And from all the courses I’ve looked at - a lot of people say it takes about 30-60 minutes of crying at the start of the night for a week and then through the night it’s another 30-60 minutes so in a week you’re actually talking about 10 hours of crying within a week. That’s an insane amount of cortisol in a very short amount of time on a little baby’s system.
English
if a baby wakes and cries for 2 minutes before you get to her, 4 times per night, every day of the week, that's 4 hours of crying per month.
you can sleep train a baby in 1-3 hours TOTAL crying. you'll spare the baby dozens of hours.
also, no. time is not relative.
crying a lot for 1-3 nights is not an eternity.
I'm sorry but your position is irrational.
you are free to embrace that and lean in, but then don't ask for help.

“Time is not relative”
These people are out there and they vote !

I agree with you.
My middle ground is I do midwife system through a hospital i like. I decline all interventions. Stay home as long as possible. Have a birth plan already in everyone’s hands by 32 weeks and a doula and husband to back me up.
My first was a home birth that went bad and so my last 3 we did midwife at the hospital and I’ve been very pleased with them all. :)
English
All natural labor causes the baby mild "distress" in a sense. Your body is literally pushing them through the birth canal. It's completely normal for their heart rate to dip during contractions and rebound during rest. When labor unfolds naturally, this is not a concern.
However - most inductions are completely unnecessary and dangerous because the artificial pitocin they're pumping through women to induce them causes such violent contractions that put the baby in *actual* distress.
Then, that cascade of interventions ends in them unnecessarily cutting the baby out of you and next thing you know you're on social media telling everyone how a C-section "saved your baby's life" when the hospital actually caused it by inducing you.
It's an insane toxic cycle.
Anyway, my longest pregnancy cooked until 43 weeks. And I knew my dates because all babies were planned.
Perfect freebirth. At 41 years old, mind you.
Arielle🪷@Primal_Birth
This is why the section rate is so high. People are like but the baby is in distress and of course you don't want the baby to die so you need a life-saving surgery!!! My sibling in Christ maybe they wouldn't be in distress if we stopped trying to evict them for no reason????

I took a like 3 hour nap I think I’m ok now

My grandma when she got her stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis at like 85 was the same way. Declined treatment. Went home. I lived her with and took care of her. Eventually we got a hospice nurse that came every day.
Me and my brother and mom helped get her to the bathroom, change her, meds, feed her etc. until she passed
That’s the way I want to go !!
English
I just learned that the Catholic widow (of 4 years) aged 87 with 9 children has just gotten a cancer diagnosis and will not be doing any treatment. I always enjoy talking to her. It makes me feel some kind of hope that people can be at peace with God and death enough to make that decision. Like when faced with it there are actually people that accept that fate. I hope I'm like her when I grow up.
English
@CorisandeN I’ve done EC with other babies.
I am not doing EC through the night.
With all due respect - I haven’t slept in 6 years. I cannot handle that right now.
It’s her belly pain. I can tell the difference between her pee/wet sound and her belly pain sound.
English
@maternalgroyp Try taking the diaper off and holding your baby to pee - over the toilet or bathtub/sink.
Often when they wake and squirm & strain it's not because their tummy hurts - but because they need to pee and fight the impulse while wearing diapers.
Babies don't want to pee in diapers.

@gothluannestar they’re talking about me btw
Don’t feel bad. Lots of moms are in our camp

@LarkinWilder Continue the tradition of making it your kids’ problem to figure out
