J has cradle cap bad all of a sudden. What can I do for it? Anything? I used this special shampoo for cradle cap and it worked wonders. After two washes her cradle cap was completely gone. It's called Mustela Foam Shampoo. I highly recommend. They sell it at Target, Amazon, and Buy Buy Baby (probably other places too but those are just the ones I know for sure).

It's so cold. Like 12 degrees. J hands are so cold. I have him in a onesie and sleeper but wonder if he needs socks underneath too. It's 70 in the house but it feels cold. I think dh is going to make a fire.

For cradle cap, I slather coconut oil all over their head. Let it soak in for 20 minutes or so, use a comb, then wash it all out.

So my week wasn’t too bad. I kept busy at work which made the days go by quickly. P did great at daycare. She’s not eating a whole lot though, so most evenings she cluster feeds to make up for it. Her naps there have been hit or miss, although one day she napped for 4 hours 😮.
Last night we decided to put her in the crib for the first time and she did great! It’s weird not having her in my room now though.
DS turned 3 on Tuesday. We had a little birthday party for him last weekend with just our families.
I think that’s pretty much it. I need to go catch up on the other threads now!

I think j is in the 3rd leap. He is a grumpy cat...man! Hedoesnt want to sit he doesn't want to play he doesn't want to sleep . Was the 3rd leap bad for anyone else? How long did it last? It says we are 2 days away but I think we started yesterday.

jexxa, I’m glad your first week back wasn’t too bad. Happy birthday to your DS! Yay to P rocking it in the crib! Did she sleep as long as she usually did in the RnP? I’m stressed about getting M to transition. king26, yeah I feel like leap 3 sucks. It says we have only been in it a couple days but I think she started earlier than that. I’m hoping we end it soon. She has been a grump too

jt2378 she did! She fell asleep on me around 9 but I was being selfish and wanted cuddles so I didn’t actually put her in the crib until 10:30, she stayed asleep and woke up around 7:15. Tonight I’m going to put her in the crib as soon as she falls asleep, then eventually I’ll start trying to put her down right before so that she learns to fall asleep in it. king26 we just finished leap 3. It didn’t seem too terrible but it also coincided with her starting daycare so it was hard to tell. Leap 4 is the one I’m not looking forward to, it looks like a beast 😣

The third leap sucks so far. R is more fussy and doesn’t want to nap.
R has been consistently sleeping from 7pm to 4-5am. When she starts fussing then I have her lay on my chest until 6:30am when my alarm goes off. I go in and out of sleep, but it’s sort of created a pattern where her first bottle starts around 7am. I thought maybe she’d start sleeping until 6:30am on her own, but so far it hasn’t worked. I can’t imagine starting my work day off at 4:30am, though. Although, I’m tempted to see if she’d go back to bed and then I could exercise/shower before work. But, I’d probably wake the 3.5 year old up and there’d go my alone time.

So far it’s been a failure for naps but maybe I should try at night.

I figure once we get night time down, and she starts taking consistent naps at daycare, then we’ll attempt crib naps at home.

Sigh. I thought we had gotten into a new routine, sleep wise bc he did similar things two nights in a row but tonight is a total crapshoot. He fell asleep at 6, I was thinking it was a little early but maybe it would be like the 4:30pm day- nope, just a half hour nap. Ok then. Fell asleep again at 9- this has GOT to be it... nope up after 30min.... I don’t even want to put him down now bc I’m convinced if he sleeps on my chest he’ll stay asleep and if I put him down he will be up in half an hour.... sigh.
And DH and I are just arguing nonstop. We are in such a bad place right now it’s so frustrating. I tell him the same thing every time and it’s like... nothing is changing. And tonight’s his night off and just seeing him lay on the couch is pissing me off, I just wish he’d go away right now. Ugh. I hate feeling this way.

Awww addymac I hope things get better with your dh. This part is so hard when the baby isn't in a consistent sleeping pattern and you're both tired and frustrated. It will get easier. I feel similarly sometimes with my dh that I am always either cooking, cleaning, or tending to the kids whereas he seems to have alot of down time on his phone that he doesn't acknowledge having. I feel the same way on sleeping too. Baby H was in a solid pattern of going down swaddled around 8:30 to 9 and sleeping until 2 or 3. Tonight I gave him to dh around 9:30 and he's been up at 11 when I fed him and is currently feeding right now. I'm so confused. It better be a growth spurt.

Leap 3 for us was rough and we are in leap 4 and it's...challenging to say the least. I guess since A is a terrible sleeper anyways it's not a totally shock to my system. But I just wish this baby would sleep longer than 2 hour stretches. Even just for one damn night.
Or nap properly in the day so I could nap too. Ugh

Sorry addymac. It's never good for a marriage when one feels they are carrying the brunt of the weight. Have you had a serious talk with him about it?

Ugh addymac, sorry things are so rough with yh. I feel like that with MH a lot since M was born. Having a newborn is way harder on a marriage than I expected. Obviously the lack of sleep doesn't help anything. I hope N gives you a break with that soon.

I’m sorry addymac, I do feel resentful some nights at MH too when I’m holding and feeding M every single night and he can relax when DD1 goes down. I also feel like we will never have a consistent routine or I will ever get her in her crib. I mean I know someday but it’s just so tiring and hard to get there sometimes. Big hugs

Thanks, ladies. We had another talk- it’s frustrating because we keep having them over and over again. I even brought ho things like the damn laundry basket and he looked legitimately puzzled over it even being an issue 🙄 but we talked and he got up with N last night. Of course the kid slept from 11-4am. And it’s 8:30 and he is still passed out. 😒 I swear this kid loves to sleep for his dad. And I kept waking up Bc my boobs fucking hurt.
How do you ladies who have babies who are sleeping through the night or at least longer stretches deal with the boob pain? Do I just need to stop pumping if I wake up from the pain? And just power through the pain a few nights?

addymac when D started sleeping longer stretches at first I'd wake up at her previous wake time with sore boobs. I too was wondering what to do.. I didn't do a thing and in a few days it was like my boobs regulated and it stopped being painful. I think pumping at those moments wont giveyour boobs the right sign.. you can hand express a bit to take the pressure off? Then again what do i know... I am the one whose supply tanked to where her daughter wasnt gaining weight no more without realizing 🙄

Sorry to read so many of us are struggling with our H's. We had/have a lot of issues as well. Some are simply because we are both tired and adjusting to our new life with 3 still. But sometimes I feel MH is just so clueless! Or lazy..? He can just be such a slacker.. which was annoying before but now really pisses me off. And tis like when we talk about things it goes better for a couple days and he really steps up but then falls back in old annoying habits. Urgh. Doesnt help that I am just having a hard time due to the ppd/ppa crap and everything is too much often. Sending out hugs all around and i hope that we all find a new balance in our marriage soon.

We had a rough evening. J is cranky. He went down to bed at 830 which is normal but woke up at 9, ate a little, then puked everywhere and was up. He was crying , mad, etc. I was upset , dh started complaining about the swaddle and we got into a fight. I ended up putting j in a sleep sack and he did well in it. He kept hitting the sides of the bassinet but he slept well. He just went to bed super late and is grumpy again tofay.

Daphne has been hitting the sides of her bassinet as well ahej she isnt sleeping deep - now they are soft and she cant hurt herself but I still wonder whether this means she needs to move into a crib already. Lenght wise the bassinet is still plenty big tho - and i really dont want to move her into her crib yet as it wont fit next to my bed and I am not ready yet for her to sleep in a different room overnight. Besides, isn't it recommended to sleep in the same room for 6mo at least? MH and I have had so many stupid fights these past months. It s ridiculous sometimes what we bicker about. Often it is either because we misunderstand eachother (we really got to work on our communication skills when tired or frustrated or when baby cries!) Or because we differ in opinion on what would be the best to do when it comes to little D. Also def something we re working on! I need to stop trying to micromanage everything .. and MH needs to be less stubborn and hard headed s sometimes I actually may have a better clue or just know better. LOL. Life with baby brings a lot more then just poopy daipera for sure

Life with baby brings a lot more then just poopy daipera for sure Yeah I’m also on the fence about moving her out of my room. Everyone is different as far as comfort level. I’m anxious to get her in the crib because the longer she doesn’t sleep in it, it seems like the transition just gets harder but there is usually a 4 month sleep regression so part of me feels like I should wait till after that. This is also the age of highest SIDs risk so that is on my mind too.
