FRUSTRATED!!
Ok so I just need to vent so bear with me. This past holiday weekend me and hubby and our 5 month old were headed out of town for the weekend so we asked MIL to watch our puppy for us. As we were headed there to drop the puppy off hubby suggested we leave baby boy with his mom so we could run to the store and get dog food and some other items we needed before hitting the road. I completely understand why he suggested it due to us of course running late as it was and if we could run in and out it would be easier. Now I felt a little uneasy about this due to the fact LO has only ever been away from me for about 2 hours with my mom and on top of that his mom is a bit scatter brained (she literally burns boiling water because she forgets) but to appease my husband I agreed. When we left her house she said she was waiting on some tenants to come sign a lease but that she would let them know when to come so I assumed it would be after we came back from the store. She also told us she would watch the baby if we got like 6 cases of beer for her dad thats a alcoholic so she doesn't have to go to the store so of course my husband said thats fine but that made the trip to the store longer. We get back to her house maybe 1 hour later and when we pull up we see a truck and im like shoot her tenants are here. well as I walk in quietly not to disturb her meeting with them I notice this random ass woman holding my baby WITHOUT A MASK ON!!! So I am livid at this point because why would she let this stranger hold my 5 month old during a PANDEMIC? Mind you she wouldn't allow us to visit her until recently because she was so afraid of catching covid. Sorry for the long post but I just want to make sure I'm not overreacting. Plus my baby hasn't even got his immunizations yet due to the doctors office being closed.

First food
We tried purées today! She loved the sweet potatoes. Does anyone have any good resources for what to try the first couple of weeks? We are going to start BLW when we get the okay at her next doctor’s appointment on the 20th. I still would like to do purées every now and then though.

Anyone’s baby roll back to front but not off tummy?
She’s rolled off her tummy a total of 6 times and I’m convinced it’s been luck not her strategically figuring it out. Yet she rolls back to front (which is supposedly harder) just fine. I DONT GET ITShe’s turning 6 months in a week but really 5 months as she was early

light bleeding after sex
Anyone have light bleeding after sex? Read it can be from uterine cramping (if you orgasm) or an irritated cervix. Just wondering if I’m alone in this!

Fighting naps?
Does anyone else have a 5 month old that fights naps? And I mean physically fights. My 5 month old kicks, screams, flails his arms when it’s nap time. I usually have to pin his arms to the side and hold his legs to me to calm him down, all while he fights to get free. It’s so upsetting. He usually calm down and is asleep within 10 minutes, but those 10 minutes are ALWAYS a fight and I worry it’s traumatizing to him. It certainly is for me. I dread nap time. I watch his wake windows, I put him for a nap at the first sign of tiredness, and I follow a nap routine. I change him, put him in a sleep sack, and read a story. He’s fine through all of this and then the fighting begins. It’s almost like it’s part of the routine too. His room is dark (I covered the windows) and there is a white noise machine. The weird thing he doesn’t do this at night. He falls asleep pretty easily at night and wakes only once or twice to eat. I’m sure part of the problem is he’s overtired because he will only sleep 30 min max at a time. But like I said I nap him at the first signs of tiredness (usually 1.5 to 2 hours after last nap). What am I doing wrong? Is this just normal?

So proud😁
Having a child with special needs it such a hard thing to deal with in itself. My daughter goes to physical therapy, occupational therapy, sees a cardiologist for her heart condition, has had a surgery on her intestines and she has frequent weight checks because she isn't growing at a steady rate. I was so worried about her hitting milestones and prepared myself for her being behind but she has been right on with her milestones so far! I can honestly say that I leave her alone on her floor mat for a majority of the day. I reposition her and do exercises. Put her on her tummy and give her books and toys to look at and she has done a great job learning to roll over and now we are working on crawling!

6 months and still in survival mode
Anyone still struggling to manage baby’s sleep? My petit babe is 6 months next week, we see dr then too, fingers crossed on the green light to sleep train. She hasn’t been ready to sleep train and may need another month. We were hit hard with 4 mo sleep regressions which took 7 weeks to lift, slightly. Now it’s teething symptoms and 6 month regressions, she continues to rely on me to fall and stay asleep. As much as I enjoy snuggling with my precious, can hardly wait to have her sleep in her crib. We’re in our 40’s, exhausted. Feel free to share sleep training methods that work for you. Come January, I’ll be putting her in full time child care and worry that they won’t accept a non sleep trained infant. Thank you!

23 weeks and can’t stay on her own
I have a 23 weeks old baby girl that cannot stand to be left alone for more than 2 minutes during the day! She cries until I pick her up.This makes it impossible for me to do almost anything! If I do for example, some cleaning, after 10 minutes she is screaming and I am exhausted .. so I pick her up. Than I have to nurse her to calm down. This is like this since she was born. I didn’t think much of it but now at 5 months I am starting to think that I have to do something about it Side note: She is sleeping the night in her room no problem. Help!

6 month not sleeping thru?
Anyone else 6 month old not sleeping thru? Mine has never even come close. He goes to bed around 6pm eats at 9:30-12-2-5. Up for good around 6:30. Is this crazy at 6 months to still be up so gosh darn much??

Any babies babbling words?? My baby has been saying hey, hi, yeah and mum for about a week now over and over! I know it’s early and he probably has no idea but are any other babies doing this? He turned 5 months on the 22nd.
