8 weeks, almost 9 weeks old, and my baby is sleeping through the night… eh hem “sleeping”.
For anyone who feels like their baby is broken and not sleeping through the night.. i gotchu. Even though he is gaining weight steadily and feeding great during the day… it is STILL VERY normal to wake at least 1-2 times to feed at this age (formula babes may get a little longer stretch). My kid.. still loves to snack/eat every 2 hours-ish, so here we are!
I question every night if i have insomnia? But i am just chalking it up to mom syndrome of looking through pictures, online shopping, and netflixing for hours 🫣
Regardess, im surviving. We are surviving. EVERYTHING is fine! 🫠#newbornlife #newbornbaby #secondbaby #momsover30 #fyp #foryoupage #breastfeeding #breastfed #breastfeedingjourney #fourthtrimester #postpartumjourney #postpartumbody #2kids

·16h ago Odd behavior to kick mom’s down when they’re down if you ask me but that’s not a me problem because I have ✨ boundaries ✨. Please don’t go looking for the original creator and dog pile, I’m here addressing the larger issue. To the thousands of women who messaged me over the years reminding me that my content has made them feel less shamed, less lonely, less crazy, less guilty, less of a failure.. I will continue to honor our journey to healing publicly so you can continue to feel seen in your privacy. #womensupportingwomen #womenshealth #mentalhealth #postpartumjourney #postpartumdepression #postpartumanxiety #postpartumrage #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodunfiltered #fyp #relatable #momof2 #momsover30

·2d ago I now understand why moms schedule photoshoots every year bc it’s the only time we actually get decent photos of ourselves with the kids (I am tasking Caleb to do better). Huge thanks to @Meg🍁 SAHM • TTC who reached out and asked to take our photos. She was literally an angel who directed us with so much play! I love how she was able to catch candid photos, interact with our kudos (despite a few meltdowns), and made it fun for everyone. A super pro she is, if you’re in the Salem/ Portland area highly recommend! #familyphotos #familyootd #familyoutfit #familyportrait #familyphotoshoot #familyphotography #momanddad #toddlerlife #biracial #fyp #relatable #momsover30

·4d ago The one thing I won’t miss is the confidence people had to tell me I am a terrible mom, miserable, my kids deserved better, I piss them off; I don’t deserve to be a mom, I’m a failure, and I’m weak because I decided to openly share my very REAL journey with postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage. Thank you endlessly to the people who showed up on my side and understood that despite how challenging it has been for me that they saw the absolute joy and love I have my children and role of motherhood. To the trolls who couldn’t handle a little reality in their curated feeds.. I genuinely hope you find the root cause of your judgements, hate, and confidence to shame because YOU TOO deserve to be free from the pain that keeps you from your compassion. #postpartumjourney #postpartundepression #postpartumlife #motherhoodunfiltered #motherhoodunplugged #momsover30 #momlife #momtok #fyp #relatable #viral

·1w ago Just a girl surviving with lichen sclerosis that went undiagnosed for 25 years because over 10 OBGYN’s in my lifetime thought I was too “young and healthy” to have anything wrong.. and it was just chronic yeast and BV infections, even though medications didn’t work 😬🙄 oh and because of all my previous doctors negligence, labias have been reabsorbed due to scar tissue 👍#lichensclerosus #lichensclerosis #womenshealth #womenshealthcare #womensupportingwomen #obgyn #vulva #womenshealthmatters #momsover30 #autoimmunedisease #fyp #relatable #viral

·1-15Again, if you feel most comfortable going to the ER in this situation PLEASE do! We were confident with continuing at home monitoring with a medical provider from the children’s hospital on the phone BECAUSE he had no symptoms of major head trauma or internal bleeding (from the medical provider themselves). Once again, if you don’t feel confident in assessing yourself, yes go to the ER, urgent care, or your peds office. We know how incredibly packed the ER is, especially this time of year. We did not want to crowd the space knowing we didn’t have any emergency presenting symptoms and bc we have gone to the ER a couple times we knew it was going to be HOURS in the waiting room which exposesus to all the viruses and germs before getting seen. We trusted our intuition and are so privileged to have on-call medical providers to help us in the most thourough way l at every hour of the day. We also know how incredibly fortunate the way khai fell truly saved him from a completely different outcome . #toddler #accidentprone #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #staircase #19monthsold #pediatrician #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodunfiltered #fyp #momanddad #parenting #parentingfail #momfail #momguilt

·1-15IG / YT / 👻: @ ustheremingtons. Still in disbelief my entire diary of healing in real time with YOU will be erased. Thank YOU for consuming my content with so much care and love. And while I know I wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I know that WE moved the needle forward in destigmatizing and removing shame around topics that really needed a collective shift: postpartum depression, anxiety, rage, generational trauma, mental health, biracial relationships, parenthood. I showed up on your screen broken and YOU healed me in the most magical ways. Thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to stay home with my children. Thank YOU for giving me the privilege to seek mental health help that I couldn’t afford in the past. Thank YOU for helping me and MILLIONS of others feel so not alone in the dark days. Thank YOU for helping me guide myself back into my body and feel at home in it. I’ll miss you guys here, but I promise to continue to show up in the SAME way on the other apps. Our work is FAR from done, see you over there 💜 #tiktokban #motherhood #postpartumjourney #postpartumrecovery #postpartumdepression #postpartumanxiety #momsover30 #momof2 #mothedhoodunplugged #motherhoodunfiltered #fyp #relatable #relatablecontentonly @Rep.

·1-12When I tell you I have never seen my kids in so much fear 😭😭 here is what was shared with us after this type of accident. Obviously goes without saying please consult your doctor first! Watch Your Child Closely for 2 Hours: • Observe your child closely during the first 2 hours following the injury. • Encourage your child to lie down and rest until all symptoms have cleared. Mild headache, mild dizziness and nausea are common. • Allow your child to sleep if he wants to, but keep him nearby. • After 2 hours, awaken your child. Check that he is alert and knows who you are. Also, check that he can talk and walk normally. Diet - Start with Clear Fluids: • Offer only clear fluids to drink, in case he vomits. • Return to regular diet after 2 hours. • Exception: Babies can continue breast feeding or formula. Pain Medicine: • For pain relief, give acetaminophen every 4 hours Or ibuprofen every 6 hours as needed. (See Dosage Table.) • Exception: Avoid until 2 hours have passed from injury without any vomiting. Also, don't continue pain medicine more than 3 days without seeing your child's PCP. • Caution: Never give aspirin to children and teens. (Reason: always increases risk of bleeding.) Special Precautions For 1 Night: • Mainly, sleep in same room as your child the first night. • Reason: If a complication occurs, you will recognize it because your child will first develop a severe headache, vomiting, confusion or other change in their behavior. Optional: if you are worried, awaken your child once during the night. • Check the ability to walk and talk. (For infants, check the ability to become fully alert and move both arms and legs normally.) • After 24 hours, return to a normal routine. Expected Course: • Most head trauma only causes a scalp injury. • The swelling may take a week to resolve. • The scalp tenderness at the site of impact usually clears in 3 days. Call Back If • Severe headache or crying persists after 20 minutes of ice pack • Vomiting occurs 2 or more times • Your child becomes difficult to awaken or confused • Walking or talking becomes difficult • Headache lasts more than 24 hours • Scalp tenderness lasts more than 3 days • Your child becomes worse Soft Spot - Concerns About: • The soft spot (fontanel) is present from birth until 12 to 18 months of age. It's covered and protected by a thick layer of fibrous tissue. • Injuries near the soft spot do not cause any additional complications. #toddler #accidentprone #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #staircase #19monthsold #3yearsolds #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodunfiltered #fyp #momanddad #parenting #parentingfail #momfail #momguilt
