I’ve seen “Tell me your baby sleeps all night” and “Tell me your baby doesn’t sleep all night”…

And I have a request. I want some data here, if you’ll oblige. If you want to humor me and educate us all, please comment in this format: Babies age in months Bedtime and wake time + average number of wake ups *that require your assistance* between being put down for the night and waking up to start the day Breast feed(EBF) Do breastmilk but only or mostly via bottle (bf) Formula fed(FF) mix of the two(M) Tube fed, NG, Mickey button etc (T) or on solids which includes solids +formula or breastmilk(OS) If you bedshare, roomshare, or have them their own room, If they sleep with a pacifier or not (paci/ no paci) And the ‘name’ for any style of sleep training you have employed IF ANY So mine would be: 6m 2x, 7pm-6:30am EBF Roomshare No paci No training

What is a resource you wish existed that would make new parenthood easier?

I personally wish there was a way for me to breastfeed my 11 month old at work so I wouldn’t have to pump. Curious to know other parents’ needs/wishes!

"It is time for schools to stop prioritizing the economic short term and start serving lifetimes, or they will be relegated to treatment and salvage operations instead of acting as institutions for prevention and preparation," opines Sandra Ericson. https://t.co/J5GXzBVVRN

As moms and women, yes to this! We're wired for it - trust it! https://t.co/uci53nYDeT

# of wake ups per night - the graph :)

Hey,so I took the replies from approx. 336 people on my previous post (link below) and tried to put them in a graph. Any other ideas for how to visualize are appreciated :) I did have to exclude outliers, however, because then the graph was super skewed and not readable anymore. Outliers meaning people that reported 10 or more wake ups. Also, I had to group older age-groups, because there were not many replies for these age-groups.

How do you help your child learn more words?

My daughter is 18 months and only speaking about 5 words. "Quack quack", "more", "mama" "dada" and no on occasion. She has said water ONCE and never said it again. I've googled it, but Googling it scared me and just wanted to see if some of you had other strategies that helped your own little ones! Thanks 😊

Crying because pediatrician is recommending formula or banana/mashed potato at 4 months to supplement

I love breastfeeding so much… I wanted to EBF until 1 year. But I guess kiddo is not getting enough to eat and I need to start supplementing at least at the bedtime feeding. My heart is crushed because I can’t feed my baby the 7-8oz per feeding that he needs. She said to either start giving him formula for the bedtime feed, or add mashed potatoes or fruit to some of the feedings. What do I do? I am too emotional now and looking for advice.

Friend rubs vacation home in my face for over a DECADE

Okay this is just a dumb rant. A friend of mine has a vacation home in a very nice part of Florida. Well, her parents do, but the whole family uses it all the time. Anyway, literally every single time she goes, she texts me how beautiful it is there, how huge the house is, the view from the backyard is AMAZING, and it’s her absolute happiest place on earth. Then goes on to say “I can’t believe you haven’t been to the house yet! You would love it!” Like yes I’m sure I would, but you’ve never invited me??? Stop rubbing it in my face how perfect and beautiful it is, tell me how fun it would be if we got to take a weekend there, and then literally not once in the past ten years invite me to join you. Mama needs a vacation!!!
