November 2025 Babies 🇺🇸

How long is your little ones wake window before bedtime? Some sources say 3.5 hours and others say 4 hours so I’m just curious!

Are you all planning anything for your baby's birthday? Why or why not?

I went back to work once my baby turned 16 weeks old, so I was lucky to get almost 4 months of maternity leave with her, and my husband was able to stay with her until she was 6 months old. My aunt watches her full time ever since.

I just really struggle with the guilt of leaving her in someone else’s care, even family. I am lucky that my husband drops her off at 9 and I am able to be there to pick her up by 3:30 so she’s only away from us for about 6.5 hours a day, with 2 of those hours usually being asleep. I am good at my job, I like it and the people I work with, and I’m the main breadwinner. I don’t feel like I should quit but I just feel so much guilt that it’s not me with my baby all day, every day. I am also afraid she won’t feel as bonded to me. Any other working moms feel this way? Every other mom in my family (sister, sister in law, cousins) are all stay at home moms so maybe that’s why.. I just feel alone in this.

Ive been nursing my son for 10 months and im exhausted. How long did you nurse your baby? I feel a great deal of connection by breastfeeding and in afraid i will loose my connection to my son. I know deep down thats silly but its how I feel. Did anyone else have same feeling?

Is it normal for my 9month old to be eating less at this age than before? She fusses around with solids or loses interest quickly, and barely finishes her milk!

We traveled out of the country and gave her more water than usual, could that be filking her up? Jet lag? How much water do you all give your little one?
