I'm a parent with a 9-month old baby looking to chat with other parents.

@coreysnipes @adriano @Lyle Well right now baby won't sleep unless Mom is feeding her to sleep, baby won't let me help at all. Very inconvenient since I'm the housedad and I was previously taking care of her nap times all day.
Being a full-time caregiver is also a personal challenge.
@skyfaller @coreysnipes @adriano @Lyle I have a 4-mo-old baby, but she’s our second, the elder is 4yo. 9 months is about the time we began doing the « 5-10-15 », I believe. You do the sleep routine, then let baby in their crib. If baby cries for you to come back, you first go immediately, comfort and put her back to sleep. Second time, you do the same but let her cry 5mn before coming back. Third time, it’s 10 mn. I don’t think we ever got to 15. This way, baby knows you’re there for them, but they also learn that they have to sleep now.

@Lyle @coreysnipes @adriano Yeah baby has had very little formula, because Mom also works from home we have been able to directly breast feed her mostly recently. Pumping has been necessary for business trips, but pumping is really a less efficient use of our time once you consider cleaning the pump etc., so Mom hasn't pumped much lately either.
I should try bottle feeding her to sleep now. I had routines that worked for getting baby to sleep but they stopped working and I should be flexible.
you are doing great: you care, you try, you support your spouse.
It is hard. It can be very lonely. Nothing prepares you for how exhausting and disorienting it is.
Look at the response you got, though! We see you. We understand. You've got this. We believe in you. Give baby a hug (if she'll let you). -
I'm a parent with a 9-month old baby looking to chat with other parents. Can you recommend fedi accounts of parents with younger children who talk about parenting? (There may be many silent parents on here.)
Bonus points if they ride bikes / avoid cars, are passionate about climate justice, are COVID conscious / interested in public health, or concerned about LLMs & surveillance capitalism (all relatively common on fedi no doubt, despite conditions in the outside world).

Hi! @PurpleStephyr and I are parents to a slightly older kid (4). Between the two of us we check all the listed boxes lol -

Hey, that is what we've been looking for for two years?
So if possible can we talk tomorrow? -

@skyfaller I am parent to a 4yo and occasionally post about it. I am certainly very anti-car and LLM though I don't post about many of the things on your list

@skyfaller you should definitely connect with @juliette, @Pepijn and their hobbit
/me waves. Hi. Our kid is basically an adult, about two and a half. Not sure if we/I really talk about parenting but I do often talk about the intersection

@skyfaller Their kids aren’t babies anymore, but @seabikeblog and @Andres4NY sometimes talk about parenting.

@skyfaller I really hope this works out. It's what I mostly used Facebook for at the time. By the time I was on fedi I had a toddler, and looking for any hashtag in that area was a truly grim experience, so I stopped. Hopefully fedi has evolved into a more useful parenting space by now. Best of luck.

@skyfaller Not a parent but boosting so that you hopefully find other folks.
Ticking all the bonus point, though. So happy to follow & exchange where it fits.
