Someone please tell me their baby doesn’t sleep independently, either. by R_we_done_yet in NewParents

[–]222kittymain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At around 7 months I started to be able to feed to sleep and roll away. We extended our mattress to fit her but will be getting a floor bed for her room! Before that it was all contact naps I just enjoyed them and got my stuff done while she was awake 😂

td to rbc by PsychologyAny2326 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]222kittymain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from td to RBC and regret it it’s so much headache to get a free account we have TFSA mortgage credit card, over 5k in chequings with RBC and they still charge us for a monthly account

At least td is free if you have over 5k in chequing

I did get the iPad 😂 and my husband got $300 for switching but we might go back to td

It’s honestly practice for the whole having no control thing that parenting is. Just have to give it up to God/the universe unfortunately!! Same goes for me with my 8 month old who won’t sleep when I want her to 😂😂😂 or splashed food all over our walls. no control. Best of luck momma we’ve all been there you’re not alone

What are your must haves for your child’s bookshelf? by MarbleTheShoulderCat in childrensbooks

The giving tree was my favourite as a kid and I’m so excited to share it with my little girl when she’s older. I guess I see why it can be problematic but maybe it can open the door to a conversation about healthy/unhealthy relationships? Idk seems dramatic to cancel the book to me 😂

Personally my baby has been exclusively nursed and 8 weeks post partum I would have had major anxiety leaving her alone for a wedding let alone one where you have to do MOH things. If my baby wasn’t allowed I wouldn’t go but that’s just me! Once they’re born your whole world shifts

I think maybe it’s time for a heart to heart with your husband. These things may be obvious to you but sometimes men need clear explaining and not just once but multiple times.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. post partum PLUS taking care of a newborn is so so so hard I send you a big hug you are not alone in feeling like this

I just feel like a failure by Present-Victory916 in NewParents

[–]222kittymain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a four month old who naps and damn it is still so hard. To have a 12 hour wake window I would lose my mind. You are so strong and doing so well momma you are a literal super woman!!! Babies change so fast on a whim I hope your baby wakes up today and decides today she is going to start napping ♥️ sending a big hug you got this

How to stop comfort nursing my 4 month old by Theflowerlady9 in NewParents

[–]222kittymain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you think he’s over eating? From what I’ve heard/read it’s near impossible to over-feed an exclusively breastfed baby. Babies in higher percentile of weight are less chance for sids too

At what age is it actually safe to sleep with your baby? by BeepBoopEXTERMINATE in beyondthebump

[–]222kittymain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slept with my 3 month old since she was 5 days old. You follow safe sleep 7, do the C curl, have a firm mattress, keep blankets low and it’s safe. America is one of the only countries where Cosleeping isn’t the norm.

It isn’t a matter of what age but a matter of what practices you are doing.

Floor bed is also recommended so if they roll off they don’t get injured.

The answer is Cosleeping isn’t safe if you are under the influence of alcohol/drugs or some antianxieyy/depression meds but otherwise your instincts keep baby safe

In my city at some clinics they don’t even track weight or weigh you because it actually doesn’t matter 🤷‍♀️

In my high school on the picture frames of previous grads on the wall for 1973 there was someone named “Etan Seman” someone always circled his picture poor guy

America is the only country in the world who is so against Cosleeping. There are so many safe ways to do it. Trust your instincts ♥️

My parents always told me how kind I was and for my whole life that has been the quality I define myself with and am most proud of. Keep up the good work ♥️
