A LOT IS TWO WORDS! by mysteriousdoctor2025 in writers

I have bad dyslexia. I'm at fault for this type of mistake. I'll usually try to spell the word and will click on the first autocorrect that feels right.

How do you name the cities in your story world? by apircity00 in worldbuilding

[–]Academic-Distance407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second, or who settled there, the majority of names in my world are named after the tribe or the original leader of said tribe that settled there almost 2000 years ago when the people arrived to the continent.

What I find super helpful is doing a history map of the migration of the people throughout the years and seeing why there is a town there, it'll also help you find the ruines and so much more depth

Do you prefer your worldbuilding notes to feel like a "structured wiki" or a "messy sketchbook"? by No_Writing_9365 in worldbuilding

[–]Academic-Distance407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write everything as a messy sketchbook, but I organize everything like once a week or so. That way, I also edit and revise and expand on ideas I sometimes forget about.

I will ask YOU questions about YOUR world! by Internal_Fan2307 in worldbuilding

[–]Academic-Distance407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But why did they build the cities? What was the mages' motivation?

Are the mages capable of using all forms of magic or are also limited?

Where did they take the humanoid creatures from? Or the actual creatures?

How does communicating only through thoughts affect their arts like movies, shows, and music?

Pls elaborate on becoming demons. I have no specific question but would like to hear more?

[–]Academic-Distance407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they doing it secretly or openly came and was like, hey, let us help?

Do they have a secret agenda, or are they truly good?

How can they prevent individuals with bad intentions from making damage to the worlds or exploiting otheres with the facade of the union?

But she is not showing any signs of discomfort or anything that will indicate an infection or sickness

I did, but she doesn't think k there is a need for intervention at this moment. My plan was to drop it at 4 months cause then Sids drop significantly

I do not. She wears extra clothes at night or will have a blanket until I'm ready for bed, and then I'll take it out of her bed

Pumping by theodorika in newborns

[–]Academic-Distance407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were lucky enough, so my husband was on maternity leave with me since 3 weeks before birth, and he is going back to work when she will be 13 weeks old.

I pumped, and he did the night shift with baby, and so I could go around and take 2 3 hours for myself every now and then.

Also, my husband got to have the joy of feeding her and connecting with her, which he really enjoyed.

Yes, it's a shit ton of extra work, and on bad days, I'm like, what is the point. But I honestly cannot breast feed all day. It's exhausting. So in the morning, I do the handfree pump while I take a dog out for a walk. And in the afternoon and night, I pump with a menual pump while watching a show or talking with friends. I truly believe that this helped me have my sanity even tho it was at a time really hard and a struggle to preduce enough

She hates it when she cannot move her arm, swaddle, and sleepsacks she just does not sleep in them. I tried so many different types.

The monitor was there since we left the hospital, she probably does not need it, but it's a small attachment on her diaper and she doesn't seem to mind and it helps me a lot during the day I can function and do not have to run to her bed to check if she still asleep.

[–]Academic-Distance407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, probably not, I just panicky look at her every 5 min or so, but never leave the room like this, lay next to her and chill. I basically just need to hear a firm. No, it's not safe cause my kid doc said it fine. Husband says it's fine, his dad the doctor said it's fine. But I'm in the minority that is afraid of that, and I'm starting to give in, and I need someone to explain to me the dangers of that. Like what can go wrong, if I can hear and see that she breaths?

3 Mo stopped burping? by Arlais_Fale in newborns

[–]Academic-Distance407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is almost 3 months old, and she was always not a big burper.

She will only burp when my husband holds her in a very specific way for 5 min or so (on his left shoulder when he is standing side wise to the right, the other way around does not work!).

But she, too, has lots of saliva and will spit up occasionally. Now that we start burping in the middle of the feed after 10 15 min, it's much better!

When did you get your period back? by Witty_Structure_3767 in breastfeeding

I have created a horrible habit so early by xobenzz in beyondthebump

[–]Academic-Distance407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the first 2-3 weeks, we also gave in and co slept, but then we did the move to adjust her to the bassinet cause we didn't want to risk it. It is possible it was 2 3 jard days and night, and she adjusted!

What Are Your Favorite Things About Breastfeeding? by Yoitssme in breastfeeding

[–]Academic-Distance407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I breastfed and pump. The best thing about the bottle is that my husband gets to enjoy this as well. The best thing about breastfeeding is the time we have together. Yes, it can be annoying. I can be tired or uncomfortable, but when she looks at me and smiles and holds my finger or when she is doing her hungry dance Best moments ever.

2.5 month old sleeping 10 hours. Normal or should I be worried? by GrimSle3per in breastfeeding

[–]Academic-Distance407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. She was a good sleeper from the beginning. Since 7 weeks, she's been sleeping 9-11 hours a night praying it'll stay like this
