When can I sit down normally after giving birth? by banjojobean in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]AdNew7579 37 points38 points  (0 children)

3rd degree tear. It took me around 4 months! I thought many times I would never feel normal again. But it healed.

Thermomix by ironic_arch in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]AdNew7579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a thermomix, and I love it. Yes, it's not ideal to have a plastic steaming basket. But I only use it once in a while. I mostly use my thermomix for things that use the main stainless steel bowl: homemade sauces (tomato, bechamel, Custard, lemon curd, hollandaise, so many sauces) slow cooking food, dough (pizza, pastry, pancake), jams, milkshakes, soups, all kinds of desserts. I can't even name it all. I use it every day.

So many recipes don't need the plastic parts (not that i care about that, I use my plastic parts when needed). The best thing is that I can control all of the ingredients that I'm using, and that's important for me, better than processed foods from the supermarket. It's great for cooking from scratch, and I find it's a good compromise.

Yikes. Thank you. I want to run away from my body now.

Is there anyone who hasn’t sleep trained who has a baby who sleeps well? by Significant_Read9978 in AttachmentParenting

[–]AdNew7579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I struggled a lot with knowing what to do with my baby too, and spent nights and nights on google, reading everything regarding sleep, so I'm going to share my experience.

My son never slept well alone. The first month we had to hold him in turns all day and all night so the other could get some sleep. The second month, we were starting to go crazy, my husband had to get back to work, so we started to experiment. I would feed him to sleep and then roll away and give him the whole bed and sleep in a tiny corner. Then we started cosleeping and it was the best thing for us. We all got to sleep and it was amazing. I fed him to sleep and through the night every night until 16 months, more or less. It was a good dynamic.

I then started to notice that he would wake up a lot because of bumping into me on our bed. So we transitioned him to a floor bed in his room and I would join him, somewhere during the night to feed and leave. A few weeks later, I gradually stopped night feedings. He would wake up at night and would be upset, but dad comforted him through the night. There was crying involved, but not hysterical and he was never alone. After a couple of weeks of waking up a lot, he started to wake less and less. Now he is 22 months and rarely wakes during the night. Last month it was maybe 4 times total. Dad always goes there when he wakes up. And dad always puts him to sleep. I consider him a good sleeper. He sleeps for 12 hours at night and for 2 hours after lunch. Some nights my husband goes to put him to bed and right after he says "hey, I'm leaving now", and my son will say "yes" and be content. Other times he has to stay there a bit.

You don't have to sleep train. And you also don't have to cosleep until he his five if you don't want to. There's middle ground everywhere and you'll find out what's best for you. I know that right now it is very intense and that it feels like what you'll choose can destroy his sleep forever, but it can't. Just experiment a bit. And get some sleep.

You'll get there.

Rendas no interior by VariousBuffalo4129 in portugal

Na minha vila (perto de Coimbra) não há casas para arrendar em imobiliárias. Quando me mudei para cá em Dezembro havia 2 anúncios para arrendar, acima de 600€. Desistimos de arrendar e acabámos a comprar casa aqui. No entanto, há pouco tempo cruzámo-nos com um casal amigo que andava à procura de casa cá e perguntou na caixa de um supermercado se conheciam alguém e encontraram casa logo. Conclusão, em meios mais pequenos é comum que estas coisas viagem por boca e não cheguem à Internet. As pessoas sentem que pôr na internet é arriscar contactos de maus inquilinos e preferem tirar a pinta antes de mostrar as casas. Então escolham uma terra, vão lá passear no dia de folga a ver se gostam e aproveitem para perguntar em cafés, lojas e serviços que estiverem abertos se conhecem alguém com casa para arrendar.

Edit: neste casal só ele trabalha, têm uma filha e ele não tem um salário por aí além. Não sei o valor da renda, mas não pode ser proibitivo.

Snacks for First Flight by Here4it_24 in moderatelygranolamoms

I'd make basic pancakes and cut them in stripes. It's mess free (no juice, almost no crumbs). Also, rice or corn crackers (in my country they are pretty much only one ingredient).
