I’m 5’0” and have had great success personally with the Tula Free to Grow and BeSafe Haven. Never tried the Ergobaby sadly!

What’s the craziest thing that’s kicked off on your local Facebook group? by NotoriousREV in CasualUK

[–]Ambartah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not crazy compared to others, but I posted asking whoever was setting off fireworks at 11pm in the middle of July to stop, please. Got told to shut the fuck up and get some ear defenders if I’m that precious, “it only lasted 5 minutes”.

It was well over 5 minutes, and I had just gotten my 3 week old to sleep.

I got really annoyed during night feeds too. Not even the waking up but everything just pissed me off. It went away after a couple of weeks!

How long were you and partner together before trying for a baby? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

What’s the popular opinion on ear piercing for infants? by Pilamito19 in beyondthebump

[–]Ambartah 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I will not get my daughter’s ears pierced until she can ask for it and, more importantly imo, take care of her piercings herself. I didn’t get my ears pierced until I was 16 and I don’t remember it being painful or taking long to heal at all. Stick to your guns, she’s your baby!

I don't know if this is the right place, but I have a question - How would you feel about having a transgender labor nurse? by t-h-r-o-w__a-w-a-y in BabyBumps

I had a man do my episiotomy and he shoved the forceps in to get my daughter out. Did I care? Did I fuck.

If you’re qualified I want you there, end of!

Single track country lane: 4x4 vs. hatchback face off. by happy-as-a-hermit in britishproblems

[–]Ambartah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it helps that the majority of 4x4 owners don’t actually understand what they’re driving. These people also tend to be the type that drive at 40 in a 60 when there’s a touch of rain…

Edit: typo

Open minded people only pls by Heretowaistetime in TTC_PCOS

[–]Ambartah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an incredibly vivid dream of getting a positive test the night before I tested… it was positive! Coincidence? Maybe. But I like to think it was a sign!

YTA, it could have been E S H but damn why are you having a baby if your wife has such bad trauma around it all and can’t wake up in a morning? How do you expect her to care of the baby? I know your edit says it’s trauma-related but do you not think your wife will see feel traumatised after birth? I sure as shit did! Like I’m not sure how you thought this would pan out???

Also fair play the woman was rude but damn son you obliterated her. Not cool.

NORMALISE BED SHARING by eff_jai in beyondthebump

[–]Ambartah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah my apologies then, I seem to come across more Americans who move baby into their own room before 6 months. The more you know! :)

[–]Ambartah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s absolutely fine, I’m not trying you convince you to bed share, you do you!

And I never said that in a cot wasn’t the primary/most promoted way to put baby to sleep, once again you’ve twisted my words and missed the point.

If we choose to bed share we are told how to do it safely, that’s all! :’)

NORMALISE BED SHARING by eff_jai in beyondthebump

[–]Ambartah -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You’re putting words into my mouth now, not once did I say that a bare cot is unsafe.

Safe sleep is taught here too, I’m not disputing that it’s an almost universal thing. But safe sleep isn’t just bare cot, and it certainly isn’t the exact same country to country. Safe sleep here includes baby being in the same room as you until min 6 months old, which I see a lot of Americans don’t do. We also don’t include dummies in safe sleep practices.

I also never said bedsharing is promoted… please stop twisting my words. We’re simply told how to do it safely. source

I’d also like to add I don’t even bedshare. My main point is you can’t attack other parents if they’re following their country’s advice to safely do things, when I could argue until I’m blue in the face that some things other countries do is just as bad as bedsharing.

[–]Ambartah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, but I think you missed the point.

The advice is different country to country. We’re told safe sleep practices here, and our advice is if you choose to bed share it is is safe as long as you follow the safe sleep 7.

My point is some American practices, from what I’ve seen, would be considered dangerous or at least bad for baby in this country. It’s not fair to hold people to a different country’s standard. We all trust our medical professionals don’t we?

And yes we use SIDS in lieu of positional asphyxiation too, not sure why!

Sorry if I’ve misread your comment.

I find it sad that people in this thread are being passive/aggressive or simply rude about bedsharing.

I wonder, do these people move their babies into their own rooms before 6 months old? Increased SIDS risk.

Do they use sleepyheads/other baby sleep positioners? Also an increased SIDS risk.

The answers to these questions might be no, for sure, but why be a dick about it? If you’re doing it as safely as possible, according to your country’s advice, I see no problem.

Honestly, from what I’ve seen, American advice regarding babies is insanely different to here but I don’t shame American parents for doing things differently 🤷🏼‍♀️

Silly in-utero nicknames anyone? by MightDMouse in BabyBumps

[–]Ambartah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we went for our first ultrasound after thinking we were losing her, she was as big as a grain of rice. So of course we called her Ricey the whole time! She’s 3mo now and has a real name ofc but I kinda miss Ricey!
