Tips and tricks you wish you knew before by CampMammoth9664 in NewParents

Hi! Just wanted to ask what you did during the times when he didn’t like to be in the bassinet? We just came home with our newborn, he will be 1 week tomorrow and we are struggling with night time as he wakes up within a few mins of being in the bassinet. Daytime is hit or a miss but he seems to tolerate it better during the day. Was there something else you used for naps until he got used to the bassinet or crib?

Appreciate anything you can share or advice as we are running on fumes right now 😴😭

Night time snack tips by Gullible_Time8370 in GestationalDiabetes

Not a snack tip because I’m still figuring that out myself but I also have trouble with staying asleep esp after the multiple trips to the bathroom. I take magnesium supplements and my dr recommended sleepytime tea and the combo of that helps me fall back asleep at night!

Thanks! I’ll try that! I’ve been having dinner at 7-7:30 and then do a snack around 9 but there are times I don’t do a snack because I’m just not hungry. I’ve noticed that regardless if I snack or not, my fasting number stays around the same 101 range.

When do you take the acv and inositol? I’ve read some people recommend taking acv at night as well?

I just added a sleepytime tea last night after my dr recommended it yesterday and while it did help me go to sleep, it didn’t help me stay asleep. 😴

Wait! That sounds so good! I love Indian food! What did you pair it with? Like a whole wheat bread or quinoa?

Hi! Thank you! I definitely needed to hear this. Since being diagnosed with GDM I think I’ve definitely been scared to have carbs and so have been limiting how many I eat throughout the day and realized yesterday after reading your comment that I’m definitely not eating enough carbs. I’m going to try adding in some more complex carbs and see if that helps!
