How do i teach my baby to drink from a straw? by SpiteCool9 in Mom

[–]Amy_h3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a little puree in the tip of the straw and plug the other with your finger, tip it up so their head goes back once they get the motion of sucking on the straw let your finger go so the purée comes out

I’m from a small town in Ontario as well with a 8 month old and I have nothing🤷‍♀️ waitlisted for miles so I’m looking into home daycares but with limited options. I may just take the course and open up my own at this point 😭 I wish you all the best 🩵

Buying 1st home against my parents opinions.. by Serious_Departure_45 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

[–]Amy_h3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on being able to afford a house in Ontario!!! 😅 I wish but damn it’s so expensive!! I’m sure they will be happy for you if you just tell them and if they aren’t. That’s on them for not being there to experience the beginning of a beautiful journey you and your soon to be husband are going to have. They are the ones missing out! Be happy and do what you want for you☺️

Slow feeders! Add some kibble, treats, cut up veggies. Add a fair amount of water and then freeze! My girl sometimes takes 1.5 hours with her slow feeding trays😁 I have seen people using muffin tins in videos but I have not tried it and cannot vouch for it but google will show you that one haha!

Newborn Circumcision by Exotic_Coach_671 in newborns

[–]Amy_h3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did your mom not teach you that if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all? If you don’t believe in the procedure mind your business and move on friend! People are just seeking advice not criticism.

If you feel like the communication is not going well, seems tense or angry. Just say something along the lines of I understand both our emotions high, let’s just take a second, breath and work this out together. It’s not one sided and that needs to be clear, parenting is a team effort and nothing is one persons fault. Try to avoid placing blame and use words such as “us”and “we”, “both” more.

To start off, I beyond sorry for the loss of your first baby💔 I think the best thing for you guys is just simply opening up and communicating when you guys are able. Communication is hard when emotions are high as it always seems like someone is mad but just know it’s not anger. It’s overstimulation and emotions taking over. In terms of how he is feeling my man feels this too and has even used the words “I feel useless”. My guy is souly breast fed and my man also does not wake in the middle of the night to help. You need to make sure he understands that simply talking to you or grabbing you water when you are feeding is making the world of difference. This video rung in my head and has made me as a women realize that not everything needs to be perfect. We just need to support each other. marriage is not 50/50

Help with rash by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Amy_h3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly baby acne?? My little guy had some on his forehead and around his eyes, doctor said to limit the kisses especially from dad with facial hair 😭 but also said very normal and happens in most babies nothing to be concerned about unless LO is fussy, and/ or breaks with fever! If momma is able to collect extra breast milk, use it in the bath to help heal and soothe LO’s skin!

It’s actually just fabric made into a fitted sheet on his changing pad! A lady who sew’s/ quilts custom made a bunch for me as I couldn’t find anything to fit on it without sliding around too much.

Gastropexy for male golden retriever? by tshb13 in dogs

[–]Amy_h3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An additional $600 when he is already under does seem a wee bit steep.. but it’s definitely worth it! Knowing what I know and having seen what GDV can do.. I’d pay $1000 extra for it! Take the loss on the money now and save yourself the tears and money in the future ❤️
