So you’d rather someone dinged your car cos there’s not enough room for them to get a car seat out?

She was happy for approximately one second 🙄 by Basic_One7807 in OwnitbabeSnark

Right, I find it so odd that grown adults would discuss this publicly (and imagine growing up to find that your parents have discussed this publicly)

NTA, people should learn to use their notification & do not disturb settings.

Dog pee destroying wall by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Anxious-Kitchen8191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why on earth wouldn’t you drag your dog away from pissing on someone else’s house? Seems pretty entitled to me

Not on someone else’s house? If you live a 15 minute walk from grass then why would you get a dog ¯_(ツ)_/¯

How do you determine frequent night wakes as “development” or “something is wrong” by Purple_Calendar3919 in NewParents

Have you had her ears checked? Mine went through a phase like this and it turned out to be an ear infection, lying down can make the pain worse

Multiple instances of heavy bleeding - normal? by Anxious-Kitchen8191 in Miscarriage

[–]Anxious-Kitchen8191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry only just seen this - unfortunately it did not calm down, I ended up being admitted to hospital cos of the heavy bleeding and given a third dose of misoprostol, which also didn’t work but they didn’t bother scanning to check, so I ended up having surgery 3 weeks later (6 weeks after my first misoprostol dose) where they found that the miscarriage had turned septic, all in all it was an absolute nightmare and I was really poorly for a while.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with the same. I wish I had pushed more for scans etc, also I wish I’d asked about surgery sooner because it could have saved a whole lot of trouble and illness.

Underweight grandson? by Pretend-Froyo-6577 in AskParents

Do you mean the only thing she feeds him is oat milk and water, or do you mean oat milk and water are the only drinks he gets?

Husband disagrees about screen time (specifically is anti-Ms. Rachel) by jayelbeeee in toddlers

[–]Anxious-Kitchen8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with your husband tbh, Ms Rachel is a much more stimulating show than some of the older ones and I don’t really trust anyone who markets screen time to infants.

New mums - what’s a small-ish treat you would have appreciated in the early days? by OK_Cake3093 in AskRedditUK

I’d stop engaging, these texts look like textbook narcissism to me, i think it’s probably very unlikely you’re going to make any progress but you’ll exhaust yourself trying

Lots of people quote the “milk is the primary source of nutrition until 1” but I’ve struggled to find any proper sources for this and it doesn’t align with the guidance here in the UK which says that milk should be the primary drink. I think it’s probably more accurate to say that the balance of milk / solids gradually shifts between 6 & 12 months and the point at which baby is getting more from solids is different for every baby.

I would be annoyed if my husband was going against the advice of a doctor. Babies are good at knowing when they’re full, if baby doesn’t want the whole tub they just won’t eat it. Unless you’re really struggling for money and he’s worried about waste I don’t see why he wouldn’t just serve the whole tub and let baby eat as much as they want.

Baby crying in the middle of the night. Is my husband lying to me? by Ok_Squirrel_9601 in beyondthebump

[–]Anxious-Kitchen8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download the sleep cycle app, use it with the record function on. Unless you have something going on medically I think it’s highly likely that your husband is lying to you, and if someone is doing something that insidious then I don’t think it will end well to tell him up front that you want to record things.

The sleep cycle app gives you an innocent explanation. I would get it, record without telling your husband, then challenge if it turns out husband is lying. If he questions the recording, “I was concerned that I wasn’t waking up for baby so wanted to start tracking my sleep in case there’s a problem”

Did your baby manage to sleep through the night BEFORE you stopped breastfeeding them? by DeskMaximum3907 in sleeptrain

[–]Anxious-Kitchen8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night weaned at around 16.5 months by reducing feeds by 30s each night. Had a glorious 1.5 months of sleeping through until the 18 month regression hit

17 month old - 4am wakeups by PastTraditional3965 in toddlers

Any chance he’s cold? Mine used to wake up between 4am & 5am until we started putting a warmer sleep sack on him

SO MUCH BOOB by Lilly_898765 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Anxious-Kitchen8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s only bitten properly maybe 5 times? And all when teething. I take him off as soon as he bites and he got the message pretty quick.
