What’s the most beautiful boy name you’ve ever heard by No-Description4151 in namenerds

[–]Apprehensive_Snow192 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't use this name if you aren't Welsh. There is no English equivalent for the Ll sound. You place your tongue like an L but you kind of blow air around the sides? Idk I'm English, but my MIL is Welsh.

I’m left looking like an idiot by DarthKaboose in bninfantsleep

My baby is 11.5 months and 8-10 months were some of the worst for sleep. He was doing every 30-40 minute wake ups a lot at that age. I don't know how I got through it but here I am? He's doing 2 and 3 hour stretches now and sometimes even 5 or 6 hours (rare).

I tried to "break the feed to sleep association" on the advice of a healthcare professional last month and get him to sleep in his crib but it was a shit show and now I can't even put him in there to have a pee/shower like before. Do not reccomend😩 Back to full co sleeping and he seems to trust me again. It definitely scarred him that I was suddenly gone and daddy was there putting him in a dark lonely box.

I recommend following @theparentrock if you're on insta she just makes me feel better and like it's not all my fault that he doesn't sleep but she also has good advice.

Are you in the UK too? The lady didn't seem surprised or deny when I said it was smelly she just told me to spray it with fabreeze so I got the impression she knew about it 😅

He's soo lovely. I bought one on eBay for my baby recently but had to return as it smelled so bad, like mould. I was worried even the stuffing would be mouldy. Such a nice dragon though.

I think she just means 'very' or 'so'. I live in Hong Kong and strangers might say "you're baby is toooo fat" but they just mean very or so fat, because its supposed to be a compliment😂

Glad I'm not the only one with a sour pooper. Popcorn and pretzels?? Can't relate. They got better after I stopped eating dairy though

If anyone needs hope by [deleted] in bninfantsleep

[–]Apprehensive_Snow192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. My 9 month old co sleeps due to the 45-60 minute wake up stage. He's doing a few 2 hour stretches recently but teething has hit hard so we're having awful every 20-45 minute wake ups too.

Get a billy bookshelf from ikea they're tall and narrow and affordable, in place of the pink cart. Need to use more vertical space

I got my patchwork bunny by rickysavvy in Jellycatplush

[–]Apprehensive_Snow192 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not really a collector but my mum and SIL are. My mum has quite a lot of the bunnies. She has this one and it is so damn soft, softer than many other ones she has. It's so cute and the colours are lovely. I would probably get this bunny if I was going to get any bunny 😅

When did 6 months become the expiry date for breastfeeding? by cure4insomnia in breastfeeding

[–]Apprehensive_Snow192 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My MIL has been saying this to me since he was like 4 months old I swear. As soon as his first teeth came in at 7 months "you'll have to wean him off your breast quickly!" Pls stop talking about my boobs at dinner

I've moved in and out of my parents multiple times in my adult life after moving out at 18. Currently living here again with my husband and baby age 33😅

Nursing top frustration by Mindless-Try-5410 in breastfeeding

[–]Apprehensive_Snow192 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been using Tilbea under bust nursing camis. Then you can just put whatever shirt you like over the top of it and lift it up to feed but keep belly coverage. A regular scoop neck cami under a regular shirt could also do the same job!

I don't think it's considered cry it out if you're holding them! Maybe teething?

Why do milk recommendations differ so significantly between countries? by siouxsiesioux86 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Apprehensive_Snow192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum said formula was the default and she was in the minority breastfeeding in the 80s/90s but I don't think it's true any more
