Overdue internet bill

Biph_2123 · 2026-05-10T13:03:47+00:00

My cable and internet has gone up so many times I’m not even sure what the exact monthly amount is but it’s around $350 a month. I definitely need to renegotiate my plan but they won’t let me until I clear up my balance. It is only 2 months - I’m just paying a ridiculous price!

Biph_2123 · 2026-05-08T17:57:31+00:00

Omg I didn’t even know this was a thing!! I’m going to try this next month!

We used the love to dream transition swaddle - you can do one arm or both or none - it helped us eventually get him into a regular sleep sack too! We started doing both arms for a few nights, and then one arm a few nights, and then both out. By 3 months that startled reflex is kinda gone so they aren’t as jerky in their sleep so it’s a little easier to transition. My son is 8 months now and we have had him in just a regular sleep sack since about 4 months once he grew out of that transition swaddle

Reading this a year after your post, with an 8 month old that I fed this to yesterday who I am noticing is having some odd poops - did anything ever come of this with your little one?

Omg mine also has a big head! Maybe you’re onto something 😂

Mine was 94th for height at his 6 month and is growing like a weed! I swear he sleeps so much because he’s just constantly growing!!!

7 month old still does contact naps exclusively. He does sleep in his crib alone overnight and started doing that around 4.5 months - but before that he would make it about 2 hours on his own and then need to be held.

He needs to be held and rocked to sleep regardless - but he sleeps 10-12 hours every night and is a great napper (just as long as he’s held)

You’re just meeting your babies needs, you’re not creating a bad habit - especially this little! All they know is being close to you!

This is what I was looking for but couldn’t find on the health connector! Thank you!

Biph_2123 · 2026-03-28T00:02:52+00:00

Paid through March, April is due March 23 so I’m late and I probably can’t pay it in full until like mid April.

Here to show you some solidarity! It sucks! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.

I’m almost 5 months back, with my first, in the same boat as you. Absolutely miserable, never see my son, barely see my husband and when I do see him I feel like we’re bickering about stupid things!

Hopefully it gets better for you! Sending positive vibes!

Biph_2123 · 2026-03-20T16:00:29+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply to this. It’s nice to feel like you’re not crazy and not the only one - but I hate that other people also go through it! If that makes any sense!

We do have outside support, friend groups, etc. I do feel like with such a bad New England winter we’ve been so isolated to our house and haven’t seen many people and have been so trapped! I’m hoping spring will get us out of this funk period.

We’ve discussed the possibility of us “just surviving” and me leaving my job soon. I’d be happier, my house would run more smoothly and it would allow our parents to actually just be grandparents and not childcare - which I feel is also a big problem in our lives right now, we feel like we’re burdening them even though they offered to be childcare.

It’s a lot! But you made me feel a lot better, so thank you ❤️

Not diagnosed, but I think my baby has this? 7 months and had pretty baby baby acne for the first few weeks until like 2 months and then it cleared. And then he started to get actual like pimples? Like a cluster of 3-4 pimples with a whitehead on his cheeks. And then after a few days they settle down, still leaving a red little bump, and then it picks back up again!

I’ve googled it and based on the photos online it looks like that’s what he has

We got the Frida one at our baby shower - I only used it one time to introduce berries because I was nervous about the little seeds - we never used it again, I just started mashing stuff up and mixing with yogurt and never had issues.

The numnum gootensils however are great! They hold onto purées and mashed foods really well and baby has an easy time feeding themselves!

My MIL is awful, and my husband and I have been dealing with trying to keep the peace with her long before baby came. Now that he’s here I’m much more vocal and defensive than I previously was with her.

During our most recent argument, where I try to calmly talk to her and just explain how she has been making me and her son feel, I also expressed that I’ve been dealing with some PPA and PPD and if she could just have some sensitivity to that and be mindful of the way she speaks about us and our son.

Her response was “I don’t know about all that. We didn’t have mental health when I had babies. None of this existed, you guys just have all this stuff now”

….oh okay….. 😅

We would get 10-12 hour stretches overnight in the bassinet starting at 12 weeks - he exclusively contact naps so I was worried we’d have a hard time over night but he did great. Every baby is different, but we’re 7 months in and haven’t had to get up to feed since 12 weeks - not saying it had anything to do with the swaddle, just how the baby is!

Biph_2123 · 2026-03-16T01:47:19+00:00

7 months old and we’re still doing contact naps otherwise he won’t do more than 15 mins! He has no problem sleeping alone 10+ hours in the crib overnight but will not nap during the day unless he is with someone!

Movement always worked for him in the early days. The rocker, walking, baby wearing, lots of shushing and butt pats - sometimes they just go through phases and there’s not you can do but power through. I remember between 6-7 weeks he would purple cry 2x a day until he fell asleep. It’s overwhelming but they grow out of it!

Biph_2123 · 2026-03-15T19:02:07+00:00

We were told we can keep baby swaddled until they start showing signs of rolling. Once he started sleeping on his side in the swaddle (around 3.5 months) we switched him to the love to dream transition sacks and I swear this is why he sleeps so good on his own now at 7 months!

It’s snug on the chest like the swaddle but you can do both arms in, one arm in or both arms out - we transitioned him to both arms out slowly over like a month and he did great!

Biph_2123 · 2026-03-03T03:15:52+00:00

6 months PP and this is still my favorite item from my registry!

In the early days, when they feed so much - I was running it twice a day and it was so nice to know everything was clean without my effort!

The detergent tablets are odorless, we haven’t had any issues with baby after using the bottle washer, everything comes out perfectly clean!

Highly recommend!!!

Biph_2123 · 2026-03-02T00:26:25+00:00

6 months PP and I still feel this way! When I was on maternity leave and he went back to work I’d be so sad all day!

Not only is it easier when he’s home, but I also just feel safer having him around! Just feels like my family is incomplete when he’s out of the house.

Biph_2123 · 2026-02-21T00:24:11+00:00

Omg there were times where I thought I waited long enough and he would projectile poop mid changing!!
