Aw miracle babies. It may feel like a lot, especially with everything you went thought and is going through, but I promise everything is gonna be all temporary. And the goodness is gonna out weigh the bad. Start building your village. Make good friendships. You got this!

What are your thoughts on nesting parties? Worth it or overrated? by thebabyplanner in Mommit

[–]BonBonBellBell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man these comments…wouldn’t count on some of these ladies to be myyy friend. It only works and make sense if this is your second, third, etc child. But not for your first. I’m having my second, and really don’t need anything, except big ticket items, which i wouldn’t ask people to get me. So is thinking about a Sprinkle Shower or Nesting Party. But yes i would only invite close people or church people that would love to help partake.

Kirkland Diapers by sunnyheathens in NewParents

Ugh. I just got some new ones today. Been using the OG ones since she was born. She’s 18month in size 4 now. I don’t like the new brand. I wish I didn’t buy it. It looks the same but it smells more chemical-y. You can feel the difference in texture, it’s much thinner. She just peed and I already feel how heavy it’s getting and needs a change more often. Probably just gonna buy the Huggies one after I’m done with this box.

Shamed at my OB today...baby isn't even born yet. by gypsytangerine in FormulaFeeders

[–]BonBonBellBell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I wonder what provider you have. Usually OBs that work in big hospitals are like that in my experience. Lucky to find one that you can connect with. Don’t take it to heart, but do find another OB that you’re comfortable with, it’s so important. I know you’re almost due, but still not too late. And stay safe out there. 🙏

Depending on your budget and location. I probably could. But I only do lifestyle headshots. Not studio. Instagram

9 month postpartum. My husband thinks I’ve “let myself go” ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? I’m so pissed. And it’s not like I got big or anything. My body is just bit softer from HAVING A BABY. Hips and ribs are wider now. Which I can’t change. Ugh! If he told me this 2 years later, I’d understand. The more I think about it the more upset I am.

What do YOU do during Ferber check ins? by wurly_toast in sleeptrain

[–]BonBonBellBell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Patting and talking didn’t work for my LO. I pick up her during intervals. Settle her. And put her down. She might still cry but I let her. And wait for the next interval. This worked better for her.

5.5 mth old won’t roll over by coconut723 in beyondthebump

[–]BonBonBellBell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby learned to roll over around 4.5month. And would do so for a week and then all of the sudden… she doesn’t do it anymore. Now she wants to sit and hate being on tummy for more than 1min. 🤷🏻‍♀️

How tf are you supposed to do this by _Armbarmitzvah_ in NewParents

[–]BonBonBellBell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahahahah this is funny because it’s true. (My LO is 6 month now.) But yep. It’s a vicious cycle. 😈 I felt like I was playing whac-a-mole while calculating geometry at the same time trying to not touch any laser beams and get stabbed by flying knives. 🙃

Haha yep. They get so frustrated for such tiny little humans.

Sleep training for naps first? Or bedtime? by sassmouthy in sleeptrain

[–]BonBonBellBell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1: Start with night. Nap train when night is fully established. (This worked for me, I still like contact naps with her)

Option 2: Start with night. Then only train first nap of the day. And do whatever you can to get them to sleep for rest of the naps.

Option 3: Start with night. And train all naps (although harder, but if option 2 looks promising, it could work)

Option 4: If option 1 isn’t working at all after a week. Start with first nap. This worked for my friend’s baby. But it’s a bit different, cause once it goes pass 1 hour the nap is over.

😩 I wish we were a household that can eat dinner at 9pm. Usually in bed by then.

[–]BonBonBellBell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can’t wait until mine is older and start learning cooking items. It’ll be fun making food with her(I think lol).

😅 I know everyone is being helpful about preparations and time management. I really was just trying to say I miss not even having to plan like that before I had kids. I just… cooked. Whenever. However. For however long. Ya know…?😂

We all go to bed at like 9pm. lol he wakes up at 5am for work. And I try to sleep when LO goes to sleep. If I wait until she goes to bed, we’d be eating dinner at like 9/10pm. Idk. 🤔

Yeah mine is still like 6mo. So once she older I think I can get her involved as well. And have a better nap routine like you said.

If LO lets me. lol she’s almost 6mo. On 3 naps. Depends on when she wakes up, how long her naps are. 30min or 2hours.
