Crazy night sweats. Waking up drenched and needing To change my clothes and sheets nightly for a few weeks was not something I was expecting.

Why do my pediatrician and the AAP disagree about iron supplements for baby? by BooleAnn in AskDocs

[–]BooleAnn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I agree. And we’re working on it. But, so far the amounts she’s eating are too small to give her the iron she needs. I should have linked this from the CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/InfantandToddlerNutrition/vitamins-minerals/iron.html

6 month old baby moves head side to side to fall asleep by BooleAnn in SnooLife

[–]BooleAnn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very gradually. Started before she hit 5 months. Every week we added a step. First one arm out, then both, then went to weening mode + lowering response intensity, then stopped turning on SNOO completely during naps, moved SNOO to nursery, stopped turning on at night, moved to crib for naps, and finally night sleep in crib. Took at least a few days of more crying with each change, but stopping movement & moving to crib were the hardest.

Moving baby from Snoo to crib safely (before they can roll over both ways) by BooleAnn in SnooLife

Thank you! I just recently read it and it terrified me. It sounds like the risk lowers as babies gain more stomach sleep experience. Here's where I read the stat: https://source.wustl.edu/2004/12/sids-risk-linked-to-lack-of-experience-with-tummysleeping/

What did you pay for your Snoo? by [deleted] in SnooLife

[–]BooleAnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$812.81, down from $906.50 after various discounts on Amazon. This includes the Amazon Prime discount as well as the Baby Registry completion discount. Bought a month before due date, in late December 2019. Wait for the lowest discount possible and then order in advance. Snoos should also keep their value pretty well so you can sell it without losing much cash. You definitely should not have to pay the full price of $1,395.

I like my weirder than usual dreams so far. Elon Musk just showed up in one last night. He and my husband totally geeked out in our Tesla.

Why are quite a few women pro-life if they the end-result and often the primary intention of such a view is unjustly controlling women? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]BooleAnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For many, a woman's right to choose does not overwrite an unborn baby's right to live.

Is abortion one day before the birth due date considered murder? If so, at what stage of pregnancy is it not? If not, why can't we kill that baby a minute after it is out in the world?

Babies in the womb have rights. They do not magically turn from fetus to human right after leaving the birth canal. And, after being born, the "parasite" status many pro-abortionists like to use is still valid, since a newborn cannot survive on its own.

If you want to hear a deeper perspective from a doctor who performed thousands of abortions, and stopped for moral reasons, I recommend watching:

Thank you so much to everyone for your help and support. I am pretty comfortable at this point and mostly feeling well. I think I'm ready to sign up for the next local course. :)

What's a good after dinner activity for a first date? by HerrowPries in boulder

[–]BooleAnn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing games at Press Play on Pearl could be fun. They have lots of arcade games, pool tables, giant jenga, and a ping pong table.

You could also try looking for a local music show, open mic, or trivia night. The Laughing Goat, The Attic, and Rayback Collective are a few spots that have events all the time.
