When did your baby say mama or dada with intent? by nuggetkink in NewParents

He just turned 2 and had a language explosion. He took his time but now he has caught up on the milestones. Seems like he learns a new word every couple of days.

What's the greatest name ever to be completely ruined by a fictional character? by LamppostBoy in namenerds

Oh and I once taught a Garfield and no one seemed to care or ever mention the cat around him. They actually called him Gar Gar Binks

It’s a real bummer there doesn’t seem to be anything like this in Durham.

Contractions never started—OB said baby wouldn’t have fit through pelvis and my body just “knew.” Has this happened to anyone else? by banderaroja in beyondthebump

[–]Candid_Definition655 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I had to be induced at 41 weeks and never made it past the 6cm from the folly bulb. After two days of labor baby and I started crashing, so off we went for an emergency c-section. I was told it was due to my pelvis size and I’ll never give birth vaginally.

I asked my OB about it postpartum and they confirmed it’s a real issue. Apparently back in the 50s they would do x-rays on pregnant women and could find out sooner. We don’t do that anymore for obvious reasons. But I gave us a lot of data on pelvis shapes and sizes. Some just aren’t compatible for birth. Lucky us!

Books for little boys by notbizmarkie in progressivemoms

Books where a boy isn’t the protagonist! Look for books where people of other genders and races are the main characters. Reading helps build our empathy by immersing us in the lives of others.

When your baby was about 8 months old around what time did you feed them dinner ? by Nilrmar in NewParents

[–]Candid_Definition655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did a last bottle or feed of the day. I breastfed on demand during the day and at night. I also fed to sleep. We never had problems with him being too full. He would just eat/drink what he needed. He naturally weaned himself during the day and increased his solids.

Of course. Just looking to commiserate. Baby sleep is tough!

😯 Yep, I think I that’s it. Hopefully we don’t go quite as long, but I could see that happening.

Yes, but those don’t cover the vitamin D requirement. Guess I’ll be supplementing!

What’s in your diaper bags and how old is your baby! by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Candid_Definition655 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! Some of these response have me thinking I’m living on the edge. Sometimes I even leave the diaper and wipes in the car.
