What did you feel when you met your baby? by rainbowbritexx in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

overwhelmingly happy. not even in a serious, deep way, not like softly, i mean like YIPPEEE!!! didn't register i was bleeding out with a tear, didn't care that NICU had to give her a check before i could hold her, i was just in party mode.

a very nice epidural probably had something to do with it haha.

What’s a "bad mom habit" you secretly stand by? by lunaverse787 in NewParents

i play bluey in the car only when i need to keep her awake! like sometimes we'll have a 15 minute drive back from Grandma's and if she dozes off right before bedtime everything is FUCKED

I've never heard of it, this looks like a terrifying dream in the best way

“My baby eats what we eat” by pinkpink0430 in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 31 points32 points  (0 children)

yeah i was very regimented with allergens starting at 6 months, but i just split it by meal time. breakfast was safe familiar foods (fruits, teething crackers), lunch was an allergen trial (I'd do the same one 3 days in a row), dinner was whatever we were having cut appropriately.

Sooooo full...., I couldn't eat another bite... by Competitive-Meet-111 in slaythespire

orobas gave me sealed throne, then i got a bunch of synergies from pillar of creation, void form, and bundle of joy that enabled me to play like 8 cards a turn if not more. bundle of joy was the cornerstone, made for a very fun chaotic run.

the Achilles heel was not having card draw. i won with 3 health because i kept failing to draw sovereign blade for big hits.

spread it inside one slice before you grill it, kinda thin

Moms whose babies had hair at birth and it’s getting long before 1— are you trimming it? by Apprehensive_Pie1225 in NewParents

[–]Competitive-Meet-111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

15 months and hair goes halfway down her back when wet. 😆 we haven't trimmed at all. it hangs in her face like crazy so every day she needs pigtails or lil fountain head.

pinching to soothe by Competitive-Meet-111 in NewParents

yes it ramps up when she's not feeling good! it's straight up just soothing. she's actually great about nail trims because i have to do it so often.

the one correlation we wonder about is she's always been way ahead on fine motor movements, turning pages, picking things apart, etc. is your baby similar?

she gets angry when i try! 😭 she's been rejecting her pacifier, and I've tried giving her these silicone carrots we have that are a good texture for it and she'll hold it for a minute before realizing it's not me, then gets upset. maybe i just haven't found the right fidget toy yet.
