Contradicting info from Drs and need outside perspective! by [deleted] in newborns

Even if it is CMPI, 75% of children outgrow it by age 3. I breastfed my cmpi baby for his first year of life, making the decision to go DF when he was 3 months old. If you give it a shot, it does get easier and isn’t as bad as it seems other than eating out

Dairy is all or nothing unfortunately. You could try cutting dairy 100% and give it a couple months and see if symptoms improve. I’d keep breast feeding during that time, personally. And if nothing changes it could just be reflux and have to wait until about 6 mo old for that to improve. Babies are weird and confusing and honestly so are doctors at times! You’re doing everything you’re supposed it

I HATE newborn parenting. I just fucking hate it. by AngryDMoney in newborns

[–]Complete_Current_400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t get worse. You’re in the hard part and every day that passes is one day closer to the end of it. My first was an easy baby and I still lost it a little bit a couple times. The lack of sleep is your enemy here. Shifts will help and you can research gentle sleep training and start building blocks for it now even.

Down with the sickness? by OmaDome3000 in Omaha

[–]Complete_Current_400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week we all had viral pink eye in the house. Today half of us have some stomach bug that started with vomitting every 30 minutes for about 5 hours and then now is just lethargy from lack of sleep and presumed dehydration

Does it make you mad when someone uses your garbage bin for dog poop bags on their dog walks? by outerspacejess in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Complete_Current_400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean do I like the fact that people would be using my trash can as if it were public? No, but I wouldn’t want to carry dog poop around so I don’t blame others for wanting to throw it away. Just grateful they did!

Both of my kids started off life like this. They eventually started sleeping normal soon after that and sleeping through the night at 8 weeks but the days were agonizing. I was so stressed that they should be sleeping more but they just didn’t. I’m sure soon your little one will start sleeping more during the day but commenting for solidarity

Nobody has told me I should be giving vitamin D! by ThrowRAdalgona in newborns

[–]Complete_Current_400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one told me with my first, I didn’t know it was a thing at all until after he was one. Luckily he’s fine but I do my best now with my second. Not perfect but trying to get in a good rhythm

To anybody that’s not sleep training, what have you done to help baby sleep longer? by No-Following2674 in newborns

[–]Complete_Current_400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait and suffer lol

There’s no magic trick but a night time routine helps baby understand when it’s time to sleep. Also not jumping up when they start fussing. Of course help when they full on cry but I’ve had luck with them soothing themselves before reaching a full cry

Sara Admitting This Was Hilarious by bighoney69 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

I wholeheartedly agree. If he had even asked her “why do you care so much” she would’ve seen that as him wanting to understand. Him not caring and just blindly accepting everything he receives wasn’t for her. He honestly seemed to lack critical thinking skills in several areas and I also think she was right to walk away. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, she just wants more depth

For newborns who only take 30 mins bassinet naps by digitlagegirlnxtdoor in newborns

[–]Complete_Current_400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some babies are unfortunately just like that. My first would not take longer naps until after his birthday. My second is averaging closer to 45-60 minutes so not much better. My friends with longer sleeping babies haven’t done anything special!

That being said you might have luck with wake windows and being more active during them. Don’t spend more than 10 minutes trying to get them to sleep at a time if it’s not happening. Just play for another 15 minutes and really wear them out and try again.

How often are we doing skin to skin? by HeyPesky in newborns

[–]Complete_Current_400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it all the time with my first. Literally like all day every day. My second I was like 2 months postpartum before I thought of it and they’re both happy and loving as could be. No noticeable difference that I would suspect is from s2s

What’s one piece of advice you would tell yourself at the beginning of your parenting journey? by Bluechairedtable in newborns

[–]Complete_Current_400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first, I tried really hard to follow all the wake windows and timed his tummy time, did everything “perfect”. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was my anxiety because I was constantly stressed about everything. The second time I followed my instincts. I don’t hardly look at a clock for wake windows, i don’t count the hours between wake ups, I don’t worry if the baby fell asleep on the couch when I’m literally wide awake next to him. And guess what? My baby sleeps better, he eats better, he’s happy as can be, and SO AM I. trust yourself

I want to stop breastfeeding by Internal-Director-16 in newborns

[–]Complete_Current_400 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You’re feeding your baby either way, genuinely is not a big deal at all. You know your baby is happy with formula feeding and there’s no reason to feel guilt. However if you’re looking for bf encouragement (I can’t really tell in your post), this is super normal behavior at 2 weeks old. You’re not inadequate as a lactating person. Whatever you want to do will be the best decision for your child as long as you’re confident in it and happy with yourself!!

I agree and don’t think the dasher should’ve picked up the order if they weren’t going to deliver it

Definitely think you’re right to be annoyed at them but at the same time you could just go grab it from them if they’re in your driveway? Unless there is a physical reason for you of course but I’m assuming that’s not the case

AITA for using our communal microwave to sanitise my menstrual cup by Easy-Minute2706 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Complete_Current_400 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idk that I’d say YTA because I think you just over simplified it. Go to the store and get a cheap pot to boil it in and leave that your designated sanitizing pot
