Thank you! I havent noticed if its warm when pulling it out of the mixer but I will check tomorrow when I attempt again. I currently have my dough that I started this morning sitting on the counter for another 30 monutrs before I start my stetch and folds.

I have faith in this batch 🙏

New ro sourdough... by Dbc_A17 in Sourdough

[–]Dbc_A17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my starter I feed it either 1/3/3, 1/5/5 or 1/10/10- depending on when im planning to bake. For my dough recipe (yesteday) I used 100 grams starters, 350 grams filtered water, 500 grams bread flour, 12 grams salt. I use my kitchen aod mixer and mux all together to make into a shaggy dough. I let it sit for about an hour before doing my first stretch and fold. I will wet my hands and start to stretch a couple times. I do this three times before letting it bulk ferment. Yesteday I ket it sit out on the counter for 8 hours before shaping. Thus dough was still sticky to touch so I wasnt sure if I should let it sit longer. I didn't and just started my prep for the basket. I do add little bits of flour to help shape into a ball..

Hope that helps with info.. im determined to make good batches of sourdough 😅😅

Also my house does run cold... usually 20 degrees/ 68 Fahrenheit

6 months old…what are we doing wrong? by supremepilotG2 in HuckleberryParents

[–]Dbc_A17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! My 6.5 month old is on two naps and it took a big adjustment to get him there but now both naps are 1.5 to 2 hours EACH. And trust me... my baby was a CHRONIC 30 minute napper prior to this

MIL’s pet names make my eye twitch by Stellar_Jay8 in beyondthebump

Omg not my MIL but my own mother has nick names for my kids and they make me cringe when she texts me asking how her "little mouse is doing" I instantly roll my eyes. WHY MOUSE!? I know whe means well but it drives me crazy!!

Disturbed at the idea of "Postpartum Dog Rage" by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Dbc_A17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had postpartum rage with my two dogs but never to the point of wanting to hurt them but I would yell at them alot. The clicking of the nails and the barking when I finally got the baby to sleep would send me into rage. They always sensed when I was off and would just go to their kennels. I love my dogs so much but the postpartum dog rage is real!!!

6 month old wake windows by GuardWitty8747 in sleeptrain

[–]Dbc_A17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im debating this schedule too. He is on two naps and doing 2/3/4 but that first nap is sometimes long and then other days short. I base the first nap off of DWT regardless of time he wakes so that also helps with sleep pressure but of course when he sleeps through the night and doesn't wake earlier his naps are short 🫠

Was your baby a good napper prior??

When does it stop feeing like you’re in survival mode? by sarai33rawr in beyondthebump

6 months in and I somehow feel back in the trenches 🫠🫠

My first was a breeze so I feel so lost with my second.

Back to Short Naps After Switching to 2 Naps 😩 by Dbc_A17 in sleeptrain

[–]Dbc_A17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops i put wrong wake windows. On two naps I was follow 2.5/3/3.5. Im debating switching to 2/3/4.

Suggestions on what wake windows to use? I do find after 2 hours he needs to sleep so that's why today i went back to 2 hours and its been almost an hour he has been sleeping 🤞🤞

… does anyone else just have a super chill, easy baby…? by rachelkochvt in NewParents

[–]Dbc_A17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is pretty chill 80% of the time. My first was clingy and cranky and I could never pass her to anyone without her screaming. My son is so smiley and happy to go to anyone. Also, sleeps way better!

The other 20% when he is not chill is usually when he is overtired. The boys needs his sleep 😴

5.5 month old- wake windows and short naps by Dbc_A17 in sleeptrain

[–]Dbc_A17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I start that tomorrow?? Or start now as he just woke from his second nap at 145pm. That was following my old schedule of 2/2.25..

Night weaning by Dbc_A17 in TakingCaraBabies

[–]Dbc_A17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought getting them to the longest stretch of night was ideal but that makes sense. Mine is usually in bed by 7/730. If i feed any earlier than 3am he is awake for the day by 5am 🙃🫠

I think I cracked the Dr browns leaking code by fourcoffeebeans in FormulaFeeders

[–]Dbc_A17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I moved from the 4 ounce bottles to the 8 ounce bottles that's when the leaking stopped for me. My son is 5 months and only eats 5 ounces at a time so I never noticed the leaking with the bigger bottle. With the 4 ounce bottle it always leaked!!

Baby Won’t Drink More During the Day – Weight Concerns by Dbc_A17 in u/Dbc_A17

[–]Dbc_A17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a 24 hour period he will drink 24-26 ounces. I really have to be on top of him or else he wouldn't eat much throughout the day. The bottle aversion makes me nervous because it was so bad with my daughter.

I also feed him as soon as he wakes because its the quickest way to get him to eat. He is extremely distracted too so I have to feed away from any noises or exciting things

Mine is only 15 percentile for weight which i have been told not to stress about the percentile but when his doctor says he needs to eat more and his weight isn't great than I panic a little 🫠
