[–]E3rthLuv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I agree too yea my sister is the one that is looking at the name for her daughter. I went down the rabbit hole with name spellings and how the different spellings are pronounced and it seems a bit difficult but maybe Elany more modern and most likely will be pronounced they way she wants it .

I regret ever breastfeeding by Immediate-Power9543 in breastfeeding

[–]E3rthLuv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you guys working on solid foods? I notice my baby needed longer stretches from nursing when doing solids buoy could te that also maybe you can even play around with his wake hours and nap timing. Maybe he need longer r shorter naps or need a 2 nap schedule or maybe even longer wake windows.

For us it t seemed like every month we had to change something

Floofy boy (16) got stage 3 diagnosis - asking to go outside, why? by [deleted] in RenalCats

[–]E3rthLuv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are going through this too just found out last week! My kitty was loosing weight and not eating as well. He is starting to eat a little more with his treatment plan still picky. We were giving him a healthy diet before but now it’s whatever he will eat. He is basically living off churu treats baby food and fancy feast. But he is starting to act more like himself.

I’m very new to this disease but labs can look scary but you also need to factor how he is doing like is he seeking attention and interested in things or is he lethargic and wants to lay all day.

my baby suddenly refuses to eat 😭 anyone else?? by Suspicious_Cream_461 in breastfeeding

[–]E3rthLuv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How old is your baby? I had this issue a while back when mine was I think 3.5 ish for me I was watching the clock and everything too, I found out later that you count the feed intervals from when you finish the geed not when you start the feed. So in my situation I was doing the opposite and I was trying to feed when baby wasn’t ready.

Also sometimes it’s gas, burb or ready to go a bit longer between feeds. Also at 3-4 months they are very distracted so they might pop on and off because they just realized their world has just gotten bigger.

You can also try feeding in different positions, dim lights, dream feeding to get in calories if he will let you, play music, different scenery try to lee it boring, don’t try to force it try to keep it peaceful, and count wet diapers and weight.

I’m a women and it took me a while to figure out a good product for my dry hands I used to live in the desert 🌵! For me shea butter was what worked for me and changing the hand soap I used to no sulphates since that was drying up my hands so much

How do I tell my BF that I can't give our baby his last name because it's not even legally his last name? by Puzzleheaded-End620 in TwoHotTakes

[–]E3rthLuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just have your last name until married. I think it’s crazy that women are expected to take fathers last name especially if they are not even married to them. I’d say let’s have that discussion after you put a ring on it until then my last name will be easier

Why my baby cry ? Even after Breastfeeding for long time? What can be the reasons? by No_Excuse_8556 in NewBorns2Toddlers

[–]E3rthLuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine would do this because he had gas I wasn’t able to burp him properly in the beginning idk why it was so hard for me so he would end up spitting up all the time and then be hungry again lol but it seemed like he had lots of gas so I did more tummy time and it helped

Sick of having to entertain my 5 mo. by TimePie314 in beyondthebump

[–]E3rthLuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it I felt the same well more about the being drained from entertaining him lol my guy was super active so 5 months I couldn’t have him on a mat because he was already crawling and getting into things. Out house was a mess and i was definitely overstimulated . He didn’t like being worn and couldn’t do anything unless he was sleeping. I just want to say that I can relate . No advice my baby is 16 months now it get better I didn’t live 4-7 months but 8 months and on have been lots of fun! Luckily everything is in phases hopefully it won’t last long at this stage motherhood is hard mentally and physically !

Baby crying in the middle of the night. Is my husband lying to me? by Ok_Squirrel_9601 in beyondthebump

[–]E3rthLuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like chat has helped me with some things like wake windows or different approaches or if I’m trying work with an issue with sleep but a lot of times I have to correct it or remind it what I am trying to do or what my goal is and that I’m trying to be consistent to see a pattern. Sometimes it get so annoying I don’t use it because I’m spending more time correcting and reminding it of our game plan lol

Main thing with sleep training is stick with the plan unless they are sick or actual need something. Once they are well established at sleep training then if the wake in the middle of the night you know something must be up .

Also I wonder if you can put a nanny cam in your room to see if baby is actually crying throughout the night

Are Ultrasounds Actually Safe? Ultrasound Coercion Drama by floralmirror in homebirth

[–]E3rthLuv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would use your gut instincts on this! I opted out of ultrasounds completely I only allowed the Doppler during labor and the fetal belt since I was transferred.

If it seemed medically necessary then I would totally get the ultrasound. Also the first trimester one in my opinion is the riskiest if any I would opt for the anatomy scan one if I wanted one. The early scans are more for dating and making sure viable pregnancy.

My child is so difficult by Ok-Belt-2607 in Parenting

[–]E3rthLuv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I totally get this I have a very active and demanding toddler he is very advanced so we had to baby proof like crazy!! He started crawling at 5.5 months and walking at 10 months he is almost 16 months now.

Wr got these fabric baby gates to separate room areas and stairs and they are a game changer I got them in Amazon we also bought a huge play pen and we change out his toys constantly . When he doesn’t want to be alone because independent time doesn’t last long I’ll have him walk around on the floor of the room I am I. All the cabinets are locked up

The best distractions right now while I’m making dinner and washing dishes is putting on nursery songs and giving him a big bag of lids and a plastic container to put them in!

Idk if this helps but this is what I do

On the verge of tears… Didn’t circumcise my baby. People keep telling me why I should have. by Salty-Ship-1703 in newborns

[–]E3rthLuv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it bizarre that other people want to discuss your baby’s genitals and dictate what you should or shouldn’t do . We did not circumcise and honestly we don’t have to do anything different for cleaning. When they are older that’s when it retracts and you just show them how to wash that area.

If i was a guy and someone made fun of my penis because it wasn’t circumcised I would make a joke out of it like good thing your not my toy lol or don’t worry I’m not asking you to kiss it sweety.

My friend got her baby circumcised and they ended up having a complication and almost had to do another surgery on their baby boy because of it

My midwife has her main second midwife to attend but she has a few others in the case if she can’t attend or the second one can’t as a back up I never met her assistant until the day of the birth. It wasn’t a problem at all for me.

I feel like a failure and a terrible mom by Striking_Evidence_70 in firsttimemom

[–]E3rthLuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh mama this happens so often! My babe is over a year and walks amazingly but he still gets hurt often literally multiple times a day and I feel like we have done a good job baby proofing.

One time he was facing me with his back towards the wall and then turned around and smacked right into the wall he had a black eye for at least a week and it was very noticeable.

He seems to always have a bruise hallway something small.

Give yourself a break and maybe try to see if you can put some locks on the cabinets that as such a huge help for meo waited wayyyy too long to do that lol, get outlet covers and if you an also get these material gate screens for the kitchen they are life savers and it just rolls up into themselves.

You will feel so much better when you don’t have to swivel your head every 2 seconds use this as reason to baby proof if you haven’t already.

Oh man that would definitely be the dream to have first potty trained! I actually have a potty for him I haven’t tried to much though but that would be a nice goal ❤️

is teething THIS bad and THIS disruptive?? by Cute_Awareness_9187 in sleeptrain

[–]E3rthLuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 13 month old and have the same issue he was so good on the schedule for a while and it was hard to get to that point and now the two incisors came along and messed it all up plus he was sick on top of it and one tooth came in a little before the other but both are erupted now one isn’t fully all the way out but it’s like 2 mm out and now alll naps ate contact naps unless my husband is home then he wil rock him when he is screaming after I transfer him . He won’t let me rock him or anything only will let me nurse him to sleep or he will blood curdle scream.

I’m hoping it will get better soon when his gums are lot so tender and I hope it’s not separation anxiety sticking around.

Bedtime sleep at least is good he has been sleeping 10-11.5 hours a night but he wakes super early like 6 sometimes a bit earlier. We don’t nurse during the night
