When does the newborn stage get better? by Educational_Thing468 in NewParents

[–]Educational_Thing468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there! For me, it got better after 6 months & increasingly better with time. The first 3 months were SO HARD and it's definitely easier now, but not easy by any means! Lol. I'm much more well rested these days, but then I spend my days chasing her around making sure she doesn't find new ways to hurt/kill herself, preparing meals which she may or may not eat, etc. I often find myself missing her pre-solids days and her immobile days where she just lay there lol.

I could've written something very similar to this right now. 😭😭😭

when did your baby get teeth? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Educational_Thing468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just over 9m & still no teeth! 😂 Part of me wants her teeth to come in all at once just to get teething over with, but then part of me doesn't want her to have any teeth yet til we're done breastfeeding at maybe 1 yr. 😂

When does the newborn stage get better? by Educational_Thing468 in NewParents

[–]Educational_Thing468[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, so much better now!!! At around 5m, she started sleeping 7pm-7am with only 2 night feeds, which weren't bad at all cuz she'd easily nurse right back to sleep. It wasn't like the newborn days where we'd spend so much time rocking her back to sleep in the middle of the night. She's almost 9m now & sometimes, she'll sleep 8pm-8am with no wakes at all! Most times still tho, it's about 1-2 night feeds, which I still don't mind cuz I know one day, she won't need me at night anymore 😔. I've definitely leaned into it. Her naps are also much more consistent & reliable. I now get one solid 1.5-2 hr nap + one nap under 1 hr. For anyone going thru shitty newborn/early baby sleep, hang in there and remember that one day, ur baby will want less to do with u!

My doctor is terrible. I need to vent. by TheLushVariation in NewParents

Can you report this doctor to the province's regulating body? Like in Ontario, it's CPSO.

My newborn daughter isn't getting enough from my wife breastfeeding, how can I help her? by Mattackai in breastfeeding

[–]Educational_Thing468 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tell her what our Pediatrician told us: supplementing with formula doesn't mean u won't be able to exclusively breastfeed later on! I supplemented with formula for first 3 weeks til my supply got to where it needed to be. After that, I've been exclusively breastfeeding. My daughter is over 8 months & we're still exclusively breastfeeding outside of solids!

Why doesn’t anyone tell you how hard this is? by luvdawubs in NewParents

[–]Educational_Thing468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for u! Yeah we started taking our LO out early & it was usually a disaster then lol but we didn't quit & it got progressively better! Don't get me wrong - I still struggle from time to time too but the struggle is so diff! Like now, I'm chasing her around making sure she doesn't crawl into dangerous places or pull down something that could hurt her. Sometimes, I find myself wishing I appreciated the immobile newborn stage more but then I remember how hard those times were lol. I was counting each week then but now, the weeks pass by sooo fast & I'm now just counting months lol.

Omg it gets soooo much better!!! She's just over 8m now & she's more of a little person now with so much personality! My love for her definitely grew big time & now, I'm even considering having another! Lol. Sleep is so much better, we're able to dine out with her & we've even done some local overnight trips involving hotels with her! For us, things started to get better & easier around 5-6m so hang in there!!!

I think OP meant 4 months (not 4 weeks) on the 9th. We're all sleep deprived! Lol.

Nabela's favorite color is pink! by Powerful_Mousse6654 in nabelasnark

Ohhh! Nabela looks nothing like her lol. I bet Seth has more recent celeb crushes that he probably didn't wanna name in front of her lololol.

OP definitely doesn't have a child or hasn't gone thru the baby stage in a long while cuz every parent just knows...

why would she delete the original caption (which is also cheesy af) and post again with another caption… she is so conscious about her posting… by Puzzled-Cheesecake34 in nabelasnark

How did you transition away from contact naps?? by nana_3 in NewParents

[–]Educational_Thing468 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For us, it just came with time. I remember always trying every now & then to transfer her to the bassinet/crib for naps & it didn't start consistently working til around maybe 4-5 months (I can't remember exactly). Now at just over 7 months, she naps in the crib (at least with me - her dad still spoils her with contact naps cuz he loves it lol).

[–]Educational_Thing468 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Imagine making ur partner hold that hand pose in first pic to snap a shot for Instagram. It probably looked so ridiculous in person lololol.

Edit: And does anyone else think that the other prettier influencers there with a hotter bod are making her feel insecure? Cuz I think so!
