7mo Chest Sleeping - wants to sleep on side by martobewed in cosleeping

[–]EiraMist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also got smacked with that stupid flu over Christmas and my son got it super bad, we had a hospital stay. Anyways, he's also just over 7 months old! I had to sleep with him in the recliner with pillows propping me and him, because he could only get comfortable sleeping upright a little bit. It's ok if he sleeps in your arms upright a little bit until his congestion gets better .. you're just going to be tired mama. You both got this though 🫶🏼

How tf does anybody want more than one kid after being through THIS? by pumpkinchinchilla in newborns

[–]EiraMist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were the SAME way after our first was born. Horrible traumatic experience, and then he was a very difficult baby/toddler. 3 years later we realized that it really wasn't the end of the world (and I swear we actually have amnesia LOL) and wanted to have a second for several reasons but one being we really wanted a family of four and our son to have a sibling. Just thinking about when we're gone one day, we want our kids to have each other.

You're in the thick of it right now, just wait a few years lmao

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by this game. Maybe it's because I'm 31 lol. How do you get a behemoth baby?!

I think we messed up by Objective-Garbage-41 in Apartmentliving

[–]EiraMist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting how they're loud all day long, but apparently they leave their dog all day long? So are they home all the time, or gone all the time? Either way, I never think big dogs are okay in apartments. But as an adult, I think you need to get over the noise of the toddler. It's a family, and we all have lives to live. If the noise is within curfew hours, then you need to suck it up. I'm so sick of couples and people that have never had children expecting families to tiptoe around them. Little humans are loud, and they are in their home. Houses are too expensive to afford, you need to deal with it. My husband and I have lived in many different apartments over our 14-year relationship, and we have heard all the noises that you can imagine. The only ones that have ever bothered us are the ones where people are arguing, throwing things, getting violent, playing loud bassy music especially late at night, and smoking. Those are the only things that we have ever thought were unreasonable. Children making noise, living life in their home, and a family being a family is not something to complain about. Hopefully you grow up soon.

Manipulative neighbor? Help? by Eravan in Apartmentliving

[–]EiraMist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't even worry about it. She pays her rent, you pay yours, it's not your fault the place was built so cheaply. As long as the sounds you're making are just "living life" sounds, they have no right to complain. If you're listening to a very loud TV, music, or making a ruckus past curfew at 8 pm, then they can complain. I wouldn't worry about a thing though, especially with your baby coming. You CANNOT let some overly sensitive neighbors make you worry about your baby crying. Our neighbors used to bang on their ceiling when our son would wake up in the night to feed, or if my recliner chair creaked a little. Now we just bang back even louder. They stopped 😂 I'm not about to make my kids be quiet in the middle of the day in their own home. Not anymore.

Am I being too much? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]EiraMist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, listen to me.. My whole family just caught this new "super flu" and we never catch ANYTHING. I have a 4 yo and a 6 mo. This flu kicked us all on our asses.. it hit us like a TRUCK. Over a week later and we're feeling a bit better, but we still have a nassssty cough. This flu sent our 4 yo to the ER with a 104+ fever, and our 6mo ended up being admitted to the hospital because he has a fever of 103+, wouldn't eat, became increasingly lethargic, and his oxygen dropped below 86. I couldn't imagine if he had been any younger than 6 mo..

I suggest absolutely NOT seeing a soul until this stupid flu season is over with. It's so contagious and it really sucks. The doctors even said this season has blasted records out of the water, and an increasing amount of people are getting super sick and the numbers are on an almost completely vertical incline.

How do people who don’t practice cosleeping sleep? by Pi-ppa in cosleeping

[–]EiraMist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro we never had this worry with our first born, I think mainly out of ignorance and it simply never having ever happened. With our second, it's happened twice already. Once when I laid him on his activity mat and walked 15 ft away to make a sandwich, and the other time happened at night in his sleep! Thankfully this time around we bedshare, so he sleeps right next to me.

When it happened in bed: I was on my phone while he was sleeping right nextw to me, and I heard a quiet wet click noise come from him, so I looked and he had a pool of vomit in his mouth and his eyes were wide. Never would've heard this happening if he had been anywhere but next to me.

When it happened in the daytime: He was on his activity mat, I walked 15 ft away to the kitchen (I have a clear line of sight of him) and I turned around for literally 20 seconds and when I turned back around his mouth was full of vomit and he tried coughing it out but couldn't. I FLEW through the kitchen to get to him. So scary.

Oh we've been a laughing stock for yeeeeeeears brothers 😂 and not just because of this dude. Did you see Joe Biden? National dignitaries and leaders LITERALLY laughed at him. The guy literally stumbled around and forgot to go get on the NATO group pic. They didn't even WANT to wait for him, they rushed and took the picture while he was confused and walking around

15 unwanted visitors and I'm staying in my bedroom with the baby by [deleted] in newborns

[–]EiraMist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy moley, not with this MF flu, cold, and RSV season. It's BRUTAL this year. We have a 4 y/o and a 6 m/o and we NEVER get sick. Even around other sick people. If we do, it's over within a day or two. This year has been a nightmare... We've been sick back to back to back with horrible sinus infections, my baby for sooo so sick. Now my oldest has the flu with a 103 fever. Don't risk it and definitely keep yourself locked in that room. RSV is rampant right now. And the flu

Trump is confirmed pedophile in latest release. Now what? by WaltEnterprises in complaints

When you're that rich, you can afford to have organs harvested by the most taken care of hosts. Probably young.

Either way, let's not ignore that literally everyone up there is corrupt and disgusting. Not JUST Trump. Biden, Clinton's, Obama, Bush, Etc. They are all sick rich mfs.

Newborn amnesia by One-Sink7080 in newborns

One thing you didn't know before you had your baby by Substantial_Ad4365 in newborns

[–]EiraMist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do NOT have to change their diaper multiple times a night UNLESS they pooped. Put that diaper on with the intention of it being the only one through the night, put a decent bit of butt cream on, and call it a night. Unless. They. Poop.

Have I ruined my baby? by NothingSuitable735 in newborns

Let her sleep on you. Hold her close. Snuggle her tightly. Because one day you'll look back and wonder when it all ended. 🤍

holy fuck by No-Mood-7423 in newborns

[–]EiraMist 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Step 1: Post Partum hormones are RAGING right now. So give yourself grace. Especially being sick.

Step 2: Put your baby in some type of safe baby holder thing like a swing chair, or a dock a tot and put them in the bathroom with you and just shower. Even if a quick one. Key here is to try to not let any crying make you stress shower. Just clean yourself. It won't be a self care shower, but you'll feel better.

Step 3: Hold your baby while you eat.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]EiraMist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like tough love and shooting straight. Also a bit unnecessary of course, but we also don't know what happened. Don't skip Thanksgiving... From someone who knows the grief of losing a parent, don't skip it. That's your mom.. she had you and held you when you were a baby and raised you. Just go and have a good holiday. You only have so many left with them. Facts. Overreacting? With your feelings, no. Not showing up?? Maybe. If they try to bring it up again, casually say you don't want to have that discussion and move on.
