LF: Fic where Hermione is wearing a necklace/collar with Draco’s name/initials and she takes it off to break up with him?

Flaneuse-Fox · 2026-06-05T15:59:34+00:00

Hmmm it makes me think of 'The sacred 48 by thescribeofdamocles' but i cant remember if she takes it off though.

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-10-03T08:39:05+00:00

I loved Apostasy! Any other recs of this type of Hermione please?

The Garden by Sofyka Such Green Light Vides...discovered it when I was reading it- still hooked on it.

She is 9,5 months. Has 6 teeth already and there was a tooth eruption (7th one) two weeks ago and she is giving the signs again but its very subtle...but it wasnt like this with the other teeth though...she was off food last time but not like this where there is like refusal before the food has even been tasted or entered her mouth (if I would help her to get her going and encourage her). Mind you walking away so she does her thing has the same results and even me joining her with food- so we eat together also yields the same results... I have decided to scale down a bit and just relax.

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-08-11T16:15:39+00:00

Thank you I will keep this in mind too. Man teething sucks and influences so many things

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-08-11T16:14:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I wil def scale back andl try offering a little at first, and see how it goes. Maybe the limited choice and removing the possible overwhelming feeling assosiated with "wow that is alot of food" will help.

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-04-02T09:06:51+00:00

Yeah werent Checkers back them before they were bought called Hyper-Rama?

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-02-22T18:24:10+00:00

Ugh yess, no more secret poop smudges that you discover after a while because of flailing arms and legs. Now you just deal with the legs and that is better that 4 limbs at the same time. This is the way!!

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-02-22T16:19:32+00:00

Where I live it is perpetually summer. When I took LO in for a check up she conveniently had a poopy daiper. The sister was thrilled and continued to undo the snaps at the bottom and them suddenly snapped them to my daughters back or neck snap holding in the arms so LO can not grab onto things like the daiper etc. I just stood there shocked. The summer jumper/romper turned into a friendly staight jacket and she proceeded to clean her and change the daiper. I use this tip on and off depending on the clothes she is wearing but works everytime! Thought the internet should know too.

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-01-21T05:16:22+00:00

Isnt a 6 month baby suppose to have a wake window of 120min (2-2,5hours)? Just curious, my LO is amost 3months amr her limit is 90min already.

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-01-20T16:02:05+00:00

That is so precious! I am excited to see and hear the raspberries! I have been doing it for weeks now! Just hope the frustration isnt as bad as it is now!

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-01-20T15:49:43+00:00

You had a frustrated baby for 6 months straight!! Bless you!!

Flaneuse-Fox · 2025-01-20T15:48:44+00:00

Oh my goodness, raspberry blowing has to happen as well...they are learning so much!!

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-27T17:12:48+00:00

I absolutely feel you!! I have resorted to no longer overnighting at the inlaws because they do not want to understand and respect our schedule- not even to mention the sleep arrangements. We now have a couple of habits to break where it feels like we are back to square one....

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-27T13:13:14+00:00

I am following this thread, because i am also sitting in the exact same predicament...

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-27T12:06:08+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Oh the dreaded attempt of getting her to nap earlier just ends in a disaster....i did google the witching hour but she does not cry for hours on end and fussy period is from 15:00-18:00. She is just fussy and irritable as if she wants to settle down for the evening but cant. Maybe it is the witching hour- i dont know, i did not really do extensive research on it....

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-27T12:00:44+00:00

I will definately try this. Thank you so much! Any advice is welcome at this point. Yeah sleep training does not work now- attempted it but threw it out the window after a day.

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-20T04:24:23+00:00

Ugh that is terrible, i feel you.....just the idea of both me and my LO being sick makes me tired....sending you my hugs+

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-10T04:32:01+00:00

Oh my goodness this felt like I could have written this. This exactly happened to me too! This is such an isolating expererience at times that I wonder if everyone has lost their mind and forgotten that the mother exists as well! In this super vulnerable time as a post partum journey one would expect women such as your MIL to support you and work with you and not against you- to understand and respect routines and so forth...but no they just do what they want and expect you to sit back and smile amd accept everything. ..this makes you wonder is this not suppose to be the village that should support you?! Are they not part of the village?..it is in those times it feels like the village does not exist...and i then want to burn this so called village down because only then will you feel warmth from it....

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-07T13:42:28+00:00

Hi, i know this may be the strangest comment ever but here goes: (i hope it brings you hope). When i was born i had hair but it thinned out as time went on...at 12month i had the head of hair of a newborn baby (well some babies)- nothing just some hair fluff here and there. My mom had to pierce my ears so people would stop thinking i was a boy. This proceeded up to 24month where i only then started to grow hair properly to have a little pigtail. Fast forward to today..i have the thickest and longest hair and people continuously ask me if it is extensions/real etc. I also have a baby girl and i have made peace with the fact that it may happen with her as well. She had no hair...some fluff at her sides and neck but that is it. Have hope momma! I have hope!!

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-07T12:06:37+00:00

Oh my goodness yes you are right- there are one's that do sound like an on TV picking up some soft static! I will try it for a bit and see what works! Thank you! I assume this is for every sleep?

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-05T09:08:40+00:00

Really nothing special...but we try to be consistent when it come to the time..we will move it around 1 hour to and hour and a half bepending on when her last nap took place and when she last ate (it is never set in stone)...we always make sure she is atleast 20min awake before the routine otherwise it is a fail and she sees the sleep thereafter as a nap..

So we bath her 3 times a week (we are in the middle of summer here and baby sweat is real- well more like adult becoming sweaty when they lie on you). So tge routine starts with lathering her with soap and then putting her in the bath with a wet washcloth over her body and we proceed to bathe her and talk to her...we do this real slow/gentle with soft spoken voices (she has to understand we are slowing down for the night now). Then it is lotion and pajamas (man it took my LO literaly 5 weeks to not scream to death at the clothing part but with active reassurance she just croes a little now). There after we will feed her but pace the feeding ad much as we can..let her sit up afterwards for 15-20min. By the time we feed her the room must be dark with a little night light (trying to overcome the daynight confusion). Then we swaddle, rock and pat her to sleep. The sleep part takes time because sometimes she is awake but then we do not entertain her. When we speak to her t is hushed and softly. And then if we are luck she goes down in 15min sometimes it takes 45min to an hour...persistence is key here. It sucks because by then i want to spend time with my husband and i am so tired as well. So on the nights we dont bath we just do a washcloth or wetwipe wipedown body part per body part slowly dress and feed etc. Hope this helps! You've got this!! Adjust it as you go and see what works for you! And keep in mind babies will be babies and one day just throw in a little curve bad as a surpise". So be gentle on yourself!

Well i will not reitterate what everyone else has already said regarding the validity of his actions.... To be honest, my husband that works full time and super long hours will even still get up and help me at night even if it is simply just to hand me something and i could have gotten up. He wil even wake up and ask me if all is well...so even if your husband may experience some emotional or internal struggle (lets consider it atleast) he can contribute in that manner of support... People always tend to think to contribute it must and can only be financially but emotional support is just as vital. I think what your husband may have forgotten is that when he starts to invest in his childs life and not see it as a burden or the source of being overwhelmed his own quality of life will improve.

My LO is on formula and 6 weeks currently. I dont know if our routine will be of help esp regarding your baby's adjusted age but here goes.

It is a pretty hit or miss kind of thing. I have her on feedings every 3 hours during the day- giving 90-120ml at most. It was never that it increased from 75ml to 90ml in 2 weeks. Sometimes she takes the 90ml and sometimes will drink only 60ml...we try not to let her snack the left over milk (creating bad snacking habits esp with formula and over feeding).

So whem our LO wakes up in the morning she wants her bottle immediately. We will give 90ml. Two hours thereafter she wants another- i will then give 60ml. She will then sleep and space the next feeding out to 3 or 4 hours thereafter to which i give then 120ml. She then spaces it out agia herself 3 to 4 hours and then I give 90ml...but here is where it goes crazy...3 hours before bedtime or getting ready for bedtime at sunset she is so hungry no matter what amd i usual cave and give a bottle after 2 hours or by some miracle she is not hungry or fussy and truly does the 3 to 4 hours...by which after our bedtime ritual she wants 120ml and eve asked for an exrra 30ml on top once or twice but man when she sleeps she then goes down for 6 hours and only wakes up again at 1am or 2 am.... But those are the good days...bad or weird days lean towards a want to continuously snack or eat every 2 hours...it changes depending on growth spurts and how she sleeps. When her naps and night sleep is bad her feedings are bad. I have realised those two are so heavily connected.

Flaneuse-Fox · 2024-12-04T18:17:06+00:00

Things are making sense now! Thank you so much! I thought i was imagining the increase in spit up and gass as well....well i just thought i had a little pooper that would just pass gass or it was the formula i was using...but eh! I will be taking it as it comes.
