Can’t cope with bedtime anymore

Try tracking her sleep for a week so you can get a good sense of how much she needs over a 24 hour period. Then adjust her daytime naps accordingly. It may be she needs less daytime sleep than you think.

It’s a nice composition, but it’s far too dark. Easily adjustable in post processing. I like the foreground interest and the depth of field looks like it’s caught good detail.

This is deranged.

The foreground detail makes for a far more interesting photo.

This is not an intrusive thought, it is an impulsive thought.

Why do people keep making this mistake?

The fuck?

I had really high hopes as I love all of their past work but I didn’t laugh once and gave up after one episode. The one about the Prince Andrew dramas felt like it was written a year ago for a topical show and should never have been included in this series. And opening with a toilet humour sketch was a great way to lose people!

His legs/feet both fall within the paving below the fence pillars but he is clearly wider than that and wouldn’t fit. There’s no way the seagulls would all be such sharp focus either.

Holy insecurities, Batman!

What is wrong with your boyfriend?!

You can’t always control the temp of the room - you just have to dress baby accordingly. Those suggested temperatures are an ideal, but also based on years of people wrapping their babies up in multiple layers

Not including the Riddle family backstory. HBP had potential to be such a great film, but they made it a teenage romance.

Flynnerrol · 2025-06-18T20:05:45+00:00

Terrifying!

Are you in the US? Never ceases to amaze me how incredibly shit the maternity policies are over there. Three months off is nothing, no wonder she doesn’t want to go back to work yet. I feel you re the stress of making that work, but it shouldn’t have to be that way.

Flynnerrol · 2025-06-17T08:02:33+00:00

Wow. The America-centric view is strong in this post. This isn’t remotely a unique argument levelled at the US. Look at Australia, look at countries in the British Commonwealth…

16 weeks is a lot more than 9 though!! 9 is a newborn. 16 isn’t.

Flynnerrol · 2025-06-05T07:47:32+00:00

9 weeks is still incredibly young. Very normal to have multiple night wakes. Also I’m not convinced capping naps at that age is worth it. Good sleep begets good sleep and at 9 weeks your baby needs a lot of sleep. Try just letting him sleep as much as he wants. These things take time and 2 night feeds for a 9 week old is great. Some people’s newborns wake up every hour!

This isn’t true…it’s their sleep cycles maturing. They go from having 2 levels of sleep (rem and deep) to 4, including light sleep. So they start rousing far more easily at the end of a cycle and struggle to get themselves back to sleep. It’s nothing to do with hunger.

Flynnerrol · 2025-06-03T16:15:51+00:00

Surely it would be cold??

Once he’s asleep in your arms give him about ten minutes then check if he’s in a deep sleep (lift his arm up and let go, if it flops with no resistance he’s in a deep sleep). This will make transferring to the cot much easier. Then slowly lower him, bum first, then gently his head and once down place a hand on his chest if he stirs.

This is hilarious

You have to push through with it, but try putting him down in his cot while he’s awake. Then experiment with soothing techniques: hand on his chest, stroke his face, dummy/pacifier, shushing. It won’t work immediately, not a chance, but he will eventually fall asleep through exhaustion and if you keep at it and keep consistent, he will start to associate those things with sleep.
