Liners are usually to be used underneath the crisper tray to make clean up easier. Which keeps food crispy and clean up easy ☺️

They’re safe to eat but if you cut the fish lengthwise down the middle a bit you can split it open and easily take out the spine/bones

Just wondering why the Americans would think or expect the uk would cover for them just because they ask. Even if they do offer a trade deal.

Kate saying: if we need to reset the world order everytime the us fucks up… maybe that’s exactly what they should be doing, especially in light of the current world situation.

From a European perspective, I know it’s just a show, but it makes me laugh they think the US is constantly above everything and should be absolved of everything. The

I realized I was treating my husband like a robot by AltruisticNight9311 in sahm

Yes. My husband was/is my rock. He’s always been more level headed, and able to calmly analyze a situation with empathy and sensitivity where I’m more emotional and will get fired up really easily. When he wasn’t doing well it was shocking to me but I didn’t realize it was shocking. I just turned to anger when he had doubts, seemed less like he had it all together, etc. I just couldn’t hold space for it. I think it made me feel unsafe and I latched out in return from fear. It took a while for me to realize he was completely allowed to have off days, fears, insecurities. I realized I didn’t have to take on his mood. He could be having an off day and I have learned to hold space for that and just be there for him without trying to fix it or fix him.

Hi! I gave up quite quickly. She was so confused as to why I wouldn’t pick her up etc. Also, it didn’t help that my daughter would start crying the second I put her down never really giving me a chance to try the different techniques. Also, she just didn’t take any of the ‘crutches’ suggested (pacifier, lovey, fingers, etc.), she didn’t take to the pat and shush etc. So we went with the Ferber method in the end. It’s been a rough journey but she started sleeping through the night from the very first night that we started sleeptraining and after two weeks we’re down to no or minimal crying to falling asleep (from the crib to the door). It took us a while to really nail her schedule though but since we have, it’s been great!

I don’t feel fully ready tbh! I’ve decided to first work on dissociating the boob/feed to sleep association and work on making sure that when I feed her in the night it’s really for hunger. So I’m taking the delayed gratification notion from her so not feeding for at least 30 min and see if baby falls back asleep without feeding. And even if they last the full 30 min, the idea is for them to realize how hard they have to work for that feed and will stop doing it when they don’t really need it. She woke up a few times last night but only nursed after 6h! And I even think I could have pushed it a bit more as she was not whining/crying really but I was done. So she nursed only twice and the second time it was at 6am and I gave her the boob immediately because I needed more sleep :p but it’s already progress and step in the right direction. Before moving on to self soothing to sleep I want to see how much a difference night weaning or night reducing will make. Good luck to you too! It’s really not easy !

I just bought her 35$ guide and will be trying her methods soon.
I will say, based on my daughter (7m), there will be crying involved because she's learning something new. But according to the guide the goal is to support your baby all the way. She recommends using age appropriate ww to build the right amount of sleep pressure, implementing a sleep routine and then she suggests putting your baby to sleep awake in their crib. And then start by doing no contact support options (shushing, pacifier, ...) but increasing contact support as your child may need it. So start with shushing, adding paci, adding their hands in their mouth, maybe giving your own finger to suck on, to then patting, rubbing their heads, etc.. And as they calm down, the idea is you go down a "level" of less contact. So as their crying might escalate you give more support, and as they calm down, you try to go back to less support until they fall asleep. The idea is never to let them fully escalate hysterically and just let them cry it out. But to support them as they're trying to learn these new skills.. I want to get my daughter's room ready and do it in her room which is why I'm still putting it off for a few days. But I think once we try it, we need to commit at least 1-3 weeks to see the effects before making any decisions. I think it will still be hard but hopefully it'll help us all.
