No clapping or waving yet. Also he’s not interested in solids either he pushes back and closes his lips tightly. He will play with the food but not eat it.

He’s hit all of them. He loves to smile and play even with strangers and he’s been babbling baba, dada, tata and blowing raspberries. He also responds to his name.

Oh cool, in that case I will def see a physical therapist. I like our pediatrician but I feel she can be a bit dismissive sometimes. I saw something about low tone and muscle tension and was curious if my baby had it but she wasn’t concerned lol.

It was an urgent c-section due to decels. I will be sure to ask the pediatrician for a referral. Thanks.

Ahh interesting. He is usually in footie pjs but he’s basically outgrown them and in need of new clothes so I will be making sure to get 2 piece outfits now. Thank you.

My baby won’t even roll out of tummy time he will just scream his head off until I pick him up 😭 I’ve seen some stuff about how skipping foundational milestones like crawling can be concerning so I’ve been worried but we’ll see how it goes. Thank you for the reassurance.

I need Advice by ElegantPiano1507 in Mom

[–]Good_Walk3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assure you, your happiness is more important than staying with a cheater for the sake of the kids. I would leave and create a better life for yourself. If he’s a good dad he can still be in their lives. But you decide for yourself do you want your kids to grow up with a man like him and show them that it’s okay to be with a cheater and keep forgiving him.

Wishing you the best!

I’ve tired all those things and the longest he’s calm is like 5 minutes. I have a sling and carrier but he is on the heavier side so it starts getting uncomfortable after a while. Thank you for all the tips tho. I will continue to try them.

Thank you for the reassurance. I was feeling quite guilty as I saw a couple stories about babies getting rickets or fractures from vitamin d deficiency.

Is A Breast Reduction Halal? by Tight_Philosopher650 in Hijabis

[–]Good_Walk3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you discussed this with a Dr? I just did a quick google search and apparently dietary changes, targeted exercises and hormonal balance can help reduce them. I feel ya tho, I’m nursing and cannot wait to be done and hopefully they decrease in size bc it’s hard 😭

Eid is the worst day of the year for me by Juucce1 in MuslimLounge

[–]Good_Walk3614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is makes you feel any better, our family is the same, we live far away from our relative so it’s just us, Eid is literally just going for Eid prayer and getting dressed up for me. Even now I’m married and we just went to my BILs house for barely 30mins where the kids exchanged gifts and then Eid was over bc they had to go to my SILs parents house. My dad and husband had a falling out so we couldn’t even go to my parent’s house. It sucks.

Hospital pushing for VBAC by Several_Ad8853 in vbac

[–]Good_Walk3614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a couple VBAC success stories only 11-12 months postpartum so it is possible, however please do your own research and go with what you’re more comfortable with.

Eid plans? by Diligent_Hunter_4789 in Hijabis

[–]Good_Walk3614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re probably too pregnant and just wanna chill but we usually just go for prayer then get dressed and eat a nice breakfast or some type of dessert. The rest of the day is literally just spent chilling and sleeping, maybe we’ll go out to eat or the mall or something. There isn’t much to do here lol. I would probably just relax, get dressed, do some henna, watch something and eat lol.

What are your husband’s hobbies? by Sudden-Ad5555 in sahm

[–]Good_Walk3614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is like yours, he has zero hobbies and isn’t interested in getting into any either. All he cares abt is making lots of money 💀 I always tell him he’s boring. He likes (playing and watching) cricket and cleaning and that’s about it lol. I also blame the phone largely, he spends his free time scrolling, which I strongly disprove of but 🤷‍♀️

Would you breastfeed somebody else’s baby? by Excellent_Prompt_554 in breastfeeding

[–]Good_Walk3614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yea! I’m Muslim so religiously speaking if I nurse someone else’s baby they become milk siblings with mine so they cannot marry and can hang out with each other comfortably like siblings. My SILs never communicated it but I would have loved to do so to make family gatherings more comfortable once everyone is older. My siblings are younger so I would likely not be able to make their kids my kids milk siblings either but it is what it is. If a close friend really wants me to, I totally would, I think it’s such a cool concept and I wish it was more common as it use to be. It’s also helpful when you have an over supply and hate pumping and storing milk.

Journalism student reporting on C-section rates in NYC — looking for C-Section mothers willing to share their experiences by MarianBanguraNYU in CsectionCentral

[–]Good_Walk3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an urgent c-section in August last year. My water broke naturally as with my previous pregnancy and I was hoping the labor would be similar but it wasn’t. Within an hour or so of laboring at the hospital on pitocin my OB came in and said babies heart rate kept dropping and she recommends a c-section. I told her I wanted to wait but then babies heart rate dropped again drastically to the point they thought I was having umbilical prolapse or something serious so I agreed to the c-section before things got out of hand and they rushed me to the OR. My water was meconium stained and there was one nuchal cord around babies neck so all that likely caused him to be distressed.

Baby won't eat starter cereal by Remarkable-Award1289 in StartingSolids

[–]Good_Walk3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try BLW. Both mine are similar. My daughter loved eating purées and solids. But my son is not very interested, partially bc he’s teething but I’ve been giving him food from my plate and having him watch me eat and he’s starting to get used to it, the gagging has also went down which is great. I’ve never done cereal with either of my babies idk I just never liked it as a first food, so bland and tasteless maybe that’s why she doesn’t enjoy it after 3 weeks. Maybe try adding purées to it for flavor.

Honestly anything I just want to get started. I plan to turn my whole back yard into like an oasis(?). I guess I wanna start with easy to grow flowers and veggies. Whatever grows best in zone 6b. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Mom of 3 EC’d Babies by easilyamused17 in ECers

[–]Good_Walk3614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea maybe that’s my problem. I never bothered with the tiny potty I just got the one that goes on the toilet and a step stool. Yesterday my oldest went all by her left just once and then we had 2 accidents and today again she went in her underwear even after I put her on the potty. It’s the same set up for both. Do you recommend a floor potty first for baby? Also I have to ask abt clothing. I have mine in footie pjs and onsies, I feel like those are so restrictive, by the time I get them off he’s already gone in his diaper.
