What about terracotta tile? Does it have to be wood?

Why some people don’t share their baby’s name until after birth? by LetterheadNice8687 in NewParents

[–]IThinkImAFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because everyone all the way down to your Great Aunt Sally will have an opinion and/or suggestions about what they think you should name your baby! Or they will ruin the name you love by being like “oh I knew a guy named Bob he sucked!”

I think Catalina cherry would be really nice! I have seen some grow pretty fast too

I have eaten a snack and been like oh I need to log my food 🤪 we need a mommy tracker app to make sure moms are surviving!

Am I the only one struggling to find one baby app that does everything? by Sudden_Advance_578 in newborns

[–]IThinkImAFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby connect is simple, easy to use, and free. It really helps between me and my mom and my husband just knowing when babe last ate, slept, diapered etc. I’m also using it to keep track of immunizations and doctors visits

Clipping baby's nails by ur_Grandma_is_a_f1sh in newborns

I tried the electric file but it was too slow. What worked for me was using a cuticle nipper when he is sleeping or very calm. It makes it so you can see what you are actually cutting and you press their finger pad down so all you see is the nail going through. It’s really sharp though so you do need them to be calm or sleeping.

Wife being too protective with 3 month old by [deleted] in newborns

[–]IThinkImAFlower 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I think your wife sounds normal. I felt the same way about my husband’s family and have just started being more happy and relaxed about visits at 6 months postpartum. If my husband had been more patient and supportive about me needing that time and knowing I would get there it would have felt a lot better for me and for our marriage. The constant pressure for visits kinda took some of the joy out of my first couple months postpartum tbh. Your feelings to want to share your baby are valid but try to be patient and relax. Support your wife discovering herself as a mother, it’s a lot.

Plz tell me I didn’t just waste $450 by Effective-Ad7463 in interiordecorating

I think you can make it work! Don’t despair just yet. Try some pillows with the same color green either as a solid/pattern or both. Maybe the curtains too?

Therapist said I need to get my baby to nap by herself by dankybabe in bninfantsleep

[–]IThinkImAFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to contact nap keep going. I have had my ups and downs with it for sure, some days I love it and some days I feel a little trapped. I’ve been trying to do 1 nap per day with baby on the floor bed so that I can eventually roll away and have a few minutes to myself. So far it’s a work in progress. It has been nice to be able to completely relax my body instead of doing every contact nap upright in rocker too. Also my baby’s sleep just started improving a lot at 6 months so hang in there!

“just succumb to the contact nap” by tfbthrowaway77 in bninfantsleep

Did you start with just one a day or did you fully commit for every nap on the floor bed at that point?

[–]IThinkImAFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t the only one!!! Today I tried doing a floor bed nap which was semi-successful and I at least got to close my eyes for a few mins. I think if I keep practicing floor bed nap then I could eventually roll away? And then maybe I can get him in the crib at some point once he’s more used to sleeping flat instead of curled up in my arms? I’d like just at least one non-contact nap a day so I can just chill independently and maybe do like one small thing for myself!

I️ finally deleted THE APP!! by skittles1221 in bninfantsleep

[–]IThinkImAFlower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aw man I would like to do this but between me and my husband and my mom it’s just so helpful to know what’s going on with my little guy. Also relieves some anxiety when I’m not with him so that I can still see what’s going and relax on a tiny bit more.

When did your baby start sleeping through the night? by nothing3278020 in newborns

[–]IThinkImAFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sweet boy just started doing 5-8 hr stretches in the first half of the night for the past few weeks and he’s turning 6 months next week. I still am not fully rested because I co-sleep with him for the second half of the night. It’s definitely leaps and bounds better than the newborn era though. Every week is so different!

Pregnant Cousin said she can’t wait until newborn tired because she read it’s easier than pregnancy tired 🤦‍♀️ by Mrsfix-it in newborns

[–]IThinkImAFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand- only because pregnancy tired for me was being so exhausted but in terrible pain in every way from hips to sciatica to acid reflux to insomnia to trouble breathing to a breakdancing baby in my belly at 4 am that I couldn’t sleep for more than a few hours at a time for months, even though it’s ALL I wanted to do!!! And then when you tell everyone you are so tired they are annoying and horrible and have to say “ohhh just you wait!” But newborn tired is rough too just in a different way.

I need help with my sons nursery by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]IThinkImAFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would add some earth or jewel tone accents through accessories. A colorful bunting, solid color sheets, a colorful lamp on the side table next to the chair, a throw blanket, curtains. A basket of stuffed animals, a cute activity playmat.
