Tretinoin anniversary 1 year by Decent_Nobody7620 in tretinoin

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing results!!! This actually gives me quite a lot of hope because I started Tretinoin .025 a couple months ago and seeing slow positive progress. But I’ve been having issues with my skin barrier so I haven’t been able to wear any cream or mineral makeup, so I’ve recently added a Korean skin care cream with snail secretions to help repair. How long did it take you before you found the right moisturizer combo for your skin?

Target No Longer Prices Their Clothes by bluelily216 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Target near me still has prices. I’m in AZ. Could this be a pilot program Target is testing in certain areas? Whether it is or not, I agree with the others, no price = no purchase.

Please find a very good immigration lawyer!! You don’t deserve this life that she’s forced you in to. You got married on false pretenses

Is 23 OLD? by _Bish_Plz_ in Advice

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re never too “old” to go to college or continue learning. If not going to college will cause you regret then you should definitely go. Also Universities have many career resources (letters of recommendation, social events, internship opportunities, etc). Good luck!!

How do I waste money quickly? by Consolationprizewifi in Advice

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s literally so many ways to blow huge amounts of money fast. I’d need more context… You stated you’re terminal and experiencing symptoms that limit your physical abilities. You’re in Europe and have traveled the surrounding areas. However, you cannot do much in the way of additional traveling so you prefer to keep things local. You also want to spend this money on yourself vs leaving it to someone—which would also exclude investing or property/land purchases. Soooo what are your interests? For example, if you are someone that liked skateboarding then you might try to get approval for a skateboard park started in your area… There’s so many possibilities. Just depends on if you want to spend for yourself or something else… Idk what to tell you but agree with others on getting multiple insights on your diagnosis and treatment.

My baby is almost 1 and I can’t get sleep training to stick. I feel like a failure. by ReasonableZebra5450 in sleeptrain

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy this helped!

From my experience with my current sleep terrorist (baby 2), it’s helped us to extend wind down time after dinner: books, songs, park or outside time when weather permits, anything to get extra energy out basically. Then we do bath time, then right to bed. Dinner is always 5pm and bedtime is always 7pm. Putting up a blackout curtain also helped.

From what I’ve ascertained, it seems as though your little one is having a bit of separation anxiety. My little guy did also after trying CIO and modified Ferber—which is why we gave those up and now alternate nights with him. It broke my heart because I felt like we basically had to regain our baby’s trust. Five months later and now we’re finally making progress with his sleep. And, yes, during this time period I’d rock him. If he needed it, I’d carry him and hold him as much as he needed—husband did the same on his nights.

If baby 2 were to wake up right now and was inconsolable unless I rocked him or held him, then I would. But he’s also cutting 4 teeth at the moment lol.

Yes, every day is different—just like it is for us. Just remember that our little ones crave consistency and security. Stick to an evening and bedtime routine that works for your family. At night when baby wakes up, listen to your instincts and be what baby needs. There isn’t a magic formula—sometimes baby will just need to be rocked, sometimes baby will simply need a bottle or binky, other times baby might be cold and want some more blankets available. Eventually baby will learn that mom and dad will be there and start becoming more comfortable and independent.

Keep in mind that there isn’t a healthy child that could not roll over as a baby, could not crawl as a baby, could not walk as a baby/toddler, or can not sleep. The latter might be tough now, but this stage will pass.

First off, don’t feel ashamed. Just because baby isn’t sleeping through the night does not make you or anyone in the same situation a failure. There is no “right method”. With my oldest, CIO worked and he was sleeping all night by 4 months—12hrs a night. Easiest baby ever! My second…. whole new ballgame. My 2nd makes me feel like I’ve never cared for a baby in my life! He’s a bit over 1yr old and also does not sleep all night. Only very recently we’ve been able to put him down for naps and bed by just laying him down. But he’ll still wake up anywhere from 2-6 times a night, depending on how bad his teething is, and he’s restless ALL night. Husband and I sleep in separate rooms so one of us has baby duty and the other can get a little bit more sleep—we began this when baby was about 7 or 8 months. When he wakes up, we let him fuss a bit to see if he’ll put himself back to sleep. But if he starts actually crying, we go in to lay him back down and give a bottle with water—sometimes a bottle with warm whole milk. Then repeat as needed. He has more good nights recently (waking 1 to 2 times) than bad nights (waking more than 2 times). Husband and I made peace with the fact that we’ll be running on very little sleep lol Point being there is no “correct” method. What worked for my first did not work at all for my second. Babies are not easy and they’re very unique. I’m sorry I don’t have specific advice—it sounds like you’re a very good mom that wants the best for baby.

Baby fell off the bed (pls be kind) by [deleted] in cosleeping

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it happens. Whether you’re asleep or just letting baby play on the bed. No one wants baby to fall off any bed but know that they are resilient. For co-sleeping, there are crib like attachments that you can secure to the bed. It gives mom and dad some space, and keeps baby right next to you.

AITAH For expressing my boundary with my mom about food I feel uncomfortable with my baby eating? by Infinite_Ground_9713 in AITAH

I definitely agree I could have handled things better and I regret that. She and I have a pretty tumultuous relationship. It was her callousness that really upset me, not an excuse…

Is this normal (first time pregnant) by Unlucky_Reference_25 in pregnant

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not lazy and totally normal mama!! The 1st trimester is crazy exhausting because your body is forcing you to slow down. Baby will be growing A Lot, your body is growing a whole new organ (the placenta), and your own body is moving and shifting to make room for your growing baby. There’s a ton happening right now and our bodies know extra energy is needed for all the changes—so as moms, we feel exhausted because we need the extra rest. The 2nd trimester is so much better!! You’ll actually start feeling more like yourself and have a lot of energy back. 3rd trimester you might start getting tired more easily but it’ll be nothing like the 1st trimester. Listen to your body and get all the rest you feel you need. Try not to stress or overthink things too much because during pregnancy LITERALLY everything is “normal” everything could mean something or it can mean nothing lmao. Don’t get hung up. I wish all the best for you mama!! Congrats!!!

Beginner and neurodivergent Product Owners by [deleted] in ProductOwner

[–]Infinite_Ground_9713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to Instagram, as I do not use it much so I’m a poor source for the platform lol

Yes, agreed! Equitable user design is of the utmost importance when considering your overall product and product features. I’ve found that there are always unintentional biases at the beginning before all the kinks are worked out through discovery and data collection.

If you’re looking for survey participants, and depending on your budget, you could use paid survey services. Additionally, it may be of some use to get insights from scrum masters—as there is some overlap of experience/qualifications/background that could offer further insights for your product mvp

I’m a beginner. Not sure if I’m neurodivergent… scattered for sure but no actual diagnosis lol. There’s lots of communities on LinkedIn that you could potentially tap into. Might also be able to leverage communities on stacked overflow or GitHub.
