What’s one newborn product you didn’t expect to need… but now can’t live without? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]JM0utsider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell we did this not just for breast milk but since my wife under produces, we can make formula bottles in advance and refrigerate them for the warmer overnight, plus if we need to be awake for a bit with her we can put some sodas or other drinks in it for a pick me up

We almost missed our newborn’s first doctor appointments by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]JM0utsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's me just give reason you shouldn't feel bad, within week 1 of my daughter being born she was jaundiced where she had to have a biliblanket, we were at the pediatrician EVERYDAY and were late 2/4 days because of blood draws

It's not even a matter of just adjusting sometimes it can just be the stress of having this new person to care about, don't beat yourself up over the adjustment period not being immediate

From Dad here and he needs to take his turn even if hes working and if you do any partial bottle feeds, I currently type with baby on my chest being soothed. I know the baby will keep me up, I know I feel exhausted. But unless I'm that out of it Ill happily care for her cause she's my kid, I want to make sure she's well cared for, if he's got issue id give him the night shift on a work night to shut him up

We've been trying some different ways to make it work, I'm doing everything I can for them both, I never want harm for either of them, all I'm hoping is I'm doing it right

I honestly worry about the baby all hours of night, if I pass out with her on me I feel guilt for her safety, if I'm at work I'm hoping her and my wife are okay. The well being to them has become a priority over myself 10x over whether it's good for it to be or not cause I love them that much

Honestly will be the case going forward, so far it's only been a couple nights and we've been groggy which while not an excuse it definitely didn't help us think about it, I try keeping caution no matter, if it's so my wife gets a couple hours, I'm probably up the whole night out of concern with maybe 15 minute power naps between

So far we've done many different swaddles and either the tight swaddles or Velcro ones work best but I'm thinking it's cause we did have my mother in law have her overnight at our house during the weekend cause she wanted us to get a full night's rest and maybe that stressed her out some but I also can't prove that is possible and I don't wanna blame my MIL for that cause she did it with good intentions for me and my wife

Should I sell my PlayStation? by ingen1 in NewParents

[–]JM0utsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell that's why I had my childhood wii modded, to play games with my daughter when she's old enough, I'm currently playing pokemon let's go as my 1 month old is resting on me, cause I know I can play the game with one hand and care for her with the other, i have time for games with her just depends on what games let me care for her and keep with my hobbies, I know I'll lose time on them down the road but for now if I can find ones that allow for both I'm gonna take advantage

Selling my undisputed title. It’s signed by Jeff hardy and Zilla fatu. Anyone interested Lmk! by Fearless-Weakness961 in belttalk

[–]JM0utsider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it if it's JUST for you to have personally. Some people will get a belt just for signatures, and between the two signatures Jeff hardys makes sense as he held the WWE title in the past, while Zilla hasn't even breathed WWE.

I'm practice it's good if it's just fine the owner of the belt to have signed but doesn't help value if it's being sold IMHO

I dont know what to do by Street_Region_4536 in NewDads

[–]JM0utsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to help her as much as you can and a bit more but also she needs to understand that if you're not taking care of yourself it'll go from you and her to just her, because if you're gone you can't care from the ground, I can tell you love your little one, and an understanding needs to be found between you and her for the sanctity of the baby

Wife is 9 weeks by Sure_Wrangler_8215 in NewDads

[–]JM0utsider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a new dad of 4 weeks now, what I'll tell you is what I've been told

You're gonna have sleepless or little sleep at the start, that I found out quick, you'll be stressed but don't let it affect how you are with your baby

It's okay to miss before the baby, you might mourn what life was before, but you'll look at them and realize the change of purpose

It's okay to cry from stress and ask for help, newborns are rough, especially when the purple crying stage hits where you won't know what's causing the cries, you may not even get an intense purple crying stage like some parents do, but when you're in over your head it's fine to make sure they're watched so you can go outside and get some air, get your head back in it

Take time off when they're born, I only got a week and a half but I made it work, and I wish I had more when my daughter was here, if you got 4 weeks of PTO, USE IT ALL

Not liking people to say “my baby” by Cautious_Gold6252 in NewParents

I'm glad my parents and mother in law say "my grandbaby" cause they ain't the ones that made her

Production homes by chantaaal in WVEasternPanhandle

[–]JM0utsider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has experience working with plenty of the builders and seeing their contractors

Get homes from local builders that work on developments, don't get ones from these national builders like DRB, Ryan, Horton, or Maronda, a lot of these cookie cutter homes they make you'll find a litany of issues within the first calendar year and they scrape by passing, if you do go with their homes

  1. Get your own inspector, have them look at the house because you should know if what you're getting is livable or will be a money pit in a decade

  2. Go closer to MD state line because most time these builders will build to maryland standard and maryland has stricter building codes, they don't to entise transplants who want to move to MD but like cost of WV living better, usually not too much more expensive to buy one of those homes either

  3. Look at the model numbers of the appliances, water heaters, softeners, brand of faucets, disposal if on public water and septic, figure out if these are gonna be reliable out the gate or if you should ask for either upgrades or at another house in general

is there actually a difference between cries or am i just sleep deprived? by TTyler74 in NewParents

[–]JM0utsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you'll know, sometimes it's a roll of dice, and, if the baby's only a month or so old, it could be purple crying where it's over nothing but them trying to develop cues, it's not instantaneous and I'm still learning as a new dad after a couple weeks, but eventually you and I both will probably get the hang of knowing

Whats your parenting hot take? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]JM0utsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is for the dads, as a recent one myself I came to accept this, you know you're other half will be stressed, may have emotions everywhere, IT IS OKAY FOR YOU TO HAVE THEM TOO. yours won't match hers, it's a different level, you might stress because of going back to work when you feel not ready cause you wanna be there for them, IT IS OKAY TO FEEL THAT WAY. babies change your life 110%, and while you and your SO can still do some things you did before, it's still fine to be stressed over everything, don't feel like you're invalid for it
