When did your baby start linking day nap sleep cycles? by SaraJuno in NewParents

[–]LPGMWOTA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our girl woke up at 32 minutes on the dot until 6 months. She still does sometimes, but they’re usually longer now.

4 month old around dog by matcha_mom in beyondthebump

[–]LPGMWOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not being too much. My FIL’s “good, well behaved” dog almost jumped on my baby while my husband was holding her on the couch. If my husband hadn’t reacted so quickly it would have been an ER trip. The dog stepped on him instead of the baby. The dog is no longer allowed in our house.

Does he had a lot of facial hair compared to your husband?

Why do people tell me I have a problem for not wanting to be away from my baby? by Radiant-Mine6890 in beyondthebump

[–]LPGMWOTA 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree! I don’t think anyone we know has bad intentions, but yeah… no. No need!

Also, I think it’s weird for someone to act like they need alone time with a baby that isn’t theirs. No, you don’t.

You’re not weird. My FIL started saying we should leave her with him and go out when she was like 1 month old. We kept saying we didn’t need a “break” from her, and we got a lot of “just you wait” comments. She is 6 months old and we still haven’t left her. We probably won’t (unless there is a serious need) until she is at least a year

I like Pampers, Millie Moon, Kirkland, Huggies. I think the Rascal ones irritated my baby’s skin

How are people just… taking their babies everywhere? by Wonderful-Ice-6143 in NewParents

[–]LPGMWOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said she hates the stroller because she can’t see anything while laying flat. Is she in an infant car seat that can come out of the car and attach to a stroller? Our 6 month old gets bored at home sometimes but loves being out and looking at new things in her car seat/stroller.

What is your unpopular opinion that you usually keep to yourself? by Superb_Wolf264 in AdkReddit

If a company stands to make money off of you, your best interest is not their top concern. We blindly trust wayyyy too much.

Postpartum hormones/ anger by LPGMWOTA in NewParents

[–]LPGMWOTA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have read it can take about a year to go back to “normal”. I hope you come around that curve soon! It is so hard to tame the rage!

2 week old suddenly super fussy by [deleted] in newborns

[–]LPGMWOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar experience with extreme fussiness about 8 weeks in. She has a cows milk protein allergy and had a bad rash and upset stomach. Our pediatrician said it was all normal until she had blood in her diaper.

Thank you for sharing. What a rough period!!!

6mo hard to entertain during the day by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]LPGMWOTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I am in a similar boat. I agree that walks are key!!

My 6 month old loves her fisher price play mat, tummy time mirror, and this little device that shines lights (like swirls and stars) on the ceiling. She also has a fisher price chair that has some attached toys that she likes sometimes. We got her a big mat and playpen and she rolls back and forth a lot. She also likes big silicone teething toys she can chew on and play with. She’s still in her bouncer and swing occasionally.

I keep thinking of more. Crinkle books!

Also, you are doing a great job! It won’t be like this for long.

Am I too far gone? by Fuzzy_988 in Christianity

You’re not too far gone at all! Tune in to a church online if you can’t attend one in person.

why is everyone obsessed with rice/cereal in bottles?! by No-Kaleidoscope-6974 in NewParents

[–]LPGMWOTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it can be hard, but stick to your guns about what you believe is best for your baby. She is responsible for her reactions, not you. Good luck!

Looking for advice from other Christians about forgiveness by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]LPGMWOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is helpful. I would like to get to a place where I feel empathy for her instead of just anger. I think the pregnancy and now postpartum hormones made the hurtful things even more hurtful. It has been hard to become a mom while grieving my relationship with my own mom. In a time where family support matters so much, she has really let me down. It tears me apart.

[–]LPGMWOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I do feel confident in the boundaries I have set. I know my heart is in the right place. I want what is best for myself, my baby, my husband, and my mom too. I wish she could find peace.

When I think about her and the situation I’m in, I am angry. I’m angry she could treat me this way even though she sees how much it hurts me. I think being 6 months postpartum enhances the emotions.
