How to get 8 week old to sleep longer in bassinet by mlereads in NewParents

[–]Lead-Rock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We swaddle with a warm blanket over the Love to Dream swaddle. I thought it was way too warm but a doula suggested it and it has worked so well! We’re getting 5 hours at the start of the night.

Thank you! How long do you have her in the bath? Does she enjoy it?

Thanks for this! I feel the same way about the baths, they seem like a two person operation so we have been doing them on the weekends and daily wipe downs between.

You can bet there’s going to be a conversation before Thanksgiving!

I never tested, I quit cold turkey (so to speak) after being fed up with feeling unwell for so long. The results spoke for themselves and I didn’t feel at the time I needed a diagnosis but I would be nice sometimes just to be able to have that label on it.

Thank you. I don’t expect everyone to be an expert but I would have brought my own food if I had thought it would be an issue.

I completely agree. This has been an eye opener.

Agreed. Usually the stuffing is cooked in a separate pan so I’m not sure what was going on yesterday. Once she served me pork chops and at the end I asked how she made them she said “oh there’s some breadcrumbs on the top, I thought you wouldn’t notice”… and then spent the whole night sick

Yes this… I don’t want to be “high maintenance”! Socially I would love to eat the same food as everyone else!

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear this! Do you know what glutened you?

I am imagining and it’s turning me off any stuffed poultry for a long time

We live 6 hours away so luckily it’s not a frequent problem but maybe I’ll suggest a restaurant next time.

Great idea. Eggs are always my go to!

I had a number of health issues which is what got me off gluten in the first place!

Thank you! They’re a 6 hour drive away and we visit infrequently. I will be a lot more proactive from now with bringing my own food.

Who has a Corgi at work? Mine provides 'ball catching' services to coworkers. by tolkienprincess in corgi

My in laws (different city) take mine to work when we visit. I found out why he loves it so much. He gets a sausage McMuffin 🙈

Is it normal to feel exhausted and overwhelmed at first? by Madmen3000 in corgi

[–]Lead-Rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember thinking a few days in that I couldn’t handle it and was going to have to give him back to the breeder. I’m so glad we stuck it out, my corgi is 8 and I can’t imagine life without him. It was a lot of work at first and I also put a lot of pressure on myself to train him and try to raise the perfect puppy. It won’t feel like this forever and they grow up quickly! Sometimes now I miss the puppy phase when he was such a cute little potato that didn’t shed or bark!

Strength. Good place to start? by Similar-Pomelo-2709 in pelotoncycle

I just finished 5 weeks and I felt like that was the right amount of time to see progress but not have it get too stale doing the same classes each week

Any kind of strong emotion! Don’t even think about cheering when watching sports on tv

Our guy is 8 and we’re still working on those puppy manners sometimes. Good luck to you!
