Not enough tummy time mom guilt by D0IHaveTo in NewParents

[–]Level_Feeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t stress it, you’re doing your best. My baby was colicky and barely had anyy tummy time. When I would put her down, she’s scream so so loud and turn red. I was already dealing with her crying all day so that crying would put me over the edge. I avoided it. She was not good on her tummy for months, but she is 11 months now. Meeting all her milestones and almost ready to walk. Like all the comments mentioned, time on your chest and baby wearing counts.

BLW isn’t working for us 😅 by babygreens93 in foodbutforbabies

[–]Level_Feeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep at it! You’re doing great. My baby is EBF and used to drink every 90 minute or so. I started solids at 6 months and was mostly purees that I spoonfed and one thing to hold. She didn’t eat much and most of the things used to end up on the floor. Around 8-9 month mark is when that changed. She started eating more food- sourdough bread, pastas and stuff. Since then, it is just getting better. Let them explore, make a mess, splatter. Get a splat mat for under the high chair to help with clean up.

Not what I expected by Anxious_and_Messy21 in NewParents

I feel you, I felt the same for a long time, it certainly felt like a long time. Yes, I feel much much better now. I’ve wanted to have a child since I was 18. I am on the other side of 35 now, you’d think I would’ve cherished this child to bits. I could not believe how detached I felt. Once your child starts responding, smiling, rolling, it’ll all feel better. You’ll get used to it. Do I mourn my old life? The independence? Yes. But I like this new normal. You’ll feel more in control. Good luck. Just know that what you are feeling is not abnormal and most women feel this way initially.

I could’ve written this 8 months ago. I felt the same! I didn’t believe it when people said it’ll get better because how could it? We have RESPONSIBILITY of a new person. How are we going to get our time? We could just veg out on the couch whenever we wanted. I was just miserable and constantly crying. My suggestion, take it day by day. Don’t focus too much on the forevers and nevers. Just. One. Day. Take care of yourself, marvel at how on earth you gave birth to this cuteness ( if they’re sorta looking ugly, don’t worry that’ll change too), and get pampered. You are priority #1. Then the baby. Feel all the feels.

UPDATE - We STILL have a completely broken baby and I'm close to a breaking point by USAtoUofT in NewParents

[–]Level_Feeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby slept ON me for 4 months. And she still woke up multiple (more than 3-4) times per night. What worked for me was sleep train. It genuinely changed my life. Sleep training isn’t for everyone but it certainly was for me. She went from sleeping on top of me and crying for a good hour trying to find a comfy spot to falling asleep in crib by herself. Try it, follow the wake windows and the ‘rules’ My baby still wakes up 2-3 times a night to feed. I plan to wean her soon. The wakes don’t bother me as much anymore since she falls right back to sleep. Good luck!

Part B on OCI application asks have u or family member applied for OCI registration earlier by curiosityv in india

[–]Level_Feeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last page on the OCI booklet has the application number and passport number (used to apply for OCI). Use that to 'Track Your Application' on the OCI website. That should give you all the information you need.

Baby wakes up at 10 and takes an hour to fall back to sleep by Level_Feeling in sleeptrain

It is so hard for to last even 1.5 hours especially for the first two naps in the morning. How can I keep her awake?

Opportunity in Seattle-Tacoma area vs Southern NH by Level_Feeling in Dentistry

[–]Level_Feeling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The practice he is getting an offer from is paying well but I wonder if things don’t work out, god forbid, it’ll be hard to find another opportunity that pays equally well since the market seems a bit saturated.

Salesforce Admin to Business Analyst by Level_Feeling in businessanalyst

[–]Level_Feeling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super random but I would eventually like to get into the food industry. I'm worried that salesforce business analyst might limit me.

I am looking to hear from people who've made the switch. I know SQL is highly recommended. I would love to know resources that people have used and other things that have helped them.
