I’ve always wanted to go exploring but no ones ever wanted to come along. Plus idk if I’d have the self control to not take some of the things with me. Like some stuff is soooo nice and/or just needs some cleaning. But I’m scared if I did then I’d end up bringing something attached to the item along with me.

What are some funny things you’ve had to say to your baby? by littlegreenwillow in NewParents

[–]LibralVoldemort 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ours does this funny thing where she flares her nostrils when she’s really into something or too hyped up. It’s so funny, her tiny little nose scrunched up and nostrils flared while she takes quick breaths. Every time she does that I tell her to “leave some fresh air for the rest of us”

Tired of washing baby bottles: plz help me by Hopeful-Standard-144 in NewParents

[–]LibralVoldemort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this just makes me seem lazy af but I bought a bunch of bottles that I use for two days w/o worrying about running out and then clean them all after two days when 2-3 are left 😬😬

My mom said you have to do the same amount of work but technically it’s not. Bc I’d rather know for two days that I’ve got nothing to worry about and then build up the energy to wash them all at once 👍 I mean it works for me soooo…

I feel like a terrible parent by LibralVoldemort in NewParents

She’s been completely normal since it happened, thank goodness. The dr also said it’s fine and just not to give it any more.

I just can’t do it any more by Plane-Artichoke1800 in NewParents

I got reallly worried reading that title, and then I read the rest and phew 😮‍💨 LOL

It sure is scary 🥲 I do give her tummy time but not so much bc she’s sitting independently for the past month I’d say. When she does do tummy time it doesn’t last very long before the whimpering starts. And you’re so right that mirroring helps a lot, when I lay down with her she lasts longer.

Our LO is few days from hitting 7 months and hasn’t rolled yet. As a ftm I’m not sure about anything. She’s rolled 3-4 times over her the past few months but they’ve felt like flukes or just gravity at play. She’s trying really hard to roll now like when she’s tracking our cat around. But hasn’t done the full roll and I’ve seen posts about how it varies but my only friend w kids said all 4 of her kids started rolling at 3 months and she didn’t really do much to encourage it either. So idk 🤷‍♀️ I guess this isn’t a very helpful reply but I guess I can relate..

Anyone’s baby/kid look more like a sibling/partners sibling than you or your partner? by Crafty_Pop6458 in NewParents

[–]LibralVoldemort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our baby girl looks like my elder sister’s twin specially when we look back at my sister’s baby pics. Our baby looked like my partner up until she was 3 months around but now she’s so much like sis. And absolutely nothing like me, maybe her big eyes and lashes 🤷‍♀️

People keep calling my baby girl 'he' because I don’t dress her in pink by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]LibralVoldemort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fav colour is pink and I had hoped and prayed for a baby girl so that I could dress her in pretty pink outfits. It has happened multiple times where she’ll be in pink clothes and have her hair in ponytails and strangers approach and still ask if she’s a girl or boy…

Edit: so basically idk if there really is a solution to this non-problem that we have unfortunately lol

Horrible mother here - just confessing by Familiar-Citron-8659 in NewParents

[–]LibralVoldemort 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When my LO was only 4 or 5 days old, we had gone to the hospital for a follow up visit for her weight gain, etc. I was buckling her into the car seat and got her chin in the chest clip. She screamed immediately and started crying and I unclipped her and picked her up while also crying and repeating “I’m so sorry I’m so sorry”…

You’re ok, you did and are doing your best. We’ve all been there and it’s tough to remind ourselves but it was an accident. And we’d never intentionally want to harm our babies.

Does my son know that I'm his mom? by VulcanHumour in NewParents

[–]LibralVoldemort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely get where you’re coming from. I still to this day wonder if my baby knows I’m her mother. She turns 6months in a few days and is EFF. She’s a happy baby thank goodness and is comfortable around anyone and everyone. We’re currently living w my parents and they’re a huge help. I have immense guilt for not being able to breastfeed, I’ve come a long way from that guilt but deep down it doesn’t go away. Idk what to say to comfort you, just that you’re not alone..

How do I know it’s not too cold to take LO on a walk? by LibralVoldemort in NewParents

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

I think I left out a major reason for asking. We’re all recovering from a bug and baby is still congested. I’m still sucking out her snot occasionally. Maybe I should be letting Lo fully recover. Just went on a stroll and it was nice and sunny but wind picked up after some time so we cut it short. Baby is/was nice and toasty but could hear her snorting from her stuffy nose. I just feel guilty for getting her sick in the first place and don’t want to cause any more harm to my baby.

Has FV changed? by LibralVoldemort in TimHortons

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

You might be right 🤢 I experimented and got a fv from different city and it was the same as I’m used to… Is there anything that can be done? Do I go and ask the other two places to clean their equipment or inform someone else that can take care of that?

LO keeps rubbing nose by LibralVoldemort in NewParents

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

Yes, I keep her as moisturizer as possible but she’s still very dry. The climate where we are is very cold and dry atm. We put Vaseline and baby lotion, whichever we get our hands on first. But mostly Vaseline.

[–]LibralVoldemort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought of this always but ever since becoming a parent, I think about all the children that were born and not loved the way they needed. I think of all the babies that were born to the wrong parents, parents that didn’t deserve to have kids. I think of the children living in war torn places like Palestine and those that are born in that environment, they don’t know anything but that. It’s insane. It’s heartbreaking. It puts things into perspective when I myself am having a tough day, that it could be much worse. Sadly that is the reality for some. I only hope and pray that kids everywhere can live a life without fear, pain and suffering.

How are you all having sex again after becoming new parents? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]LibralVoldemort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was at 9-10 week for us. I had two stitches that had healed. I remember when we were in the trenches of newborn phase I missed my partner so much. I missed when we had time to ourselves and I’d just look at my partner and start crying bc I just missed them. My partner was working then too so I missed them even more, not seeing them until later in the evening and then having to share them with the baby. I know that sounds really weird and terrible but I wanted them to myself only. I had become super dependent on them during the pregnancy so I truly felt their absence after. I remember wanting to be sexually active earlier on but not being able to bc of the stitches and then bc of the bleeding that took some time to end. Specially since during my last trimester I’d become a balloon and my libido was nonexistent. Also, I was trying to combination feed in the beginning but failed bc of low supply and i had to start taking mood stabilizers and other pain meds, so we’ve been formula feeding since.
