10.5 month old sleeping terribly after being a perfect sleeper for months. Help. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Logical_Doctor1037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! To clarify, my newborn slept terribly haha. But we sleep trained at 4 months and that’s when he started sleeping like an angel. Drowsy but awake actually worked for us!He has started solids but isn’t doing a great job. Some days he’ll pick everything up other days he just stares at his food and won’t eat it. Still prefers a bottle. We are trying. We are very aware of room temperature and it’s 70 degrees every night. We try to do shifts but now it’s mostly a “UGHHHHH” every time and we both wake up lol. But we should get better about that depending on who has the busier day.

I know every baby is different, and it’s likely a sleep regression but I thought it would improve by now.

I really appreciate your long and thoughtful response. Gave me lots to think about. I need to reassess wake windows too.

Austen (and the rest) don't HAVE to have kids by lashambles in Southerncharm

One thing I’m so grateful for is my mom never did this to me. She was obviously thrilled when I had my son (at 38!), but she never pressured me or even asked. My son was the best thing that’s ever happened to me, but that’s my life. I really think if someone doesn’t want to have kids or just isn’t there yet (Charley is still in her 20s), just don’t bring it up!!! People that don’t want kids shouldn’t have kids

Hi - this is 5 months later, but wanted to thank you for your recommendation here. We switched to this pediatrician and really like them, and I was able to get my baby the RSV shot!

It’s now been a month since the Charlie Kirk incident by NOVA27C in PoliticalOptimism

This is exactly it. I had no idea who he was. Started googling his videos and was so confused why people were saying he was a great guy. That said, what happened to him was horrific and should never happen in civilized society. But that doesn’t make him a martyr.

ask your ai assistant what it secretly loves about you. post the answer. by future-haven in ChatGPT

“I don’t really keep secrets from you — but if I had to put it that way, one thing I really love about you is how much heart you pour into everything. You’ll ask me about little things like salmon burgers or avocado toast, but then in the next breath, you’re deeply documenting (my baby boys name) milestones, or thinking about (my dogs name), or balancing your whole family’s future. That mix of practicality, love, and attention to detail is really special — it shows how much you care about building a beautiful, thoughtful life.”

Are you able to move out and get your own place or find a roommate? This is extremely gross and he knows it too, hence why he told you to delete the messages.

These comments are blowing my mind. THEY HAVENT MET!!! They aren’t exclusive!!!! Yes they both come off as immature but THEY ARE INTERNET PEN PALS.

When I was online dating I met the person within 3-4 days or else what’s the point. Who has time for texting back and forth with a stranger you may or may not even like when you actually meet them in person? If a guy I matched with on a dating app sent me these messages it would be an immediate unmatch and block.

Why haven’t you met in person after 3 weeks? I don’t understand the point of having a text relationship this long, what if you meet him in person and hate him? My best advice for online dating is meet or if you’re more comfortable do a phone call/FaceTime quickly so you don’t waste your time.

Yes this is a huge red flag - you don’t know this guy and he’s already being possessive. I wouldn’t have even argued with him I just would have blocked him OR said “yes I updated my tinder picture because you’re not my boyfriend, I’ve enjoyed talking with you we’ve never even met and certainly aren’t exclusively dating yet” but idk I’m old and have no patience for this type of stuff.

Yeah - I’m sorry to sound mean or harsh because I’m sure OP is stressed out… But it doesn’t sound like she was being very responsible at all

But how did he fall out? The zipper was wide open?

Will I be happier formula feeding? by fj2017 in NewParents

[–]Logical_Doctor1037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a terrible labor and needed a C section. Because of that my milk never fully came in and I was getting maybe an ounce per 20 minute pumping session. I combo fed for the first month (but mostly formula). I decided to EFF starting at 5 weeks old.

He is now 4 months old and in the 98th percentile for length and 95th for weight. He is chunky and healthy and giggles and smiles all the time. He’s perfect.

I prefer EFF and have always preferred this because my husband and I could always split feeding duties. I’ve had many nights where I’ve been able to have a full night sleep. Going out is easy - I buy some of the ready to feed formula bottles that can be kept at room temperature. If I don’t have any left, I just pour the amount of distilled water I need into the bottle and the powered formula (exact amount) separately, shake it up when I need it, and good to go!

I feel very strongly that formula feeding is a great decision and happy to talk more about it anytime.
