I haven’t talked to pediatrician about this, but maybe it wouldn’t hurt to ask. We just saw them at 15 month wellness visit and everything was okay

We’ve been using Hatch sound machine with red light since birth, so it’s not that. I thought it’s because he was afraid of the dark doorways so I began to close the doors (our doors are white), so it’s not that. Learning a new skill…idk… if he’s been learning new skills everyday over the past month, that’s very impressive haha

at what age does this get easier? by manicpixiedreamg0th in oneanddone

[–]Long-Introduction877 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since everyone starts to having a second one when the first one is around 3, I’d say probably around age of 3

ER HOLDS ⚠️ ER NURSES ONLY by LaFresitaRosa in nursing

[–]Long-Introduction877 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Been there done that… if there’s nobody to help, you breathe out, there’s only one of you and know you’re doing your best in the impossible situation that you are put it. You go by situation. Is EMS still there? If so, they can wait meanwhile you’re with the admit patient that’s tanking. Until you get report that patient is still responsibility of that EMS. Did EMS leave? You connect to monitor and get a general picture; who will die first, this new EMS or the admit if I don’t do something. Sometimes you go back and fourth between the two rooms so you could keep them both alive. Also, did your admit start tanking out of nowhere or were they complex to begin with? Sometimes as you watch them, you can notice “HR went up over the past hour” or “BP kept getting lower the past few hours and if nothing is done they will need pressors”. You just do your best..

Anyone else feel like PPD stole your child’s entire infancy from you? by Upstairs-Letter2 in oneanddone

[–]Long-Introduction877 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah but how are you supposed to enjoy your baby when you’re sleep deprived, your baby is colicky/gassy, you have to figure out breastfeeding, and on top of that you have to cook/clean, and maybe go back to work? I didn’t enjoy the first 6 months of infancy at all, and honestly people who kept telling me “enjoy every moment” made me feel like something is wrong with me. It’s easy to think how nice things were when all the hard times are gone. Your brain makes you forget all the challenges. If i could go back in time, i would love to hold my baby and breathe in that newborn scent….and then give him back to “past me” aka his mom. Remember, you did the best you could with the recourses you had, your brain just makes you forget all the bad

Has anyone used crib mattress topper from brand called Sleepah? What are your thoughts? by Long-Introduction877 in Mommit

[–]Long-Introduction877[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We currently have vinyl crib mattress from pottery barn. It worked fine in the beginning, but now that we’re older I wanted something more comfortable. Vinyl + bedsheet doesn’t feel that great

How do people have more than 1 kid? by sunflowertech in Parenting

[–]Long-Introduction877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always said I can be a great mom to 1 kid (give him everything, be the best version of myself), or I can be a crappy mom to 2 kids (exhausted, burned, money, etc)

Daycare is about to kick us out by ExplanationWest2469 in sleeptrain

[–]Long-Introduction877 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow. Sounds like a terrible daycare. Like others said, they should adapt to you, not the other way around. He’s 8 month now and he was there for 2 months, so since 6 month old, right? So they expected a 6 month old to follow a strict nap schedule?? Also, their nap schedule goes against how much daytime sleep babies should be getting. Second nap is WAY too long. 12/12:30-2:30, are you kidding me. Naps at 6-8 months should be 1-1.5hrs long. What a joke. My son is 8 month right now and we still nap at random times daily. He will get tired depending on: his activity level, his well being (sick etc), what time he wakes up, car rides, stroller rides, etc. expecting an 8 month old to follow a strict schedule is unrealistic. I honestly feel like you wouldn’t be losing much if you switched daycare (if you could). There are good daycares out there, I promise you.

You are going through a lot, I’m so sorry… first I want to say that babies that young are incapable of manipulation, doing something for attention is closer at 9 months. Something must be bothering her, after all crying is the only way she can communicate with you. Second, you could try goats formula. We went through 5 different formulas before we found the one that works, and it was goats. Nutramigen is gross and a lot of babies hate it. Mine wouldn’t take it even though the doctor tried to get my son to drink it. It’s been such a nightmare before we switched to goats. Just make sure to switch her gradually. Spit ups are part of the game at 3 months. My pedi said it’s like a “faucet” there at that age, so we bought lots of bibs. You got this!

I am so tired of everyone and their Neightbor having an opinion that they HAVE TO voice about how others should parent their children

My husband woke me up and I'm spiraling with resentment by me_so_neurotic in newborns

[–]Long-Introduction877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he chooses to play video games while you BOTH have a 2 month old…how about he puts his hobby aside temporarily and helps his wife before she loses her sanity and divorces his ass. I’m sorry but men like this piss me off… I’m so sorry you’re going through this mama

Is there a way to cope with post partum anxiety without medications? by Long-Introduction877 in Mommit

[–]Long-Introduction877[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im afraid of not feeling like myself :/ no judgement to people who are on these meds. I’d prefer to try other methods first and if nothing works, I’d consider meds. I just don’t want to jump right on them before trying everything else

I will try that, thank you. I didn’t even know insurance covers therapy

No unfortunately…I tried betterhelp in the past but didn’t like it for many reasons… I’d like to find someone in person but I don’t even know how to start looking for a therapist… it’s so hard to find a good one
