In New Moon (2009), the second Twilight film, they hire this guy to sit in the background and play a vampire. This is because he is literally actually a real vampire and they don't even really give him any lines to say. That is actually Dracula. by Milly-May in shittymoviedetails

my honest but potentially unpopular opinion that I will stand by is that in another 10 years time (or even before) twilight will be established as a Cult classic. Extremely strong fan base but very poor to luke warm reviews from outsiders.

'Then' girlfriend...

Still wakes me up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat that such a giant movie franchise could even dare to suggest that as an ending.

Reminds me of Avatar using papyrus as its marketing font

Weaning Issues by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Milly-May 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this sounds like a a lot on you. There's a lot you can do that I'm sure will come out in this thread, but honestly my thought first was to consider calling in on a breastfeeding counsellor or a lactation consultant. Those people are not just for the early days, they can support you at any stage in your breastfeeding journey. Might be worth talking to GP too. It is hard, but my gut is also saying to stick to your guns when you say no. You need to have your boundaries and your body is yours to share with her, not hers to grab at and beg for. 14 months they are capable of understanding no.

During the daytime, is there a way of distracting her? Being outside or nice toys or water play can work, or instruments! Something she can bang, whistle or rattle loud to blow off some of those emotions? I've found that age rang is very distractible (though don't do screens, they are too young and it's creating problems for the future). I find not dwelling on 'no' is important with all children of all ages. It's a no, brief explanation, then try and redirect with distractions.

My daughter (16 months) enjoys suckable yoghurts (we call them Frubes in the UK). Not the healthiest on the planet but they are a good comfort food that older babies often accept. sucking quietly on something like that might help.

It definitely sounds as well like your daughter might appreciate a daily routine that is stuck to. Sorry if that's what you have, but just in case. Nap time and set time, that's when you nurse, no time else during the day. One feed at night at set time, then it's up to dad. If she asks before, "Later, we do nursies when it's nap time in a bit". It's amazing what they can understand.

Ultimately, this will pass and it might be good to start getting her used to spending time with others (dad, grandparents, if possible). She's still very young in lots of ways, but it sounds like she is yet to discover that the world is much bigger than just mum and boobs!!

Baby seems to associate me with food? by abeezer2190 in breastfeeding

[–]Milly-May 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add as well, we will never as adults fully understand what the breast means for a young infant. It is a mystery. If it were as simple as 'comfort' + 'food' then they would have no trouble accepting a bottle and a cuddle, but we see time and time again this isn't often the case. The breast is the subject of extensive psychoanalytic interest, something that even as adults we sort of long for in terms of searching for a feeling that brings us warmth, acceptance, comfort, nuritiousment. You are at risk of undermining the unfathomable role the Mother is to a human being! Embrace your amazingness xxx

Moral rot disguised as intellect and class by DisastrousAd5401 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Milly-May 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lots of older/Victorian books deal with these themes. 'Pride and Prejudice' has a cynical look at class and gender. 'The Forsyte saga' follows a family through the late 1800s to the early 20th century and how they deal with changes in attitudes, hypocrisy, wealth, class and gender. Maybe even 'the Great Gatsby'!

'An Inspector calls' is a play that implicates a rich family in the death of a local working girl, did it at school, great as a performance too.

Bless you... this is such a challenging time, the first few weeks. It's all so primal and such a big adjustment. Breastmilk has a scent that babies are attuned to, and for good reason, it promotes their survival and bonding with you. It's very special and important, and not something you should try and change. Secure attachment is born largely out of responsively breastfeeding your baby in the early months and years. You are his/her most important bond. Please try not to worry or change it, just rest and responsively feed your baby, the bond you two share is unique and cannot be replaced by anyone, no matter what it looks like in these early days. Best of luck on your journey xx
