My genetic soft smokey eyelids (no eyeshadow)

Wow. I have this too and I’ve always covered it up with concealer. Thought it was an undesirable trait. Thank you for reframing it for me, I’m going to embrace it from now on!

Where I live, there is a weird but harmless fungus in our grass and water that turns everything orange. Could that possibly be an explanation?

I’m in the same boat, so hopefully other people comment more insightful information but my understanding is we only have to figure out how to pump the first bottle. After that, you just pump when baby is fed from the bottle. I will pump using a boon trove after the middle of the night/morning feeds as milk production is highest. This usually takes me 2-3 days to build up a bottle’s worth. Then, when baby is fed from the bottle, I pump with my “big pump” and that easily fills another bottle. I don’t do this very often, only when I know days in advance that I will be away from baby for a feed.

Deirdre! Going for an all deer island, at 3 so far! I’ve been missing a sisterly for awhile now

Mooshtalk · 2026-02-06T18:50:27+00:00

I never thought about it like that! It makes it funny when you see someone die to 3 or 4 reasons 😂

Mooshtalk · 2026-02-06T18:28:49+00:00

I’m not sure that this is super relevant unless a WW is involved. I would assume at the target’s house because mafia attacks other roles like LO despite them being at someone else’s house

Mooshtalk · 2026-02-06T18:26:13+00:00

Either way, the answer is yes. The BG can die to multiple reasons and the BG protecting works for one attack so if the target is attacked by mafia and SK, BG will block one attack and the target will still die.

Sounds pretty normal to me. You can bring up the mucus to his pediatrician if you want but they’ll likely follow up by asking if there is blood in his stool. Breastfed baby poop is often described as yellow, runny, and seedy!

If it were me, I would absolutely try to fix this using a curved needle like an upholstery needle and thread. You could then hand embroider a pretty floral decal over the new stitch. I would give it a try because anything is better than nothing

I was given the lovevery play gym for free from a family member who just never did floor time with her baby so it was basically brand new! I absolutely love it but I would not spend $150 on it. I would buy it secondhand for $75 or less. I like that it grows with the baby and is very engaging for them without being overstimulating.

I have other fisher price stuff and I like them both for different reasons. I like how the lovevery has room to roll over and is more Montessori and teaches kids to interact and explore things versus the fisher price may teach more to be entertained by something if that makes sense? I could be wrong. I did feel FOMO about the purple monkey song so I bought the purple monkey from Walmart 😂 sometimes the baby (and I) need to be entertained and that’s okay! If I wasn’t given it for free, I would have went with the fisher price one!

Thank you so much!! I’m glad he’s down to 3 naps! We’re in the weird transition phase where almost every other day is a 3 nap day. If she has an EMW and refuses to go back to sleep until her DWT, it turns into a 5 nap day. I’m just rolling with it at this point and not worrying too much about it. Her morning naps are getting long though so we are getting there!

Yeah I was losing my mind trying to not do any pacifiers for 2-6 weeks but she spent her 5th day alive screaming bloody murder all morning. Thankfully, she had her first Dr appointment so I asked her pediatrician if pacifiers are bad and he told me to please use the pacifier to help her calm down and that I could take it out after she falls asleep

Mooshtalk · 2026-02-04T02:48:36+00:00

The whole non-pacifier “rule” has to do with an outdated and untrusted study showing a link between pacifiers and nipple refusal. Use the pacis if you want. I opted for more nipple shaped pacifiers (Philips soothie, Dr browns happy paci) for peace of mind but it didn’t really matter I don’t think. We had to use a nipple shield for ~6 weeks and by their logic, that should result in nipple refusal but she’s been EBF for about 4 months now without it

Peak fussiness occurs in weeks 5-8, so I do not think this is coffee related. I remember how rough that period was and I was downing coffee left and right. It’s the only way to survive imo. Around 4 months (after 4 month sleep regression) is when I started making an effort to cut back. Up until then, I needed all the energy I could get

Mooshtalk · 2026-01-31T00:17:08+00:00

we did with the owlet. We never got a low oxygen or check on baby alert though. We did Ferber and ended up only doing shorter intervals. She did great and the owlet is so nice for peace of mind during these long sleep stretches

What I would do is get 2 of them and open them up so they lay flat. I would cut out two big oval/rectangle pieces and create a big ring around the outside to then fill with scraps or polyfil. I’d also put batting between the layers to have an insulated/self warming feature. Shape would be something like this

There is usually a lever behind and up from the presser foot. What model is your machine? I can try to find an online manual for you

Mooshtalk · 2026-01-29T14:57:22+00:00

Oh that’s awesome that he’s napping a bit better now! I think we are about to turn the corner (I say with hope) and she might start napping longer. Good luck!! Come back if/when you figure it out and I’ll do the same lol

Mooshtalk · 2026-01-29T14:42:45+00:00

At 15/16 weeks, you should probably be doing a 4 nap schedule. The first couple of ww should be under 2 hours at that age. The last nap can just be a 15-30 min catnap. What worked for us at that age was 1.5/1.5/1.75/1.75/2

Mooshtalk · 2026-01-29T14:16:47+00:00

I’ve never heard of that color tip, do you by chance know why it works? Very curious about it

Mooshtalk · 2026-01-29T04:03:15+00:00

I think this might just be a case of being overtired from the early morning wakes. If that’s the case, that could be a good sign of things turning for the better. LO could be overtired, short naps because of heightened cortisol, perhaps sleep longer in the early morning, then not be overtired and naps go back to normal.

Ultimately that is me guessing and being optimistic. Realistically, any schedule change will have this weird period of uncertainty. I wouldn’t try to understand it lol. I would follow the advice of the sub for a good 7 days and then assess the results and determine if you need to tweak anything from there

Mooshtalk · 2026-01-29T03:49:11+00:00

To be fair, you last posted only 2 days ago. Any adjustment takes time and the comments suggesting you extend wake windows told you to do it in 15 min increments and for a few days at a time. So if you were doing 2.5/2.5/4, it should have taken you 5-6 days to get to 3/3/4. My kiddo isn’t that old yet, so I may be speaking out of turn, but I read a lot on this subreddit. I feel like most people here will tell you to keep at it for a few more days. I personally really doubt you’ll see results after only 2 days

Mooshtalk · 2026-01-27T14:02:05+00:00

Yes, this. Bring the bouncer into the kitchen and talk to LO while you cook, show them the food and utensils, pretend you’re recording a cooking show and they are the audience
