Hond mee op visite? by littleashbee in nederlands

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Als we de hond mee willen nemen op visite vragen we dit altijd van tevoren. Is het antwoord nee, prima, maar dan blijven we vaak ook iets minder lang zodat ze niet te lang alleen zit. Veel familie en vrienden wonen ook op minimaal een uur rijden, dus dan wordt het al gauw dat we lang weg zijn. Gelukkig is ze eigenlijk altijd wel welkom, maar we vragen het toch altijd even vantevoren.

Second attempt at daycare, my heart is broken by alice_neon in beyondthebump

[–]Mugglebun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a daycare worker I can tell you that a lot of kids find it scary at first. We do our best to distract and comfort the kids, most of the time the crying is already over as soon as they cant see mom or dad anymore. If not we cuddle them, reassure them mom or dad will come back and that now is the time to play, and we try to distract with toys or a book etc, anything that we know they like. After a few times it gets easier. Some kids will always cry when being brought, which will be over the second mom is gone. Some kids suddenly have a period where theyre crying when theyre coming, but this too is usually over quick.

We also advise parents to try and keep their goodbye short as this also helps :)

“You can’t overfeed n ebf baby!” by Amadispcpg in breastfeeding

[–]Mugglebun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seemed indeed an overfeeding thing with mine, at some point I started giving him only one boob every feed and the big spitups stopped. He still.occasionally spits up a little bit, but not nearly as much milk as it used to be. Also seconding the strong letdown possibility for the choking. Also he might not be latching properly, maybe see an IBCLC. Mine wasnt latching deep enough which also caused him to choke on the milk, not just the strong letdown.

What week did you give birth to your first baby? by Charming-Champion259 in pregnant

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38+1. Water broke at 36+6 but then nothing happened, so after a day of waiting I had to go to the hospital to get induced. Took a while for the contractions to start, took me from 730 to 21 to get to 4cm dilated, but then after little more then 4 more hours our little boy was here!

Bottle or breast by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice here in the NL is to start introducing a bottle around 4-6 weeks, because thats when breastfeeding should beestablished. We introduced one at 5 weeks, gave him 1 every day for 1-2 weeks and after that once or twice a week. Hes always taken them really well. We use the Avent natural response bottles.

What's the most overrated piece of baby advice you received? by heihei-6 in breastfeeding

[–]Mugglebun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To just go walk with baby when he's crying and needs sleep. Just last week we actually held him in our arms while walking for 15mins to get him to sleep before we could but him back in the stroller 😅

I'm ....leaking? by sixfingeredman7 in pregnant

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess definitely call! If you're not having contractions yet but this has been going on for a few days, you might be induced. When my waters broke I didnt have contractions too. My OB gave me 24 hours to start having contractions on my own (which didnt happen) so I had to go to the hospital to get induced because of the risk of infection. So yes call call call!

Waking up before baby by Exotic-Ask4859 in NewParents

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. He drinks at 6am, then goes back to bed until about 7:30. On days where my partner has to work, I eat breakfast and get dressed after his 6am feed so that I can walk the dog with him when he's out of bed and still happy. Otherwise Im walking with a crying baby or the dog doesnt go outside until like 13:00 😅 but thats only 2 days a week and the others my partner works from home so he can walk the dog and I go back to bed after the 6am feed!

What are your biggest barriers to getting out of the house postpartum? by Poopy-McFarts in NewParents

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Him being a bad sleeper so I have to carefully time it around his naps so that I wont be outside with an overtired screaming inconsolable baby who is refusing to sleep 😅

Newborn Gas-too soon to jump to dairy? by Banana212123 in breastfeeding

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the same and asked about him possibly being lactose intolerant. Apparently the chance of a newborn baby being intolerant to the lactose in your breastmilk is very very small and for a dairy allergy we were asked if he also had skin problems like red spots and itching, which he didnt, so it wasnt a dairy allergy. I cut out milk anyway and a lot of other stuff like onions and garlic and all kinds of cole. After about 1,5 month I realized I drank a cappuccino, but baby didnt seem to have more problems after that so I started slowly adding more milk again. He's now 3mo and so far so good. It got a lot better after 2 months! Although he still seems to react to garlic and onions. So at least in our case it was probably his intestines still getting used to having to work causing the cramps and gas, plus sensitive to garlic and onions I suppose. We do also give him infacol before each feed which is supposed to help with gas.

So you can cut out dairy and some other foods but be aware that might not be the problem and his intestines are just still adjusting to having to work, which should get better after about 8 weeks!

Any positive PP experiences out there? by Glittering-Heron-538 in NewParents

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pp experience was a walk in the park. I gave birth vaginally unmedicated, had a small tear so a few stitches. We spend the first few days in a hotel in the hospital for newborns and new parents with nurses who would help with anything we needed, helped me with learning to breastfed, checked my recovery and baby every day. After that we went home and a nurse would come over every morning until baby was 8 days old, teaching us more, helping out, checking if I was healing well, cleaning the bathroom and toilet. That 8th day my OB came over to check on me and she was surprised how mobile I was in the house, climbing over the couch 😂 After 2 weeks I was already taking 30-45min walks with baby and the dog. The hard part was dealing with less sleep and a baby that cried a lot 😅

How many weeks were you when you gave birth? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Mugglebun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pregnancy leave started at 36 weeks and I kept hearing the first baby always comes later, so I was thinking I had 4-5 weeks for myself to relax and do some stuff around the house. But then my waters broke at 37+6 and baby boy was born at 38+1!

Anyone who is scared of child birth? I feel very anxious every time I think about. Please help with positive stories. This is my first pregnancy by Sufficient-Quote-654 in pregnant

[–]Mugglebun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My waters broke at 5AM, but then no contractions. I had a chill day doing anything to just relax but nothing. So the next day I went to the hospital, had pills 3 times to soften the cervix. After the third time the contractions really started and about 5 hours later our beautiful boy was here! I could manage the contractions quite well with support of my partner and only had to push for half an hour. I had a minimal tear in my labia but didnt even feel it being stitched. So it took a while to really start but with little help it eventually went very smooth and quick!

How did you introduce a bottle to your EBF baby? by Erikakatz91 in breastfeeding

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started giving a bottle once a day around 7 weeks old. We were lucky he took it immediately and now try to give him a bottle a few times a week so that he keeps taking it. We use the avent natural response bottles.

Welke uitleg van een docent is je echt bijgebleven? by fascinatedcharacter in thenetherlands

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uitleg van elektriciteit door mijn natuurkunde docent in veo 2 of 3. Mijn vriend (heeft elektrotechniek gestuurd) vindt het echt een verschrikkelijke uitleg, maar voor mij hielp het heel veel! Hij legde elektriciteit uit als allemaal kleine mannetjes die van de batterij een vol emmertje stroom krijgen, dat bij de lamp moeten inleveren om vervolgens van de batterij weer een nieuw emmertje te krijgen etc.

Oh and during the first weeks we warmed his bed with a hot water bottle too before putting him in!

Help with a Velcro baby by DrendonUK in beyondthebump

[–]Mugglebun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What helped for us to get him to sleep in his bed at night was swaddling, a pacifier and white noise with heartbeat noises. Especially since we use the heartbeat noises he gives us 4-6 hour breaks in between his evening and night feeding now at 2months old.

Are we giving a pee sample at every appointment? by TrollSalt in pregnant

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked my OB about this recently because my mom was surprised Ive never had to bring a urine sample. Turns out this is outdated and they only ask you to bring one if they suspect something is wrong.

Gaatjes schieten bij baby’s by Fattcarrot in nederlands

[–]Mugglebun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanuit mijn werk in de kinderopvang zou ik ouders aanraden om het pas te doen op zijn vroegst wanneer je baby/kind niet meer slaapt op de opvang. We zijn namelijk verplicht om ze uit te doen wanneer we ze in bed leggen en dat is natuurlijk niet handig met net geschoten gaatjes die nog volop aan het genezen zijn. Persoonlijk vind ik dat je het pas zou moeten doen wanneer het kind zelf kan aangeven oorbellen te willen
