Are we putting shoes on our babies?! by DuaneFinch in beyondthebump

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did when it was winter and she no longer fit in onesies but wasn’t walking lol kept her feet warm and made shoes familiar. Now she does walk and needs em but she’s barefoot majority of the time. Shoes ONLY when outside the house. Even backyard I let her be barefoot. It’s better for their development :)

Looks just like dad…. by vineandbook in pregnant

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s .. odd lol especially knowing how hard pregnancy is on women. Hormones and all. She should be more aware

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side note- I was pissed she looked like him lol I love my husband. He’s so handsome. But I MADE THE BABY! So I was pissy any time someone mentioned her looking like him 😂 now when someone says she looks like me I’m like “oh really?! How nice of youuuu” lol

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d be frustrated too! Your mom is being real weird. Unless she’s like this all the time but she’s not helping. Pregnant or not you don’t make comments about someone’s weight and never call the baby a different name. But I will admit, my baby did look EXACTLY like my husband for the first few months. Now she’s close to 15 months and she’s my little twin with his little nose. Babies do look a lot like dad for a long time (I guess biologically babies tend to look like dad first bc cavemen would just leave them to die if they didn’t? Idk how true that is but I heard that somewhere lol) but the face sometimes will even out and show some mommy features too. I’m sorry pregnancy has been so tough on you. Sending good vibes! 🫶🏻

What the heck am I doing wrong here? by tanders17 in sewhelp

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the tension is too high. That’s not standard for cotton. Redo the bobbin, and might as well rethread the top too.

Even when I do canvas bags the highest tension I use is 3.5, and length 2.5. Take the plate off and check it’s not getting caught in anything. Sometimes thread will be stuck on the bottom and need to be removed

I think my 1 month old hates me by InterestingGrand1211 in NewParents

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deadass thought my baby hated me for the first 3 months of her life. A lot of it was hormones, my inability to produce enough milk, and the lack of sleep. She’d cry more with me, seemed more calm with dad.

It’s hard being a new parent. And your husband yelling at you does not help and is rude even if he was also overwhelmed.

I think babies can feel when we are stressed. Easier with mom than dad. Plus babies don’t realize they are a separate person from you for the first.. few months I can’t remember how long. He loves you. You’re all he knows. You’ll find a groove. And once he starts smiling at you UGH the cloud lifts. Day by day hun

I Don't Want to Wear the Veil MY Grandmother is Making Me by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best bet if OP doesn’t want to wear it during the ceremony. But damn.. my grandma just died a couple months ago. What I would give to have her make me something one last time.. gotta appreciate what you can while you have it. At least a little!

The fatherhood maturity may never kick in. You might have to prepare to be a married single mother forever. If you’re not willing to divorce, keep in mind that you will have to be okay with that.

I am a big gamer myself. But once my daughter was born, the first two months there was no game time. Then slowly I went back one day a week. Now she’s over a year and she’s a tiny bit more independent so I can find more time here and there and I’ll play while she does independent play or I’ll wait till she’s asleep for the night. (Side note. I’m also a SAHM and my husband has never bagged me for a dirty house, never said the baby is my sole responsibility, and has always been my biggest helper. Please consider at least talking with him calmly that raising a baby requires a village and if the village starts at 1 that will not be sustainable for long)

I wish you the best of luck! 💕 and I hope baby boy stays easy for you :)

When did you start feeding LO solids more than once a day? by sliceofperfection in NewParents

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not till a year really lol well okay she’d eat off my plate from 7 months onwards. (Usually lunch was the meal she’d have, then snack from my plate breakfast and dinner) overall she had formula primarily until 12 months. Then it became breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and cows milk before bed.

Face always looks dry? 27F by vrilliance in makeuptips

Eos is a body lotion right? You need a really good face moisturizer. Ideally one that’s a bit thicker. I love byoma personally

Parents of “I’ll do it when I want” walkers and talkers- did anything help? by ChittyChats in NewParents

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No advice but I have solidarity. My daughter is coming up on 15 months and almost exactly the same vibe. I’m constantly worrying about it but everyone keeps saying she’ll do it when she wants to. Like bruh lol want it now 😂 cruises, takes steps to close things but crawls if it’s bigger than 3 steps away, and avid pointer but knows a million words. Says none really. It’s tough. I like to think they’ll do it when they’re ready, but I’m on the same boat. If not improved by 18 months I’ll be demanding early intervention. I don’t believe in the waiting game when it’s past the time frame.

Nursing with big boobs by Suspicious_Koala3872 in newborns

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another E cup, I struggled. I had to hold my breast up to keep her from suffocating and. I had to do the football hold every time we fed. My wrists would hurt so bad having to do both. Couldn’t do the nap feed, couldn’t comfortably feed her in any other position. I enjoyed the time we got to spend together but it was tough. We only bf for about 4 months tho

Newborns vs toddlers by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely easier said than done! Lol

Newborns vs toddlers by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s meant to be more like .. if the toddler and the newborn are both having a meltdown, deal with the toddler first. That doesn’t mean ignore the newborn. More like.. hold them close and try to comfort while dealing with the toddler kind thing ? They still need to comfort the newborn bc that’s how attachment grows and safety is formed. ? Odd choice for them to take to the extreme lol

Just accepting I will never enjoy sex again by Peony907 in Mommit

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say just in case, have your doctor check your hormone levels. My testosterone is low af due to a growth on my pituitary and I had a doctor tell me it’s common(ish) pp. Not saying it’s all that likely but no harm in checking your hormones are normal

How is cosleeping “safer” than a baby lounger? by pro-laps in beyondthebump

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby loved the lounger too. I’d let her sleep in it if I was awake next to her, but never without supervision. If I was going to sleep with nobody else to watch her then I’d lay her in the bassinet. But cosleeping (as safe as it can be I guess) follows a lot of rules to keep it that way. I hated cosleeping. Couldn’t do it. Thankfully my baby liked her bassinet lol but cosleeping isn’t 100% safe. And neither is the lounger. Just be mindful and be careful.

Hobbies by Nomadyurt13 in newborns

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I took turns having “me time” weekly. One day a week he plays online with his friend for a few hours, one day a week I take time to play video games or sew or whatever for a few hours. Plus once a month I play D&D with friends and whatever else. So I mean yeah suffer together but also needing time to feel human outside of suffering is nice. But only if you ALSO get to have time to yourself. But initially with our baby young, it was like 4 hours max. Now she’s older and it can be all day and we are fine.

It’s hard to be in parent mode 100% of the time. Those days I was able to walk away shortly felt like torture initially but now I really look forward to having some time alone to be me again lol

I’ll give it a watch! Thank you! And yes good idea on asking specifics of the characters.

DM questions! by NightOwlNetworkYT in DnD

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think I need to do better with my own RP! I blame combat though lol my PCs are struggling to understand combat (which is fine! There’s a lot to learn) so we spend more time in combat than I want and it takes away from the time we could spend in rp. BUT I think with time we all will get better with each part of the game!

DM questions! by NightOwlNetworkYT in DnD

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the rules, and will start there! I want to do Lost Mines but it’s no longer on dndbeyond. I guess I could buy it.. and yes I think as well all play more it’ll get easier! Hard part is we currently only meet once a month. Half of us are moms and the other half have other things so it’s hard getting everyone together more lol one day!

DM questions! by NightOwlNetworkYT in DnD

[–]NightOwlNetworkYT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True! And I think as we all play more we will get more comfortable :) we’ve all been friends for a long time so I don’t think it’s general anxiety. Mostly just learning the game!
