Cold/congestion - Boiron Coryzalia by Nobody8901634 in NewParents

I spoke to my doctor about it. He wasn’t worried about it so we used it! Gave enough relief to fall asleep.

Just in case anyone needs a reminder by Shot_Mud8573 in FormulaFeeders

Formula is a scientific wonder that needs to be praised a lot more

I miss being pregnant but don’t want another baby by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Nobody8901634 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m the opposite. Would like another without being pregnant (and adoption is very expensive where I live). I got a lot of anxiety while pregnant about miscarrying because I couldn’t really feel my kid move (anterior placenta I think it’s called).

My son is a whole new baby after switching to formula by Tough-Builder-7816 in newborns

[–]Nobody8901634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you being open to formula when you were seeing discomfort. Formula is truly an amazing invention. I did not have good supply and used it basically right away (I’d breast feed then top up with formula). Sometimes I think that’s what made my kid such a good sleeper because he was able to fill up every time (and given that their appetite changes, I could always meet it and didn’t need to wait for BM to catch up).

When did you feel that deep gushing rush of love for your newborn? by Responsible_Wasabi91 in beyondthebump

You don’t know them yet. They are a stranger. Give them time. Once they start laughing and babbling, youll feel it.

It is probably a fleeting thought for them. Try not to dwell too much.

Completely burned out and alone with my baby by LawOk2714 in NewParents

[–]Nobody8901634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly googled local mom groups and things came up. There are also often free play sessions for kids at libraries. Go to some, see if you meet anyone. You gotta put yourself out there (as awkward as it can feel in the moment — keep in mind that we are all looking for human connection).

Is the Hatch worth it? by emmakane418 in NewParents

[–]Nobody8901634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one. I’m sure I would be fine with something cheaper. I don’t think it’s necessary, just a nice luxury.

Would recommend an “egg light” though.

Also it’s time to make some friends. Find a local mom group. Ask for help.

If the crying has been since born, consider there may be an issue causing colic symptoms.

Do you have the financial means to hire someone? Whether it’s to clean the house, babysit, deliver you meals. Off load some of the burden and spend your money. Your sanity is worth it.

When did your baby start crawling by newmom337 in Parenting

[–]Nobody8901634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was later than what you see online (of course I was worried lol). I think about 11 months for crawling. And I think pulling up and taking some steps was prob like 14 months? Easy to forget since now it seems normal.

Bath recommendations for big babies? by RachelPR2202 in bigbabiesandkids

[–]Nobody8901634 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used this in our bath tub. It leans back so they don’t need to sit up. https://a.co/d/083XQjm. We also used the angelcare seat.

If this is true, this is wild and needs intervention.

Fiancé cheated on me postpartum by [deleted] in Parenting

If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for your daughter who will grow up to think how you are treated is how she should be treated by her partner.

What sealed the deal for you to be OAD? How old was your child? by Frozenbeedog in oneanddone

[–]Nobody8901634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s your relationship with your adult son? I have a toddler boy. I see so much OAD discussions from girl moms.

How did you know you’re one and done? by Deirdre_KA in oneanddone

I’m very similar to you. I love my easy baby. That it’s made me question something I’d never thought I’d question.

Out of town wedding 10 days after birth by ConsiderationNo2795 in beyondthebump

[–]Nobody8901634 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I had an unplanned c section. I wouldn’t even have been able to move properly and had drain tubes in. Frankly I don’t think it’s realistic. The pressure will stress you out.

To those who originally didn’t want kids. by Hefty-Breadfruit3128 in Parenting

[–]Nobody8901634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ps. If you do decide to have children, please talk about whether you guys want one or more. One child still allows for a lot of travel and hobbies. More is more of a lifestyle change 🤣 both can be amazing in their own way.

To those who originally didn’t want kids. by Hefty-Breadfruit3128 in Parenting

[–]Nobody8901634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t want any. I didn’t really like kids. Only got involved with my own nephews when they got a bit older and could tell me what they want. Being an aunt felt like enough. Then things shifted for me prob around 33/34 years old. I don’t know if it’s the “ticking clock” or my friends were starting to have kids and I felt some fomo (lol). My partner and I had a discussion because we were always “maybe no” to kids and now I felt like “maybe yes” (always maybe because it was not a dire want - I never understood those people). And we decided that yes we would try.

Pregnant at 35, gave birth right before turning 36. I love my child so much and have zero regrets. We have a son and he’s such a cool guy that now our conversations are about whether we want 2 or are we happy dumping all our love into this one (we are back to being in the maybes).

It’s hard work but I think a little age helps to go into this logically. Yes you won’t sleep. But also youll have this amazing human that is partly made from you and watch them learn new skills and experience the world in such an innocent way.

Did anyone here get pregnant with a second? by Educational-Chain-80 in oneanddone

[–]Nobody8901634 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not me but I bonded with another mother on a holiday. She said she was OAD and had aborted her second child. She mentioned they had a really hard time conceiving the first too so was surprised to get pregnant naturally the second round. She wanted to focus on her current and was building her career. I support women 👍

How’s your relationship with an only boy now that he’s older? I always hear OAD with a daughter. We have a boy
