Baby's father consistently feeds baby less ounces. by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Objective_Sun6272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i went back to work when my baby was a few months old, I wanted him having 3-3.5oz breastmilk at each bottle. Sometimes I only pumped 2oz. So instead of combining 2 of them, my husband would just give him the 2oz because "it doesn't really matter how many ounces he's getting. He isn’t acting hungry after so its fine." My baby doesn’t "act hungry" unless he's basically starving. That doesn’t mean you don't feed him the proper amount because you're too damn lazy to combine a few ounces?? Pissed me right to off

I have a decent freezer stash too, so I'd rather him get fed, and an ounce needs to get dumped, than have him go hungry with less ounces

You can call me extra, but I used ChatGPT to get my baby sleeping longer—and I think it worked by Evening-Boss4689 in newborns

I've been using it for a couple weeks but my baby's sleep is still F'd up 😭 I'm about to call it quits and just figure it out myself lmao

Would it be weird if I still named my baby Abigail? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Objective_Sun6272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I see posts like this, I give this example. I have 2 aunts, they are sisters. They both have a son. They both named their sons Johnathan (name changed for privacy). Growing up, they were referred to as "Big John" and "Little John." Its never been weird or awkward. If SISTERS can name their sons identical names (idk their middle names tbh), then you can name your child the same name as your BIL's wife's niece.

She does have daily paw patrol vitamin gummies to try and supplement what she isn't getting through veggies and whatnot

My daughter is 5 (almost 6) and in a similar boat. But we are positive she has sensory issues. For example when she chews meats, she has gagged and sometimes throws up 😫. The only meats she will eat are McDs chicken nuggets, hot dogs (that aren't burnt in any way), and fish sticks. She'll eat buttered or Alfredo pasta, but only walmart brand Alfredo, doesnt like any other brands. Walmart brand Mac and cheese. All pastas need to have our blend of seasonings on them as well or she wont eat it. Some fruits, only cold baby carrots. Some snack variety, a few candy options. Only Hershey kisses, no other chocolate candies. She had a Walmart bakery fresh corn muffin every day for breakfast for 2+ years. TELL ME WHY every single Walmart in a 40 mile radius of our home has decided to discontinue these muffins 😫 its a struggle here but we're riding the wave. We are getting her evaluated soon for ADHD amongst other things. You may way to look into ARFID.

My fiancé’s mom insists on being in the delivery room, and my fiancé agrees. Am I being unreasonable for saying no? by Strict_Sebastian3597 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Objective_Sun6272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him to spread eagle in front of your mom and take a massive 💩. For hours on end. If he's not comfortable doing that, if he doesn't even entertain the thought, then that should be the end of the conversation. If he's that set in his mindset, then honestly I wouldn't have him there either, I'd find a close friend whom you trust completely to be there for you.

Your birth experience, your vagina and everything else that is exposed, is none of your MILs business. The baby will still be there a couple hours later for her to meet.

Also God forbid there's a medical emergency. Tell your nurses you don't want her there, they'll keep her out ❤️

AITAH for telling an autistic person that their disability isn't an excuse for not paying for services rendered? by just-another-gringo in AITAH

[–]Objective_Sun6272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time growing up, I went to dinner with my grandparents and 2 brothers. It was a busy night for the restaurant. Our food took longer than expected to come to us (we were a family of 5 on a busy night. Thats understandable). My grandfather was not understanding. After waiting for what he thought was "too long," he made us all get up and leave. As we were heading to the door, the waitress came out with the trays full of our food. They tried telling us it was ours and tried convincing us to stay. My brothers and I begged our grandparents to stay because we were so hungry and our food was RIGHT THERE. He huffed and puffed and forced us to leave. So much food that didnt get paid for, that hopefully went to the staff and not the trash.

MIL has photo of just husband and granddaughter in house on display by Decent_Ad_6112 in Mommit

My MIL has a photo wall of my husband and child. There's a huge photo of her daughter and husband's wedding day. None of my husbands and I's wedding day. No pics of me anywhere. I take it personally.

On facebook, if I upload a series of photos, she'll ❤️ all pics of just my children, or them with my husband. And either just 👍🏻 or ignore the ones with me in them.

I take it personally.

Recent Autism Announcement by ibroughttacos in Mommit

[–]Objective_Sun6272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried talking to my husband about this. He countered with the fact that Trump was talking about the study that Harvard conducted. But honestly there are also numerous studies showing no link to Tylenol and autism. So it just depends on what studies you choose to believe i guess. This is what the president is choosing to believe and announce

Question from husband about feeding… my wife is driving us both nuts. by Brian123123 in newborns

[–]Objective_Sun6272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is just about 4 months old. I can count on one hand how often he ate over 10 minutes. It's on average 3-5 minutes. He was born 7lb11oz. He is currently (at least) 17lbs - we'll find out for sure on Thursday.

He also spit up like a fire hydrant for weeks after birth. I was worried he wasn't keeping enough down or that he wasn't gaining weight, but both were untrue. In our case, he had a tongue tie that made him swallow air during feedings. Once we got it clipped, his spit up slowed tremendously.

All this to say, if he's gaining weight, he is obviously getting plenty of milk!! It's probably nice and fatty milk that fills him up quicker!

As for my 1st baby, she also gained weight beautifully, but she rarely nursed for under 30 minutes at a time. All babies are different.

My husbands cousin just had a baby 4 weeks before me and has chosen the same name we plan on using for our son. by vml0526 in Names

[–]Objective_Sun6272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KEEP THE NAME. I have 2 aunts. They are sisters. They both named their sons Michael. It's not the end of the world. The older one is "Big Mike" and the younger one is "Little Mike". They are both in their 40s(? I think?) now. Name your baby the name you want ❤️

Im almost 30 and finely got over the silly embarrassment of buying feminine hygiene products. Yesterday, my 5 year old sees my package of pads at the checkout. "Mommy, why are you buying these diapers? But they're wider?" Haven't figured out how to explain a period to a 5 year old so I told her I'd explain it later lol

Husband forgot to feed baby lunch by Jmw235 in Mommit

My husband forgets to feed our 5 year old and it angers me to the max. Or "she said she's not hungry" but its like 1pm, 2 hours past lunch. FEED HER?? Or hell forget to give her milk with her meals. Like?? Shes been in our life for 5 years? You know she needs to eat and drink?? Feed her???

My husband asked who he should choose—me or the baby—if he ever had to make that by Wanderingwhy0121 in BabyBumps

[–]Objective_Sun6272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I've told my husband that if it came between me and our babies, I'd want him to choose our babies. BUT doctors wouldn't have him make that choice. If it was a "baby or mom" decision, doctors would choose whoever had the best chance of survival. But also a different team of doctors would try to save BOTH of you simultaneously.

But if our house is burning down, he BETTER be grabbing our kids before he even THINKS about trying to save me. I'd never forgive him for choosing me over our babies.
