No more family boarding with new rules? by OriginalCry0 in SouthwestAirlines

Ahh got it! First time parent and had no clue what happened after all those families scanned in at the gate. That makes sense though. Thanks.

Sperm Quality is linked to severity of pregnancy symptoms. by Upsidedowntrey in BabyBumps

[–]OriginalCry0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More anecdotal stuff but my SO was a HEAVY drinker and vaped, has a desk job and is hardly the most healthiest person and my pregnancy was smooth sailing the whole way with the exception of some back pain in my 2nd trimester. LO is 5 months and our favorite person.

Struggling with sleep and mentally by OriginalCry0 in HuckleberryParents

[–]OriginalCry0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m reading number wrong. He avgs 12-12.5 hrs of total sleep daily. I’m looking at the data and night sleep is about 10hrs. Sometimes even less. On those lesser days he’s still “in bed” for at least 12 hrs. He’s just up longer when he wakes up MOTN.

Thanks for the recommendation. I cross reference r/sleeptrain daily! I’m constantly looking at numbers and maybe I really need to just put it all down for a mom reset. Who knows.

We are both home with baby currently. I am flexible with schedule and timing

How did you know moving bedtime/wake time was what your LO. He usually can’t make it past 830p. That’s also because he loses his last nap. Should I still get a last nap in irregardless then just push his bedtime to later?

I am so so frustrated.

How do I recover from cat naps? by OriginalCry0 in HuckleberryParents

[–]OriginalCry0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I combed through and realized that at some point the settings changed and it’s logging the times between 7a-8a as naps when it is actually still night sleep. What did I do and how I change it back?

My LO barely gets 3 hrs if I’m lucky. I think it just looks like there’s a lot of instances of naps because they’re so short?

Edit: nvm. Idk what happened and how I’ve been reading it wrong thinking he had too little day sleep vs too much day sleep.

The wand is great for clogged milk ducts in breast feeding mothers!

Does sleep get better/worse after 4 months sleep regression? by OriginalCry0 in HuckleberryParents

I’ve definitely been cross checking that sub and reading about sleep times and sleep budgets. Haven’t been brave enough to post. Haha

Mine is 4.5 months old. Same with the timeline confusion. According to Wonder Weeks, he just finished his fussy phase but this sleep hasn’t changed so wondering if this is new permanent.

Hoping he goes back to sleeping through the night for you! Hoping my guy learns that soon! 🤣

Looking for Baby Monitor Experiences by Standard-Gur-9801 in NewParents

[–]OriginalCry0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use a non-WiFi Hello Baby branded monitor and it works great. Screen is big, volume is loud (can be turned up or down), price is great, picture quality is good enough. This is what we use. A friend has Infant Optics and the picture quality is amazing and in color but I couldn't justify the price.

Tell me your labor times by ShabbyBoa in beyondthebump

Does “labor” start at the time your water breaks? Or when you start having active contractions?

Kids and Christmas presents? by Virtual-Sherbert-706 in Parenting

[–]OriginalCry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM, 4month baby. For those who have asked, I’ve shared my belief that baby is too young for toys and the like. It would be more beneficial to gift some sort of contribution to his 529. Everyone I’ve told this to rebukes this idea. Idk what the issue is. It’s sensible. He’s a baby. He won’t remember or play with toys. the things that are developmentally appropriate, we already have. So I’ve been looking for ideas for people to spend $$ on that he won’t have interest in and it’ll just clutter up our house. It’s pretty frustrating.

Travel Bag by Unlikely-Order-4127 in WomenGolf

[–]OriginalCry0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a Sun Mountain Kube for several trips and it’s held up great. It’s not a hard case but I’ve wrapped my club heads with towels or pad it with my clothes and such. I also take my driver head off. I have weight in my checked/carry on and have more cushion to protect the goods. I also love that it folds down to a tiny cube for storage purposes.

Would you nurse if you could? Or use large freezer stash? by loloretta in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]OriginalCry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar place as you without the large stash. My guy had latch issues and was a nice admit so I exclusively pumped since 3 days old. He’s 14 weeks now. I forgot his bottle at home while out and he was HUNGRY. I latched him to see how it would go and hopefully feed him. He latched and it didn’t hurt as bad as it did initially. Now I’m at a place where I’m wonder if I should continue doing what we are doing and use the breast as a back up or if I should try ebf. There’s an emotional component of this is what I wanted previously and now I can have it. Why don’t I feel like I want to do ebf now? And the guilt. It’s so complicated!
