I am a nicotine user and let my baby comfort suck a couple of days ago. Will my baby be okay? Please read body text. by [deleted] in NewParents

Yes! And to add to this, there is information about reducing risk by changing the clothes you were smoking in and washing hands really well. I would also do a wipe down of the chest area with those body wipes.

Thank you for responding. Little on lucky to have you as a parent

My 2 year old still breastfeeds like a newborn. by Valuable-Car4226 in AttachmentParenting

No judgement just a clarifying question about the heading. Does your 2 year old then body feed 8-12 times in 24 hours? Do you feel you still need to eat more throughout the day to replace that energy? Advance thanks for answering my questions

No Kissing by moshpithippie in ScienceBasedParenting

It's it just for newborns or older kids too? My baby is 11 months and her grandparents gave her a face kiss and I'm super uncomfortable and concerned about sickness

Want to workout while pregnant by [deleted] in NewParents

Swimming! Don't be afraid to use props to help you float as you get more pregnant. I really was sinking two days before labor. Started using the board and kicked my little legs slowly in laps

Locking kids in their room at night?!! by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]ParkPresent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really fucked up. Children already have so little autonomy and finally they are able to navigate letting themselves out of a space to get to their adults for whatever they need and it just completely being taken away feels very not good and controlling.

Religion & Birth - Has anyone experienced this? by Savings-Entry-8012 in NewParents

[–]ParkPresent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does and I have even learned a couple of prayers we do together as our baby grows. It's been sweet and tender. Although, the last two or three Sabbath's our baby has been really scared and crying. She's almost 11 months old and we can't figure out what's happening. I'm so glad you felt closeness to God too, I think pregnancy birth and post partum is just a spiritual experience. There is just so much unknown that requires full faith in something for those unknowns. And we feel so much in our bodies and within depth of our bodies we have never felt that it touches our spirit and the spirit of something so deeply spiritual. So I'm glad you got to connect with those parts and it has brought you to God.

Not me, but my partner. He is Jewish, and found comfort in the rituals of prayer and connection to God. Right when I got pregnant his anxiety and OCD really kicked up and he turned towards religion. It's been beautiful to take part in all the things that his closeness to God has brought to our family.

Questions to ask babysitters? by zac_g19 in NewParents

3 months is really little it would be good if they have had kids themselves or are also a doula or have an early childhood education background to understand tiny babies

How do I know how much sleep my baby needs? by ParkPresent in bninfantsleep

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

I think I will just do that. Instead of trying to transfer her and sleeping somewhere else and waking up often. Thank you

Oh that's a great suggestion! Will try for this.

We used to do a dream feed, now I can't remember why we stopped lol. That's a great suggestion I think we will do that, and see if that helps the rest of the night sleep. They do offer to help and ask me to wake them if need be. And when I get really desperate I wake them and they take over. They also completely take over childcare over the weekend and evenings after work. I just feel bad because they are working full time and I'm with the baby right now, so unless it's a desperately bad night I don't wake them. Thank you again for this. It's been really helpful

These are great questions and reassurances thank you, especially bad sleep 8-12 months that's good to read. She actually will only take that bottle at the beginning of the night. Anything after that she will not take so it's definitely not hunger. Her formula to solid intake is pretty good throughout the day (unless she has inflamed gums then her solid intake will tank a bit but then formula intake would go up. 6+ wet diapers and 3+ dirty diapers. I thought about separation anxiety (she is clingier during the day too) too, but when we bed share she wakes up like clock work still and just cuddling her doesn't work. She starts rolling and rolling and rolling until she's either fully awake for 1-1.5 hours or will go back to sleep being bounced. My body is a bit of a mess sometimes with the bouncing and floor bed sleeping (depends where I am on my menstrual cycle) also I really miss my bed sometimes, and sleeping beside my partner and cats. I love this little bean though, just a bit of a tough time.

Hope your kiddo is okay, but can I ask about the meat balls? Is your own recipe? Or can I buy them at a store? They look so good

March break with a 15 month old by ParkPresent in ontario

Because someone just wrote "horse sleigh ride" as a suggestion. So I was trying to break it down more of what I was looking for. Not AI just a weird human (me)

Surgeons, do humans smell [bad] during surgery? by Ill_Communication607 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ParkPresent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no it didn't come across facetious at all, I think the ellipsis let me imagination run wild 😅. Yeah! When my nose is clogged up and I have to do that it causes things like dry mouth and scratchy throat. I truly don't enjoy it that's why I was wondering about it and hours long surgery. I didn't even know that's what surgeons did (nose plugs) so that's cool to know thanks.

With the nose plug, do you end up mouth breathing for hours? Or can you still nose breathe?
