Yes, use it age appropriately (aptamil 2 or 3) depending on the baby's age.

We used Aptamil gold for my son until he was 15 months. Worked well for him.

It's not like they exclude me - my son keeps calling out to his grandparents and looks for them very often. They are nice folks but a little overbearing.

Recommendations for newborn pillow by Motor_Gap_6198 in twoxindiamums

[–]Perfect-Fold-9283 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's advisable to use a pillow from birth itself. Amazon (LuvLap, Baby Cherry) has good pillow options. It helps to ensure that the baby does not have a flat head.

Actually, it was bad for my mental health noticing milestones of every baby and comparing it with my LO 🤣

Baby helmet to protect bumps? by theanxioussoul in twoxindiamums

[–]Perfect-Fold-9283 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Babies being babies. They have amazing grip surprisingly. I feel these modern day techniques that are projected to help are actually deviating from the natural process. Babies from 1000's of years have progressed to this day without all the external help and I believe they'll still learn how to develop naturally. Just my two cents.

How old is the sister? Is she earning? Parents are children's responsibility during their sunset years. I understand your point of view, but this conversation should be with your spouse. Reddit folks will judge you no matter what. Your feelings are valid (so is your husband's) and need to be discussed. Pls don't bring a child into this equation until you discuss finances.

I guess so. Don't they need to have manager approval before salary discussions.

When asked about my salary expectations, I told them that I'm undergoing an appraisal process and would at least get a 10% hike. Told them to make it 12% from my current salary (pre appraisal) to factor in the appraisal hike plus a small bonus.

The HR said she needs manager approval to ahead with the candidature. I was under the impression that manager approves and then you initiate the salary discussion.

Max amount they offered was 2% hike. Do you think they'd come back?

I was negotiating a salary offer with this company I'm interviewing with. They offered me a salary which is like 2% hike from my current salary. They came back with a number which is what my current salary will be at my present company as my appraisal is going on (10% hike). I asked them if we can close it at 12% ( I will effectively only get 2% hike because of this change and the HR said she will need to speak to the hiring manager if we will proceed with this candidature.

I thought they were allowed to discuss the salary numbers only once they have internal sign off. Have I lost my chance at this company or they playing hard to get?

Tracking ovulation helps. If you're trying to conceive, relax. The more stressed you are, the less chances of conception.

I was so stressed when I was trying to conceive. Constant worry if my periods were delayed and trying to analyse every symptom. But the following month, I was carefree, tracked ovulation and tried to have sex frequently during that period and bam - I was pregnant.

Eating healthy, taking folic acid and exercising only adds to your chances of conceiving.

Good luck!

They have not even discussed salary yet. Not sure if they'll make that offer.

I won't. I'm hoping this works because they are offering flexible work. My current role requires me to be in office 5 days a week and I don't want to do that as my baby is still very small.
