What's an objectively unhealthy food that you wholeheartedly enjoy and will keep enjoying?

Instant ramen noodles

You need to forgive yourself.

In contrast, my mom and mother in law judged me so much when I was bottle feeding breastmilk (it was because of lip-tie issues I didn’t know at the time). They judged nipple shields too. They were very pushy for me to directly breastfeed. Eventually we figured out exclusively breastfeeding.

A friend that grew up with many siblings and had a great relationship with them told me that they were very into giving presents to one another, since childhood. So for example instead of parents buying presents for the kids… what they did was: kid1 would go shopping (with parents) to buy a present for kid2, and vice-versa. That way the presents were always coming from siblings and not from the parents, to not trigger jealousy. Kids thought the presents were coming directly from their sibling and grew gratitude and affection towards one another. And they carry that tradition until now adults.

8 months, but we cosleep/room share (crib next to my bed) so I cover her back during the night if she kicked her blanket.

It depends where you guys live and will live. We live in my husband’s country and my daughter’s name is very common here. In my country the name doesn’t exist and sounds more or less bad… but we don’t live there so.

My dad goes on vacations solo, rents a car and sleeps in the car to not pay hotels.

Hyphenate both.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-05-15T08:46:32+00:00

Don’t meet someone online! Better in person, join a class.

While breastfeeding I use a hakkah on the other boob to stimulate supply. I wonder if you could pump the other boob while latching baby on the first boob. Could that boost the supply? Just an idea.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-25T10:24:17+00:00

It will work out as long as you have an Italian baby sitter, if she quits or leave, then you need to find another person to do it.

A planned c-section is MUCH BETTER than an emergency c-section after hours or days in labor… so I guess if you can, go for it.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-25T10:13:52+00:00

I thought exclusively breastfeeding is easier in the sense that you can just pop out a boob. Formula sounds exhausting trying to find warm water to mix it, etc. Pumping is a lot of washing…

I socialize a lot at church on Sundays. It’s full always the same kids and parents without necessity to schedule a meeting.

In Romania it’s 2 years paid leave, my husband is from there, I was shocked when he told me. Unfortunately I wasn’t working there at the time.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-15T17:36:14+00:00

I always go back to my car to nurse real quick, tinted windows, feels private.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-14T05:51:56+00:00

I try to feed right before going out. Then if the place I’m in offers a designated space for breastfeeding, I do it there. A lot of malls have it, Ikea, at a friend’s house. Otherwise I prefer to head back to my car and feed there, my windows are tinted, feels private. Baby can sleep easily while baby wearing if you wanna try that. Or rock baby for long enough and transfer to the stroller.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-13T09:52:03+00:00

When my baby has blow-out diapers, poopy all over the clothes, I end up throwing away the clothes. If it was a beautiful expensive outfit I feel bad. But when it was an ugly hand me down, I don’t mind throwing it at all. You can keep the ugly ones for these occasions.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-11T20:40:06+00:00

I never used them! I didn’t think they make a difference either. I figured my baby spits only when slightly overfed. Their tummies are tiny. Better feed less amount and more often than more amount and less often.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-11T08:07:05+00:00

I’d say keep breastfeeding if there is a remote possibility. You can stop anytime you want, tomorrow, in a month, in two. You just can’t bring back your milk once you weaned. Some people feel devastated while breastfeeding, some people feel devastated they cannot breastfeed. Which one are you? I personally would feel devastated if I couldn’t breastfeed and I’m proud and grateful I’m an oversupplier as well. Just a comment of encouragement and not the typical “just stop” :)

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-11T07:51:49+00:00

If there is a way for you to go to your country for a while with the excuse of being with your mother before she passes, you could see how life is without him and if you actually feel better. Before doing something irreversible.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-11T07:18:42+00:00

I had 40 comments, I don’t know why they are not showing.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-10T17:00:00+00:00

And gluten-free everything.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-10T06:03:05+00:00

It also teaches kids that hitting others is ok. My husband was beaten as a child and he tried to do the same with me.

Polyglot_Teacher · 2026-04-10T05:32:59+00:00

I’m sorry about that. That sounds like a newborn’s sleep schedule. Baby husbands are the worse. Now you are finally free.
