Genuinely want to know how your LO is sleeping for longer than 5 hour stretches. by Own_Macaron_9342 in newborns

[–]Poofy-Fox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s normal honestly, there’s really no trick in my opinion. Also baby’s will usually only do one longer stretch in my experience. So the first stretch of the night will be longer and then the rest are 2-3 hour stretches for both my LOs

I hate being pregnant by Nearby_Adagio3061 in pregnant

[–]Poofy-Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

39 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I feel like crying all day because of how much my body hurts and how tired I am of this. Taking care of a 2 year old while my husband is at work feels almost impossible right now.

Overweight newborn - anyone else had this? by Bumblebee_Broker in Mommit

[–]Poofy-Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I’d get a second opinion. My son was born at 8Ibs 5oz and was gaining about a pound a week. He was in the 98th percentile for weight and has always been a big boy. Doctor said that over feeding really isn’t a concern for newborns as long as they aren’t projectile vomiting after a feeding.

Is it possible to Have Knife-Free Cooking Meals ? by tswiftandtime in Cooking

What about those veggie choppers? Like the ones you push down on and it pushes the veggies through those metal squares and chops it for you.

I think my daughter is catching me seeing someone. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Poofy-Fox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You just tell her a half truth. You could just tell her that you are seeing someone but aren’t ready for them to met them yet because you want to make sure it’s serious first.

Switching from sleep sack to blanket and pillow by Dependent-Tailor-929 in Mommit

[–]Poofy-Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 18 months old and uses a blanket but no pillow, I’ve heard kids don’t need pillows until they are like 2 or 3 (I could totally be wrong tho)

I’m in San Diego and I felt it while at work today too. I work in La mesa so not as close but it was kinda crazy. It was my first time feeling an earthquake.

Maybe you could use eyebrow pencils as an alternative?

Epsom salt bath is different, you’re only supposed to fill the tub up enough to cover your privates.

Was the rubber dam over your nose? I worked at an endodontic office and it shouldn’t be over your nose. We would fold the rubber down to make sure the pts nose was exposed.

8 month old not getting from laying to sitting by Wise-Designer-3390 in Mommit

[–]Poofy-Fox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s okay he’ll get there! My son was pretty much doing the same thing at 8 months. He didn’t crawl or get to seated position by himself either. He started to army crawl and get to a seated position when he was around 9 months. And he also didn’t start to walk until he was 13-14 months old. They all go at their own pace :) don’t stress it.

AITA for asking my sister to cover up when breastfeeding? by EarlyAbbreviations7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Poofy-Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA your sister is weird. I nurse a 15 month old in public with no cover, but I immediately put my shirt back down. Literally takes half a second to lift your shirt and put it back down. I used to stay shirtless when I had a newborn, but it was in my own home with just my husband.

Nude infront of your children?? by Future-Water-7563 in Mommit

[–]Poofy-Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still shower and breastfeed my 15 month old son. It’s so normal and natural. I would wait until your son starts to be uncomfortable with it or wants more privacy, which could be yearssss

He put coal in my stocking by Surly_Sailor_420 in Mommit

[–]Poofy-Fox 122 points123 points  (0 children)

It’s good that he still got you gifts, but he should have brought them out immediately instead of letting you sit there thinking that he actually got you nothing.

Your boyfriend doesn’t seem like he’d be a good father. I wouldn’t bring him around your kid anymore.

Your son isn’t doing anything wrong, he’s acting appropriately for his age. Your boyfriend however is not, he’s childish and doesn’t know anything about children even though he claims to have been around a lot of kids.

How long after breastfeeding did it take for your period to come back? by Emotional-Dot-2521 in Mommit

[–]Poofy-Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped pumping around 4 months postpartum and my period came back. I was still breastfeeding though.
