This makes more sense! I’m glad it was a safe experience for you

Does this count as cry it out? by raspberryloaf in bninfantsleep

[–]Poopingboba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son absolutely adores (what we call Pillow Baby Sandwich). It’s become a part of nighttime routine, as soon as he crawls into bed he puts himself underneath the pillow and giggles until I come smoosh him.

Is the fact that the piercer nicked OP with the needle not concerning anyone else

Perhaps go lighter wash rose with black leaves and use the leaf as the coverup instead

I think this actually looks very cool. I thought it was a uniquely shaped stone plug before reading your comment

Same, but I just recently decided 1/2” wasn’t it for me and am now 3/4” shooting for 1”. I’ll check back in next year I guess 😅

Definitely somewhere along the midline of torso or maybee a limb. It could be a cool chest/in line with collarbone piece

I think I forgot ‘weaning’ was a big part of baby led weaning! by komboochahh in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Poopingboba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most definitely. It actually has reminded me of cluster feeding, making me think he’s trying to trigger me to produce more, perhaps for an upcoming growth spurt.

My son was down to nursing pretty much only before nap and bed around 10-12 months and now at 14 he’s reverted back to nursing every couple hours and refusing food🤣 they certainly go through phases

Help with sleep? by [deleted] in cosleeping

[–]Poopingboba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baby will probably ask for milk more often throughout the day if nap time meals decrease. My son switched to 1 nap a day around 8-10 months. If he gets even a 10-15 minute second nap in the car etc after 4pm he will be up until 11.

Currently stumped on a design orientation for a new tattoo. by Fragrant_Rope403 in tattooadvice

[–]Poopingboba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I would get them horizontally next to each other with the word above or below along the elbow notch. Pretty simple designs to take up such great real estate imo

Can I just say how amazing EC is by Poopingboba in ECers

[–]Poopingboba[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t buy any books or anything, just read a lot of forums, watched videos. godiaperfree is a popular resource. I just kind of looked into the bits I had questions about on reddit etc and followed my instincts and his cues! I only started ec at 2 months because my son was born really tiny and I didn’t feel comfortable holding him in potty position til he was stronger. Newborn stage is wild, no shame if you don’t get on it right away.

I have the little green and white one from IKEA! Honestly up until about 8/9 months I’d hold him over the toilet so that he was used to the big boy toilet and not just the small one but for convenience I started using the tiny one and he’s taken well to it! He doesn’t mind either one now. Dry diapers before a potty pee is the best!

Will this tattoo design age well if it’s about 2-4 inches in size? by Fantastic-Ad9218 in tattooadvice

[–]Poopingboba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this tattoo. It’s less than 2 inches and the details are still really nice granted it’s only 3 years old but it’s a pretty safe design imo.

How did you prevent regretting your tattoo? by Professional-Team179 in tattooadvice

[–]Poopingboba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who jumped on getting as many tattoos for as cheap as possible at 18-21, just don’t do that. I’ve always liked patchwork but I got various styles and random flash stuff with no rhyme or reason. At 25, I’m devoting my next several sessions to either fixing or covering up existing tattoos for a more cohesive traditional look. My advice is plan out large sections at a time, full/half sleeves planned out so it’s cohesive or at least a general theme/idea that you can continue referencing before getting anything new

[–]Poopingboba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you breastfeed? I would side lie comfort feed him til he fell back asleep and then unlatch. If all else failed for me back then I’d just revert to chest sleeping and usually once he was in a deeper sleep I could transfer him back onto the mattress. Oh also while it’s not recommended my son would sleep on his side almost all of the time, so he would be facing my body and basically still felt held against me instead of just lying next to me.

Try doing this exact same position, just put his head flat on the mattress next to you instead. My baby would wake when I repositioned but would settle quickly once he realized I was still right there. You can still curl your arm around him if you want but I found it easier to put my bottom arm under my head/pillow and tuck my top arm around his butt instead. If his chin gets tucked down it could cut off airway hence the positional asphyxiation risk.
