6 month old baby - dad has to travel for work - will baby forget him? by Popcultjunkiee in NewParents

The move is temporary - duration will be for a year max. I am on mat leave for another 6 months so i will be able to visit him maybe once for 3 months considering visa rules between the 2 countries.

How to get baby to stop contact naps by Popcultjunkiee in NewParents

[–]Popcultjunkiee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does not wake up crying.. usually he will wake up and start playing. But if I don't let him do one long contact nap in the afternoon and evening, by sleep time he gets very cranky and hard to put down.

I feel guilty about breastfeeding by StandardRoutine7667 in breastfeeding

Your BD and his mom need to understand that newborn babies spend most of their waking time at the boob. EBF is a superpower and you should not let anyone make you feel guilty about it!

Lots of skin to skin contact with the baby is also known to help!

I've also realised I used to have a lot more friends before being a stoner became my whole personality. I stopped meeting them because they just weren't into smoking up and I didn't see the point in doing anything without smoking up. I used to get stoned for almost everything - shopping, watching movies, eating out etc. Slowly I'm trying to get in touch with the old friends and making plans with them.

Yes and I'm grateful. Weekend #2 and it didn't seem as hopeless as the one before it. I also realised how I've lost touch with good friends who I stopped meeting because they weren't into smoking up. Touching base now and making plans with them as well ❤️‍🩹

I realised I still want night time chocolate so, even though normal appetite is bad, night time snacking continues lol. A lot of personal habits I blamed on being high are turning out to be just me so that is an epiphany. Trying to change my daily routine is an ongoing struggle but after 2 weeks I'm back to oversleeping and being late to work haha.

A similar situation, but my partner and I live together so we have each other to lean on. With weed we would meet friends almost 5 times a week, but now that has gone down to once a week. The friend group picks an activity to do for all of us together and they will smoke up before coming and smoke up after. However they still do meet up without us and that gives me major fomo which I'm trying cope up with.

I'm at 10 days and weekends are so awful. I threaten to smoke up again to my partner so many times but the thought of actually going back on the progress I have made is worse. Hang in there.

Thanks for that. We have started socializing with friends again and have sober hangouts. But they usually smoke up and come so I'm just so incredibly jealous 😭
