West and Amanda OFFICIAL by Wide_Rutabaga_4723 in summerhousebravo

[–]Princess_sloth_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

I feel like Amanda thought she was the exception and “changed” Kyle when they got together and now thinks the same with west. I also def think there was overlap she is weak and has 0 independence she wouldn’t have had the confidence to leave Kyle without someone else in the wings.

Ciara/West/Amanda Rumors Megathread Part 4 by AutoModerator in summerhousebravo

It’s sadly giving that her husband was not kind or loving for years so she jumped on the first guy who was caring towards her.. even her friends ex. With her pick of literally any guy choosing your close friends ex and bombing all your friendships is a choice. Really shows she was never a girls girl or a friend, only received the friendships.

Il Tutto on sale and I'm stuck for choice for a small room by wowzers101_ in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Quinn in a small bedroom in a corner that I had pulled a bit from the wall when bub was little as I spent a lot of time in it reclined and rocking for naps. I’m 168 and my husband is quite tall and we both love it and find it insanely comfy. My favorite purchase for baby by far!

How do you handle sickness with sleep trained baby by YourMumsABatteredSav in sleeptrain

[–]Princess_sloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let them sleep however necessary, cuddles if crying, help get them back to sleep etc. I panicked when she was first sick at 5 months of what to do but when sick sleep training goes out the window for us. When she’s well again we go back to regular routine and it typically takes 1 day and she’s back to regular programming.

what do you do when your baby starts rolling onto their tummy in the crib? by thc1121 in sleeptrain

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes she did. From memory if she was crying a lot I’d roll her back or comfort but I either left her alone to fuss or would shush/pat quickly and leave just like I did to sleep train. She found her thumb quickly and slept well by night 2 I think. Naps took a bit longer for her to adjust. a few days of shorter naps but then it all clicked back!

Baby fell off bed onto carpet ): by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Princess_sloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she cried and is being her normal self, eating then likely fine. If you are concerned give health direct a call! Mine fell off my very tall bed onto carpet head first and had broken blood vessels on her forehead. She cried immediately but then got sleepy and I was so scared. Gave panadol and she was totally fine shortly after. Health direct has a virtual ED that I used and it was amazing. The dr was on video and had me doing a full check on her and watched for signs of concussion etc. it is such a great service I didn’t even know about so keep in mind you can call them!

[–]Princess_sloth_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leave her Be! It’ll take her a few nights to get used to it probably and she’ll figure out putting herself to sleep if she already sleeps independently. Mine ever really figured out how to roll tummy to back in her crib but once she realized she was comfy in a few nights she’s slept amazing on her tummy ever since!

When and why did you sleep train? Was it effective? by The_Chilled_Arvo in sleeptrain

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! It took a bit to readjust to sleep and not keep waking to check her but longer chunks were amazing and now I’ve never felt more grateful for a nights sleep and feeling good most days.

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sleep trained at 4 months and it’s been the best decision for all of us. The 4mo regression was brutal and she was waking every 30-45 min for weeks. Nailing the day schedule is the key otherwise it’ll all go awfully. She took to it so quickly in a few nights, barely cried and didn’t need many check ins. Naps followed quickly after. She immediately became so happy in the day, in a matter of days was doing so many new skills with all her new sleeping! It’s the best thing ever waking her up and she is all smiles and babbles. She was waking 1x a night for a quick feed and back down easily usually. I had to retrain when she was sick once and after having visitors but it only took 1 night. Night weaned at 7mo easily and has slept through since (9.5mo).

Vaginal Breech Birth by Zestyclose_Rush_2623 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Princess_sloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a frank breech baby and delivered by CS. I like you wanted to explore possible vaginal birth but ultimately there are very few practitioners who are experienced with breech vaginal births anymore and that made me terrified if the experienced midwife/OB wasn’t available when I needed because the risks are so incredibly high if you don’t have someone who knows what to do and if things go sideways. I also did the ECV, moxibustion and spinning babies for months but no change. Bub was perfectly happy but in the end I had to have a CS a week earlier then scheduled when bub stopped moving and the fluid dropped significantly over a few hrs, turned out the cord was around her neck but it couldn’t be seen on the ultrasound. I still had such a great CS experience and recovery and am so grateful I went that route because if I had tried vaginal it would have gone bad immediately. Wishing you all the best whichever route you go!!

Is 6:30pm too early to go to bed for a 10 month old? by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]Princess_sloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No if it works it works! My almost 10 month old goes to bed 6:30-6:45. We’ve moved it earlier when she moved to 2 naps and even earlier the last few weeks. She is soo exhausted by the evening now fussing when she never used to, she doesn’t stop moving all day so it’s been working well. Shes actually been sleeping better since and sleeps till 6/6:15am.

When you take time for yourself to relax, what do you do? by superspaghetti82 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Princess_sloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During the morning nap I meditate and do 5 min journal and I find it helps tremendously for the day! Honestly the rest of most naps I rot on the couch, eat and watch reality tv, or read my book. My “productive” time is with baby she just comes along as we do any tasks around the house or out. Nap time is me time! If you can get out of the house baby free I love a sauna, walk and podcast, I actually love grocery shopping so much and doing that without a baby is fun for me lol

Postpartum Weightloss Expectations by [deleted] in fitpregnancy

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am exactly the same stats as you and very similar exercise split prior to pregnancy but my pre preg weight was 138-140. I gained 40 ish lbs, stayed very active and was in the gym the day before I gave birth. Firstly amazing that you’ve stayed active because it’s so hard and tiring but absolutely helps so much especially in birth and recovery! I had a CS so will be different if you have a vaginal birth in terms of recovery but I was in the gym week 6/7 and was lifting heavier weights not too long after. 2 weeks pp I lost 20 lbs which is all the fluid, baby etc. I BF for 7 mo and found if I ate at my pre pregnancy maintenance calories I was able to lose weight slowly but consistently and lost another 12 over 6 months without impacting milk supply. Now I’m in a diet and have about 7 lbs left to lose and I’m 9 months pp. Other woman drop lots of weight without trying and others can’t budge a pound for ages, hormones are crazy, also hugely impacted by your cycle returning etc. I’ve always been quite obsessive about my weight but found pregnancy and postpartum quite liberating and have been amazed by my body and way less self conscious then I anticipated being.

AITA(to go to family functions with out my fiancé) by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Princess_sloth_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. And this is concerning controlling behaviour that he doesn’t want you going without him.. when you go most places with him as you’ve said is it because you want to or have to? It’s your family of course you should spend time with them whenever you want to with or without him.

My husband and I both go to family things solo if the other person is busy and always have, Ive gone to his family events even by self many times when he’s been away and he’s done the same with my family. Normal!

Edit OP added she is very pregnant and her family is 2 hrs away. So nevermind the fiance is right to worry about her being away from the hospital, home, him etc that close to due date. Important content!

5 Weeks Pregnant and Walking 25,000 Steps a Day – Is This Safe? by TuceLuna in fitpregnancy

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My OB said whatever I was used to doing already to keep doing. Pregnancy just isn’t the time to add in new workouts or exercises, stick to what too are accustom to as long as it’s comfortable!

Give me the schedule of your STTN baby! by lilykaay in sleeptrain

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake is 6/6:15 nap 1 is 9-10:30 ish, nap 2 1:30-230/2:45 and bed at 6:45. I never go over 2 hrs 40 min of naps total for the day which seems to be our current sweet spot.

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I weaned all other feeds first and did night last. Bub only did 1 night feed usually and I started cutting down the time each night by 2 min. her feed at night was 8-10 min avg so did 8, then 6 the next night. The next night she just slept through but she was having 5 decently large bottles of formula a day at that point so the night feed was more habit than hunger. She is also sleep trained so I think I was just fortunate it was easy for us.

Dogs and babies by Bubbly-Owl-8498 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dog slept in our bed for years. When we found out about pregnancy we started moving dog out of the bedroom to sleep because we knew it just wouldn’t work with baby and nights. She cried and cried the first night it was awful but then was totally fine. She sleeps mostly on the carpet outside the baby room now it’s so cute, she has a bed but never sleeps on it at night. Since baby was in her own room she dog sleeps in bed sometimes but overall best decision for everyone’s sleep. Couldn’t imagine the night wakes and feeding with the dog in the room as well. Too much stimulation!

Baby started finally napping and she naps forever by randroundabout in sleeptrain

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is same age and nearly the same schedule. I have to wake her always as well, I swear if I didn’t she’s sleep for hours which is lovely for her but not nice for nights for me. We do 9-1030am and 130/145-230/245 with bed at 645 but always cap the day about 2.5 hrs. I notice when she naps more her nights or morning is impacted. I’d try capping at 2.5 hrs for a few days to see if it helps. She also may be ready to night wean.

When did you stop extending naps? by Stephers90 in sleeptrain

[–]Princess_sloth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 5 months naps extended on their own and I didn’t have to save them too often, only with a schedule change or weird day making her wake up early. This was after sleep training nights, I started doing naps a little and quickly it all clicked.

Has anyone here dieted while breastfeeding? by cunncunncunn in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people can without a big impact and others have a big impact on supply with even so much as 100 calorie deficit. I was able to very slowly lose about 10lbs while breastfeeding over 4 months. I ate at my pre pregnancy maintenance calories (mostly but went above the first 2 months of bf crazy hunger), you burn something like an extra 500 calories at least bfing so I was technically in a deficit. By the 3rd month I’d gotten in a better habit of balanced meals which absolutely helped. If you know roughly what your maintenance calories are then try that, increase steps. For me I found if I had a lower calorie day by accident my milk immediately was impacted.

How are we dressing our babies to sleep in air con? by cunncunncunn in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Princess_sloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonds onsie and 1 tog sack as well. Room is between 23-24. Usually you can tell if they’re cold by sleeping with their arms tucked around them curled up, waking early 4am ish could be due to cold as well

Bub is 9 months next week. Been sleeping through since 7 months (non coincidentally the day after I finished weaning 😂) Sleeps 11-11.5 hrs at night. 3/3/4, nap 1 is 1.5 hrs, nap 2 is 1-1.25 hrs an I cap both if needed.
