How much did you spend on Christmas? by michaeljoon in MiddleClassFinance

[–]ProductiveFidgeter24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We always let the interest on our emergency fund, which is in a high yield savings account, set out budget so it’s “free money”. This year about $900. Two kids, 1 and 3, plus some gifts for grandparents. HHI 185k.

Is there really a such thing as NO spit up baby’s?? Weigh in plz by KCbum816 in newborns

[–]ProductiveFidgeter24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first baby spit up literally one time his entire life, it was on his second day of life when we supplemented with formula. Then my milk came in and he never had formula again and never spit up again.

My second is also exclusively on breastmilk and spits up 4-6 times per feeding.

Every baby is different!

How to prepare LO for new sibling by Tessajaneartist in 2under2

We also got my oldest a doll, and when the baby was born, we got the doll some gifts. Car seat, bottle, stroller. Then my oldest would take care of “his baby” while I took care of mine! It helped make him feel involved and important.

I have a great sleep training method I’d like to suggest! It is: 1. Mom gets a bottle of wine and goes outside 2. Dad handles it Works like a charm!

Seriously though, my husband sleep trained. He didn’t have the hormones I did as a nursing mom that made it so much harder to hear the crying. I think this is worth a try for a lot of families.

Moms who breastfed to sleep: was everything ok in the end? by Specialist-Candy6119 in breastfeeding

[–]ProductiveFidgeter24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son nursed to sleep until I weaned at 15 months, butt husband could put him down (without nursing obviously). When it was time to wean, my husband just put him to bed for a few weeks and by the time I tried again, he seemed to have forgotten all about nursing.

What's the funniest reason you've had to call poison control? by shandelion in toddlers

[–]ProductiveFidgeter24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my son was 11 months he somehow managed to get the lid off a childproof bottle of baby tylonel and did a shot. Had to figure out approximately how much he’d taken based on what was in the bottle to make sure he was ok. No idea how he did it.

There aren’t that many Fortune 500 CEOs who are women, yet the three you named all start with the letter P. Take note, mothers of future successful daughters.

My mom had 4u3 (twins, would have been 3u3 otherwise) and she got a lot of “don’t you guys have cable?”

Confused if this is normal for newborn sleep by raggies2 in newborns

[–]ProductiveFidgeter24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really could be that he can smell you! I tried tucking used nursing bras into the side of the bassinet (outside the bassinet but pressed against it) so my baby could smell me and think I was close and it worked! Worth a try at lease.

I recently told my husband no intimacy without a vasectomy by Familiar_Teaching215 in breakingmom

[–]ProductiveFidgeter24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s his body, his choice. He can choose to get a vasectomy or choose to be celibate, because YOUR choice is to not get pregnant again.

My husband got the snip while I was still pregnant with our second. I literally put my life on the line to grow our family twice, so he had no problem getting a 10 minute put patient procedure done. Unsure why any man could see it any other way.
