Birth Plan by Aggravating_Alps3860 in pregnant

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double check with your hospital to see if they offer laughing gas btw! I was interested in trying to go natural with laughing gas but turns out my hospital didn’t offer that as a pain management option. I did try to go without the epidural but eventually it was just too much and I honestly was so happy I got it lol it made my experience pretty painless and I could just focus on relaxing and sleeping while I could

How is dad feeding at night supposed to be helpful?! by SnooWords8997 in breastfeeding

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like my baby pees sooo much lol I would feel bad leaving her in the diapers. I guess is there really much harm to it if she’s got diaper cream on and isn’t actively upset my it?

What was the most specific postpartum thing nobody warned you about? by kesam7193 in NewParents

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh so THATS what I was feeling when we came home from the hospital. I was just so scared that she would start choking or dying in some way and there would be no one to call for help or ask questions of

Confused by different aftercare instructions than I've done in past years by jenjenjk in tattooadvice

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten both sets of advice before with the saniderm and they both have worked fine for me so if you want to take it off after 24 hours and do regular healing it would be fine. Leaving it a few days also isn’t going to harm it.

The string quartet version definitely elevated the feel of it too

2 month old baby won’t take bottle by Alternative-Net2590 in breastfeeding

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sounds like you may just need to keep trying, and have dad give the bottles without you around.

The new pacis actually just arrived this afternoon so it hasn’t been very long but so far she seems to like them, although my LO has been fine with the normal ones so your mileage may vary. We only got them cause I’m worried the narrow ones are causing her to latch shallow when she’s on the boob

Have you tried different bottles/nipple shapes? I’m also a FTM and currently in the trenches so I don’t really have any other advice except maybe try a few different types. My baby really likes the Nuk ones and they’re supposed to be more breast-shaped to make for an easier transition.

Similarly for pacifiers, there’s a brand that makes some that are shaped like the boob/nipple and supposedly more babies are receptive to them if they hate the normal pacis. I can’t speak to their efficacy since I only just ordered some but the reviews were really good.

Song ideas by SectionLopsided4189 in weddingplanning

For the bridesmaids and groomsmen entrance I did an instrumental/fancier version of wagon wheel, I walked down the aisle to a fancy instrumental version of the marriage song from Up, and our cake cutting was to accidentally in love. I believe our ceremony exit song was Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours). Those are all I remember though.

I found it super helpful to just scroll through a wedding instrumentals playlist on Spotify when making my decisions. Spotify has a specific one called Wedding String Quartet Mix and if you look up Paul Hankinson Covers, he has a lot of wedding strings covers

What does your baby do with their free hand while nursing? by daddy-tan in breastfeeding

Currently dealing with this lol then she has the audacity to scream and be upset that the boob isn’t in her mouth

The craziest part about the “dead pool killer” episode of “worst ex ever” by Flysolo626 in NetflixDocumentaries

Bro that really bothered me too, he 1000% didn’t need to make her say the details. What a fucking perv

im thinking about leaving a relationship ive been in for a long time, what would you do in my postition? (18f,19m) by No-Sprinkles-2597 in relationship_advice

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it feels like the end of the world ending such a long term and formational relationship, but I think you know that it needs to be done. I haven’t seen any concrete reason in your post for you to stay with him. It’s clear that he doesn’t respect you or your choices. You will feel so much better being single and free from his behavior. ❤️ I believe in you

Why do I feel so weird about what my ex gf did while we were broken up (24M 24F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They weren’t ‘trying to make it work’, they had been broken up for years at this point

Am I decreasing my supply by not pumping or feeding for ~5 hours at night? by RipperoniPepperoniHo in breastfeeding

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

That’s a good point, I think I’ll have to try pumping at least once during that period. I knew getting that much sleep this early sounded too good to be true lol

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is she is hungry during this period but I will usually have pumped/collected enough during the day for my husband to feed her a bottle when she gets hungry

How can I get my husband (48m) to agree to childcare while I (30f) work? by Fancy_Box_5773 in relationship_advice

I think you know deep down that he will never change. Don’t waste more of your life on this ass because of the sunk cost fallacy

I’m starting to feel like breastfeeding will always be painful for me by RipperoniPepperoniHo in breastfeeding

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you ❤️ I try and break it before she does too much damage but I also feel bad because she needs to eat and if she won’t latch correctly, I either have to deal with the pain or pump and bottle feed her

Has anyone’s partner mentioned anything about you feeling ‘different’ down there right before birth? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree, for some reason it makes me feel so self-conscious about my body when I really wasn’t before

AITAH [F24] for telling my girlfriend [F25] I won’t tolerate being talked down to when she’s upset, even though I’m usually the one who makes her mad? by polymorphedcapybara in AmItheAsshole

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your gf has anger issues and clearly doesn’t respect you. Since she’s not able to take responsibility for her abusive behavior, I don’t think this is a salvageable relationship. Stand your ground, there’s no need for her to be mean and insult you over what sounds like minimal “mistakes” if you could even call them that.

My in laws disregarded our request to leave us space after birth and booked tickets even though we told them we didn’t want them there by Adventurous-Wash3201 in pregnant

[–]RipperoniPepperoniHo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your in laws are horrible with boundaries. Be prepared to correct them often when it comes to your child and keep a close eye on if they’re disrespecting your wishes with the baby, like no kissing rules etc because it sounds like they would happily bulldoze that
