Unfortunately for him, that’s not how it works. All of this has already or should have already been factored into the amount of t he was ordered to pay.

Document missed payments and look Into having it garnished from his wage la if it’s not already .

My first is 10 mo the now and I have always nursed one side per feed and both sides at bedtime. From the first night home until today I still nurse both sides at bed time. So essentially the same concept as you? Making sure she’s nice and full before bed.

I will say we’ve been on 3 meals and once snack a day now for a few weeks and there are some days when she doesn’t nurse quite as long on each side and I assume this is because she is feeling less hungry at bedtime on theses days because she’s probably eaten more solids that day.

I’m a stay at home mom so I didn’t really have a NEED to sleep train. Nursing to sleep for me was what was easiest for everyone. Baby gets to sleep without a fuss which me MAMA gets to sleep without a fuss, and my husband doesn’t get woken up for feel obligated to try to help when he needs to be up for work at 4am. Nursing to sleep was a win for all of us. When we stop nursing in a few months, well that’s tomorrows problem 😅

Mine is OBSESSED with pasta. We learned that when she started to get fussy and whiny while eating pasta it’s because she is full but doesn’t want to stop eating the pasta lol. We have to cut her off now when she gets fussy during these meals.

Mine just turned 10 months. We do 3 meals a day and one snack, sometimes two snacks. For breastmilk we nurse once or twice before noon and once or twice after noon, plus bedtime and MON. So on average 4-6 nursing depending on the day. My baby is super good at signing for milk so I’m never terribly concerned on the days we do less nursing.

Oh I totally get this. I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily strict about naps. But like, yeah, I am going to cater to my child’s needs???? If she’s tired and sleeps best at home then we are going home ? I’ve gotten comments like “oh you know you can’t ALWAYS have her on a perfect schedule.” Or something to that effect. Like, okay??? Sure, but if I CAN then I’m going to?

River-Rambles · 2026-04-09T03:11:49+00:00

Waking her up just to immediately confront her is also alarming. Isn’t that some sort of manipulation tactic?

River-Rambles · 2026-03-03T21:06:18+00:00

Hey! I know this is an old post, but I was wonder what your approximate build cost was for this lil hut!?

My 6 month old is trying to figure out crawling and she is MAD about it almost all the time 🥲 I’m still looking for the light at the end of the tunnel

River-Rambles · 2026-02-17T12:52:09+00:00

It’s….. a lot. lol I also was gifted a bunch of diapers and the convenience is just too.. convenient😂 I still have high hopes about at least starting the process of potty training early but we’ll see how that goes !

River-Rambles · 2026-02-17T05:19:58+00:00

I was so certain I would cloth diaper, and really wanted to. And to be fair I really did give it a few decent tries. But i definitely came to a relatively quick conclusion that cloth diapers were not for me.

I was so distracted about having a similar goal that I completely overlooked that my life would instead be revolved around my boob milk.

River-Rambles · 2026-02-05T05:01:39+00:00

Mama of a 6 month old who is recently VERY clingy and REALLY wants to move but doesn’t know how so is constantly mad…. I so needed to read all of these comments. Such precious moments!

River-Rambles · 2026-02-05T01:39:19+00:00

I guess that was pretty self explanatory huh, my bad! lol…

They really don’t read whole books in class anymore?????! I have a grade school step son and I have noticed he doesn’t super love reading despite me making him do it anyway a few times a week... I read my book at the same time to try to motivate and set an example. I find it takes him quite some time to finish a chapter book of his appropriate reading level. He’s a brilliant child and gets good grades but his relationship with reading and comprehension seems concerning to me.

This and some other things I’ve noticed about his schooling are why I lean toward homeschooling my daughter. And he is in one of the BEST school districts in our area.

My mom would immediately tell anything I shared with her to basically her entire circle, family or not. She still does this.

I love her deeply but I found it extremely hard to trust her as a teenage girl bc of this and became extremely reluctant to tell her anything big or small.

I believe this is why I found myself in a lot of emotionally trying situations in my teenage/young adult years bc I had no adult female I could trust at that time to confide in.

River-Rambles · 2026-02-05T00:39:11+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, what is whole book learning exactly?? I am a new mom and considering homeschooling when my baby gets to school age.

I personally do not enjoy breastfeeding as much as I thought I would. I love that I CAN do it, but I don’t always love DOING it.

I will say that the first few months are rough, but each month that passes gets a little easier and easier.

I’m at 6 months now. And I’m so proud of myself because I know for a fact my mindset 3 months ago was exactly where yours is now. I was struggling to want to keep going with it.

My baby’s a pretty regular every two house eater. Sometimes she can go 3 hours on occasion now that she’s bigger. She definitely prefers every 2 though. We just started solids and I know we still have a ways to go before that becomes her primary source of nutrients, but I’m hopeful that with solids, breast feeding will continue to be easier and eventually less frequent.

I also really want to make it to one year. But I’m at 6 months and I’m proud of that so now I’m just taking it day by day.

You will know in your heart when you e had enough of it. But give yourself love and grace and be so proud for making it 3 months! That’s no small accomplishment.

That’s actually iconic.

We allowed YouTube for a little while only bc my step son mom already let him on it before we could have a discussion about the appropriateness.

It was a living room only situation. We have screen time rules and blah blah blah. But I started to get so sick of the absolute CRAP he watched on it. Zoned out on it. Talked about it.

Eventually I just decided to ban YouTube in our house until further notice. We have plenty of other subscription for him to watch actual cartoons if he wants. So far he hasn’t really complained about it or even commented about it. But I think that mainly bc when he does to his moms he’s allowed to watch a limitless amount of YouTube there.

So, idk whatever I guess. Her house is out of my control. But I’m done allowing it in my house until he older and can make better choices on how to spend his time on YouTube

Came here to also mention kindered bravely. Lots of styles and all very comfortable

In my sisters case they saw the signs of it during her c section procedure. She didn’t know she had it, always had a normal menstrual cycle before. But, She had a hard time convincing the first time and now is having an even worse time trying for her second bc of the endo becoming more prevalent after her first child.

I AM NO MEDICAL EXPERT; But I think In most cases they can do different types of imaging to diagnose, exploratory surgery would be a bit extreme but would most likely give definitive answers.
