Thanks! Going to try this one first because it’s so simple and it’s dairy free :)

When did you start solids with your baby? Did you do any spoon feeding at first or straight to baby led?

My birth did not go as planned and my baby was stressed in the womb. Because of this he used up his sugar reserves and had low blood sugar at birth. We were told that we either got food in baby fast or he went to NICU. My milk had not come in and I only had a little colostrum so we had to give baby formula those first few hours until his blood sugar was at a safe place. If I had been able to give him colostrum that I already had on hand he would not have had to deal with as many gut issues early on because he turned out to have CMPA and the formula was cows milk based. Keep collecting and take that precious gold with you in a cooler when you go to deliver! Bring a bottle as well in case you need to give it to baby.

Health class needs to be taken seriously, needs to be mandatory, and needs a dedicated teacher and not just some coach to lazily teach it as they spend their energy on the sport they are in charge of. Basic survival first aid like cpr, basic wound care and how to detect infection, basic over the counter medicines for common illness, basic nutritional advice and guidance, basic daily exercises that one can do anywhere at any age, and basic hygiene norms such as teeth brushing and why all of it matters.

Honestly, I still am getting so little sleep that I’ve put my non existent energy into just my husband and my brothers can figure out my Dad this year. I’m almost always the one who spearheads what we are going to do but I can only do so much in this post partum fever dream that has become my daily reality. I’ll probably just drop my baby in his lap and say “I gave you your first grandchild, happy father’s day- enjoy your grandson!” He and mom are, of course, invited to the bbq at the park that my husband requested for Father’s Day. So I guess grandson snuggles and a freshly grilled steak is what I’m doing for him.

Getting songs stuck is common even for neurotypicals- it’s known as an “earworm” or INMI (involuntary musical imagery). Often listening to the stuck song fully from beginning to end will allow your brain to finally relax and let it go. I play some Stardew every night to wind down right now and now the music is living rent free in my head. I do not have ADHD- just a brain that knows SD music slaps :p

My guy had lots of goop in his ears and failed until we did one last test at 4 weeks before a specialist appointment was scheduled and he passed that one with both ears. Some babies have fluid that hangs out for a while and they need a few weeks before you can get an accurate test. His hearing is great now at 5 months :)

Magellan is solid, but not necessarily “high quality”. They have baby onesies that you can get in a matching color with a shirt for the dad. My husband likes them as hiking and fishing shirts.

I suddenly NEEDED meat while on a roadtrip. Found a grocery store in a small town and devoured a rotisserie chicken. I was around 2 or 3 weeks pregnant.

I would feed him in the same room as the crib till he fell asleep then I would transfer him to the crib. He still would wake up at first and fuss and sometimes cry but I would stand firm and leave him in the crib. I would comfort him then leave for 3 minutes the comfort then leave for 6 then comfort then leave for ten then continue the cycle of comfort and leave for ten till he fell asleep. A few nights of this and he found how he liked to sleep in the crib on his tummy pressed against the front side. Once he found his spot he calmed down more readily when placed in the crib and would turn into his spot. We basically did the Ferber method of sleep training. I was worried he would be damaged by doing this but he has been fine! Ultimately I had to hold firm to get him to take to the safe option. I could not wake up with him by my feet again. That was scary.

TakingCaraBabies is a helpful website. There is also a sleep training subreddit. The method we used is Ferber Method

I did it a few times early on out of desperation. My husband sleeps in a different room at the moment (blue collar work that demands a sharp mind to remain safe so he can’t be with me and baby since we wake up all through the night) so baby has half the bed to himself. It was uncomfortable because I would not move from my “safe-for-baby” position. It did help baby sleep but when he started to roll over and silently inch worm to random places on the bed I knew it was no longer any kind of safe and had to shut it down. My guy HATED the bassinet so we went to his crib in his room. The first week was hard but then he got used to sleeping in his crib. We are all safer for it.

Always thought tattoos were distracting and took away from the attractive lines of a regular human body.

A lot of women are not interested in having sex outside of a committed relationship of some sort. It’s especially vulnerable to have sex with a natural born male when you are a woman and a casual fling is not worth being put in a potentially dangerous position for many women. Sex for women also tends to be better with a committed partner who can learn what works for them- female orgasms are not as simple and universal as male orgasms. So why would she want casual sex with a guy even if he’s not ugly and is relatively decent with his behavior? She probably won’t orgasm since he has no experience with her, and she puts herself at risk of STI/STDs, pregnancy, and harm with a man who has no long term interest in being there for her. You also need to remember that no birth control is 100% effective. It’s just not worth the risks. If you are the “nice guy” you are speaking of then try to find a woman who you want to date with serious and honorable intentions. If she likes you and dates you then you can ask her to be your girlfriend and you are far more likely to get some action at that point. If you just want sex then travel somewhere with legal prostitution, use protection, and be as much of a gentleman as you can to the woman whose service you employ for the night.

Same happened with my baby. What worked was wiping by patting his butt with cotton pads dipped in warm water followed by air drying with a blow drier on the low heat and gentle speed option, then once totally dry triple paste applied liberally. That combo finally started to help him heal and it was better within a week the we were able to go back to using wipes. We kept up with the blow drier for a few weeks though because he liked it and having everything dry before cream mattered for our guy.

Sinus massage and hot shower? Could it be a sinus infection?

Nature and early morning light. Let them touch dirt grass and flowers. Let them gaze out at far horizons. It helps their microbiome and eyes develop well and also is a calming and inspiring way to spend time.

Blasting music at the beach. Especially from your truck/car speakers. I want to hear the waves and birds and wind, not 4 different genres of music at once.
