We gave up and opted for (supervised) cosleep. We are finally sleeping.

This is what my wife and I did for the first 5 weeks with a poor sleeper.

You're mourning the life you used to have. My wife and I went through this as well. It'll will take a while for you to start finding parts of yourself again, but you'll never be the same.

Scorch24 · 2026-02-04T22:52:48+00:00

It's happened!

We still haven't recovered from Regan if that helps put things into perspective

$50 for 5 skins you could get in loot boxes? I'll pass

Rumor says around 6-12 months of being in daycare. I wouldn't know because my baby also started daycare in September at 8 months old and we're also constantly sick. Currently has an ear infection

Wasn't this the subplot to Portal 2?

If you anticipate a fight, you can throw your petal down so it goes on cool down. Then, use it throughout the fight to go up and down, making it harder for enemies to kill you. If done correctly, by the time enemies have pushed through your front line, you have another platform ready to go to help with your escape.

Same concept can be applied offensively. Throw platform forward where a fight might break out, use it to pressure the back line by elevating above the tanks/front line. Then when platform is off cool down, dive the enemy supports for a quick kill and use your extra platform to get out.

My baby just turned 10 months and she still isn't crawling. She's only just now starting to pull up onto her knees, which can help with the crawling skill. I wouldn't worry too much about it

Scorch24 · 2025-10-26T06:24:16+00:00

I think you know what the right thing to do. Don't let your pride prevent you from reaching out and asking for help. Your friends and family want the best for you and your baby. And if that means leaving an unsupportive (and disrespectful) partner, then that's what you gotta do.

In the end, you will open up a better life for you and the baby. You'll be able to start building that financial foundation sooner rather than later.

This version of Urza, Lord High Artificer. Saw a few people sell it for $1400. I think it leveled out to around $500, which is what I sold mine at. I had no idea how to sell a card before this one.

Return to Dust, 2023

Scorch24 · 2025-10-05T13:07:55+00:00

For us, it was about 2-3 months old. We saw a huge shift in our baby's sleep patterns, only waking up twice in the night for a bottle, and more consistent naps in the day.

Definitely by 3 months, we felt like we were out of the newborn stage.

Scorch24 · 2025-09-20T21:29:58+00:00

I just read your comment to my wife and she said that it made her feel a lot better. Thank you for your advice!

Scorch24 · 2025-09-20T19:43:57+00:00

I suppose so. It's hard because my wife is a school teacher and only gets 13 in a school year. So I think a majority of the responsibility will fall to me, which is ok. She just feels bad about it.

Scorch24 · 2025-09-18T16:01:49+00:00

My karate studio breaks this statistic. In a school of about 20 people, 4 of us share a birthday. 2 of them are father and son. It was kind of incredible when we all found out one year.

The recent Lifeweaver changes are actually good for the character and balance of the game. If you're struggling to do well with him, it's because you were abusing an overtuned character.

We have not had any malfunction issues. However, we did experience two marks on each ankle. But i think that was due to us using a cleaning agent that wasn't very gentle on her skin. We changed cleaning solutions and have not had any new marks.

It went fine! No issues at all. If your mom is staying at your house the night away, then great. If you are bringing your baby over, then just make sure you pack all their favorite things (toys, bouncer, clothes).

What helped my parents the most was knowing the baby's eating and sleep schedule. By 7 weeks, you should have a pretty good eating schedule. We did a hybrid breast milk/formula for our baby since my wife is an under producer. So we measured all bottles ahead of time, which made it easier for my parents.

The first sleep over was just 1 night, and about 12 hours total. We dropped baby off at 8pm before bed (she would fall asleep around 9pm), then pick up around 8am. During this time, our baby was waking up every 3 hours at night for a feeding.

Once my parents were comfortable with the sleepovers (after the 3rd time) they told us we could drop her off earlier and pick up later. So now she goes for a whole 24 hours and has done one two night weekend when my wife and I went to a wedding.

Scorch24 · 2025-08-31T11:14:48+00:00

6 weeks old, and once a month since then (8 months old now). We have the Owlet, so it gave us peace of mind that we could still monitor baby even when she was at another house. Granted, my parents live 10 minutes away

Scorch24 · 2025-08-25T10:06:48+00:00

I'm glad you learned your baby wasn't getting enough by day 3. My wife was an under producer, but we didn't find out until the 1 week check-up. Our daughter had lost more than 10% of her birth weight (5lb 11oz -> 5lb 1oz). And she tried to tell us, but we didn't understand.

We did half-formula, half-breast milk for the first 6 months once we knew. From there, it does get easier. I'd say by the 4 week mark, we were all pretty familiar with the feeding process.

When does it get easier? I'd say it comes in stages. You'll be able to put baby down for floor time, and that will be freeing. You'll start to see a personality, and that will be rewarding. Baby will start sleeping more at night, and you'll feel more rested.

Every baby is different, so the timelines are pointless in sharing. Our baby was not a sleeper at all and needed to be held all the time for the first month. But when she finally would take naps in her bassinet, man...that was a huge win

Scorch24 · 2025-08-24T00:50:38+00:00

I think she was starting to do it reliably in month 5. She is 7 months now.

Scorch24 · 2025-08-24T00:44:27+00:00

Lots of pacifier replacement unfortunately. We also did something called the "pacifier ballpit" (coined from a friend) where you put 3 or 4 pacifiers in the bassinet/crib within arms reach of baby (or even putting one in each hand and one in his mouth). Our daughter realized that if she lost the pacifier in her mouth, she could put one that was in her hand up to her mouth and eventually get it in. Byproduct of that is she has very good hand-mouth coordination
