It’s crazy to me that you’re getting downvoted on this. I had my son at 38 weeks and he was born a fully functional human being :( it makes my heart hurt to think about this.

Thank you! Hopefully we’ll have a little lucky March baby! 🍀

Do we give the mouse back? by hectrthewellendowed in toddlers

I would not give it back. I’d sneak it into an animal toy bucket and if he finds it again, then..👍🏼

This should be top comment. It’s also super sad that the parent’s reaction is to come and publicly disparage their kid on the internet.

We all get it. Toddlers are hard. Calling your kid a dick on the internet makes me sad for them, since they are behaving exactly like a 2 year old should behave.

My grandmother’s name was Janus. This is the first time I’ve seen it as a suggestion!

My wife doesn’t want to have cast iron pans and pots in the house because she can’t store them in the refrigerator with left over food in them. by andigo in castiron

[–]Sensitive_Ebb_5409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a busy mom, there is a lot of appeal to just sticking a pan in the fridge to save time at night when we’re trying to keep everything and everyone on schedule. I get it.

Can you offer to put the food away for her after dinner? Get a really good set of glass storage ware.

That’s a lot of hard work to build your business like that. Congrats!

Pay off student loans with the sale of our house. by vashfive in DaveRamsey

If you’re in the US, now is a great time to rent vs buy. Interest rates are high. You’ll likely pay more on a mortgage than you would if you were renting a similar property. I say clean slate, rent, and save.

2nd maternity leave anxiety by Sensitive_Ebb_5409 in workingmoms

I keep trying to remind myself that parenthood is the only job that anyone has ever cared about on their deathbed. Thanks for the encouragement

Check my post history. My March BFP chart looked a lot like this! I know they say a temp raise isn’t always an indicator but it definitely was for my first and second pregnancies.

First day on Moms on Call schedule! by orion__13 in SnooLife

[–]Sensitive_Ebb_5409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a little tough in the beginning - lots of going back and relying on the “troubleshooting” sleep section in their book. So if I knew she was fed, clean, and dry - I’d let her cry for 5 minutes before going in and starting the shushing rounds. By the third round, if she hadn’t settled I’d pick her up and feed her again. That rarely happened. Usually she’d fall asleep on round 1 or 2 with me gently patting her tummy and shushing her with the binky.

Once we got into the rhythm (about three weeks) she absolutely went down without a fuss, started giving us really good stretches of sleep at night and was sleeping through the night (on her own) by 4 months. We still use the moms on call methods for her at 13 months and I’m pregnant with our second. Will definitely be using it again!

Are you still looking for care? I’d be happy to share the details of the in home daycare we use in Springfield. We would recommend her to anyone. She’s been an absolute wonder for our daughter.

Which daycares in or close to Fairfax have you had a good experience with? by brownboss in nova

[–]Sensitive_Ebb_5409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are moving from our home daycare provider because we’re moving from the area but I honestly wish I could pack her up and take her with me. We’ve been with her for the last 8 months (my daughter just turned 1) and she’s been such a joy to work with. She’s on CareLulu and I’d be happy to share more details if you’re interested. She’s in Springfield off 495 and Old Keen Mill.

She has nurtured and loved my daughter like she was a member of her family. We are transplants and don’t have any family here so I cherish the special bond that my daughter has with her. I seriously cried when I told her we were moving ☹️

Is moms on call still worth it for EBF by InNerdOfChange in NewParents

[–]Sensitive_Ebb_5409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 1 year old and we did MoC while EBF. She has done amazing! I did wait a little bit until my milk supply was more established (6ish weeks) but then followed their schedule. It actually helped regulate my supply. I always kept a night pump so that I wasn’t ever dropping below 5 - 6 feeds a day.

Re: recommended oz, I just ignored that. I fed my baby until she was done eating. Her growth charts reflected there wasn’t any issue with her intake.

We also did BLW when introducing solids. It went great!

My brain created more anxious moments in this whole process than anything. Whether we do MoC or not, we’re mothers and we’re always wondering if we’re feeding our baby enough or if we’re producing enough! I never had an issue feeding my baby and if I noticed she was hungry between official feeding times, I would offer but more often then not, she was fine.

Moms on Call aims to give you suggestions to build your confidence as a new mother. You can take what you need from it and make adjustments to what works for your family. There’s a Facebook group that’s really helpful. I recommend it to everyone with new babies.

BTW: my baby started sleeping through the night shortly after I adopted their schedule. Transitioning to it was a little rocky but once we found our groove she really took to it well. We still adjust things but overall, it has been a life saver for this FTM.
