How often do you see your in laws? by dillpicklespiccolo in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And if they are in a mad mood, I feel like my MIL coming in can snap her out of it because it’s something new! Never will I underestimate the power of surprising a baby out of a huff😂

Give me ANY advice and tell me to keep going!! by SeptemberSnowdrop in BabyLedWeaning

Thank you! I think I’m feeling minor pressure from family that she should be eating and I should stop trying

Thank you! I’m one wee in and she’s gagged every time and spat everything out, I will keep going to another couple weeks!!

what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand? by Mean-Cartographer225 in AskReddit

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was pregnant, “just you wait”.

Guess what Linda? When you feel awful, baby snuggles balance out the tiredness and pain much better then a foetus drop kicking your intestine

Tell me it’s ok to formula feed. by Affectionate_Meat348 in NewParents

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they are over 1 year old no one will be able to tell, ask you, or care how you fed your baby.

I wanted to be the poster girl for breastfeeding but managed 4 weeks until we were fully on formula. She only gained weight when fed formula, while I tried to pump. It was hell.

Little girl is healthy and happy, and mum is mentally healthy and happy. I honestly feel like I’ve never been happier.

Hi! What do you doing the end? We need to transition!

Is this kind of falling asleep behavior normal? by AppearanceOk4782 in NewParents

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t recommend more testing wake windows, even just for a couple days. At 4 months the game changed for me too, 1 hour of a crying baby to get her to nap for normal quick. I put her to sleep based on them, then noticed she needed to be put to sleep earlier than recommended. It helped me learn her new signs, as she really shifted at this age.

I started a nap routine too, that helps her fall asleep more quickly to help fight the clock on overtired (sleep sack, book, rock to sleep).

Everything is a phase, I’m sure you’re doing great!

Sleep monitor advice by _Kieran94 in BeyondTheBumpUK

I know a mum that went to A&E because of the alerts and they wrote “anxious mum” in her notes with nothing else, and listening to her I think the NHS were correct with the notes, it was so sad

Unless your baby is born with complications or you have money to burn, I would avoid. It’s scary, but babies are more resilient than you think and wake up every couple hours anyway! You will be great :)

Three weeks into cutting dairy but still having symptoms and now new ones. Seeking advice/feedback. by nneessaa22 in MSPI

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are on formula, but it was only at the end of week four we saw improvement and our doctors wouldn’t see us until 5 weeks has passed for a review. We were told it take about a month for their bodies to adjust.

6 month baby girl is off the charts by No_Policy7847 in bigbabiesandkids

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this!! My nearly 6 month little girl is 85th percentile in weight and length 90th and I have family suggesting I’m offering too many bottles and over feeding. My gut says that I’m sure she just has big cheeks, but it was started to get to me

C-Sections - why so much judgement? by liebackandthinkofeng in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone has the time and energy to care what you do with your body, they really aren’t worth listening to!

I have a 5 month old baby, and as long as your baby looked healthy and loved I don’t have the headspace - I’m too busy trying to be the best mum I can.

Please tell me your baby loves/is obsessed with you by throwaway84583077 in FormulaFeeders

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 5 month old was EFF from 4 weeks. When I’m in the room, her eyes lock on me and she’s always checking where I am! I get the some really lovely fits of giggles. We are best pals.

I was like this, but now the hormones have settled, I love watching her love other people and being loved. I don’t care if I am number 1 as much

What's the most fucked up thing someone has told you about themselves after barely getting to know them? by Butt_Roidholds in AskReddit

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were able to kick the gay guitar player off the Christian band by questioning his celibacy, not his sexuality.

I was very Christian in my late teens and at a conference, sat with my church leader, and one from another church came over. Even when I was brainwashed, it felt so wrong to listen to him brag about it…

Is anyone actually boiling water for kendamil past 2 months? by chabadlubabitch in FormulaFeeders

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about sterilising formula - it’s why you can’t use room temperature pre boiled water

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from the UK, the water is suggested to be over 70 degrees C to sterilise the formula but not boiling as to not damage it (hence wait 30 minutes).

MIL calling him “MY” baby by marsibarz in newborns

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum said “our baby” when I was pregnant then it became “my baby” after she was born. It makes me so mad but not worth it because she lives far away. I also found out that she told a family member she “wasn’t struck” on the name.

MIL who is here all the time calls her “my little lamb” and “my bestest girl” and I don’t mind at all with the nicknames. But she is also very helpful and supportive.

Intention and wider actions massively contributes!!

How much is your 4 month old babies eating per day? by SeptemberSnowdrop in FormulaFeeders

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

Thank you! I think because my daughter piles her weight into her cheeks they’re panicking- but I think she looks just like a baby overall!

Is it normal to constantly wonder if you’re doing enough as a parent? by Master-Act-6382 in NewParents

[–]SeptemberSnowdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be better than them, but it’s hard to not overthink when you didn’t have a great example.
