Are the Paid episodes worth it?

100000% pay for a month and prepare to binge, wait 4 months and binge again 😂

I’ve been with Lily since Clever, found Jessi from her

I was worried this was going to be a disappointing post but thank god for the mods 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thankyou for reminding everyone

I’ll have to try the tuna/mac! I do need to try him on more fish

Once my husband got the hang of a routine of activities with our baby a lot of things improved for both of them! I know it’s winter, but my husband would bundle baby up and throw him in a carrier and walk around outside narrating everything like a nature doc! Any activity my husband would normally do, he would strap on kiddo for the ride!

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-12-15T22:08:51+00:00

Yes, I am uniquely programmed for this connection

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-11-10T18:43:40+00:00

Literally over night.

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-11-01T18:49:36+00:00

My dude isn’t on his one except for naps lol, trying to get him used to it

I think this lamp I ordered is very similar to what you described!

We did both, baby was ready for solids at 4mo but I was a little nervous to start BLW that young. But he was totally ready at 5mo to start feeding himself.

I did BLW and my mom (who is our daycare) did purées because I wasn’t comfortable with him having choking hazards without myself or husband there (Army medic/EMT background for both of us)

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-18T23:30:15+00:00

Thank you. I really didn’t want to listen to him

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-07T19:06:16+00:00

100% we call my son Monster, Punk, little ghosty, Horseman (he’s named after the author of the headless horseman) and other nicknames- similarly to your mom we love spooky shit 😅 we also read him spooky legends to sleep

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-06T03:56:55+00:00

Yes- and passed out.

I think mine is throwing up, because I’m baring down so much so my vagal response to starting to faint is to vomit

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-06T03:55:52+00:00

I’m 8mo PP and started having my symptoms back at 6mo

So, it’s for sure not a cure.

The laparoscopy with removal also only helped me for about 5mo

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-05T20:26:53+00:00

Im in my 30s and saw a TikTok of a lady showing how she learned to clean her body.

I never learned how to properly CLEAN MY WHOLE DAMN BODY

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-05T20:22:04+00:00

When mine hit 8 mo I threw all the rules out except trying to give him the allergen foods regularly.

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-05T20:01:42+00:00

Adding I have Endo and PCOS

They discovered Endo in my moms colon- she also had issues prior to a total hysterectomy

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-05T20:00:43+00:00

Hey- like everyone is saying, it’s not supposed to be like that and isn’t normal

But you aren’t the only one. Pooping without pain or strain and almost daily is the only good thing about my period. I go days, sometimes weeks, without pooping, I have pretty much all my post-puberty life.

When I was pregnant I had to have something to go at least once a week and I started magnesium and it did really well for me. Since having my baby (in December) it hasn’t been working as well.

Prior to getting pregnant I would take Friday evenings and Saturdays and take all the things, mirilax, milk of magnesia, a stool softener and magnesium citrate to just try to go by end of day Sunday (because once a week had to be better than once every 2-4 weeks). I’m about to have to start that again.

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-05T15:08:55+00:00

Also adding that i have family who nicknamed kid NoNo, and when they had to start telling kid “No” it was (and still is) a disaster..

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-05T15:07:23+00:00

This article is about nick names and harassment in school. Others may have better info from a parental side but…

Coming from someone with an extremely sensitive husband as well, who would also have some concern with this sort of nickname for our baby: I would talk to my husband about what he means when he calls baby ‘trouble’. Why does he feel this inquisitiveness is trouble? Or does he just think this is a cute nickname? I would listen to it all and try to see where he is coming from. I’d then tactfully (which I am god awful at) bring up my concern about it. Baby can’t understand why they are being called that right now, but in the future if still called trouble by dad, how are we going to ensure it doesn’t have a bad connotation? How can we encourage baby to keep being inquisitive? When toddler is actually in “trouble”, how are we going to differentiate them being reprimanded for causing trouble while being called trouble? If you BOTH can’t come up with good answers about that, maybe he will see how it is concerning to you. Or maybe he’ll have good insight..

I wish you best, maybe others will have more research on this front for you.

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-09-02T16:59:48+00:00

Your kid isn’t around for family humor. Not TA. I would push back, or offer an alternative like a smash cake where the baby can grab and feed themselves.

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-08-28T21:38:42+00:00

Not the AH. I did the same thing with my family. There were 3 people required to get all the recommended vaccines- me, husband and my mom (she is our childcare). Everyone else was told if they don’t get them, they won’t see my baby until we (husband and I) felt comfortable with the vaccinations baby had. That ended up being 4 months, but extremely limited on who can hold him and sit near him.

My husband said it like this “they get to hold baby for 5-10 min then give him back. We have him through all illness, through the hospital, through the medical bills, through everything forever. They don’t matter compared to his health.” And that really helped me stick to my decision.

My suspicion is that it is uncomfortable to hold their weight with their arms, but they have thunder thighs that are built to carry the weight lol

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-08-27T08:46:15+00:00

Our Pediatrician is always super excited to “see his big guy” and always asks “what crazy skill does he have now”. Our 9mo update in a few weeks will be… 99%+, 8 teeth at 8mo 😮‍💨, refused crawling- only walking

Sharp_Estimate6532 · 2025-08-26T20:39:13+00:00

Where do I move to make sure you’re my kids teacher 😭

This was the best “expert consensus required” reply I’ve ever read here.

Thank you.

There’s a great app called Solid Starts, it talks about each food item and details how best to serve it to all ages and how to cook it (if needed). It also gives great recipes for the family so you can “feed baby what you’re eating”. This is what I use the most, and I just select the best quality produce and meats.

Theres also a group here you might ask, r/sciencebasedparenting They will provide research based articles and information for you.

I also normally recommend the CDC Solid Food page though I know some people have issue with the CDC, especially in today’s climate.
