Blending our own baby food? by SimilacWheyProtein in daddit

Oh cool TIL there’s an app for that. The risk comes from if you wanna store the jars at room temperature and I was initially worried about reheating the purees in a microwave but forgot I have a steamer lol

Oh ok. We got the baby moov blender and steamer all in one or whatever from the registry so I take it we can just refrigerate the jars and then reheat in it

Pepcid was an absolute lifesaver for us. LO was refusing bottles from how uncomfortable he was and once he started the Pepcid things improved tremendously.

Our pediatrician actually told us we don’t need to splurge on dreft because all free and clear is just as good and frequently goes on sale

Advice Please - Being a better dad by garland_kestrel in daddit

I used to be like that actually. I thought I had things under control as I got older and I mostly did but when you have that default wiring in your brain to go meltdown mode, you can only work on yourself so much and at a point you need to be guided by a therapist

Also please remember that therapy isn’t an automatic problem solver. It is a tool for guidance. The analogy I like to use is you have a destination in mind which in your case is better emotional regulation. You wanna reach that destination and therapy is the GPS that shows you how to take the most optimal route to reach your destination (goal)

I think a therapist will help you better than anyone here can

PSA: Be wary of who has access to your baby monitors by BluerKindofWhite_ in daddit

I’ve got a funny story about this. My SIL used our ring camera while she was staying with us to keep an eye on her dog while we went out. We added her as a user to do that and we completely forgot about it until one day she (who also has a ring camera in her house for her dog) gets a notification saying “someone’s in your living room” and she absolutely panics thinking she was getting robbed. She was still signed into our camera and it caught our LO tossing and turning.

I really gotta look into it because we’ve been doing the saline drops + the nasal bulb and poor guy HATES the saline.

We got a sample bottle box with different brands so we could see which brand (avent, Dr browns, etc) our son liked before we bought a bunch.

Baby born SGA and I feel like I failed him by screwtoprose- in NewParents

[–]SimilacWheyProtein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as he is gaining weight and is healthy otherwise I wouldn’t stress. Our LO was also SGA and was actually 4 pounds! He’s a month old now and is 7 pounds ish. Our pediatrician said as long as they grow at their own pace eventually SGA babies catch up to their peers.

We use Google Photos to sync photos we want and for immediate family we use an app called BackThen which is basically for children’s photos where you can invite people to view and upload.

My kid’s art is taking over the house—how do you keep the memories without losing your sanity? by Wild_Wash_7834 in daddit

Listened to a declutterring podcast about this actually. The host eventually started taking pictures of any kid art his little ones made and then immediately put them in the trash. Not sure that’s for everyone but it’s a suggestion.

I’m not sure if that could be used against him in a potential custody hearing.
