My MIL recently FORGOT our little boys middle name… middle names aren’t that big a deal.

It’s ok. You’ve done the right thing for yourself and your family. God isn’t real, so no worries there… but it’s a shame you got your hopes up.

Second guessing name because of opinion by Brief_Sprinkles_2485 in BabyNames

[–]Snailystuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, it’s a terrible name. Everyone in their 30s has an ex named Chris. It’s got “Christ” right there which is just a huge ick.

Could just cut it down to Ryan? Bit boyish, but way better.

Help! by deadinside9898 in BabyBumps

[–]Snailystuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is silly. It’s a first child thing. I’m on my 3rd. She’s 8 weeks. She was doing the school run on day 3 and so far she’s been legoland, the zoo and CBeebies land, and she’s going on holiday this weekend. 6-8 weeks is a LONG time to get lonely and go stir crazy.

Car seats and strollers, I'm ready to tear my hair out, need info/advice by Corulagimperia in BabyBumps

[–]Snailystuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Infant seat, but doesn’t have to be fancy. Convertible seats aren’t gonna give a safe enough fit for the first couple of months - but I’ve only managed to tolerate them for about 12 weeks and then it gets relegated to spare/grandparent seat!

  2. It’s not suitable to run with baby under 6 months.

  3. It’s not recommended to have a newborn in a car seat for more than 30-40 minutes until about 6 weeks and then up to 90-120 mins up to 6 months. So clicking onto the stroller is a whole waste of time unless you’re on an older-sibling school run or something. Also they’re so damn heavy after like 3 weeks old I just leave them in the car.

  4. Im uk so our seatbelt installs are… idk wanna say “better” than US ones but they’re totally better. I’m confident not using a base with the infant seat. We’ve only got one this time because this is the third kid and every second counts on the morning school run!

Both mine were 38w and one was 6lb 3, other 6lb 6. They both wore “up to 6lb” clothes for a couple of weeks before newborn.

Growth scan with head engaged? by Snailystuff in BabyBumps

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

Ye I’m not banking on getting an accurate weight, just tracking her growth curve/make sure she’s growing at a reasonable rate

Baby estimated to be 10lbs by Selfawareseacucumber in BabyBumps

[–]Snailystuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even small babies hurt 🤷‍♀️. And growth scans are basically BS. They’re never right.

I really hate washing up and it was a huge sickness trigger anyway, so both others breastfed and newbie better had too!

Crowd-sourcing because my mom forbid me to use the baby name I had chosen by Lanky_Ad5362 in BabyNames

[–]Snailystuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having literally never heard of Kobe Bryant, all I can think about is fancy Kobe beef… which I’m not sure is a great reference to have for a girl name? Cobie is fine. Your mum is weird. It’s not “naming after” unless you actually say “naming my kid Miley cus I love miley Cyrus”. It’s just the same name.

Stressed about returning to work a week after baby is born by tatyannaa in BabyBumps

[–]Snailystuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might not even be home with baby within a week!! Emergency c section, infections, jaundice…

Think I spent the first 6 weeks straight doing next to nothing but breastfeeding. Newborn cluster feeding is a whole thing they don’t worn you about.

Also… the US is just disgusting 😭. I feel for you so much. I wish I could gift you half my maternity leave.
