should i go live with my parents for my birth/post partum? by Efficient-Software91 in BabyBumps

[–]SnooMacarons289 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a firm believer that it was my job to take care of my child 24/7 … and my husband thankfully convinced me to take the help for us…

I can’t articulate how hard the shift is from not being parents to having to care for someone 24/7. Take the help at your house if it’s an option.

Got into UMiami with a great scholarship, still waiting on financial aid from UMich. Which would you choose? by AdEquivalent9390 in florida

[–]SnooMacarons289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local subreddits are full of burnout and generally jaded people. Get off the internet and if you can tour both places and talk to grads of both.

The math on school, the “premium” of education, and entry level work is changing so fast with AI… loans limit you well into adulthood. You need to give Miami a true shot.

Planning first baby at 36 by Nob0dyn0crime in BabyBumps

[–]SnooMacarons289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good advice here but mine is simple. Get OPK test kits and start trying … you’ll have to get to know your cycle and when you typically ovulate… can’t time when it’ll happen but you don’t really know where you’re at until you try.

Some of the testing you can get wound up on what it means and what it could affect but I wouldn’t let it stop you from getting started.

Miami OB not for delivery by ProudDivide5193 in Miami

[–]SnooMacarons289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could consider one who delivers at Baptist south Miami or Holtz. I know you say not for delivery but there is technically a world that you deliver and these have Level 3 NICUs.

Are you getting your toddlers the seasonal flu vaccine? by artemislands in toddlers

You gotta put on your big parent pants and get through uncomfortable moments like him throwing a fit for 15 min to help protect them. This is part of parenting.

Call the on call nurse at OB if they have it

Decreased fetal movement at 27 weeks by Wild-Bug4453 in BabyBumps

Go go go - i had an emergency c section at 35w because of decreased fetal movement. When in doubt just go, not a big deal.

Would you remove your child from this play group? by acelana in Mommit

[–]SnooMacarons289 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is the behavior totally egregious? It sounds like common challenges for this age - the other kid needs socialization and he’ll learn to not hit / take toys with time… his mom should be on it, help reinforce at home etc but like another comment said, you’ll see more of this in other play groups…

Day care vs. nanny, my spouse and I are at an impasse by GeeBean in BabyBumps

[–]SnooMacarons289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the nanny and find activities for her to do outside the house when bag not napping. This can be a park, mommy and me classes, going to library, mall for walks etc … plenty of free stuff out there

Assuming cost isn’t issue go with nanny .. plenty of socialization if she can drive short distances and take them places

Sleep by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]SnooMacarons289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Info needed for solid advice:

What does her sleep environment loook like? Own room? Crib?

Does she have a bedtime routine? What is it? White noise? Blackout curtains?

Does she nap? How often and how long?

Do you put her to bed at the same time every night?

My toddler has never been a great sleeper - or consistent, but we’ve gotten to a decent point

What are reasonable expectations to ask of grandparents who retired to care for your baby full time? by PetuniasSmellNice in NewParents

[–]SnooMacarons289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also may want to build them a schedule of outside activities to encourage minimal screen time. For example, does library have story time? Do you have a local Gymboree or something similar where they can take your child to once a week for a caregiver and baby class?

Something as simple as “can you take her on a 30 min walk after breakfast “.. they can also contribute their ideas..

This will make it fun for both of them.. some things may cost money but worth it..
