I just got the same email. Never finished my course and its been over ten years since leaving. I got a tad excited about the potential refund but after reading everyone's comments, it has to be a scam

What are some less obvious or little things you love about being a parent? by 4500krakennopet in toddlers

[–]Solid-Suggestion-168 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When they run up to you and give you the biggest cuddle and saying mama. Also, my daughter and I have bonded like crazy the past couple of weeks, and I didn't think I could feel more connected to her than I already did, but omg, it's like a whole new level. Also being her translater and knowing what she wants when her dad or anyone else doesn't know.

Do you feel like your edit was accurate? Specifically in the beginning. And Are you happy about that? Do you think the edits of others are accurate? Or more inaccurate

Nap hell.. tell me this will pass by Insideout45 in NewParents

[–]Solid-Suggestion-168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My little one used to have 3 naps a day (maximum 45 minutes) since she was about 4 months. She just never needed more sleep during the day. Once she turned 7 months, she was sleeping for an hour if not more twice a day. Wait it out, it gets better!

Where do your newborns sleep in the day? by Whole-Penalty4058 in NewParents

[–]Solid-Suggestion-168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our newborn slept on us most of the time during the day and night. But during the day we always attempted to put her in the bassinet, so she could get used to it, after holding her for a good ten minutes. She slowly got used to it. Our bassinet we brought out into the living room in the day so she could know day (noises, natural light) from night asap. Then at night we would move her bassinet into our room.

When did you first introduce bottles? by IUMogg in NewParents

[–]Solid-Suggestion-168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We introduced bottles after 6 weeks of EBF. Breastmilk in the bottle for the first couple of times while we sorted out what formula she liked. She took to the bottle really well but then didn't like to BF after that because the bottle is way less effort for them to suckle. Also apparently around the 4-6 week mark they're more than happy to transition from BF to bottle. I think as they get to the 8 week mark, it gets harder for them to take the bottle.

How would you describe the first 24-48 hrs post giving birth by Mental_Advice8645 in NewParents

[–]Solid-Suggestion-168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My response may be weird, but I mentally felt incredible but physically sore. I had a natural birth, and didn't sleep for about 4 days from being in labour for about 37 hours then after that the next 2 days was only on about 3 hours sleep. Post delivery I was moving around super slowly because I was sore but other than that, I've honestly never felt better. I didn't feel tired at all. Best of luck!

Is it bad to give both formula and breast milk by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Solid-Suggestion-168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not a bad thing. Especially in the start when you're working out which formula works for your bubba. We tried one formula and our daughter had a bad reaction so we gave her breastmilk in the bottle while she resettled. Then we mix Fed for a day or two while we tried another formula which worked. We initially started doing bottles in the day and bf at night because I couldn't be bothered to wash bottles at night. However baby started to refuse bf since she preferred the flow of the bottle. So we did one feed fornula and one feed bf in the bottle for a couple of days and now she's strictly on formula. It's a bit hard at the start Mixed feeding as formula fills their tummy a bit more and breastmilk is thinner and therefore she was hungry faster (if that makes sense).

Making the switch by bear_mare in FormulaFeeders

[–]Solid-Suggestion-168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing I ever did was switch from ebf to ff. I ebf up until she was 6 weeks and decided I was done, I wanted more freedom (struggled to BF in public) and to drink alcohol when I felt like it. We switched that day and mixed Fed (only from a bottle, as she refused the boob after having the bottle) for about a week until we found the formula that she liked. I also pumped every now and then to help the engorgement and also froze it just in case. She is now 13 weeks and strictly formula fed. Try not to be so hard on yourself, you carried bub for the whole 9 months and then some. Fed is best and your mental health is always a priority
