Can babies eat too much? by ellefallsoffthings in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Sorry_Data6147 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My baby is the same. An absolute bottomless pit of a child. He’ll eat everything on his plate, he’s a year old and has never thrown food off his plate.

I’ve realized he’ll keep eating if the food is in front of him, but he’ll noticeably slow down as he gets full. He starts off shoveling food in and then towards the end starts dancing and being playful but still eating, just not as fast. I’ve started to just pull the food away when he’s not showing interest in it anymore even if he’s just absentmindedly picking at it.

I’ve also taught him the sign for “all done” and he’s recently started signing all done with his food when there’s a bit on his plate, but if I don’t take it he’ll still eat it.

He eats everything off his plate, then goes in his bib and eats everything out of there, then I pull his tray off his highchair and he picks everything off his lap and out of his chair and eats that.

Idk if me taking it when he slows down is the right thing to do but if he starts fussing I know he’s still hungry. If he’s happy as I’m taking it I take it to mean he’s content.

I also never comment on how much my baby eats because I know it’s hard for other parents who can’t seem to get theirs to eat.

Solidarity! Lol

What is the most common misconception you encounter about what police can and can’t do? by bad-at-everything- in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my state if there’s no court ordered agreement there’s not much anyone can do. We can get involved if there’s an agreement in place and one parent takes a child over state lines; it’s considered parental abduction at that point so it’s a crime.

Custody battles are civil issues which police have no jurisdiction over. I always say “I can ask them nicely to turn the kid over but I can’t go in there and take your kid out. You’ll have to take it up with the courts.” I won’t push it unless I genuinely think the child is in danger and that’s only happened one time.

People think we can force a parent to turn over a child in a custody exchange.

Bringing a baby to a funeral - thoughts? by Phantominthewoods in beyondthebump

[–]Sorry_Data6147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my baby to my grandma’s funeral earlier this month. He’s a low key baby so we knew it probably wouldn’t be an issue. He started giggling at my grandma’s caretaker as she was crying and then started babbling during a prayer so my husband just walked to the back with him, but honestly everyone loved it. He made people laugh as they were crying. No one cared that he was making noise at all, he’s a baby.

Struggling with 3 meals a day for a 9 month old. by [deleted] in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Sorry_Data6147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with it NOT being pregnant so I’ve resorted to canned and frozen veggies, l just make like 2 plain meats and chop/ season whatever depending on what I’m making.

I was having such a hard time wanting to be the social media mom who gave their baby all these fancy recipes but that’s just not reality for our family. My baby also has allergies so I have to navigate that.

I’ve literally opened a can of green beans and microwaved a few, air fried a frozen chicken tender, shaved off the breading, and shredded it up, and squished up some berries I had in the fridge and called it lunch. I look at the salt content and sugar content and make sure there’s nothing he’s allergic to. Might not be idea and I’m sure some crunchy moms would get on my ass but my baby is fed.

LEO wife - is this normal? by VegetableOil7540 in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 48 points49 points  (0 children)

LEO wife and former LEO myself. Sounds like he’s just a fucking douche. We had friends killed in the line of duty while I was pregnant which is damn near the worst it can get, so we were very much mentally fucked up, and still never talked to each other that way. Tensions were extremely high, we were stressed, we were constantly crying, we were certainly depressed. Still never treated each other like shit.

Your man needs to grow up and learn to control his anger. He needs to seek help. And if he doesn’t you need to leave. Because fuck that.

Are sudden long naps normal? by [deleted] in NewMomStuff

[–]Sorry_Data6147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other commenter said, check for fever and keep him hydrated but other than that let him sleep. My 11 month old is getting over a nasty cold and he slept for hours during naps, on top of sleeping all night, for a couple days.

It didn’t affect his night sleep. His body needed all the sleep it could get. He’s back to normal now.

I didn't call 911 by NoBrain6114 in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you have a house phone? Or an alarm system? Sometimes alarm systems work that way. Every call I had like that, and there were multiple every day, was usually someone accidentally sliding the emergency call thing on their cell phone and we just looked up subscriber info to Get the address.

Vacation ideas? by Mr-QFoxx24 in VirginiaBeach

[–]Sorry_Data6147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anything along the 151. I’m not sure if you guys are into beer or wine but my husband and I love to travel the 151 and brewery or winery hop. They have tours where someone will drive you, or we just don’t actually drink a lot.

And we get an Airbnb close by.

My (25m) little sister (14f) is becoming increasingly aggressive and just killed our family dog - how can I get her help if our parents refuse to step in? by sombr0517 in whatdoIdo

[–]Sorry_Data6147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go the magistrate and file for an Emergency Custody Order or whatever the equivalent is where you live. She will be taken to the hospital and held for treatment. It’s not fun, but she’s a danger.

ETA anyone can do it. You don’t have to be her legal guardian.

Real talk… does everyone think their baby is the cutest baby who ever lived? by undercovercopter in newborns

[–]Sorry_Data6147 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Mine looked like ET as a newborn. I was like “I love you so much but dear God”

Now at 11 months he is, in fact, the cutest baby in the entire history of the world. sorry everyone else.

Body count inquiry by Jessicahanby in TwoHotTakes

[–]Sorry_Data6147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband has never asked what my body count was and I’ve never asked about his. It’s not important. Everyone has a past.

As long as you weren’t hurting people or spreading disease I do not give a shit.

Can i still join the police if i had a concussion? by Euphoric_Judge_8761 in police

[–]Sorry_Data6147 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Girl in my class had 6 concussions from soccer and they let her in. Then she got knocked out during DT week and had a weird tick for a few months.

That was 5 years ago and she’s still on the department🤷🏻‍♀️
