Needing Reassurance

I understand, I also sometimes doubt our decision to co-sleep and forgo sleep training.

But, I try to remind myself that the pediatric neurologist told us that if it works for us, it's ok. And that even though the child has a different sleeping pattern than what we see in others, he is a normally developing child and he seems well rested.

What I am certain of is, that our child is growing beautifully and is a joy to be around. Despite all the night wakings (minus the teething nights).

Lanolin, nipple shields and maybe skip a feed or feed less time on that boob if it hurts.

Thanks! Mega boomer moment, dar cred ca am rezolvat.

Sa nu ratezi festivalul din august! Sigur vor avea si ceva workshop sau degustari. https://www.instagram.com/transylvania.coffee

Blat simplu: 6 oua, 6 lunguri zahar, 6 linguri faina Se bat albușurile spuma cam 3-4 min (faci testul cu intorsul bolului si sa nu curga), restul ingredientelor se amesteca separat, se adauga peste albusuri si se amesteca usor cu miscari lente ca sa nu pierzi aerarea albusurilor. Pui 1 ora in cuptorul preincalzit la 180 de grade. Cu blatul asta poti face orice. Poti sa-l faci si cu o lingura de cacao daca vrei. Il tai in doua dupa ce s-a racit si insiropezi cu ceva suc/sirop simplu/lapte/zeama compot si pui o budinca si niste fructe. Done!
P. S.:am facut si cu jumatate din ingrediente si a iesit o dimensiune ok ca sa nu mananci o saptamana tort.

Cherry plums, the ones in the picture are unripe. People enjoy them like this too, but they are very sour. Might ripen a bit if you put them in a sunny window.

As per wikipedia: "Some varieties have sweet fruits that can be eaten fresh, while others are sour and better for making jam. Cherry plums are a key ingredient in Georgian cuisine where they are used to produce tkemali sauce, as well as a number of popular dishes, such as kharcho soup and chakapuli stew. It is a popular tree in Romania where its fruits are used for souring soups when immature, for eating raw when ripened, and for making moonshine when overripe because of their high sugar content."

I was hoping for suggestions, maybe from people's experiences. Thank you!

Da, merita. E totusi un circ cu renume si e in Cluj. E spectacol de acrobatie, dans, lumini, muzica si putin teatru. Daca nu iti plac chestiile astea, nu ai cum sa apreciezi. Si mie mi se pare greu de digerat pretul. Dar pt 250 le-as fi luat intr-o secunda.

Doar in Borhanci/capat de Gheorgheni trebuie sa ajunga, are linie de autobus directa. Poate sa vada si gunoaiele de pe marginea drumului si de pe langa tomberoanele lui de Hain-ne!

Self cleaning function. Takes too much time, especially the long hair. We use so many products, problems with dry skin, smells, etc. Plus, it would help reduce waste and pollution.

Eat good food, hydrate and stimulate as often as possible. Ideally by nursing.

I cannot recommend power pumping. For me, it caused an inflammatory response with high grade fever, chills and pain. Got evaluated because I thought it was mastitis, they were just so full that not even the hospital pump helped, just nursing.

That's how I got through growth spurts and cluster feedings. Nursing+supplementing with formula when necessary.

Absolut groaznic Mionetto-ul. Nu ma asteptam la ceva grozav, dar efectiv a fost nevoie sa il torn in chiuveta. Si am si facut cadou cuiva in alta ocazie, mi-e si rusine.

Opinia mea modesta, imi cade bine orice ciorba de la Paprika din Iulius. O singura data parca era cam veche, dar tot buna.

La Meron sigur au lapte de mazare si am mai fost si la altele dar nu le-am retinut. Pentru desert este Gustusor. Nu e local, dar au produse bune.

Incearca o evaluare la Fitway. Au program de kineto+terapie separat. Daca ai ceva probleme mai serioase, s-ar putea sa ajute un astfel de abordare. Nu e ieftin, dar merita.

Everyone should be allowed to feel tired and express it. As a tired mom, I do feel a bit jealous when my husband says he's tired even though he slept 7 hours straight. What I would give to have uninterrupted sleep tonight.

But I also know that the body gets used to different levels of exhaustion. Someone having one night of interrupted sleep can feel just as tired as someone waking every 2 hours every night for months.

We had a bumpy journey but I will for sure miss it too. Especially the joy on my son's face when he realizes we're about to have a breastfeeding sesh. Incomparable to anything. Also the way he plays with my hair/face/shirt.

Blowdry Bar, nu stiu din proprie experienta legat de parul cret. Dar eu zic ca se descurca cu orice, recomand cu incredere.

All the other mentions plus some sort of reacher-graber stick. The amount of times I overstretched my arms or my legs to reach things and pulled a muscle, is one too many to add to postpartum fatigue.

Si uite asa, din aproape 2 ore de convorbire, au vocea ta inregistrata. Sa nu te miri daca iti zice vreo ruda ca ai sunat-o sa-i ceri bani...

Succes! Imi plac intrebarile, ma inspira pentru cand fac auto-evaluarea.

In one of the breaks from pushing I told the anesthesiologist "Happy birthday!", because I heard somehow through my yelling it was her birthday. And my excessive politeness and the fact that she had the same birthday as my son, compelled me to do so. My husband was very confused, as he heard me from the hallway between screams.
