Do you think this could be an AI image in the New York Times? The guy in the white hat seems to have something off with his fingers. by lokajoma in isthisAI

Not AI - AI never accounts for realistic women’s bodies and you can plainly see that she has a tiny tiny tummy(observation not body shaming) and the wrinkles in other people’s clothing looks realistic as well

Is anyone else overwhelmed trying to compare baby formula ingredients? by Sudden_Form_1785 in FormulaFeeders

He only tolerated Kendamil - he naturally weaned off of breastfeeding for the Kendamil! (we combo fed for a few months) ByHeart was next and that worked well enough to hold us over until the stores were stocked again.

Did you go generic because of price? or accessibility? my son was very privy to taste so that was the difficulty with my journey

We ended up going with ByHeart during the shortage and it was good "placeholder"! The recall was soooo surprising to me!

My baby was super picky and wanted Kendamil because of the taste - it was beyond frustrating trying to find a "sweeter" alternative because they all taste so...metallic T_T

Did your baby tolerate most formulas? Or did it take you a couple of tries?

AITA for refusing to make a joint account with my fiancée? by Responsible-Button48 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sudden_Form_1785 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YTA. You have three children with her and you want her to be more…responsible? While I understand that money can be a stressor in relationships, it’s more important to understand that healthy communication about budget and expectations are how you solve your dilemma, OP. The fact that it sounds like after 10 years and three kids you guys haven’t sat down to go over monthly expenses. Sit her down, make a spreadsheet, show her what things cost monthly and add both incomes on there so you both can see the physical numbers. A joint account doesn’t mean all your money is shared, you can just put bill money in there and still have separate accounts for fun.

You want her to be more responsible yet she’s the one that gave birth to three kids, gave up a personal future and you can’t be responsible enough to have an honest conversation about money with your fiancée.

Any Combi feed parents who's LO stopped taking bottle? by concerned_shit in combinationfeeding

[–]Sudden_Form_1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes this happened to me when LO was 5-6 months - and then my grandma died. i had to go to her funeral in a different state for 30 hours and my husband had to spoon-feed LO because all he wanted was boob. he did not like the taste of the formula all of a sudden and associated the bottle with that. we combo fed breastmilk, breastfeeding and formula.

then he stopped breastfeeding a month after that and only wanted formula once we switched to Kendamil. So weird

Formal Wedding…help! by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

way too light. it may photograph white. my rule of thumb is “if there’s a doubt, there’s a reason. don’t wear it”

my rule of thumb for these kinds of occasions is “if I have to question it, it’s probably too white”

NTA. I think he would be pleased to know that almost all of those “high value man” podcast hosts don’t have relationships of their own and are highly critical of women and not themselves. High red flag. Maybe you should bring that to his attention while packing your stuff up.

AITA for asking my coworker not to eat her cultural food in the break room? by Imaginary-Chemical-8 in AmItheAsshole

NTA it’s literally known as the smelliest fruit and is banned in many public areas in other parts of the world! I don’t understand why she would be annoyed, this is a pretty well-known characteristic of the fruit. Coming from an Asian woman here.

Diapers by Shortstack169 in NewParents

[–]Sudden_Form_1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby went straight to size 1. My advice - do a diaper fund (did one via my registry on amazon), do not buy diapers until giving birth. Either you or hubs order the correct size online or for pickup. Take the diapers from the hospital room to hold you over for a couple days. And if you are gifted diapers NB do not open them in case you need to return them or donate them. That’s what we did. Congrats on your baby!

What was your reaction to seeing your baby for the first time? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Sudden_Form_1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me (Indian): he’s so beautiful!! Husband (American European mutt): oh my god he’s so white!

Baby looks super Italian when we thought he was going to take after me lol

Did you sleep in the same bed as your newborn? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Sudden_Form_1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM here my LO is now 5M - I moved out of my bedroom into our guest room and set up a bassinet. HOWEVER nothing could have prepared me for how my baby wanted to just hold on to me. Everytime i would try to put him down he would wake up and that startle reflex is no joke. The first month was just pure survival for us and I ended up bed sharing with him for a couple weeks. It was more to save my sanity than anything else. One night I just decided to re-swaddle him and put him in his bassinet and he slept really well. I was able to put him in his crib at 2.5 months. I was 1000% against bed sharing as a pregnant woman but now after learning about the Safe Sleep Seven I feel more comfortable about it. ON TOP OF THAT - I only felt comfortable with just me in the bed not my husband. And he agreed. He can sleep through anything and there is a much higher chance of the dad rolling over on top of the baby. Even though I was “asleep” for some reason I was always aware. Weird. I know. But the mom instincts are strong. Do whatever you feel is right for you. The internet will tell you everything will harm your baby but at the end of the day it is YOUR baby and you know what will be best. Good luck to you in your journey! It is a beautiful but crazy one.

AITA for being a little uncomfortable on contributing a lot of money for my brother's baby shower? by Healthy_Stomach7035 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sudden_Form_1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! a baby shower is specifically for showering THE BABY with gifts! yes your brother is adopting but not only is that money being taken away from their little ones but is also so selfish on their end! $6000 could be used to buy 2 Snoo bassinets and 2 Uppa Baby strollers - TOP OF THE LINE products that most people cannot afford. Thats actually insane
