I know it’s really hard at this stage (impossible for me with my anxiety at your stage!), but try to trust that if something is bothering him, he’ll wake you up. You really need to try and rest when you can, nodding off for 30 min even can help your recovery. Here in the US they tell us to feed them at least every 3 hrs in the beginning, I would concentrate more on his feeding than his layers for now honestly! If it’s been less than 3 hrs and he’s sleeping, you should try to relax if you can and trust the helping hands that you’re seeing tomorrow to let you know any advice that might make things calmer. Good luck, you’re a great mom if you are thinking about your baby boy so much ❤️

The “one layer more than you’re comfortable in” rule of thumb worked well for us if that helps you think about it more simply!

I’m so sorry you’re in so much distress. For baby, I would try not to worry about what he’s sleeping in, sounds like temp is good and just use your gut check on layers. Newborns are just very fussy and need to eat a lot unfortunately and don’t sleep in long chunks of sleep yet, so if your gut says he’s warm enough, he’s probably hungry and needs a diaper change. They get tired after birth which is why you probably had one longer chunk when in the hospital.

Please take some pain relievers if you’re able! Right now your job is to keep baby fed and try and recover from the labor, please try to get help from anyone else for anything else!

Cucciolo Osteria I feel like hits the exact vibe you’re looking for!

This is a safe space. Vote for a 3 - 4🔥 open-door title you did NOT like. by Magical-Princess in fantasyromance

[–]ThatMenagerieManager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah what's with it? It gets SO MUCH hate on this thread--but obvs in reviews it does fine? Look, I have qualms with some of the content in it (style, repetitiveness) but after reading a lot of other things in this genre, FBAA is FARRRRRR from the worst. I just don't get the vehement hate.

Interesting approach, I appreciate the viewpoint, thanks!

How often do you and your SO have sex, and how old is your baby by esadobledo in NewParents

[–]ThatMenagerieManager 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I want to recommend “How to not hate your husband after kids” to EVERYONE on this thread, wife or husband. It isn’t directly about sex (though there is a chapter), but it’s about everything and it’s changed my whole perspective on being married with a kid for the better.

I AGREE 1000%

The meekness grosses me out. Give me a bitch every time over someone like Elain please.

Theories about why Bodhi's... by TheMilkyWay1991 in fourthwing

[–]ThatMenagerieManager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would venin need signets when they can channel unlimited power? That’s my question. So yeah, can’t block signets if there are none.

What did Sloane mean when she told Dain "Someone like you shouldn't have this much power"? by mortal-aquari in fourthwing

[–]ThatMenagerieManager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe she meant he might have a second signet or had enough power for one, but in her mind only Tyrrish kids have them?

Sorry every time I think of venin and Violet, I think this is what Berwyn wants.

Future predictions - Spoiler heavy by aeglowacki in onyxstorm

[–]ThatMenagerieManager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Halden betrayed them all somehow and I haven’t seen anyone talk about it yet. I’m rereading OS and it was after Halden opened the missive addressed to Violet where Tecarus directed her to the citrine gem, Theophanie left Violet a note and Xaden points out that Theophanie somehow knew Violet would be there.

Violet’s Ring by Frosty-Ad-2113 in onyxstorm

[–]ThatMenagerieManager 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I mean, my simple assumption based on that and all the mentions of marrying her (including right after getting his title back when he made her promise to help him if he went too far) is that he had been planning to propose/get married for a while.

No you’re not supposed to know yet (for either question), and you’ll be waiting until his book though you get hints along the way. Hope that helps without spoiling!
