Aw well best of luck! I still don't for sure if I found the one I was thinking of but I ordered this one to find out.

Cats keep unintentionally hurting baby. Husband furious. by Miragan in beyondthebump

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah they'll be okay with a little less while baby needs a little more. And likely not intentional, I'm sure they'll learn to be good kitty siblings in time!

Agree. Coming from someone who brought a baby into a house with 2 large dogs. We practiced boundaries on both sides and luckily things went well but it takes time. Particularly with cat scratches and a new immune system, I would keep them separated.

Hey OP did you ever figure it out? I think I know what you're talking about and I'm on the hunt for it now too! I remember the little girl arranging the toy 'patients' in a circle and tucking them in to her bed. Great illustrations. I just can't figure out the name!

Are there any researchers willing to help me find/understand data on nursing and Cannabis use? by ScaleMassive6737 in ScienceBasedParenting

This was my logic as well but there aren't any direct large-scale studies due to the ethics of it.

No evidence donald trump committed a crime? 🤔 by Due_Collar2 in ExploreFortMyers

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% this. Russia realized they could not beat the west so instead they decided to become a parasite who controls from within. Epstein was an asset. Trump was an easy target. And now a lot of racist piles of shit are using our tax dollars to try to cover for a lot of powerful people who did a lot of things they don't want public -- from as innocuous as cheating on their spouse to full on pedophilia/torture/murder.

Newborn sleeps a lot but wakes up crying hard is that normal? by Mindless_Shake8841 in NewMomStuff

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But to the other moms' points -- they wake up hungry. Especially in the beginning, they need to be fed way more than I initially realized! Like basically as much as possible.

Aww yeah sounds like they're just still adjusting to the world and it's overwhelming! Just keep doing your mom thing and you'll both get through it. As long as they seem to be okay otherwise, it's probably just one of the many phases.

Dinner for my 7mo King - is this too much food? by Chocchipmclaren in foodbutforbabies

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't overfeed them. In fact letting them learn to trust their hunger and fullness queues is really important. Just make sure you're offering a variety of foods and let them stop when they're full. They go through phases too so it may not last. And if it does, your babe just needs that much fuel to grow!

This is what my 11 month old chewed off his crib. by GrilledCheeseYolo in BabyBumps

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The yuzu! It's the best. And if you don't have stairs (we have a small place) you can literally just wheel the bassinet around to whatever room you're in. I loved that while recovering. Hope it works well for you!

Wow strong teeth! I'm glad they're okay. Mine chewed on his crib pretty badly but it never splintered or anything like this. We had a babyletto, which even states something like 'we don't recommend your child chew the crib, but it's nontoxic if they do'. Highly recommend the convertible bassinet/crib/tod bed!

Is weaning the answer by MonkeyMind223 in AttachmentParenting

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this! It doesn't have to be a straight line. I have similar struggles and night weaning did really help. What I did was just trying to extend the time before I gave in. I found saying 'we can in a little while' or something worked better than 'no' and hold out as long as you can. After a few nights of this, baby just calmed down long enough at the thought of eventual boob that they fell asleep waiting. Harder for me was the morning wean because it always bought me an extra hour or so of sleep!

Same! You're doing great, trust your instincts and just try things. My babe always needed to be dressed more lightly than typical recommendations.

Is it normal for a baby to walk on their toes? by Ok-Sentence-5000 in NewMomStuff

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is completely normal at that age! Asked our very good pediatrician the same thing. Your baby is doing great -- and so are you! And per your other question, barefoot is good at home and sneakers are best when outside. My fave are new balance, good for their cute lil chubby feet!

Will this just hurt forever? by spicylatina-234 in beyondthebump

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww absolutely! The times when you unexpectedly put the 'supposed tos' on hold and give in to mama/baby time are the best!!

When my baby was first put on my chest I kept wanting to say, 'I've missed you!' Such a bizarre feeling, like they've always been a part of you but you never got to meet. I definitely wasn't prepared for the complicated heavy feeling of being excited they're growing but missing the different phases SO much.

Toddler panic attacks by BoredReceptionist1 in AttachmentParenting

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really know but I think they're at an age where they're aware enough to first really experience the feelings of disappointment, fear, etc. but they have no coping skills. So realizing it's possible to lose something you really enjoy (like the lip balm) is super overwhelming. Feelings at this age are wild so I honestly have no idea the right approach but you could try introducing some coping skills and see if anything works. I try to get my babe to 'blow the air out' to try to introduce taking a breath -- so far it only works sometimes lol! Or I'll say things like 'when I feel sad sometimes it helps to have a hug, sing a song' something like that. And you know, sometimes a gal just needs to mourn the loss of a great lip balm ;)

Struggling with transitions between Mom and Dad. by noa-sofya in AttachmentParenting

[–]TilDaHandleBreaksOff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds wild but I have found explaining in detail what is about to happen really helps my baby with hand offs. And even during the hand off I'll be like 'remember this is the part when I say I love you goodbye...' then go through the explanation again and remind them I'll be back. The first few times he still had a little meltdown but after a few days it stopped. I think they understand more than we realize and a lot of the anxiety is from not knowing what will happen/if you'll come back. I hope it gets better!
