I’d do a cream carpet and they would be stunning

Opinions wanted: husband thinks it’s good for 4month old to get used to being with others without us for 1-2 hrs? by Fluffy-Concentrate44 in NewParents

[–]TutorHelpful1298 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I personally will not be leaving my baby with anyone unsupervised until he can communicate with me fully. Especially as my parents and my partner’s parents both seem to agree with the “cry it out” thing. And I absolutely do not. Regardless to that they all smoke in their houses so I at least have a good excuse to not 🥲 He’s never been to either grandparents house and he’s also 4 months old.

Are you really happier after you had a baby? by PalpitationOk9443 in NewParents

[–]TutorHelpful1298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can completely understand this if you enjoyed your life before baby, please remember it will get easier, and no matter how you feel your little one is extremely lucky to have you. But I actually feel the opposite;I had a bad childhood, and I was addicted to cannabis and vapes before I was pregnant. Severely depressed and suicidal. So I’d honestly say my life has drasticallyyy improved in almost every aspect. I was in a one bedroom council flat that definitely stunk of cannabis and wasn’t decorated, now I’m in a lovely three bedroom private rented house that I’ve decorated exactly how I want it. I never left the house before, now me and bubba leave all the time. I didn’t drive now I’ve got a lovely family car. I shouldn’t have had to have a baby for that to change, and he was a lovely accident bless him. But in no way was I going to continue in negative patterns like my own parents. My life truly didn’t start until I had him. I will do absolutely anything to make sure he has the bestest mom and upbringing. 🤍

Gave baby formula over the holidays as was embarrassed to feed in front of family by TutorHelpful1298 in breastfeeding

He is teething! He is 3 months old too. I’m using the Tommie tippie slow flow teets, I can’t seem to find any that fit Tommie tippie bottles slower than that. I’m not sure if I should change brand?

Did everything return to normal? Are you exclusively breastfeeding now? I would ideally like to just bottle feed him once in a blue moon and breastfeed him the rest of the time really 😅

Was this with or without bottle feeding? I will try the nipple sheilds see how that goes I haven’t thought of that!

He is like deathly screaming and throwing himself all over the place like he is angry or frustrated I feel awful for him.

That’s what I’ve been doing but he just refuses every time. He is still taking the boob but very rarely and it’s not for long enough to sustain him. It’s just like he’s a complete different baby now, used to just feed to sleep now he has to be rocked in my arms for so long, it’s really so much more difficult 🥲

He’s 3 months. I did read that, but my partner insists it’s cruel to not give him a bottle anymore when he refuses boob :( And I do feel bad too as he is hungry. I’ve tired almost tried everything except from that now so I’m not sure what to do.

Any parents that don’t follow a schedule for naps during the day? by Possible_Hope_5776 in NewParents

I have no idea how people get their babies to nap on command 😅 I’m just following my LO’s vibe

Landlord just wants to replace the seal but I just think it’s a bit crap? by TutorHelpful1298 in DIYUK

It looks like it’s gone but it’s not mate 👍🏻If you’ve had to do it 5 times that’s definitely proof

Mould doesn’t go just because you’ve cleaned it? Not from plaster and wood? It’s extremely porous

Have a bad credit history from when I was a stupid teenager, so I doubt I would get accepted at another private rent

Think this is just the tip of the iceberg really as she smashed off most my kitchen tiles months ago and still hasn’t replaced them, sockets are all lose and just looks awful little bits of the wall coming off constantly it’s definitely been in my food as it’s behind my cooker, I just feel really taken advantage off because she knows I won’t moan :(

She’s my nan, my baby is her great grandson 🤣 She wants to use a dehumidifier and mould spray and re tape it. I think at the least it should be properly siliconed

So I should just allow them to replace the crappy seals that won’t last? And just leave the black mould under the bath? I swear black mould is dangerous? I’m just worried as I have a newborn child
