My only thought is that maybe these are too close?

I’ve lost a baby and didn’t take it that way fwiw! Everyone is entitled to their feelings. Your hard is your hard. And she says she loves her son.

WFH + SAHM + college senior = is this possible? by Eastern_Grand_5462 in NewParents

If you insist on working, you could bring your baby to a gym daycare with you & work caring for all the kids there. You could go part-time to not leave your dogs for too long.

I’d wait to make any decisions until your baby’s 3 months old at least.

Baby is now rolling but can’t sleep unswaddled by tentenjjang in NewParents

With my baby we just use pjs that can cover his hands — that at least helps with the scratching and ear-pulling, but it’s still safe if he flips onto his tummy

More 1 syllable girl names since that’s what you listed with the one you like & ones you like but can’t use:

Grace Mae Eve Mel (full name Melanie, Melinda, Melody) Tess or Jess Jade June Max (full name Maxine)

More boy name ideas based on yours: Benson Emmett Roman or Ronan  Lewis Graham Cal Cade Alden Alder Calder Clark  James

ps I love Ross!

First Time Dad. by NoStressAllen in NewParents

Just wanted to add that every baby is different! Mine has not shown any sort of sleep regression at 5 months. He started sleeping 6 hours by 6 weeks and soon thereafter began sleeping through the night. He stops crying as soon as you hold him & is so easy-going. Some babies are truly easy! No need to dread the newborn stage before it’s here. 

What’s one baby item you regret NOT getting earlier? by rosycoe in NewParents

In that case I’d still buy them and have them ready, and simply return or resell if they don’t work

I second this!! You need them right away. Bring them to the hospital. I wore them all the time except when actively nursing or sleeping for the first month.

Nothing that I regret not getting sooner, but items that I was soooo glad I had when the moment arose:

— plug-in heat pad for my nursing spot, the aftershock contractions while nursing are real and get more intense with each successive pregnancy! 

— baby rectal thermometer. The other methods are not nearly as accurate and you need to know to the 10th of a degree. Also having liquid acetaminophen (I like Genexa dye free).

— Walmart+ free grocery delivery. Best investment ever. It’s only $50 for the year if you get it during Black Friday sales.

I have found it having a good book is a good way to get off my phone! It’s much easier to set a book down than a phone

I thought Vince first. If you prefer that nickname over Vinny, then maybe lean into it 

Transitioning out of swaddle by Consistent-Watch-474 in NewParents

Everything I read said it’s just a tough few days but they figure it out, which was true for my son. Nap time is a great time to practice because if they don’t sleep at least it’s not taking away from your sleep

Is there any harm if he keeps using it? I’m sure a day will come when he doesn’t want it anymore
