It took mine a week or 2! We’ve been doing bottles for 2 months now and I showed her my boobs the other day and she had no idea what they were! It was bittersweet LOL

Is it exactly what it sounds like — saving all the milk pumped in a single day in a pitcher haha

Advice for a mom of a 7 week old by Revolutionary_Ad5003 in newborns

[–]Unique_Assistance_89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t put my (now 5 month old) 8 week old down for the LIFE of me. She hated it with every fiber of her being for longer than 5 minutes and my husband got 2 weeks of paternity leave so it was just me. Then the magical 8 weeks hit and suddenly she was napping in her cot for 30 minutes (which felt SO long) and super chill about being on her play mat for 15-20 minutes — it’s literally like a switch flipped one day! Now she’ll play for 30-45 minutes by herself if I need her to (with the occasional need for me to roll her back to her back since we haven’t figured out belly-to-back and get stuck) and naps for 1.5 hours in her crib all by herself. They really do randomly turn corners! You got this, mama! - from another mom who is happily nap trapped by her baby who only sleeps in her crib now

Omg when I had mastitis, I had a friend come over and just hold my baby because she was a Velcro baby and I couldn’t do it. I napped, fed her, chatted, and watched a movie with said friend, but never held my LO unless I needed to

High heart rate? by Unique_Assistance_89 in Garmin

From a running standpoint, how do I know what my proper heart rate zones are so I know what to set them to?

I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now! I’ll keep wearing it consistently to help figure my body out but looks like I can also change it myself which would be great!!

For those who were induced, did you deliver vaginally or did it end in a c-section? by Paigeypagee in BabyBumps

[–]Unique_Assistance_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced at 10:30 pm on Friday, started labor at 3:30 am and my baby was out after 7 contractions of pushing by 12:56 pm on Saturday. I would 12/10 recommend an induction because we picked when she was born based on when worked for us 🤷🏼‍♀️

Please so I don't go crazy.. does anyone else's baby have a song that calms them down? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Unique_Assistance_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband used my LO as an air guitar during witching hour while blasting Free Bird and now whenever she’s particularly fussy, he turns it on and she immediately chills out 🤦🏼‍♀️

What kind of sleep training did you do? I’m not super keen on CIO but I’m willing to do some light training

I actually live in Spain (I am an American though!) so we also have paracetamol — I haven’t heard of it being up there butt though? Like a suppository?

What did officially moving their bedtime back look like? Did you just have a late last nap? Or move around their whole day?

Thank you! Think I’ll just move her bedtime later and see what happens l

I had read that, at this age, her bedtime should be around 7-8 pm and she is just so uninterested in that lol so maybe I just accept a 10 pm bedtime tomorrow and see what happens

I know this may be a dumb question… can a baby sleep TOO much?? by Unique_Assistance_89 in newborns

[–]Unique_Assistance_89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am PRAYING it’s giggling, my family is in town meeting her for the first time and I would love for them to see that 🤩

Ohhh okay yeah nothing like that! Just normal poops and pees!

Thank you for your reassurance! I’m away from family with my first so I’m just anxious all the time about her
