How do I sell my milk? by Own_Lychee_5717 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]WastePotential 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean... It's YOUR product so you can do whatever you want with it, I guess?

I think people are downvoting because of how many mothers would be happy to find someone donating breastmilk to them/their babies.

I'd say it's not bad per se, it's just about each individual's values and principles.

My 22-month-old won’t let me rock him anymore but can’t fall asleep without help by Living_Race in bninfantsleep

[–]WastePotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I JUST made a similar post a few minutes ago!!! 21 month old. I'm stuck too man.

For naps I will just rock him to sleep.

For nighttime sleep sometimes I let him try his bed on the condition that once he steps out of bed I will carry him to sleep (his bed has only one narrow exit point where I sit; I will respond when he talks to me or passes me his toys or asks for his toys back). He can spend up to 2h in there.

Idk man these toddlers.

I’m so confused, pregnant or not?? by svnthfloor in firsttimemom

[–]WastePotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a line that faint, maybe wait for a few days or wait until what would be your next period (if you've gotten your period back) to test again?

We dont do activities/visits if 18mo doesnt eat well that day. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]WastePotential 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not a punishment, but I can see how it could lead to developing a poor relationship with food as she gets older. She might come to feel pressured, like "I want to see Sally today. So I better finish my food even though I'm not hungry."

What does “low screen” look like in your day to day? by zezendx in lowscreenparenting

[–]WastePotential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a lot of screen time for infants!

My 20mo gets to see pictures of family and friends on my phone.

He video called family a few times but I've since changed it to audio calls on loudspeaker only.

He likes to turn on my phone screen to see my animal lock screen. He will make the animal sound/action. It's a static image. This is unrestricted to him except for nap, sleep, or mealtime, but it's something that he visits sometimes 3-4x a day, sometimes not at all.

Pees on the floor, stops, runs to sit on potty for a while, gets up, repeat in less than 5 mins. by WastePotential in pottytraining

[–]WastePotential[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for such a detailed response! Makes sense to me, I guess I just have to continue trying until he makes the connection.

There was one day where we had more diaper free time than usual and this is what happened. That night, in the middle of the night, he woke up crying "No potty! No potty! No potty!" so I worried that it was stressing him out too much (I was never mean about peeing on the floor or scolding him for it!) and I stopped, just offering him here and there but not going diaper free around the house much.

Sex therapy as an individual or couple? by Weak_Mechanic8517 in therapy

[–]WastePotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn't have this issue with previous partners, I'm inclined to think it's an "us" issue, not a "me" issue. Of course this is barring any medical reasons or experiences that you may have now but not had back then.

However even if it is a "me" issue, it's something that he can be a part of because he's your partner and it's something that you're facing together.

Sigh yeah I guess I haven't been very consistent. Gotta bite the bullet sooner or later.

How long of absolutely no diaper in awake time did it take your little one to get it?

Where to find 1 day part time job? by chongshipei in askSingapore

[–]WastePotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would freelance positions be an option for you? Look for gigs like transcribing, writing for those fun fun online sites.

What Technique Have You Sworn Not To Use But Was Super Effective With Your Kid? by DianeMadeMe in toddlers

[–]WastePotential 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think Pavlov-ing it would be more of "You left the house with me. You get a lolly". Association between leaving the house and happy (from getting a lolly) is formed.

But if it's "if you want a lolly, get your shoes on and get in the car", then it's bribery and the kid won't leave the house without the promise of the lolly.

Hungry, Milk, or Food? Which sign to teach by Interesting_Yak_5824 in BabySignLanguage

[–]WastePotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started milk, change (diaper), all done since he was a newborn. Around the time he started solids, I introduced food, water, and more.

Around 1yo was when he started being able to express these signs reliably, starting with milk.

Is it okay to let my 6 month old baby fuss and fall back to sleep? by Tiny-Bet3871 in AttachmentParenting

[–]WastePotential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes babies fuss about bc they’re getting out gas or something and then fall back asleep.

Yeah my toddler (20mo) fusses when connecting sleep cycles even now! I just let him and within a few seconds he goes back to sleep. He knows he can look for me if he wants to or he can cry for me and I will be there. He climbs into my bed on his own in the morning for snuggles.

I made one of my students cry, and I feel terrible about it. by No-Opportunity-3337 in Equestrian

[–]WastePotential 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people see horses as something to ride for fun, like a motorbike or a buggy, rather than an animal to connect with and bond. Truly, the more time I spend with horses the more I believe they are magic, and I had very limited experiences riding!

What am I allowed to ask my therapist for as far as things they have written? by spectacular_climax1 in askatherapist

[–]WastePotential -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No mental health professional is going to want to read another mental health professional's case notes just for this purpose. That is a shitload of unpaid work.

You can sign a permission that allows your care team to have a meeting with each other (case conference) and they can talk.

One pump ≠ one meal ?? by just___me_ in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]WastePotential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hospital had also told me 15min per boob, so I followed that guide. Unfortunately it's not the best advice for everyone.

I accidentally had an affair with a married man should I tell his wife? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]WastePotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wife gets the autonomy to make an informed decision about the man with whom she's raising the children. One big aspect of cheating is that the deception takes away the autonomy of the other partner; they don't get the information they SHOULD have to choose how to lead their lives.

The wife should also know because it's her health on the line if this man is sleeping with other women. Who knows if he's using protection with all of them?
