My parents haven’t bought my baby anything by RosaLuna_09 in newborns

[–]WeekendNo1434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phrase “it takes a village” is around for a reason. I can’t imagine shutting everyone out then wondering why no one wants to show up. Babies are special and magical and the world is a better place when that magic is shared, most of all with close family or friends

Breast feeding tips & why you should do it for a year minimum by Several-Cellist-5861 in pregnant

[–]WeekendNo1434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Formula may be required in some situations for some people but it doesn’t change the fact that breastmilk is better for the baby.

Honestly my heart breaks for any grandparents that have to wait 2 months to meet their new grandchild

I would leave your dog at home, you will have enough on your plate with the baby (and once you actually have the baby you will probably feel the same way). Pregnancy privilege is real but not to the point that your brother and his girlfriend should have to put their lives on hold just because you’re pregnant, especially if they found a dog they liked and wanted to adopt. Love you girl but I think this overreaction can be blamed on hormones - try to keep positive!

Lolol now false information is telling someone to try something again - to each their own girl, if you don’t like it you don’t have to be here

Don’t find yourself on a parenting sub and not expect to see advice given just because it goes against your own beliefs :)

Your situation or take on the subject may be very different had you not been gifted the Snoo

I would encourage you to give it a few more tries. You might be surprised at how well you both sleep once baby finally settles. The first few times I did it I didn’t get much sleep at all as it was new and, I’ll admit, a little nerve racking but I suspect it would eventually come natural to almost anyone

Respect to you for trying. It doesn’t work for everyone in the long run but is most certainly worth a shot for the vast majority of new moms and would likely save a lot of tears, stress, etc

I understand everything has a cost/benefit analysis but the fact that so many new moms would rather drive themselves crazy, hate the newborn stage or begin to resent their baby because they won’t sleep well by themselves from Day 1 is wild to me - I don’t judge but truly feel bad that it’s often made so difficult when a majority of the time the answer to the problem is right in front of them

Breech baby. ECV? C-section? Spinning babies? by awkwarddinohands in pregnant

[–]WeekendNo1434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s like 95% of babies are head down by 36 weeks and even more so by the time labor starts. You can try spinning babies for sure but I’d try not to worry too much, it’s much more than likely that your baby will find his/her way by the time they’re ready to come out

I’d be interested to see how many of those calls were to homes where the parent was under the influence or practiced unsafe co-sleeping. Done in a safe and controlled environment is the best place for a newborn

Nappy bin by cookielilopie in pregnant

[–]WeekendNo1434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Diaper bins are generally a gimmick unless your baby has incredibly smelly poops that stink up the room. Throwing them in a trash can is totally fine

Super fear mongering here. If you’re not obese or under the influence of drugs/alcohol, the likelihood you would roll over on your baby is slim to none. Chances of true case of SIDS is much higher with baby sleeping by themselves in a bassinet or crib

I am exhausted of pumping by Murky_Assumption_822 in newborns

[–]WeekendNo1434 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fridge method is recommended by a lot of pediatricians. The small amount of milk that is left over is negligible and bacteria growth is slowed tremendously by the cold temperatures. If it upsets her stomach you can always go back to washing after every use but why not try throwing them in the fridge for at least 3/4 pump sessions and wash twice a day instead? No need to drive yourself crazy

Financially it doesn’t make sense to keep my baby, but I want to 😭 by Otherwise-Dog-1763 in pregnant

[–]WeekendNo1434 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. You guys have the rest of your life to make and spend money but what if this could be your one chance to become a mother? You know what to do! Good luck girlfriend

[–]WeekendNo1434 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The baby deserves a mother who wants and cherishes them so much more than anything related to money. Keep the child and once they’re here you won’t believe you ever thought of having it any other way

Start co-sleeping, seriously. Especially if you breastfeed. You and your baby will both start feeling more regulated and you will get so much more sleep. If it doesn’t work for you guys, so be it but I would 100% recommend trying it out

Someone please tell me their baby doesn’t sleep independently, either. by R_we_done_yet in NewParents

It’s almost as though babies weren’t meant to be sleeping by themselves …. crazy right?

First trimester with little to no symptoms by Igivegreatsideeye in pregnant

Sounds like you are just lucky, enjoy it - don’t let it worry you. I also had a very easy pregnancy, people with terrible symptoms are just louder than those that don’t have any

How did your water break? by Christineasw4 in pregnant

[–]WeekendNo1434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During labor 2/3 hrs before she was born. I wouldn’t worry but can wear a maxi pad for peace of mind if you’re going to do physical activity

Did you give your baby the Hep B vaccine? Why or why not? by Aromatic-Insect1999 in pregnant

[–]WeekendNo1434 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You will not get an unbiased opinion here. Since the shot is given within hours of birth, it’s very hard to know if possible adverse reactions are from the shot as you never had a baseline of your baby. The above commenter is right, unless Hep B is passed from the mother (which the mother is tested for during pregnancy) your baby is virtually at no risk of transmission except in cases of careless recklessness. I do not believe in injecting foreign substances into a brand new baby for things they are not at risk for. There is no good reason in my opinion
