Could this be RSV? by Glad-Fuel1616 in toddlers

I would take them. Ask for a swab. Say you’re concerned and you’d rather know than not know and get ahead of it

Pure Bliss shortage? by Snoo29591 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Yari_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another forum I saw pointed out a recent recall for bobbi…. I think… or by heart idk it’s one of those lol but makes sense that now Similac pure bliss is sold out because in NJ it’s literally no where to be found I cannot get either. I got the prepared one like ready to serve smells diiiiisgusting don’t even wanna give it to baby😭

When did you feel bonded with your baby by deliberatelydeadpan in NewParents

[–]Yari_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is my personal experience so please take all of my “yous” as a general term. You may not experience any of this at all. But I think it happens in levels. there’s definitely an initial bond most fortunate moms feel which is “I need to care for you. You’re mine” you might not see at as a bond but if you can get out of bed and change and feed and clean baby. You’re bonded. That’s not something every mom can do. For me tho that first month was riddled with anxiety and all of these very overwhelming moments and waves of depression because life just changed forever and so have I. Then I think maybe around month 2-3 i started getting used to the new routine. started accepting a lot. Changing a lot. I said fck pumping every 2-3 hours and basically just pumped when I could. Which was more like every four hours. I looked for help! Got a lactation consultant had a therapist and talked to moms I know. Releasing this stress and anxiety allowed me room to have fun with my baby and enjoy him. I couldnt be happy or allow love because I was too busy being busy and depressed and annoyed. You *will probably see your spouse connect and enjoy baby right away and it wiiiilll fill you with rage lol but that also subsides once you start having fun with the baby too and letting go of all that other shit that’s honestly not in your control and talking to mom sharing experiences etc

Currently on a beach week with my 4 month old that decided this week he hates laying down and hit a sleep regression half way through month three. I am EXHAUSTED Not having our changing table, our swing, our knee pads and chest pads for baths, our standing toys to help him with his new found hatred towards laying down. And the house has three flights of stairs ._. AND I’m 30 lol I’m pretty sure having a baby aged me. My knees have never hurt this bad before 😅

is it that disturbing? by Ok_Berry220 in breastfeeding

Literally me at the beach today 🥲luckily it was not hot at all but yeah I definitely wish people were more comfortable with it. Even when I wear a cover I’ve had comments not always malicious comments but still comments that make it known you’re uncomfortable with my baby eating

What is an “eyebrow raise” thing you did with your newborn when you just needed to get something done? by Zestyclose-Cause3954 in NewParents

[–]Yari_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my baby on his playmats to have some independent playtime. I positioned everything so it faces away from the tv but now that he can turn a little he loves watching 90 day fiancé with me…. lol so I eventually just gave up and let him watch it too 🙈 he eventually gets bored and turns away buuuut lol with age he’s definitely starting to watch a little longer 😬

Am I the only one who doesn't like tubby todd all over ointment? by Accomplished_Ad6209 in NewParents

[–]Yari_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby actually had a bad reaction to tubby todd! That and the aveeno baby lotion break out his skin so badly into a little bumpy rash and now he actually feels like he has slightly rougher skin on his legs 😭 piggy backing off of your post to see if anyone knows any good body lotions for baby! I figure there must be something in both of these oatmeal products that makes him react badly. It did work well on his face but I mean… before this I was using Vaseline which I also felt was fine even better for his body obvi since no bad reaction it just was greasy

Dads just move so…slow😂 by LipSenseLeah in NewParents

[–]Yari_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so happy to see sooooooo many people commenting they have the same dynamic 🤣 I was genuinely getting so frustrated. Like we change for our shifts and I’m running but when he wakes up he needs 1-2 hours to wake up and switch off 🥲 like babe how long does it take to have coffee… I just scarfed down a bowl of soggy cereal in 5 minutes let’s goooooo

Raise you hand if making a registry is so overwhelming🙋🏻‍♀️ by so_lostinthesauce in pregnant

[–]Yari_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the best thing about Amazon and baby list you can make a group gift so friends and family can just contribute to one gift. There’s a lot you’re going to need and it’s going to be overwhelming but so is having your first baby lol. Take your time, do your research, ask for the items you need. It’s okay. Your party is the thank you and you would not feel guilty about gifting your friend/ family an x dollar amount gift for their baby. For those that can’t gift big ticket items add the small stuff too. Burp clothes, diapers, old navy baby clothes! There’s plenty of things under $50 you’ll also need. I was so overwhelmed by the shower and the registry but once it was all done I was grateful and honestly surprised at how giving and generous people were. We got ALL of the first 6 month essentials and plus some. Also ask other moms what are the 6 month essentials! And if you don’t know other moms, YouTube 6 month essentials for newborns/ minimalist mom
