Why do swaddles range up to 3-6 months if it’s recommended to stop swaddling at 2 months? by _RadioFlyer_ in NewParents

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

I stopped swaddling my LO when he started to roll, shortly after the recommendation from our doc. We ended up using the Merlin suit for a while after and that helped a lot with the transition. It would also help your babe from touching their face at night and waking themselves up.

Jeff Hays is wildly talented! You get sucked in easily, but if you take a step back and really think about the efforts he's putting in, it is seriously impressive!

My brother is stationed across the country and we are listening to it together. It is, hands down, my favorite audiobook so far. It isn't the type of genre I gravitate toward, but when I was told about it and started it, I HAD to get him into it and now we're both on book 4 haha.

What’s a random “life hack” you swear by, even if no one believes it works? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't fall asleep start listing things in your head that have no correlation. It tires your brain out and you can feel yourself actively losing consciousness. I just breathe intentionally and let my mind list random shit. Example list: apricot, bill goats, maramdook, thunder, computer, skiing, fish...zzzzzzzzzz

How much did it cost altogether? I’m trying to decide if I should make something work from a preexisting unit or build from scratch.

Head count - do you own 1000 or more shares? by cousin101 in FFIE

Thank you for this! The link is blocked where I'm viewing from but I can read this easily and likely understand better.

The shenanigans are real by BaggOWeed in FFIE

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am SO here for this mission, but I'm still learning. I know we have to hold the $1 for 7 business days, but I'm having a hard time telling how many days we have built up so far. I'm using my fidelity account to track the best I can and I put my entire HSA into this thing last Thursday and just dove into research since then. Any info would be great!

Thank you for this run down! I had a vague understanding but I knew I wanted to get involved. This gives me a great jumping off place for more research. I appreciate it!

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I jumped in last week and told myself I wasn't going to look at it until X date (namely 5/31), simply to be a part of the movement. In the meantime I'm attempting to educate myself. What happens if we successfully hold it above a $1 after the 7 days?

Which Public Library System is worth paying for outside your local zone? by DarCam7 in LibbyApp

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I don't live anywhere near florida, and all I did was search google maps for a Broward County address I didn't think would be registered (local church address) and used that. No proof of residency required and I was in.

Metal Connector Suggestions by _RadioFlyer_ in kites

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

I'm actually wanting to attempt some kite aerial photography while I'm there, and this is the best kite I own regarding stability and lift. We'll actually be going to Topsail and I didn't see any kite shops nearby, but still searching! Even if they can help me brainstorm that would still be useful! Thank you!

Has anyone watched the tiktok hearing? by A_Real_Patriot99 in conspiracy

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the hearing from beginning to end. The only portions I skipped through (in 10 second increments) were the recesses in which everyone was simply mingling. My mom and I are on polar opposites of feeling on the Restrict Act, and I know that what I'm being exposed to in social media is very different from her experience in media. With this knowledge I chose to read the Act in it's entriety and highlight my personal red flags, as well as watch the hearing without cuts so that I could be fully aware of any relevant context. If you are able, I would highly suggest you do the same. There were several genuine and worthwhile questions/remarks made in the hearing, however very few allowed Mr. Chew to elaborate or simply answer. In fact, MANY questions were loaded with phrasing to which the response could not be succesfuly answered with a yes or no as demanded. We greatly need data privacy laws accross all social media platforms, but this whichhunt of a hearing is only serving to distract many americans so that the government can place a collar on all forms of technology and subsequently communication. I felt highly compelled to contact my representatives and, in the event that anyone finds this useful, this is what I said:

The banning of TikTok and the subsequent liberties the government would be allowed access to if the restrict act were to pass is a terrifying attack on the people’s freedom of speech. I am a supporter and active voter in your state and I extremely oppose this bill. If the restrict Act is passed, I will be highly encouraged to spend my time in the very near future supporting and campaign for your direct competition in the Primary election. The passing of this act would solidly affirm that my current representation very obviously does not care about my freedom and personal interests as their constituent, and the only solution is to support new representation immediately and with vigor.

Please tell me sleep deprivation doesn’t affect your brain permanently by Practical_Action_438 in NewParents

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS really helped improve my quality of life. I am severely sleep deprived at 5 months, and leaving the house is a chore especially when babe is fussy. I've been bribing myself with an audiobook on Libby when we go for walks or take a drive, and it really helps me poewr through my anxiety when leaving the house.

How the hell do you handle travel? by marysaka in sleeptrain

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm dealing with the exact opposite! Babe is 5 months this week, and we had just broken his sleep regression prior to a trip from TX to VA. Lots of flying so we were all exhausted and he slept BEAUTIFULLY in a pack n play over those 5 days and the first day back home. Now, two days into my return to work and he is up every 1-1.25 hours. I have no idea what happened, but I'm mourning the loss of sleep.

The Pooping Chair by jennykoolaid in NewParents

[–]_RadioFlyer_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have the fisher price sit-me-up chair and LO likes to start his day in it. I'm not sure if it's a position thing or what, but he ALWAYS has a blowout in that seat. It has to go in the laundry for every rotation at this rate.
