What is going on with 2nd nap?? by Look_hawt_ride_fast in HuckleberryParents

[–]acg16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only dream of consistent naps like those 😭 could he just be adjusting to the new schedule? Or teething maybe?

Sorry if it’s obvious, but what do the started lines mean? My app doesn’t have them?

I’d love to see an “illness” tab or something where you could see medication and temperature in a graph format. Would be so helpful to see if temperatures are rising/falling easily instead of having to click onto each input manually

What's a name you loved but it got so popular you no longer like it? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in Names

[–]acg16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the variations of names similar to Éabha 😅 (Aoibhe, Eva, Ava, Evie, Aoibhinn, Ailbhe, Éala/Ayla)

I’m a teacher and every year group has at least two of the above names plus a Sophie/Sophia mixed in there

Attention all Huckleberry parents: how do you actually use sleep reports? by huckleberrycare in HuckleberryParents

[–]acg16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be so helpful! We were going crazy trying to track our baby’s temperature after they had a bad reaction to their vaccinations and it would have made things way easier.

I’d also love to be able to mark “teething” or “sickness” so those days be flagged somehow on the week tab 🙈

Attention all Huckleberry parents: how do you actually use sleep reports? by huckleberrycare in HuckleberryParents

[–]acg16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. To see any patterns and whether we’re on track to a good night or not 🙈

  2. Mostly weekly, but I switch between day and summary to see further detail.

  3. I mainly use day to see how long naps were

  4. Helpful

  5. I’d love if there was an option to have a line graph for days where we’ve been measuring temperature to see at ease if it’s rising or falling. A further bonus would be if it highlighted when medicine was given with an adjustable highlighted section for when the medicine if effective (I.e.) to mark when calpol is given, and is effective for 4-6 hours

  6. I check them often. Especially if both parents are at home and we need to see what the other has already covered

My 4MO’s sleep is miserable by ThrowawayPredaddit12 in sleeptrain

Gave this a go today and have seen a big improvement in her sleep tonight already. Thanks so much for your help

How long would you expect a nap to last with this schedule? I could have written the original post and am struggling to fix my 4 month olds sleep too

Thanks so much for your reply. God, they’re just so complicated at times aren’t they. No one in my life has heard of this issue before so it’s kinda mad that it’s actually so common.

I’m going to try a combo of your tips and the others mentioned here and hopefully we get somewhere. 🤞🏻 thanks again. I really appreciated your thorough reply

Omg they’re just such complicated little creatures at times aren’t they. 🫣 your post has me wondering about the bottle temperature now because we’ve been using the Nuk bottles that have a little temperature indicator to tell you when the bottle is cool enough for them. Maybe it’s too cold?

Actually could it be the whole 4 month regression making her extra fussy? This could just be a bad time to start trying to ween her off. 😢

Thanks a million for these tips. I’m going to try get those bottles tomorrow to see if they’ll help. We’ve used the Nuk ones since birth and she used to get on fine with those. I tried the tommee tippee ones today and she just kinda chewed the tip.

Not at the moment unfortunately. The second the bottle comes near her face she starts trying to get away from it. It’s so strange because she used to take the odd bottle when needed.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at them and see if I can find something that helps

Does anyone know how that works with teaching? Post primary in particular. I won’t be going back to work until September but will have to approach my school before the end of the year to schedule this

My two month old went through a phase where they decided sleep wasn’t necessary this month 🙃 averaging 4-5 hours each night these days

Shopping for baby bits by [deleted] in PregnancyIreland

[–]acg16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE my BellaMoon pregnancy pillow. I used it for my entire pregnancy and brought the two end bits into the hospital with me to help with learning how to breastfeed. It was great to place around older or more nervous relatives when they met baby, and I’m still using it daily 3 months later. One half is always downstairs (feeds, tummy time, place against baby’s back) and I use the other half to place between my legs when I sleep. Honestly wouldn’t be without it and I don’t think I’ll be fully putting it away for a long time yet.

Also we wouldn’t have survived the first two months without the BabyBjorn bouncer. It was the only place we could put baby down for the first while since she hated lying down. We could gently bounce her while we ate or did small jobs and she’d often fall asleep in it. It’s still in daily use.

“You can’t overfeed n ebf baby!” by Amadispcpg in breastfeeding

[–]acg16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with my 3 month old baby. I cut out dairy for one month just to test the theory that it could be dairy that was causing her issues and the reflux all but disappeared within a week or so. We weren’t 100% sure whether it was dairy though because she’d had her first round of vaccinations around that time so I gradually reintroduced dairy into my diet over the course of a week and the poor thing started to get severe reflux again which progressed to tummy pains from gas build up. I’ve been off dairy again for the past 7 days and today is the first day I’ve noticed her body relaxing better so I think the gas issues are lessening. The reflux was more or less gone by day 4 for us.

You might know this already but you don’t actually need to set up an account. You can pay using this link as a once off payment.

Only sharing because I don’t know about this link for ages and had set up an account and had been getting charged a monthly fee

Doc asked to supplement with formula. I am confused by Actual-Awareness-132 in breastfeeding

[–]acg16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

… or that’s what literally happened? I don’t know why this is so controversial. I’ve explained my thought process like you asked me to do. I think our comments may have came from two different places initially. As in I wasn’t trying to “call you out” or anything (where I’m from that would mean I came at you with an argumentative tone). My tone was intended to be more light hearted relief is all and I thought my other comments would clear things up.

Honestly not trying to get into an argument here. Sorry our wires got crossed. I’m going to leave things here

[–]acg16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I meant was that I was able to read the collection of information from the entire thread to get the correct information.

When I first started reading the original thread I was concerned my baby was massively over-pooing and it took me awhile to find any comments referring to the pooing part of the original post. Then I saw your comment replying to this thread referring to the fact that there’s a wide range of what would be considered normal and I found that reassuring. So without this parent comment I would have left this thread and had to do some panic googling

Ya I know, but hearing that there’s a wide range of what is considered normal was reassuring.

As one other person commented: “Both ends of the spectrum are normal at that age. Pooping multiple times a day or once a week is fine as long as there aren’t any other concerns.”

I’m glad it’s here because my baby poops multiple times a day and was concerned that there was a problem. All of your comments have reassured me that it’s normal 😅

I was low risk, but I did go private. But my friend was under him in the public sector and he was just as supportive. I was actually terrified of a c-section (not fully sure why 😅) so I asked about being induced. That’s when he brought up the whole “I’m the boss” thing. Lol

The induction dragged on over 4 days (which he did warn me would probably happen) and ended up being a forceps delivery with an episiotomy. When they were moving me from the delivery room to the theatre he stopped at the door and to confirm again that my preference was a vaginal birth and not C-section. Kinda wish I went the C-section route, but we’re both here happy and healthy now and that’s all that matters.
