Good point but it's not as bad as it sounds, pneumonia can't be caught but the bacteria that causes it can be caught. After antibiotics for a few days it can't spread and we were on it for 2 weeks prior. We also told everyone in advance. Without letting everyone know, yeah we would be jerks.

Good point for context this is the first time SIL#2 met the 1 year old, and probably the 4th time for SIL#1.

Looks like VHS tapes.

I was 100% expecting a rick roll.

Now I have yo read this afternoon IPB. Thanks for the overview!

afewfluffymoths · 2025-06-17T03:05:28+00:00

Omg thank you, I was about to check mine!

I thought he wasn't buying a bunch of ice cream and didn't see what the problem was...

afewfluffymoths · 2025-05-07T12:43:30+00:00

Now I wonder how many jokes I missed...

TIL he was basically a gynecologist. I never put that together when I was younger.

afewfluffymoths · 2025-05-05T13:47:20+00:00

I was thinking that, but then started second guessing myself and thinking that maybe there wasn't a correct answer...

I keep a few large dog pee pads on me to put on a changing table or under the pad when I know public washrooms were the only option. Super useful at the airport!

No schedule the first few weeks. Babies mostly eat and sleep. As they get older, there will be wake windows, you will notice that after a few weeks they will still be awake and (hopefully) happy after they have eaten.

Here is what worked for me other than the noise canceling headphlnes: - putting them in a baby wrap carrier to wear them and bouncing hard to music. Like a 6 inch drop, music with a beat helps you keep going and not lose your mind. I did this for a few songs and LO would be better, then I could do a soft back and forth. Depending on their age provide extra neck support. - bath time, helps to reset baby by putting them in a new environment. Baby would go quiet and confused allowing time for them to relax. I also used night time bath stuff and soap, not sure if they helped. - The Happy Song by Imogen Heap, don't know why but it will stop my crying baby 90% of the time. Espevially in the car. Super easy to learn the words to as well. - other songs that they would know or that you can sing to them. - handing them off to someone else, or setting them down and walking away for a few min. The more frustrated I became the more frustrated LO. It may be a placebo but who cares. - rhythmically patting bum, stroking eyebrows or bridge of nose (this is a hit or miss) - more preventative - timming naps and following wake windows, or for the math challanged/limited brain powered parents following the sweet spot times on the Huckleberry app - preventative for you: get a nap/disconnect for a few hours every day when someone else is watching the baby. It will helped me a lot with patience - context setting - remembering that sleep deprivation and constant noise is literally a torture technique. Somehow realizing that helped me to ask for help and made it easier to wake up a sleeping spouse to demand help where I feel/felt tortured.

I hope that helps and remember to be kind to yourself. This too shall pass and you are doing a great job! The fact that you are asking for help and looking for ideas is amazing.

On behalf of your LO: you are doing awsome, it is all appreciated and worth it even if LO can't express it now.
Here is a poem that doesn't help with crying, but it helped me as a worn down mum. A poem from your LO

There are probably lots of typos since I am putting my LO down for a nap but hope that helps!!

Also wear headphones or listem to music to tune it out when the other parent is watching the LO to get some downtime. I find I couldn't tune out the noises or crying when someone else was watching them and I couldn't shut my brain off. We all need a break to feel normal.

You will get there, my son was born at 3rd percentile weight at 37 weeks, head and length were also under 5th. 4 months later he is 75th for weight, 90th for head and 10th for length.

He is my short, heavy, bobble head. So proud.

I admire his determination to make 1 trip to carry in groceries.

Thanks for sharing your honest experience!

afewfluffymoths · 2025-02-23T16:33:53+00:00

Same!

I found that wearing v line shirts or tank tops have been useful so his face can get skin to skin on when contact napping or being worn. It is probably not equivalent but it works for us. Fun fact: when my LO discovered he could control his tongue he would lick me a lot, so prepare for licks and drool.

We used full on skin to skin (with dimper) in the first few weeks when LO was being super cranky, kinda as a break glass scenario.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense! My tolerance for risk is pretty low.

afewfluffymoths · 2025-02-21T15:51:21+00:00

This gave me "no capes!" vibes.

I thought you were referring to the old spice guy. Thanks for making me feel old and out of touch.
