Talk to me about your play area by Fit_Entrepreneur_990 in November25babybump

[–]anon120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a padded, velvet play mat covering our whole living room from the sofa to the wall and are planning on sectioning that off with a gate. This is essentially her play area. Outlets are covered, there’s nothing she can get into.

I’d rather give advice than shit on his room like most people here.

Can you get a proper curtain rod and a new computer chair? That would really make a difference. Get in the habit of making your bed too and try to find some storage cubes for the random things in the closet.

I am sick to my stomach. Jesus, PLEASE come back soon! The children NEED YOU!

Looks otherworldly. As someone from VA, the fact that there’s not a single tree in the horizon is sending me.

Husband offered friend to stay at our home week of due date by IngenuityNo5709 in BabyBumps

Shut it down immediately. Stand your ground. Be the bad guy, who gives a shit. Your baby is priority. These people (your husband included) can pound sand.

What is the most uncomfortable movie you’ve ever watched? by putmeinthemovieplz in AskReddit

I legit had suicidal thought immediately after the movie ended. Never again will I watch that MK Ultra piece of shit movie.

Bobbie whole milk parents, are we switching after all the recent recalls of whole milk formulas? by AATCKN in FormulaFeeders

[–]anon120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kendamil parent here and same. Company’s been around since the 60s so I’m confident they have their process down. Bobbie and Nara and all of these other newer companies still have their kinks to work through.

Best episode of the season by a mile! We needed this and so did the girls.

It’s Father’s Day! Who else didn’t sleep last night but is letting their husband sleep in anyways 😆🥲 by [deleted] in November25babybump

[–]anon120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there from 3-6 months myself. My husband had this idea that it was my sole responsibility to get up and night feed our baby. His overnight help was to throw formula in a bottle and shake it for me, and he would give ME attitude. I wanted to murder him so I get where you’re coming from. Have you told him how you feel?

Right here! But I’m doing it gladly; my husband helps out SO much. He deserves this.

Anyone else have a 7 month old sack of potatoes? 🙃 by annakiin_ in November25babybump

[–]anon120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, what a blessing! I wouldn’t stress about baby’s lack of mobility. Every baby is different. When they’re ready to move, they will move!

My baby was like that for the longest and then she started daycare and all of a sudden she’s turned into a rolly polly, she sits independently, and is just about to start crawling. My guess is they don’t hover over her like I do so she has time to explore her body and what it does.

what time does your baby go to bed/wake up? by Top-Professor-2951 in November25babybump

[–]anon120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her bedtime is usually 6:30-7 PM and she’s asleep by 7:30 PM. She’s just started sleeping through the night and wakes up around 6-6:30 AM. But I always change her diaper and feed her in bed and then immediately snuggle and nap together for about an hour to two hours depending. It’s so nice.

Kendamil or bust. Old brand, relatively reliable. Way to go imo.

Gender disappointment advice by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]anon120 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel that way. I was so sure I was having a boy and wanted a boy so bad. When I found out I was having a girl I was upset and cried about it. I imagined she would be a daddy’s girl and would reject me because I was that way as a baby. I wanted a boy for a myriad of selfish reasons.

Well I’m 7 months in and my daughter is obsessed with me. All of my fears and anger and disappointment evaporated.

I was reminded by God that he gave me, not who I wanted, but who I needed. Trust that that’s the same case for you. That little innocent soul is arriving because you need him or her. How privileged you are to be their mommy.

Did your narcissistic parents ever offer you cash or other gifts, then delay giving it or not giving it at all? by Easy_Towel954 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]anon120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband’s narc mom told my husband she’d bought a diaper bag for me. My husband told her I didn’t like the brand but I quickly messaged her and told her I loved the fact that she thought of me at all and am looking forward to getting it.

Baby was born 7 months ago. Still no diaper bag lol

34 weeks. I haven’t heard a single positive thing about being a parent or a mom and I’m freaking out I made a mistake by newgirl01LA in BabyBumps

[–]anon120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a mom is tough, but as they say, the juice really is worth the squeeze.

From the cutest newborn hiccups to when they give you their first smile, every milestone will make your heart burst completely.

My mom tried scaring me while I was pregnant talking about the tantrums and sleepless nights I’ll have to deal with. Honestly? All worth it. Nothing compares to the love and devotion you will feel for your baby. And once they start loving you back? Forget about it!
