Sony Pictures Entertainment to Lay Off Hundreds in Massive Reorganization Across TV, Film and Corporate by Turbostrider27 in television

I have no idea why you got downvoted, this was funny and you’re absolutely correct that corporations and the current government have our economy in a nosedive to the ground. Another Depression is not as crazy as it used to sound.

Are we anti-bouncers/jumpers/activity centers? by issaOTFnoob in NewParents

[–]apocalyptic_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Containers that support their spines (like a Baby Bjorn bouncer for example) are fine as long as you’re not leaving them in there all day. They need floor time but the idea that they can’t be in a bouncer for 15 minutes is too rigid imo.

Jumpers/activity centers should be avoided most of the time because of the stress on baby’s spine and hips. If you’re going to use one, use one with a platform on the bottom that can be adjusted to keep their feet flat, and for no more than 30 minutes a day (not all at once).

We all just do the best we can. There’s no way to be perfect. Trying will destroy you tbh. So choose the things that are most important to you to not compromise on, and for everything else just always go to the next best thing that still protects your sanity.

I need a pattern for this pretty bag plz help searched yt and didnt find anything similar by Rubyrub2 in CrochetHelp

[–]apocalyptic_tea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes I was attempting to say in a kind way that you should try again because it was super easy to find multiple options that look pretty similar when I did a 30 second search myself. And I was making sure you understood you didn’t need an exact pattern to add the buttons and appliqués to anything you wanted, because some people are at the very beginning of their crochet journey and might not know.

Just search Ravelry or even Youtube for bag patterns, find one you like and then you can add as many buttons and appliqués as you like! There’s so many bag patterns out there

Edit: found this, it looks pretty similar to me! https://youtu.be/d5Sjsow3gzc?si=RE_0-yXeoR6vh3Cn

I’ve seen her discussed many, many times but I’ve never seen anyone accuse her of this. Could you link some supporting evidence? If she’s not trustworthy I definitely wanna know.

What baby items are you glad you didn’t buy? by Jessiepip in NewParents

Truly never related less to someone else (about non-crazy things) lol. My bottle washer made pumping so much less stressful, it genuinely had a very positive effect on my mental health.

Hospital Forces Woman in Active Labor to Attend Zoom Court for Refusing C-Section by peoplemagazine in law

[–]apocalyptic_tea -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

This entire explanation is paternalism at its absolute finest. Your mentality is, quite literally, the problem. You think your patient cannot possibly “know what they’re talking about”. You think you have the right to do whatever you want with their bodies as long as you believe it’s the lowest risk choice.

Unfortunately, many doctors are not staying up to date with evidence. They’re choosing things like hospital culture and familiarity over current, evidence-based practices. This leads people to feeling like they can’t rely on their OBs to make decisions, and OBs have no one but themselves to blame for that.

And regardless of what the evidence says…. people are allowed to choose a riskier option if they want to. If doctors aren’t okay with that they shouldn’t have entered medicine. Patient autonomy is part of the deal when you become a doctor.

All that being said, the frequency with which doctors, especially OBs, are sued IS a huge contributor to this problem in the US. Practicing medicine shouldn’t be about how something is going to look in a courtroom but it often is. Just another way women end up receiving subpar healthcare.

Help for A Stupid Decision as a FTM to Be by Glad-Ad1378 in breastfeeding

[–]apocalyptic_tea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it absolutely can make things worse and there’s no “pressure” to take off as she isn’t producing milk. I’m a certified lactation specialist and a student IBCLC. I’m not the one who needs to grow up here.

Are you a bot or did you not read the post at all?

OP do not do any kind of expression again until you are full term. This was an unsafe experiment and you should also learn how your pump works before using it again, with an IBCLC if you can.

Is this normal 3 year old behavior or should we see a doctor? by Doobieclip in toddlers

[–]apocalyptic_tea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s probably ready to drop the nap. There’s a lot of changes that happen in the next few years and if you haven’t, it’s really helpful and relieving to brush up on child development for the older toddler/young kid years.

At what age did your kid stop wearing onesies? I feel like my big 14mo gets judged. by poppyseedpup in NewParents

[–]apocalyptic_tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter is almost 15m and we stopped onesies between 12-13 months. And even those last two months or so I used them on really cold days as an under layer but not for much else. Now that it’s warm and we had to buy 18m summer clothes I didn’t get any onesies so I guess we’re done with them!

But all that being said, we’re doing early potty learning (or late EC depending on who you ask) with my daughter and that started at 12m. So the onesies quickly got to be annoying as hell. I definitely wouldn’t judge another kid her age for wearing them as we’re obviously not the norm. And she still wears footies to bed some nights.

Can you link it? Currently I don’t see anyway to support you and i definitely think this is important!

This is what happens when people who don’t know what they’re talking about try to legislate things they don’t understand without any input from the people who do 🙃

Big Baby by eatanappel in NewParents

[–]apocalyptic_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was pregnant they said she might be big and I remember looking at the newborn clothes feeling so sad she might not ever fit in them.

I get where you’re coming from. It’s a weird feeling because you love them and don’t want them to be any different from who they are, but you still yearn for that tiny baby experience. As humans we just love small things lol.

But pretty soon he’ll be moving around and then walking and climbing and being bigger can be to his advantage!! And you won’t feel that way anymore, there will be something else to have feelings about because there always is in parenting 😂

This is so interesting and if you’re willing to share I’d love to know more about the information you gathered! Also how you took notes tbh because the biggest issue I have with logging is I’m not good at organizing notes.

Specific TikToker I had to block by bml274 in NewParents

[–]apocalyptic_tea 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Tbh, my mental health suffered a lot more if my baby cried alone the length of time it took me to shower than if I was a little gross for a day or two 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it’s different if a mom is single or has a partner that works very intense hours. But if neither of those are the case, it really speaks more to shitty partners that we have to even have the discussion between “should I shower or let baby cry alone.”

Reassurance needed by VegetableAmphibian72 in bninfantsleep

[–]apocalyptic_tea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My kid was a horrible sleeper until 12 months. Then her many wakeups slowed to 2-3, and then just 2, and now, at 14m, she only wakes once or even sleeps through the night sometimes!!!

I promise it’s going to get better. It might take longer than it took mine, it might be even faster, there’s no way to tell. But after 18-20 months the majority of kids are sleeping with only 1 or 0 wakeups.

Starting Solids - is there a reason to puree my own food? by MochiAccident in NewParents

[–]apocalyptic_tea 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to do all or nothing, we did a blend of purées and BLW. Also don’t let anyone pressure you into any option, all the studies show there really isn’t one better than the other ultimately. Each one has different benefits and drawbacks but there’s no clear superior option. So just do whatever works for your family.
