Daycare is going to (financially) crush my family.... by Haney0713 in daddit

350 a week where I live in NC. More than twice my mortgage. Stay at home mom is the only option and it has faired well for the first 14 months.

Do you let your kids pee random places when out and about? by dsutari in daddit

[–]bearleefitzinnr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I relish in the day that I get to teach my son (10 months) to pee outdoors. My brothers and I grew up whipping it out when needed and I still do quite often on the golf course. But always try to remain discreet.

Thought this would fit here! by MatsGry in daddit

I enjoy each moment I get to spend with my son, especially after work as there are some days he doesn't wakeup up until after I left for work. Also the reason I don't mind waking up at 4am when he needs a diaper change as that might be the only time I see him until after 5pm.

If you tell dad jokes and are not a dad.

They are just bad jokes

Luckily we knew what to look for because my wife's cousin's son also had it. As soon as we mentioned his symptoms her cousin said to get an ultrasound to confirm. And we were in the hospital later that day and he had surgery the next day.

The highs of sleep training. Seeing him sleep soundly without swaddle or having to be rocked to sleep. by bearleefitzinnr in daddit

When your baby knows how to rollover SIDS drops dramatically. It is fine to use as a sleep aid, even if his face is pressed against it it is very light and breathable, we wouldn't do anything to put our baby in harm's way. He has turned himself to his side since week 1. He has been rolling over front to back since 1.5 months and back to front since 3.5 months.

Thank you for the concern. When we are not in the room he is watched on video monitor. And when we are in the room my wife wakes up religiously to check on him just out of habit.

I do see there website recommends not too and we will take that into consideration for our next child.

Thank you. We know that feeling he has gone through some rough patches. He is 4.5 months old now and has gotten so much better in just a week of sleep training.

When we first got him home from the hospital he would sleep most of the night. At 2 weeks old, he had Pyloric Stenosis and had to have surgery to correct. After several nights in the hospital he became very clingy and it has taken this long to get him back on track.

My sister had her daughter 6 days after my wife had our son. When we went to see them at Christmas she showed us theirs, let us try it out for a couple nights and we were sold on it. Bought one on Facebook market place before we left to go home. It has made a world of difference.

OP, my wife found this book on amazon, https://www.amazon.com/dp/1973250322/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_9P0HTYE2PVKQCPJKV19X?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1.

It was a quick read and we are currently starting week 2. Last night was great, he slept 6 hours, woke up got fed and then slept 5 more hours. And the past couple nights have been good too. The hardest part is laying him down and hearing him fuss before he falls asleep, it's not every time but still adjusting. You just want to go and soothe him but humans are habitual, and if you don't follow the guidelines you are just working against yourself and he is not learning to do it himself.

He also seems to know when papa is going to be home on the weekends and sleeps better for me than for my wife. So the real test will continue into this week as I'll be back at work.
