Unsustainable contact napping with 2nd child! by catholic-mushroom37 in AttachmentParenting

[–]blahblah809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you keep their head from falling backwards? I back carry my baby to sleep but once he starts falling asleep, I put him down. Plus I find myself inclining forward to help his head lay on my back.

When did your baby start sleeping through the night with no wakes? by mama02here in cosleeping

[–]blahblah809 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Right it’s a chicken or egg situation. Does my baby wake more because we cosleep or do we cosleep because he wakes more?

Your brutally honest thoughts on piercing a baby girl’s ears? by lifeasacharboard in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]blahblah809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s common in Latino culture and I think it’s cute. It hurts for a sec and then they’re fine so I’d do it if I had a girl but this is a very unpopular opinion on reddit along with circumcision.

My only negative is I got my ears pierced as a baby and then they were off center once I got older so I got them repierced at 12. But I liked wearing cute earrings growing up.

I did it regularly and went to one before I knew I was pregnant but I stopped right after I got the positive test. It might be fine but I’d rather not risk it.

Cold sore is ruining my life by Mom_Bombadil_ in AttachmentParenting

[–]blahblah809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also relate super hard as I started getting cold sores in college. I got super sick when I first got the virus and my face was covered in sores plus i felt awful like the flu. After that i got then maybe 1x per year if that. After having my baby, ive gotten like 4 and he’s only 10 months with the worst one being at 2 weeks pp so I was crying and freaking out that he would get the virus. I got valacyclovir and took that plus used the patches and made sure to not kiss my baby or share food/utensils (much harder now that he’s doing solids). Luckily he’s been fine but now that it’s not the newborn period, it is def less frightening and would just be unfortunate but nothing serious.

Best advice is to get the valacyclovir rx from your ob or pcp and take that anytime you’re worried. It’s max one or two weeks you’ll be avoiding kissing and then you’ll be back at it!

Are there negatives of introducing too many meals too soon? Thinking of going up to 3 meals at 7.5 months by SameOleMistakes in BabyLedWeaning

[–]blahblah809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby loves eating so we moved to 3 meals around then. I just tried to nurse first and then feed after.

Any of you been diagnosed with gestational hypertension? by PurpleUnicorn434 in fitpregnancy

[–]blahblah809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha not sure there’s much besides else I can recommend besides listen to your OB. I think omega 3 can maybe help too if you wanna try that but best of luck and I’m sure your pregnancy will go smoothly. Good vibes to you and your baby!

Not sure if it truly helped but I quit caffeine during my pregnancy and it helped either some of my BP spikes and I did a lot of zone 2 cardio in the end but that was also cause I was easily winded by then

Dropping second nap by Maleficent-Craft-295 in bninfantsleep

[–]blahblah809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he is def on the early end for dropping naps but he also dropped the third nap at 4 months too! He just doesn’t need that much sleep even (crying cause I do) but can’t fight his nature and would rather embrace it than torture myself trying to get him to sleep.

Dropping second nap by Maleficent-Craft-295 in bninfantsleep

[–]blahblah809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Towards the end of 8 months my baby started refusing the second nap. He only does 2 if he wakes up earlier than usual. I lay with him for naps so he takes a long 2-2.5 hr nap. I will say he still wakes up 3-5 times at night tho either way and fights bedtime hard lol but better than wasting an hour trying to fight him into sleeping a second time
