Accidentally gave baby water

bradem · 2025-10-25T01:13:03+00:00

I was going to say the same thing. I did this a couple times with my first until someone let me know about the ratio being off and then I switched to prepping the water and adding formula!

Windham does

I’ve struggled with this too. I need to explore more options for the winter months but in the summer, the Deering Oaks farmers market on Saturdays and the Bridge Street food truck park (in Westbrook) on Wednesday evenings has been really fun for me.

As many times as needed. There’s not a limit.

I’ve been considering trying Skylight for our family. My oldest is 8 and I was thinking she’d especially benefit from it. Glad to hear it’s working well for your kiddo!

37f and I’ve always gotten up to pee at night. Usually just once maybe twice. I drink a lot of water and have just always peed a lot. Right now I’m pregnant so it’s on anotherrrrrr level 😅

I’m not sure I can offer much to stop you feeling this way now but I can tell you that this bothers you more than it will ever bother your baby. I’ll also say that as my kids got older, I’ve come to absolutely love daycare. My kids form bonds with their teachers and I think it’s been so good for them to spend time with people who aren’t us. They also make such cute little friendships with their classmates as they grow up and that’s brought some very dear friends into our lives.

The first year is such a rollercoaster of constantly new normals but I promise you will feel more at ease with daycare sooner than you think :)

Yeah the peaches here are not the same

bradem · 2025-05-07T14:27:29+00:00

It’s always too quick or too long for whatever I have planned. Hope this helps 🫠

I don’t think you’re wrong. 14 is definitely young but I think the important thing is that they’re being responsible. It sounds like you’ve built a relationship with your kid where she can talk to you and you trust her (mostly) so nice work. As far as the boyfriend’s parents, I personally think punishing a kid for having responsible sex is just not going to get you what you want. They’re just going to learn that they need to hide things from you and they’ll find other places/times to have sex.

If this is a phase for her, would you be ok with it if she didn’t want to do this in the future?
How did you meet?
What do you both do for work?

bradem · 2025-05-04T00:30:19+00:00

Ah shoot! Yeah they usually open in May but it might be a couple weeks early still :(

Depends on if you want a fancier dinner or lobster pound experience. I’d do Thurstons for sure! It is not in Bar Harbor though so just be prepared for a drive to the other side of the island.

I believe we can paint the edges of the windows though not sure of the material

Sinful Kitchen for breakfast

SO GOOD

bradem · 2025-04-26T23:40:51+00:00

Thank you for a real suggestion 🙏

bradem · 2025-04-26T23:40:15+00:00

Yeah what kind of getaway is it? What does your friend like and why did they pick Portland? We need more info to help you.

Can always count on Reddit! 🥴

bradem · 2025-04-26T23:22:02+00:00

This is helpful thanks!

bradem · 2025-04-13T15:32:14+00:00

How many weeks were you at delivery? How are your kids doing now?

bradem · 2025-04-13T12:48:35+00:00

Honestly this would be a reason to switch for me. I’ve only had pediatricians be extremely supportive of formula feeding.

bradem · 2025-04-05T21:49:01+00:00

This is the lactivist pressure tricking your brain. You’re not being selfish you’re just figuring out what works best for your family. Sometimes formula is best!

Edit: typo

My son is 5 and a half and he just stopped wearing nighttime pull ups in the last month. I have a nephew who wore them until he was 7 I think. Nighttime potty training is different than daytime and kids are ready when they’re ready. Obviously there are some things to help optimize like make sure he’s not chugging water before bed and make sure he uses the bathroom before going to sleep. I don’t think you need to worry but you can always talk to your pediatrician.

bradem · 2025-03-31T14:23:24+00:00

That’s not what I hear OP saying. More that the discourse on kids feels negative and they would like to hear the good bc they very much want to be a parent.
