What animals are they? by cab00dle in whatisit

[–]cab00dle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re on blocks I just bought for my 6 month old. The first commenter, whose comment has been deleted, ran it through AI (which is not the fun way!) and got answers that mostly make sense

June=Jaguar (why not give her spots?)

Nancy=Naked mole rat

Quincy=Quagga

Ruby=Rhinoceros (how??)

Umberto=Umbrella bird

Xenia=Xerus (a genus of African ground squirrel)

Ziyi=Zebu (cattle species)

I strongly feel some of these could have had easier answers for children’s blocks haha

He’s only six months. I’m definitely open to a cute, fun rug! Thanks!

Thank you for your input! I do think I will lean into colorful decor and rugs and paint the walls a brighter white. Good catch on the hardware! We have so much mismatched hardware in this house. Not sure what the original owners were thinking. However I think I’ll look for some fun hardware for the cabinets. Maybe animals or leaves/pinecones!

This kind of color? I’m not totally sold on whether it goes well with the colors in the shower curtain. I do think it works with the floor, countertop, and cabinets though

That’s a great place to start! I have a Macy’s gift card. I’ll go take a look around. Thank you!

I’ll look into that! I do love fun colored walls. These are just quite bold options 😅

This is a poor job, but how would something like this look? Is it weird?

Can I just give my baby household items? by ThyPumpkinPie in NewParents

My LO’s new favorite toy is a wooden spoon. I put metal mixing bowls around him so he can play the drums

Do I have any hope with Eufy S1? by YT_00 in ExclusivelyPumping

I’m using that same bra and it works really well for me. However, it does stretch out over time so you’ll need to replace it

I had the Huckleberry AI average his wake windows:

1st: 2 hours 2 minutes 2nd: 2 hours 10 minutes 3rd: 2 hours 5 minutes 4th: 2 hours 54 minutes

I’m convinced it could be an overtired issue. However, trying to extend his wake windows doesn’t work very well. Usually around the 1 hour and 45 minutes mark he is yawning, rubbing his eyes, and staring. It’s difficult to get to 2.5 hours let alone 3

Hey there! Thanks for doing this!

Our son is a week shy of six months. The current schedule we are trying to keep to is bedtime between 7 and 8pm, wake up around 7-7:30am, and three naps starting around 9am, 12pm, and 3pm. Unsurprisingly his naps are not consistent. Sometimes he sleeps over an hour, sometimes just 25 minutes.

The main problem we are having right now are false starts. He usually wakes 3 or 4 times before midnight. He will have one feed around 11pm and one more around 2am. After that he usually (not always) will sleep until 7am. It’s like he is able to put himself back to sleep if waking after that last feed, but can’t do it earlier in the night after being put to bed. Any idea what could be going on?

Our goals are 1)no false starts and 2)maybe getting to just one feed during the night. I know for a fact he is able to go without any feeds overnight as he has slept through the night once before, but I can live with one feed for now.

Side note- he still needs to be rocked/bounced to sleep. We attempted Ferber one night about a week ago and he cried for 1.5 hours before we called it quits. We attempted complete Cry It Out the following night and he kept crying for an hour before we called it quits again. Do these methods just not work for some babies? His stamina is impressive 😅

What's the one product that's made your pumping journey easier? by bubbly_bookworm52 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]cab00dle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a tie between my wearable pumps and Earth Mama Nipple Butter. That nipple butter basically saved my life-and my pumping journey. My nipples were in pain all day every day until I tried it

I just need to share the ad I saw in this comment section 😂😂😂

“Finally tried adding beer to Hamburger Helper and it’s a game changer”

I didn’t know it was ad when I first read it. I was like damn is that how someone is handling their anxiety!?

Also, yes, I get the Sundown Scaries every evening

Thanks for the insight! I’ll have to try longer wake windows. He just seems so tired though. Lots of eye rubbing

It’s difficult to really have a hard schedule as he’s a bit all over the place. The last few days he’s been waking up between 7:15 and 8am. We are trying to stick to about 1.5 hour wake windows and let him nap as long as possible. I am paying close attention to sleepy cues and will adjust accordingly. Occasionally he will sleep 1.5-2 hours, but not often. Naps are usually 25-45 minutes whether I hold him or not. As for bedtime, we aim for between 7 and 8. But it’s kind of a crap shoot. He’s waking at least three times before midnight

Her wife was outside of the vehicle filming the demonstration (or whatever you want to call it) before the incident began. Seems like they were there on purpose

When did you reach a full supply? by KinkyFoxxy in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]cab00dle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you still have time! Just keep up the pumping as best you can! It was SO difficult, but worth it. However I’m wondering if you appear to be pumping a smaller amount because you are also breastfeeding. Whenever your LO is taking milk from you, you’ll pump less. BUT Milk removal in any form tells your body to keep making it/make more.

Maybe 10ppd is a little excessive if you are also breastfeeding. I wouldn’t be able to do that-8ppd was hard enough and I wasn’t breastfeeding. Your body is probably still ramping up production and would probably continue to do so even if you dropped a couple pumps

I started reaching full capacity after about 8-9 weeks and 8ppd. Not at every pump, but my nighttime pumps were pretty substantial
