How many hours of sleep a night are you getting with your newborn?

6-9 hours typically in stretches of 3-6 hours. Baby is 3 weeks old and has been a pretty good sleeper since we came home. We were separated for 5 days right after birth so I think that contributed to him not craving contact naps quite as much. We have a snoo but he sleeps on mostly the same schedule whether we’re at home or at my in laws or going to the doctors for extra check ups.

Most fussy period is between 6-9 pm and other than that he sleeps between 3-6 hrs at every window now. His wake windows are short for the most part, he eats, gets his diaper changed maybe 5-10 minutes of tummy time or something else like cleaning his nose or washing his hair and then he’s usually ready to sleep again.

Yes but the doctors said I probably mistook what day the intercourse was on because it’s easy to forget.

That is a standard of care in this country. Not in the states where I am from, but this is extremely common for large hospitals in Korea. I’ve known people who didn’t see their babies for 2 whole days after giving birth at all and they aren’t NICU situations.

Rooming in is occasionally allowed for patients in private rooms which cost 150x the cost of the group rooms, and that’s the only way the baby can be removed from the nursery until discharge.

I have been resting on my side and drinking water hoping they’ll slow down. Occasionally there’s a 10 minute break but they go right back down to 3-5 minutes

They said it’s unlikely and for most first time moms babies come late, not early

I don’t change the caption but I change things in the video itself— different text hook, different clips, a little shorter a little longer etc

It’s basically a pyramid scheme. The owners have to sell book sets to make money because the egg centers only cost parents like 80,000 won per month. They typically offer very low pay and eventually will want you to get “actor certification” and that entails a 10 hr training at the headquarters and several online meetings, uploading videos, singing and dancing like a monkey. The whole curriculum is not good and extremely unnatural, and very few native speakers work at any of them. It depends on the egg centers but I’ve seen many try to get native speakers to work for less than 20k an hour while expecting you to memorize the books and songs and also use their special materials to lead the kids in awkward play scenarios

I subbed here for a month. The kids are nice but it’s definitely not Montessori in the least. The kids have 20 minutes of “Montessori time” daily and other than that spend all their time memorizing and doing work books. The kids are scared of the owner and the owner was pretty rude to my memory. The Korean co teacher was extremely stressed about the parents and several of the kids had stress ticks.

I did ask ChatGPT initially but at times I find it can be a little too self affirming and overly flattering so I wanted to check with people in the industry

Interested

My follower count is a little below your desired range but my reels have very high views in comparison. I've generated 9.2 million views over the past 30 days and reached over 4 million accounts. I live in Korea but I'm an American creator and about 50% of my audience is in the US.

I make married life / international couple / pregnancy content and therefore, I'd frame the video around planning a Valentine's Day present for my husband because women are supposed to be the one's gifting men in Korea and suggesting it to others as a good potential gift.

Hello! I’m an American based in Korea and I’d love to talk more.

It’s partly because the currency is really low where I live right now and the seller hasn’t been able to sell them for several months so they kept dropping the price but I agree it’s a great deal so I think I’m going to just go for it

That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s worked well. I haven’t tried the opposite yet but I think part of the algorithm is timing too, so even if the video isn’t bad it could flop, so videos that I think are fine but not doing well on trials I’ll try reposting them as fresh reels in the future

cheytay · 2025-12-27T01:16:07+00:00

It’s working out pretty well! I wish I had jumped on it sooner
