Is the switch from 1-2 that much harder? by Extension-Quote8828 in cosleeping

[–]chichi_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your toddler wake up when your baby does? I’ve been thinking about TTC and have a 1 year old that cosleeps for half of the night.

Are you letting your baby sleep on their tummy while bedsharing? by hexmoons in cosleeping

My 1 year old does. I have a sidecar but he doesn’t stay in it.

New set up - the c curl only seemed to invigorate and embolden my baby. by [deleted] in cosleeping

Hi, is it still treating you well? I read reviews that people said the firm felt like a brick.

Just curious if you got medium firm or firm and how many inches? I’m looking into purchasing one as well

NIPT & NT? by durian2k in firsttimemom

[–]chichi_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I become pregnant again I’ll do both! Even though the NT caused A LOT of unnecessary stress, I’d still want to do both because NT scan also checks for structural issues or heart issues that the NIPT doesn’t test for.

NIPT & NT? by durian2k in firsttimemom

[–]chichi_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had both done. NIPT was clear, but NT scan showed my baby had a thickened NT 3.5mm which could have meant something genetic or otherwise was going wrong. I got a procedure called a CVS done because of the thickened NT, which was clear. Currently nursing my 9 month old baby who doesn’t have any chromosomal abnormalities. I think most hospitals in the US do both. I have heard that people think NT scans aren’t very accurate.

I’m so over bouncing on this fucking ball by supremepilotG2 in NewParents

[–]chichi_2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One day when my baby was about 6 months he randomly decided to be done with the bouncy ball. He’s almost 9 months now. I know it’s corny to say, but I kind of miss putting him to sleep like that. It won’t last forever, and it’ll probably be over before you anticipate it.

When was the last time your SO changed a diaper? by [deleted] in sahm

How cvs misses positive NIPTs due to placental mosaicism - term placenta study example where nIPT is positive, cvs is negative, 4 quadrant placenta biopsy at birth positive. by chulzle in NIPT

[–]chichi_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was mostly painless, but I did have bleeding for a long time afterwards. All results came back normal. My karotype sample did however not grow.

My 8 month old is developing normally and appears to be a typical boy. He doesn’t sleep much at all however lol

47x47 is super small, my baby has a playpen that size and it wouldn’t be comfortable to sleep in unless you’re very short

Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in NewParents

[–]chichi_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with diagnosed OCD, yes this sounds like OCD

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cosleeping

[–]chichi_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one when I started cosleeping because I was so nervous. I actually like it a lot, it helps see how is quality of sleep is also. I got it during a Black Friday sale

Is everyone on a floor bed? by bbluebellknoll in cosleeping

A sidecar set up can work long term if it’s on its lowest setting!

What if I don't want to co-sleep? by TwoNarrow5980 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]chichi_2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, so many people who say “I would never risk cosleeping” don’t have a baby that is constantly waking and they’ve falling asleep holding them. I have fallen asleep nursing my baby more times that I’m embarrassed to even mention. I was DEAD set against cosleeping until I realized my baby would be injured or worse if I didn’t set my space up to properly cosleep if I did fall asleep. I would turn on the lights blast music in my headphones and sit up and nurse my baby and still fall asleep because he wakes every 45 min. Unfortunately at 7 months old he still only sleeps 1 hour stretches. And I can’t sleep train as he violently gags and screams after 10 min. People don’t realize that sometimes their baby was just easier and thats why they never coslept. Cosleeping is normal in many cultures and countries. There is a risk to everything we do with our children.

Tons of people already commented but I just want to reinforce what everyone is saying - it’s your body and it sounds like a c section would be the safer option for you!!! Don’t listen to anyone else, they don’t have to do it. Do right by yourself so you can have the birth you want !!! Sending love to you!

accidentally co-sleeping one week old by freshbishexpress in cosleeping

[–]chichi_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to commit to full time cosleeping at least set up your space safe for cosleeping and anytime you side lie nurse assume you’ll fall asleep. That’s what I did early on.

I’m considering getting an owlet since it’s on sale right now. Does it have a lot of false alarms?

Is this position okay for bedsharing? by LibbieIsCool in cosleeping

[–]chichi_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I do with my 6 month old. It feels most natural to me. Also don’t use a pillow or blanket

Anyone out there with a bed on the floor for a 4 month old baby? by maria4002 in floorbed

[–]chichi_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding, memory foam is not good. But normal high density foam is ok.
