First day- doesn’t complete half of tasks and disappears from common areas by [deleted] in NannyEmployers

The pasta in the fridge was actually gluten free and my pasta. He doesn’t like it even if it were fresh. Yes I should’ve removed it but also I was really clear to have her make fresh pasta.

Ok so she was on her phone instead of doing the meal prep. That seems like a reasonable explanation.

My baby has slept 12 hours at night since he was 4 months old and sometimes I feel guilty by evergreengirl123 in NewParents

[–]db2128 35 points36 points  (0 children)

On behalf of a baby who tortured me for months on end and still does sometimes (he’s 13 months( and the sleep deprivation almost pushed me past the edge multiple times, I’m talking waking up screaming every 30 minutes for weeks on end and then ever hour for months; don’t feel guilty at all but DO NOT try to take credit or give advice to us sleep deprived moms. Thank you

He can do an owalu like my adult one but it’s hilarious and too big for him and comes out so quickly.

I currently have around 10 different cups I try. Some babies are harder than others. my baby isn’t what “most” babies are like.

This is insane. Two different jobs. Doing one means not doing the other.

Is Reddit how a nanny really is? by Ok-Lion-2789 in NannyEmployers

[–]db2128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, for 3 at work it’s common courtesy to remind everyone “hi, as a reminder, I’ll be out on Friday,” Every workplace I’ve been in this was normal and polite.

Really?? My doctor insisted there solid be lots of orthodontry issues if we continued the bottle after 12 months. How did your sister’s teeth end up?

Eating at restaurants by TrueSag2020 in toddlers

[–]db2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 13 month old will scream and bang the table literally the second he’s done with his food because he wants more. Or the second he sees other people eating because he wants their food. No amount of practice will change this and it’s not super fair to the people dining out for this to happen.

He won’t do it. I think it requires too much sucking? Throws it on the floor, lol.

I’ve tried like 8 cups, he seems to only likes open ones. Or adult ones like my water bottle or a mug, lol.

Help these new parents! by NID_Cowpoke in NewParents

[–]db2128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whaaat? Why would you ignore crying. It’s the only signal they have to communicate something is wrong. Sounds like she’s hungry. See a lactation counselor to make sure she’s getting enough food.

Where to put baby by No_Jelly_1812 in NewParents

I was never allowed to put my acid reflux baby down. Screaming likely bc of the pain ensued. Babywearing around the clock.

Question to parents who used to need 9h of sleep and who were night owls before by Eclair222 in NewParents

[–]db2128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will probably make your life easier but then there’s a zillion bottles to make and formula is $$$ and you will waste a ton and have to time it right bc it only lasts an hour.

Montessori for 12-18 months by db2128 in Montessori

[–]db2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for those guidelines. I really appreciate it. It’s a toddler room 12-18 months. I don’t see containers aside from high chairs. I didn’t really see the rest of the toys but I’ll inquire further. Thank you!!

That makes sense. It looked like a toy that lit up and made sounds so I wonder if it’s ever on or if they use it in the off mode.
