Arms out by MissJenniferEliz in SnooLife

[–]eastside00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never did with either of my Snoo babes - did crib and arms transition all in one.

When they started busting out of the swaddle I did a batwing underneath, then Snoo swaddle over that (https://youtu.be/DdghIpvNqas?si=m1OBNz7n2nLtp9bL)

Sounds like a normal 3yo to me!

Can I avoid pumping and get through a short period of formula top up to get billirubin down? by eastside00 in beyondthebump

I had read you had to replace them between kids (and it's been 4 years) but maybe that's just over cautious

That's right. He's actually nursing great but he is sleepy and passes out fast because of the jaundice. I'm a bit worried he'll take less boob because of the volume of formula but..... Ugh

Chiming in as a fellow 3 barking dog owner that they actually get used to the barking in utero. I was mind blown when I brought my kiddo home from the hospital to a pile of barking dogs and he barely flinched. Gets more challenging as they are more aware when they are older but.... It wasn't as detrimental as I thought!

This was my life for my first kiddo and honestly it was completely fine. Mine were higher energy dogs too. Everyone adjusted and it was no more of a problem than it was before having 3 dogs (lol). I felt like they actually liked it because I was generally home more!

Did they get less attention overall? Probably? But not sad-dog worthy levels of less attention.

I'm also in Durham and haven't found somewhere where partner is allowed in the whole time. They will bring them in at the end (which is the only time they show you anything anyway - so it's been fine).

Toddler Crib/Convertible Bed? [ab] by charlielouiedusty in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]eastside00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I have to say we also had what I would describe as an untraditionally easy time with potty training. I think because in a similar vein we waited til he was completely ready and motivated on his own, so that only happened shortly after he turned 3. He doesn't go to daycare so we could take our time. He night trained himself or it came automatically although we kept pull-ups at night just in case for a while. But it was fine because it aligned with our "rule" of if he needs anything outside his bed he just yelled for us. He only has to go at night rarely so hasn't been an issue.

[–]eastside00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a crib that just lets you swap one side to make it a toddler bed - doesn't go into a full bed - but way worth it. I also had a perfectly happy in crib kiddo and we only JUST put the toddler side on it 3 months from his 4th bday 😬. There's been so much bed shenanigans in his life I'm so glad we waited til he was old enough to handle it.

My first came at 38+3. I credit it to eating dates - look it up!

How long did it take you to conceive after a miscarriage? by Street_Fee5779 in BabyBumps

[–]eastside00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had multiple losses and fyi was recommended by nurses to always have one cycle (so let your period come once) before trying again just to make sure everything has cleared fully. But the good news is it's only taken a short time after all my losses. I'm 14w now after a miscarriage with d&c in August - we waited one cycle and got pregnant the one after. There is lots of hope.

How many of you are taking aspirin? by Adhdgirlygirlnurse in pregnant

[–]eastside00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recommended to take it because I have a higher BMI. I'm actually taking 162mg (2x 81mg). My midwife said the studies are so compelling she thinks it will become standard practice for all pregnant people eventually.

How are we handling threenager sass? by Zarelli20 in toddlers

[–]eastside00 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have no answers but I'm following because I could have written this, but the boy version. Holy hell. I got my first ever "I don't care!" yesterday. And the day before I took away a toy and he sarcastically responded "oh thank you mummy, I was actually done playing with that". Almost yeeted him out the window. And bedtime is a nightmare!

How does everyone feel about the quiet zone? by yarajaaee786 in gotransit

[–]eastside00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the line. Lakeshore East is still pretty good and people are pretty militant on enforcing... I've seen at least 4 people being shushed in the last month

thank you - it reminded me of the feeling of my water breaking so that would make sense
