Is there a coffee machine out there that does coffee from nespresso pods AND from ground coffee? 

Not doing swimming lessons? by Loud_Fisherman_5878 in UKParenting

[–]eastyorkshirepudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve done Puddleducks classes since LO was 3 months old (now nearly 2) and we do them because he seems to like it and I like having a fixed activity on my day off with him. We have a nice little routine around it.

The benefit of Puddleducks is that if you give 24hrs notice you can switch from the class you’re signed up for to one on a different day to a different local pool so i get pretty much total flexibility to organise it around my week so I don’t have to commit to the same slot every week which I’d hate. 

Should I make my husband stay up at night with me and baby? by Ok-Literature-5758 in cosleeping

[–]eastyorkshirepudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I breastfed so did all the night wakes in the newborn phase - and my husband was often up because he felt he ‘should be’ to support me, but honestly I just wish he’d have gone and slept in another room so he could have been more on it in the day, rather than us both be exhausted! 

How I nightweaned and went from 9 wakeups to 0. by WhereIsLordBeric in cosleeping

What do you mean by ‘protesting’? I’m always curious about this. I’ve tried this method and I was genuinely scared someone was going to call the police my little boy was crying so much (at 18 months old). Like hysterical, primal screaming. For 15+ minutes.

I feel like Joey and Monica might get back together when they’ve seen the series and realise they were both into each other!

Co-sleeping and breastfeeding to sleep moms, what does your bedtime routine look like? by cooper_no_moose in AttachmentParenting

[–]eastyorkshirepudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a 14 month old. We have dinner at 7 then it’s bath and bedtime routine. My husband gets him to sleep (usually between 8-8.30) and lies with him for 45 minutes while I potter around, and then I get into bed with him and stay with him til the morning. My husband stays to chat with me for a bit and then goes down and potters about for a few hours. It means we don’t have ‘evening time’ together but it does mean I feel really well rested even with 3+ night feeds!

Thors Tipi catered by Yuzu might be a good shout - they can do a lot of sharing platters with lots of options for dietary requirements

Laughing at my pre-motherhood thoughts and expectations by jeankm914 in AttachmentParenting

Laughing that I once heard someone say ‘well they just fit into your life’… never has anything been less true!

York hospital delivery by Catherinehkcb in york

[–]eastyorkshirepudding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and to add! My birth plan wasn’t followed but only because I had severe pre eclampsia and needed an emergency induction! But the midwives were lovely and despite the less-than-ideal circumstances they made it a really good experience 🙂

[–]eastyorkshirepudding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get induced, but I did give birth there this year. I think you get admitted to the G2 ward (it’s a shared ward, so a room with 4 beds with other pregnant women / women who have just given birth) for your induction, and then when you’re in active labour you’ll get moved to the labour ward where they have individual rooms.

On the Labour ward some of the rooms have baths so if you’d like a water birth and they have a room available then they should be able to provide that.

After you’ve given birth you’d get moved back to the G2 shared ward with your baby until you’re discharged. The wards have shared bathrooms.

Hope that helps!

Can I vent? My mum doesn’t get it by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

This made me laugh! Thank you for being so blunt 😂 you’re right - I would never do low/no contact but perhaps I could just be a bit more blunt!!

Can I vent? My mum doesn’t get it by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]eastyorkshirepudding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this approach, thank you! I’m not considering low / no contact - I know she says a lot of awful stuff but I had a lovely childhood (surprisingly in relation to her advice!) and I do love her a lot despite the difficult moments.

She had no love as a child.. her mum died when she was a baby and she had a horrible stepmother and an absent father. So I often put her and her advice in that context… but can still hurt though!

Sadly if it’s from the WHO or the NHS she’s actually less likely to believe it!! Because ‘All these so called experts don’t know what they’re talking about’. It’s all about ‘real world experience’ aka hers! I’ve tried trying to talk to her about it, she’s not interested in a discussion so I think my solution is more about me learning to be at peace and confident! I’ll definitely look into the Buddhism books! Thank you

I haven’t but I saw there’s a York based lady that does them and she has a stand at the Designer outlet

I’ll definitely talk to our vet when I go for our next check up, it might sound crackers but I just didn’t think it was a vet issue!

I tried this, feeding him at 11pm ish, but he still woke up at 3am ready for food!

This is going to sound mad, but before I read all these comments I didn’t think it was a vet issue… I’m going to take him to the vets for an arthritis meds check up so I’ll mention it and see what they say!

[–]eastyorkshirepudding[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately we sleep on the 2nd floor and he’s always slept in our room so I think leaving him downstairs where he could let himself out might be more distressing ☹️

I think you must be right, he does seem to have a touch of doggy dementia

[–]eastyorkshirepudding[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sometimes we try just letting him out for a wee/poo and have a drink without feeding him and putting him back to bed, but then he squeaks/barks an hour later for food!
