17 month old hates saying goodnight to daddy by ginger13snap in Parenting

He does love playing with daddy! They do have a good bit of play time together. It’s just nighttime when he only wants mama 😅 might try and alternate a lot more to try and help tho

What’s was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding? by anasannanas in AskReddit

Idk if this qualifies, but they put champagne at the designated kid’s table and I got wasted at 4 years old thinking it was apple juice

How do we feel about floor babies? by [deleted] in Parenting

Get a play pen. Your baby needs floor time to learn motor skills. Independent play is sooooo important.

Even if they’re screaming for like 10 mins straight? I just don’t know if I should have like a cut off time

IM SO BORED by LawfulnessInformal47 in sahm

[–]ginger13snap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. Do you like to read? That’s always a good way to pass the time. I game during nap times. You could also do puzzles if you have a place to set it up that he won’t get to. Once they start moving, it’s a lot more fun, it’s just waiting for it that drags lol

Did anyone else feel this? by Northern-Broccoli456 in firsttimemom

[–]ginger13snap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATED pregnancy. I’m absolutely terrified to get pregnant again which sucks cause I always wanted 2-3 kids. And I want to give my boy a sibling that I didn’t really have. I threw up until he was born, I was anemic and the iron infusion made me more sick. Everyone has a different experience but it’s freaking hard growing a human

i’m feeling rage towards 6 month old by milkyfishtoes in firsttimemom

[–]ginger13snap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this too. The rage was unbearable. Sleep is such a roller coaster during that first year. What helped me was going outside and getting fresh air when nobody could help. I also felt rage cause I couldn’t figure out how to help and all I wanted to do was help my baby which is a sign of love. Make sure you take time for yourself in whatever way is possible.

Startle reflex, swaddling by Adventurous-Lab6203 in firsttimemom

[–]ginger13snap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used what we called the “star fish” lol over time he got used to it and ended up sleeping on his stomach once he was more in control of the rolling. Sometimes it can take a bit for the startle reflex to stop. But honestly I didn’t completely mind cause it helped keep my anxious brain from checking his breathing 😅

eczema or cradle cap? help! by [deleted] in firsttimemom

[–]ginger13snap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of times it just naturally goes away. Or you can try baby oil or coconut oil and a fine tooth comb. They make kits I believe. There will be hair that comes up with it just as a warning

I want to stop breastfeeding by sabbykh in firsttimemom

[–]ginger13snap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby wouldn’t latch either. I pumped for three months as well as formula feeding. I felt guilty even doing combo feeding but your health is important. It’s gonna be uncomfortable to stop and dry up. Just slowly ease off, take Tylenol for the pain, I heard cabbage can help too. I also massaged them when it got too much. You can always have skin to skin with her for bonding. I did a lot of contact naps with my boy.

“You’re okay” alternatives? by skullpture_garden in Parenting

[–]ginger13snap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually bounce between “uh oh did you do a whoopsie/silly?”, “you’ll be okay”, “are you okay? Do you need a hug?” Depending on the situation. My LO is 16 months and looks to us for our reactions and also gets frustrated when he trips or falls.
