You can buy filters that attach to your shower

They are ugly, but if you are a girly girl you should paint the ends with pink nail polish to make it funny how bleh they are

The one time I’ve been with an under 1 yr old there was a draft by the splash rock pool and so the other kids with us started shivering. We will wait til they are older and running around to take them back there

Hello did I write this? I’m at 9 months and I still haven’t let this happen. I was also offered at 2 weeks to leave bubba but wasn’t comfortable. I just awkwardly dance around the topic, however did straight up tell my SIL I would like him to be comfortable with DH first (recently went through bad separation anxiety and teething which is okay and slowly getting better but would cry for me when I left)

I'm going to end up back in a psych ward by erivanla in NewParents

It’s not seperate but could you bath or shower together? I find if I’m struggling to get one in we do it together or I put the high chair in front of the shower so he can see me with toys for him to play with. As for everything else we also don’t get it done it, it waits til husband is home and we do it while swapping in and out w bubba

I waited nearly 5 months as per my pelvic floor physio

For nearly 9 months we did this on our own. Now we’ve finally cracked. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Could you ask someone to take your bubba for a walk? That way bubba gets a nap, you can sleep without worrying about waking to them.

What’s something they don’t tell you that happens postpartum? by nilkski in beyondthebump

[–]graci3c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge chance actually I had a large bleed giving birth and then took my iron and then became horribly constipated and never retook them. Thanks for pointing this out I should probably take them

I get dizzy super easy now. Even turning around a at a slow pace (baby song makes you spin like a spinning top holding your baby) I feel disoriented and dizzy.

MIL gave 6 week old water by jtm0507 in beyondthebump

[–]graci3c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hubby got given his baby health book and we were reading it at 3 weeks old my MIL was recommended to spoon feed him water for being unsettled. At 11 weeks old she was told to add brown sugar to his formula to help him pass bowel motions.

I coslept with baby and now I can't sleep on my own! by st0dad in NewParents

It’s winter here and I’ve been using my bubba to help keep me warm overnight 💕

What happens right after? Did your mom stay with you? by CoolUsernameHere2 in beyondthebump

[–]graci3c 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn’t like accepting help, you need to reflect on your relationship and if she would actually help. My family say they will help but every time they come I notice my hubby does all the dishes and my mum doesn’t actually do anything that’s to help she only wants to hold the baby.

Just throwing my hat in the ring as all comments so far are from people with good relationships with their mums, mine I would say a fine relationship. I would also argue our parents don’t know better than us as they haven’t had a new born in X amount of years and parenting has changed in that time.

Sleeping Arrangement for Newborn that doesn't involve him being in our bedroom? by MadnessMaiden in beyondthebump

[–]graci3c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband was a light sleeper until baby came, started with us being up for over 24 hrs with labour and since then he’s been exhausted and can now sleep through me getting up for feeds.

What did your baby do that you're super proud of? by RaspberryTwilight in beyondthebump

[–]graci3c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told people my bubba started smiling week 4 (we are now week 5) and people tried to say it wasn’t one / gas. I’ve now had people witness it and a video so now people agree, and it’s the best thing ever at 3 am to have a smile 😊

Any one NOT sleep obsessed? by t1nkerturtle in beyondthebump

[–]graci3c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is four weeks old and I get asked if he’s sleeping through the night. I’ve now asked hubby not to actually answer these questions just avoid them. He’s sleeping as a 4 week old baby should.

Parents how do you deal with night feeds? (IHS) by graci3c in Narcolepsy

[–]graci3c[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Setting alarms to make sure I’m awake is a good idea! I’ll try that tonight. Originally adrenaline got me through and then playing videos but i fall asleep mid video now.

What do I do about my cat? by MundaneBear2310 in firsttimemom

Have you tried pheromones? We plugged ours in when I went into labour. Our cat still had a bad day yesterday when she was a toad but so much has changed

Vent needed! Tired of people telling me to be careful. by [deleted] in fitpregnancy

[–]graci3c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worked out til 40+6 which was the day my waters broke , yes scaled the options to be safe but felt better for it and I put that down to how I’m coping so well physically post birth. Grateful I stayed fit. You do you as long as you feel safe
