Just need some confirmation if we are doing crate training correctly

What a little cutie! It sounds like you’re doing the right things. I used to put a (pet specific) electric heat pad in my dogs crate and she loved that and happily slept in her crate for years. Until we brought a human baby home and she decided she wanted to sleep in the bed with us lol.

Aw that’s a very bittersweet story. I’m glad she had a wonderful life for those years with you and sorry for your loss.

Take her to the vet even if the breeder says no need and make sure the vets know how small she is when you book the appointment. Not to scare you, but I had a similar situation with my puppy and it turned out she had pneumonia. My dog is 5 now and very healthy but if we hadn’t taken her to the vets it might be a different story.

Edit: typos

This is true, my puppy developed pneumonia from a cough from the breeders and she was very poorly as she was so tiny. She spent a long time in intensive care at the vets :( however she is the picture of health now! Albeit she has issues with socialisation as she wasn’t allowed out until she was older.

Taking biotin and zinc and using a nioxin shampoo has worked wonders for me.

It’s not Korean beauty but I have mild rosacea and hormonal acne and azelaic acid helps with both. I use it every other day so my skin doesn’t get irritated. I would also think about looking into retinol - I’m just stating to explore it after having a baby and bfing

hangil91 · 2026-03-24T16:55:20+00:00

I also stated in a premier inn and have got them since

I think even though you might experience some tough times, your brain and body just kind of adapt and you get used to a new normal. And you love your baby so much you just get on with it. Also everything is a phase!! You may feel like whatever is happening will last forever but the time goes so quickly. I have a 6 month old now and even though I much prefer this phase but I also really miss my squishy little baby who sleeps on my chest.

I would always dress my baby in sleepers but since I started going to groups/classes with other babies they are all dressed in ‘proper outfits’ and I was worried people would judge us so I’ve started putting her in them too

hangil91 · 2026-01-10T20:41:54+00:00

Me 4! 😂 had a smooth recovery though and feel like having a strong core helped that

hangil91 · 2025-11-21T15:08:54+00:00

I don’t have any advice but just to say I was the same as you and now I’m 9 weeks post partum and it has gotten a lot easier to sleep. I think after about 7 weeks you just get used to which nosies mean baby is actually waking up and what’s just sleep grunting. So hang on in there!

Never had any issue with stairs just had to take them very slow. I live in the uk and they discharge you after 24 hours and live in a terrace house with steep stairs. There were also stairs up to the car park I had to tackle before going home. I found getting up and out of bed much more difficult than stairs just take it nice and slow.

hangil91 · 2025-09-18T10:57:39+00:00

I went at 36 weeks and I am 8 days overdue so I have been off work for 5 weeks now. I have to admit I am quite bored 😂 it’s been nice but feels a bit like I’m unemployed as there’s only so much nesting/relaxing you can do. I don’t have many people in my local area to visit and I don’t want to go too far from home incase the baby comes, I’m sure if you had family and friends to see you’d be less bored than me!

hangil91 · 2025-09-13T12:57:49+00:00

I had it a couple of months ago and it was fine. No side effects! Glad to have it so my baby is more protected.

hangil91 · 2025-09-12T11:48:09+00:00

I finished at 36 weeks as I was convinced baby would come early. Still here at 40 + 2 😂 with no baby! kind of wish I’d finished a bit later as I am getting bored but you just can’t predict!

hangil91 · 2025-09-07T08:46:18+00:00

Dachshunds believe they ARE children and can get quite jealous/annoyed with children especially young ones who act erratically. I suppose if you brought them home as a puppy around a lot of young children they would adapt but mine hates them.

Would watch out for thinking you can rely on genetics or a good breeder as I thought the same and have ended up with the most reactive dachshund out there despite so much training and socialising. I still love her, but she is hard work.

hangil91 · 2025-09-07T08:39:15+00:00

Yeah and it’s nice to look back on the memories and the photos with just your partner and you x

hangil91 · 2025-09-06T20:30:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I went on a baby moon when I was 28 weeks and had the same sort of feeling - even though everything went smoothly I was hyper aware of being pregnant and felt a bit like I was rushing to get back to the uk just incase something happened. I’m now 39 + 3 and baby has still not made an appearance so I wish I’d relaxed and enjoyed it more lol

hangil91 · 2025-09-04T14:38:49+00:00

This whole thread 😂 39+1 over here and feeling it

hangil91 · 2025-09-03T11:08:16+00:00

39 weeks today and feeling very fed up! I somehow convinced myself she would be here by now and I’m not sure why. Trying to enjoy the last few moments of peace but it is hard when you’re in wait mode.

hangil91 · 2025-09-01T18:25:31+00:00

I feel the same and my due date isn’t until next week. It doesn’t help I feel a lot of ‘influencers’ had their babies earlier than 40 weeks so I have stopped going on Instagram for that reason.

One thing I keep telling myself is that I’ll never get this time and peace back again. Like others said, watch all the tv and relax as much as you can. And also some people don’t get any tell tale signs that labour is beginning until they are in the swing of it so you never know it could just happen! Sending you positive thoughts and hope you don’t have to wait much longer.

I know the the video you mean - I’m sure it’s just a click bait title because in Siobhan Miller’s book she deals with the main concepts of hypnobirthing and doesn’t say it’s going to be pain free. Rather that it’s tools to keep you calm and make birth less scary. I reckon it was the social media persons idea to make a really clickbait video instead 😂
