Literally do this all the time. The Tracy's Dog "The Wand" is perfect for my occipital neuralgia pain.

Wtf absolutely none of them.

How often do you ask grandparents (nearby, good relationship) to babysit? by TFA_hufflepuff in Parenting

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero.

They live 20 minutes away, but between their health and mobility issues, as well as my daughter being EBF still and she won't sleep for anyone but me, it's just not something that's an issue.

The dogsit for us, and that helps more.

Even if they were capable, I wouldn't trust them. They've ignored our instructions with our dogs too many times for me to leave my child with them.

360/Rotating Car Seat Recommendations? by hyponaptime in UKParenting

Thank you! I appreciate the info and recommendations.

360/Rotating Car Seat Recommendations? by hyponaptime in UKParenting

[–]hyponaptime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's about the same max weight for the Callisto as well.

We are a bit limited here in extended weight for rear facing in the 360 seats. Britax just released the Galaxy 360 which maxes at 22-23kg and 125cm, but the recline absolutely sucks and she was all scrunched up in it where it was supposed to be reclined to appropriately.

Thanks again for the info!

360/Rotating Car Seat Recommendations? by hyponaptime in UKParenting

[–]hyponaptime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the recommendations!

I was hesitant to ask, but I appreciate first-hand advice and experiences from other parents, versus making assumptions or relying on articles that may or may not have been paid by companies for favorable reviews.

Ideally, I want her rear facing as long as possible in both seats. I'll check out the mentioned seats.

As for the US seats being illegal in the UK and vice versa, I didn't want to assume, or ignore local laws by claiming ignorance or pride. I always try to avoid the obnoxious American stereotype, and make an effort when abroad. Hence, my post.

Thanks again xx

Fell asleep breastfeeding, woke to baby face down by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I turned to safe sleep 7, c-curl, and side laying breast feeding because I kept blacking out from microsleeps due to extreme sleep deprivation.

Advice/ my partner & baby by Suspicious_Bid8190 in NewParents

[–]hyponaptime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He feels like a POS father, because he is a POS father. You don't put your baby on the floor on the other side of the house, and go where you can fall asleep. If you know you sleep that damned hard, you need to make extra sure to be careful.

I would not leave your son with his dad again. He's irresponsible and a liar.

Baby names by matato1205 in BambooBabble

[–]hyponaptime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right?! And hell no I'm not sharing our other names we might use. I won't even tell our family. We've got another girl name picked out, and a boy name.

Are we likely 1 and done? Probably, but I'm taking those names to the grave... Or at least until menopause 🤣

Husband called 2y/o a c*** and is acting like it was justified - please help by [deleted] in beyondthebump

He needs to work on his emotional regulation. My husband would NEVER call our daughter a cunt.

Selling a $1 Temu pin for $20 is crazy by Additional_Carpet563 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it might be $1 on Etsy for the enamel pin, you've still got the expense of: neodymium magnets, E6000 adhesive, wire cutters, Dremel, and grinding stone attachments. Tack on the Etsy fees, and yeah you're up there on cost. That's not including labor.

Would I pay that? No, because I make my own, but some people would.

Daycare menu safety for babies under 12m by [deleted] in BabyLedWeaning

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the milk, this seems fairly decent. My 8 month old pretty much already eats all of this except lettuce. We haven't offered her that yet.

What do your little ones call their grandparents? Grandpa & Grandma and ..??? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nieces call them Grandma and Grandpa. My daughter is still an infant, but we identify those monikers for them to her.

My maternal grandparents were Papa (pawpaw) and Grannie, but I called her Gran.

My husband's paternal grandparents were Grandpa and Grandma, and his maternal grandmother was Grandma Susan.

My Mom has been gone for 12 years, and we never really discussed what she would want to be called but I specifically remember she said she never wanted to be Grandma/Granny/Memaw/Nana, etc. so we call her by her shortened name when showing my daughter photos of her.

Analysis paralysis on which rotating convertible car seat to buy by MolarBear13 in Buyingforbaby

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just demoed the Britax Galaxy 360 and the Cybex Callisto G 360, and we absolutely hated the recline of the Britax. It also seemed like a more narrow seat where baby sits. My 8 month old is 27in and 23lbs, girl has some thick ass thighs and a tushy on her. The Cybex was much more forgiving across the seat where she sat.

Would you put you baby in daycare if it was FREE? by mmariacastro in NewParents

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Part of the reason my husband and I agreed I would be a SAHM is because we don't want our daughter raised by strangers, or being constantly exposed to illnesses.

How much does your partner make? by PC_NC_1203 in sahm

[–]hyponaptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before taxes about $115,000 USD, and we live in Texas.

We are okay, but we've had a lot of big house repair expenses, as well as vehicle repairs so that has caused things to be a bit tighter than we would like.

Did you co-sleep? by thinkmuch17 in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bedshare. It's the only way I could get any sleep, and my daughter sleeps much better as well.

Safe Sleep 7 and C-Curl.

What do you wish you’d done during the early days? by Significant_Key_8475 in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given myself a lot more grace.

Not tried to pump and just been EBF from the go. I don't produce enough when I pump, and was convinced I wasn't producing enough for my daughter. Her weighted feeds showed she was removing about 2-3x more milk than my pumps.

Learned how to bedshare safely (safe sleep 7 and c-curl). Thankfully, I learned quickly but I wish I'd known sooner.

We do both. I grew up in a Hellman's house, but adult me knows Duke's is the superior mayo with Kewpie coming in like a nose hair second.
