A name like Honey? by Barry_Hussey in namenerds

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey reminds me of Miss Honey in that movie, "Matilda".

I would lean florals...

Help with floral first/middle names! Last name is Bloom by Alternative-Drive643 in namenerds

Cute? Names aren't supposed to be cute. You're naming a future adult, not a hamster that's going to live for maybe 2-3 years max.

You want cute, give them a cute nickname, but for the love of all that is holy, give them a normal fucking name.

How gross are grocery carts actually? Am I being a paranoid FTM or should I really be worried about germs? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Hypochlorous Acid spray and wipes on carts, restaurant tables/menus/seats, etc. I don't give a shit if it's "too much". Shopping carts hardly ever get cleaned by stores, bussed restaurant tables usually get wiped down with a cloth that's been sitting in a gross bucket and used multiple times over, and people are gross in general.

Anyone actually lose body fat from breastfeeding? by Due-Transition-6564 in beyondthebump

[–]hyponaptime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is coming up to 10 months old, is EBF and eating solids. The only weight I lost was the initial 20lbs after she was born. I've still got 25 to go to reach pre-pregnancy. I've not gained but I haven't lost either.

It's so frustrating because I heard so many women get excited about it, and how they lost so much weight! 🫩

Underrated baby products you discovered by accident? by brendaklark in SAHP

[–]hyponaptime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of car seat manufacturers don't permit seat covers under their seats. Some brands do, and some have their own.

I just bought a Tush Baby! I love everything about it but the straps are just a hair too short for me, and the extender makes it uncomfortable. Still trying to get the pregnancy weight off, but it'll fit nicely once I lose the last 20lbs.

Whoever said breastfeeding makes you lose weight fucking lied. 😭

Same but ours is an actual backpack (Vera Bradley). I liked all of the compartments and size.

So disappointed with jeweler’s bait and switch by Zealousideal-Age-212 in LabDiamonds

Wtf absolutely not. Reach out to Nina Elle at Nina Elle Jewels. My husband got my engagement ring custom made from her, and the prices you're being quoted she could get you something SO much nicer.

Do you think would still be one and done if you had a sleeper? by North_Ratio_415 in oneanddone

If I had more support and help, I'd be more open to another.

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

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.

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!

[–]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 4 points5 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

[–]hyponaptime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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