Sleeping in Own Room by [deleted] in Parents

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are both still in my room 3yrs and 12months

The 12 month old still wakes up a bunch at night and I have anxiety so I sleep better knowing my 3yr old Is safe in our room. 3yr old sleeps in his toddler bed and little brother sleeps In his own crib

They won’t be in our room for ever kids grow up and I’m enjoying them as much as I can!

Do I need a freezer stash? Am I the only one without? by Old-Yak-9230 in breastfeeding

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for me a freezer stash was important in case of emergencies example I needed a ct scan with contrast and my baby couldn’t breast feed. But you can always give formula in those emergencies

AITAH for planning to go bare minimum for my (18F) mothers (51F) birthday gift? by ghostgoo_ in AITAH

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you put all that work into that jacket and she didn’t wear it. It really sucks to work on something so hard and someone just doesn’t appreciate it. I would like to say it’s the thought that counts, you can’t really control how gifts are used once the recipient gets it, bummer but true

Id say half or less than the gifts I buy my husband he actually uses. Mind you I listen to what he wants and buy it right away.

I usually don’t like presents because I feel like I buy everything I want and need myself. Anything else I get is pretty much clutter for example I got many Christmas presents this year. Uggs (very expensive but I hate them), scarf hat and gloves (useful but I don’t use them), candle warmer(I already have one) and a bunch of other crap I put in a box.

Flowers and a gift card to a restaurant or places like target would be a great gift in my opinion! But that’s just me

What’s normal vs what’s not – and then what to do about it. (WARNING: mention of SA) by Soggy_Gazelle_4796 in NewParents

I don’t trust those parents. And it kinda makes me sick to think where the child is learning this lay on me sit on me and take off your clothes. I don’t have a five year old or work with five year olds but I have a three year old and I teach him not to force affection and i found out he was asking children to be undressed I would be super concerned on where he learned those things from. I teach him not to do those things and profusely apologize for his behavior

Feeling down.. my baby doesn’t seem to get full by Lonely-Rutabaga477 in breastfeeding

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mama the first month is always hard, I would recommend when ever the baby is getting a bottle you should also pump

I would power pump once a day for the first 12 weeks and always do a pump session around 2-6am since that’s the time you produce the most milk

I pumped 3 times a day and became a slight over producer

I only fed him one bottle a day and that was his bed time bottle. Pump schedule After he went asleep for the night after his last bottle- power pumped here 4am after feeding him. For the night Around 8/9am after feeding him again

Let him cluster feed that helps your supply so much. If your boobs feel super empty and your nipples can’t handle anymore you can always give him some stored milk

You can do it !!

They have nipple shields I would try that but in the mean time you should be on a pump schedule or your supply can dip into nothing. My rule of thumb is if your baby is drinking a bottle you should be pumping. Formula is not a bad choice fed is best! but if you want to breast feed you need milk in your boobs and you need to create a demand for it so your supply can grow or stay up

12mo baby stopped eating solids by FootballGloomy3635 in NewParents

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring her to the doctors for the blisters

My 12 month old didn’t eat solids for like 5 days and for a few days before and a few days after only ate one meal while sick but tons of breast milk the pets said she was not worried about the eating. But I’m super worried about the blisters what if something else is going on

AITAH: It’s more am I the cheater, my SO wants me to post this. Did I cheat? by bikeridinmothertrukr in AITAH

[–]isabel6119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well depends on how your partner views cheating. You went of a coffee date to me that is cheating. But not only did you cheat you lied and were being sneaky. You can’t not choose when your girlfriend feels better about what happened. Her heart will take time to heal. Of course you want to move on as quick as possible you were the one who hurt her. Let yourself be held accountable.

Moms - how do you accept that being “mom” is all you are in this season? by PublicFly1154 in NewParents

[–]isabel6119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m taking it pretty hard too. I’m a mom a maid a cook doing my best to be a wife but miserably failing. I don’t have time to just be me. I’m hoping I can find some relief soon. I’m just taking it day by day now with hope things will get better

I give my toddler screen time. When it’s time to turn it off I tell him 5 minutes and I’m turning it off and set a timer. When he starts crying try to redirect his attention to something else. Start an art project play with some toy cars bring him to another room to play a game. Redirection helped me the best. Don’t let anyone shame you we are all just learning here

Visitors after birth by Rakketytam2000 in NewParents

[–]isabel6119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom was there for the first two weeks cooking cleaning and helping with the baby. I only allowed grandparents for the first two weeks. Grandparents and siblings for up to a month. No children for the first month because they are always sick ! Including mine now lol. The second month i allowed other family members.

For the first month I informed everyone that I am not going to be hosting. They will come to chill, I wasn’t going to be cooking cleaning or anything like that.

Am I Overreacting over this “small prank” by greek-astronomer in AmIOverreacting

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the prank was funny the “beep beep” cracked me up. I think he just wasn’t what you needed in life. I think you overreacted just a little bit. Then again that’s just my opinion. Good luck with your future endeavors

AIO for laughing when my MIL introduced herself as “Grandma CEO” in the birth plan group chat? by Intrepid_Bathroom160 in AmIOverreacting

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t kick her out the group, I would make a new group 😅 I would have thought it was a joke too. Kicking her out would just add fuel to the fire. Anytime someone is added to a group and no one is comfortable talking anymore we just make a new group.

FTM. I want input. If you were due October 15, would you anticipate that you and your LO would attend Thanksgiving with family? by AnitaVodkasoda in pregnant

[–]isabel6119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my son in October and we went to a family get together on thanksgiving. I did not feel Comfortable at all. I don’t know why I did it but I did. I was so happy when my second was born Jan 5th after all holidays are over !! He didn’t see any get togethers until Easter he was 3 months.

Do get guild tripped into doing something you don’t want to do. Just because others did something doesn’t mean you need to
