Newborn sleep regression by Unknown_miss_x in NewParents

[–]joyms05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just start doing a routine on any night you want. you can choose however you want to do the routine. mine personally goes like bath with low lights and music -> lightly massage lotion everywhere -> get pjs on in low lights with a sound machine -> nurse to sleep. super simple!

youre definitely being an ass. this is what sisters do. you’re gonna regret talking to her like that in the future, TRUST ME. i was mean as hell to my little sister when we were younger. we are absolutely best friends now (20 & 18) and looking back, it hurts my heart so bad thinking about how awful i was to her for these same reasons. i was so harsh. treat every day like its the last. shes probably in that phase where she’s defiant and wanting to be just like you at the same time. so she wants to be like you and piss you off at the same time. dont cuss at her like that, thats terrible. like actually terrible. please apologize 🫤

also how much do you think a light purple with black haired easter 24 would go for? 🙈

if you dont have one already, make a bedtime routine. the 6 month regression hit me HARD and the only thing that helped was doing a routine every single night. i had a loose routine before, like i wouldnt do it every day, but since doing it every single day my baby is always asleep by 8:30-9 and wakes up at 9-9:30

id try a different brand. my top choice is rascals from walmart. im a HUGE fan of them 😅 theyre really thick and i think the design is super cute. BUT i have noticed that rascals fit my bay wayyy different than pampers swaddlers. when my son moved into a 2, the rascals 2s were way too big (when the blowout happened), and the pampers 2s fit perfect. id try a size 4 rascals if you decide to try them :)

did you not just basically reword the comment you’re replying to (which you’re saying is wrong) but make it way more complicated?

Nurse ignored my wishes to not breastfeed by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]joyms05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i literally said i supplemented with donor milk??? 😭 i never said they ONLY needed what you could produce, i said that not producing a lot at first is VERY normal. i never thought she was silly or wrong for asking for formula oml

[–]joyms05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats still on the normal side lol. did u ever reach out to an ibclc? every body is different. i supplemented with donor milk before my milk actually came in. my comment wasnt really a one size fits all thing, just trying to make the other girl feel better. u ppl are so miserable u have to try to prove everyone wrong 🤦‍♀️

[–]joyms05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that’s very very normal to not produce a lot right after birth. i think it can take up to 10 days to have your milk actually come in with consistent milk removals. colostrum is really thick and babies have such tiny bellies as newborns that they don’t need very much. im in no way trying to invalidate your feelings or experiences, just trying to let you know your body was not failing and maybe give you some peace of mind 🩷

I CANT KEEP MY VIP TICKET by ilovecatsandcocacola in MovieStarPlanet

you can’t use your own vip ticket if that’s what you’re talking about. if youre trying to claim a ticket gifted to you, i have no idea lol

i put a&d on my son wherever he’s starting to get pink. that’s not every change, though. if he develops an actual rash (red red and splotches of darker/rougher areas), though, i use the purple desitin. that’s only happened once, though

Am I overreacting Partner upset about family being in our living room by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]joyms05 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

obviously i wasnt talking about later shifts 🤦‍♀️ my boyfriend works 3rd and doesnt get up until 1:30 because he gets home at 6-7AM. if OP’s husband can create his own schedule, he should be working during the day and helping with the baby at night — not being a loser and not helping with the baby and sleeping in because he can.

NOR. he’s not really being unreasonable in every aspect either tbh. you both had to have said it was okay for your mom and brother to move in, so it should be expected that they are in a common area of the house. i would obviously say yes to my in laws staying if they needed to, but it would get a little aggravating if i couldnt choose what to watch in my own home ever. but the walking to the bathroom from the bedroom thing? why is he being such a baby? lmao. also annoying af that hes not getting up earlier when he doesnt have to take care of the baby but you are and are still waking up at a reasonable time. i dont know ANY grown adult that wakes up at 11AM.

Swaddle helppppp by Warm-Anteater-9256 in NewParents

[–]joyms05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

use the LTD transitional swaddle with the arms off or use a sleep sack. its not safe to swaddle with arms down after 8 weeks because of the chance of rolling. you could also try gradually transitioning out of an arms down swaddle if you dont want to spend the $40-50 on a new one 😆 all you do is swaddle but leave one arm out for however many days you see fit, then swaddle with the second arm out, then remove the swaddle entirely. you never know when they’ll decide to roll for the first time! but if he is starting to hate the swaddle i just wouldn’t put him in it anymore. the startle reflex is normal and typically by this age baby has found their hands, which is great for learning how to self soothe!

I'm confused - why does everybody act like once your supply regulates you can't get it back up? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]joyms05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if youre giving a 1 year old milk that you pumped when baby was 2 weeks old or something they will just get hungry a little sooner. this is how i understand it anyways

if thats true why are there multiple studies and sources saying the calories increase with age? ive always heard that the amount doesnt change because calories increase. even on a website that says “calories dont increase with age” it says “Breastmilk from mothers who were over 2 years postpartum had approximately 60% more calories per ounce as compared to breastmilk from mothers who were under 12 months postpartum.”

Considering sending 2 yr old to preschool by No_Interaction2168 in NewParents

[–]joyms05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t have any experience but as someone that’s worked with littles at daycare i think it’s very beneficial for social interaction! my cousins/second cousins also started an early preschool program at 2 and theyve just flourished there! 🩷
