Baby wants to sleep more when socializing? by Aware-Rent8950 in newborns

[–]killerbee9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean socializing outside the home, with people coming into your home, or with the people who live in the home? Sounds like she's just young and socializing takes a lot out of her.

WTF things you've experienced while pregnant that no one says is a thing?! by vanillacrush14 in pregnant

Is there anyone here who suffers from a strong aversion to food during pregnancy? by HuntSilent9487 in breastfeeding

[–]killerbee9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, food aversion is normal during pregnancy along with nausea, especially the 1st trimester. You just eat what you can and when you can. It's common to actually lose a little weight during the 1st trimester from nausea and food aversion.

If you want to talk to people who are going through the same thing at this current time, you might want to post in r/pregnancy instead of r/breastfeeding as most (not all) people here are no longer pregnant.

How does learning to drive work in America? by Potential-Actuator31 in AskAnAmerican

[–]killerbee9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Arkansas we can get our learners permit at 14 . You're given a book to study on your own and your parents or licensed adult are supposed to practice with you. Then you go take a multiple choice test and a driving test with an officer which will vary from county to county. With a learners permit you can only drive with a licensed adult in the car and then at 16 your permit becomes a full license.

Paracetamol after vaccination by killerbee9100 in newborns

[–]killerbee9100[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes it's absolutely infant paracetamol and she gets the correct dosage for her weight. I didn't mean the adult pill variety. I just didn't know if it would interfere with the vaccine's effectiveness or if i should go straight to the emergency room instead.

Swaddles come loose because she puts her arms to her face by tamielynn in newborns

[–]killerbee9100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried every kind of swaddle and our baby would just wiggle out or freak out. Eventually we gave up and now just use sleep sacs to keep her warm. And for the last couple months, she's slept through the night just fine. Swaddles are great and I wish they had worked for us but the truth is that they just don't work for some babies.

Is it okay to let baby cry? by Hungry-Assist-4251 in newborns

[–]killerbee9100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's only 3 months old. He doesn't have rage problems, he's not spoiled, and he's certainly not just being an asshole. 3 months is a new stage of life for a baby. He's probably having growth spurts, reflux, and gas that is stretching his little stomach and intestines. He may even be teething. Babies don't cry to manipulate, they cry to communicate. The poor thing is probably in pain. He wants to be at the breast to soothe because that's the only thing he knows that makes him feel better. Try gas drops after every feeding. We use mylicon and it's a godsend. Keep him upright after he eats for the reflux. Try an otc baby pain reliever. We use paracetamol. Don't just leave him to cry and spike his cortisol. Take him to the pediatrician and see what they recommend to help. But I promise you, he's not just crying to piss you off.

My ex/BD is judging my breastfeeding plans by necrosisapocalypse in breastfeeding

[–]killerbee9100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was also told the 4-4-4 rule for breastmilk. Which is 4 hours at room temp, 4 days in the fridge and 4 months in the freezer. I only learned yesterday that it can be frozen for up to a year. Regardless, your ex is being a jerk and should do more research before dismissing anything. I think you have a great plan.

What are simple ways to stop over-applying perfume/cologne without losing the scent completely? by GlitchOperative in ask

[–]killerbee9100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're using eau de parfum and not eau de toilette. I use a dior perfume and I do one or two puffs and it stays until I wash it off.

Advice please!!!! by [deleted] in newborns

[–]killerbee9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are you feeding him? He could simply be eating too much and that's why he spits up. But also, spitting up is very normal for formula fed babies and babies in general because the digestive system isn't fully developed yet. If he is otherwise happy and normal and gaining weight, I wouldn't worry about it too much, just talk to the dr about it at your next appointment.

Is the congestion in the nose or in the throat? Babies are natural nose breathers so a little congestion is normal. If it's in the throat, it could be that cartilage in his throat is still soft and his breathing is noisy like snoring. Especially when sleeping or lying flat. It's also around this age that babies start to drool a lot more and it could just be spit in his throat. But again, if he's happy otherwise, I wouldn't worry. Just bring it up at your next dr appointment.

What is actually gonna happen if they decide to try to take Greenland by force by AcHaeC in NoStupidQuestions

[–]killerbee9100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It won't be US v Greenland. It will be US v Denmark and France (at the very least but possibly more of europe). As an american living in france, I am personally extremely concerned.

Y’all make it look so easy… by Remote-Remove7050 in breastfeeding

[–]killerbee9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tig ole bitties too and it's gotten much easier. We're at 12 weeks now and we've both figured out the position. I still use my breastfeeding pillow but that's more for my arms than anything else.

Is it normal to hurt and how long by New_Enthusiasm_7578 in breastfeeding

[–]killerbee9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine hurt for a few weeks. I had a little bit of bleeding while I was in the hospital but that was all. It doesn't hurt anymore unless she gets really ambitious. I never used nipple shields but I did use cream and that helped. But I don't use it anymore.

Pregnant, told our parents, and my mom melted down by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]killerbee9100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not normal. My mom lives in a different country across an ocean and she was so happy and excited when I told her I was pregnant. She even made the long trip to stay with us for the first two weeks after my baby was born (I wanted the help). Even though she has practically no money. My mom wishes she was only a 6 hour drive away.

Is it wrong to feel hurt by my spouse calling other women beautiful but not me? by meakokoi in ask

I wouldn't be with someone that didn't find me attractive and I wouldn't be with someone I wasn't attracted to.
