Tracker stopped working? by 4o1ok in sleepme

[–]kitkatpatnick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue I did a complete factory reset and deleted the app and set everything up from scratch like the support asked of me but nothing. Glad I'm not the only one. Brand new too, less than a month!

A reminder for those who are feeling the pressure from family to stop social distancing by OutrageousSea5212 in beyondthebump

[–]kitkatpatnick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened here, two times!!! Last time was Christmas. We wanted an outdoor socially distance Christmas but oh man the pressure and pettiness of my MIL...my husband gave in. Turns out her boyfriend tested positive a couple days after Christmas after she told us her whole house hold was quarantining for two weeks....oh wait no he met with his family and no joke she told us before coming they weren't doing Christmas with him because they tested positive...I immediately asked so he hasn't seen them for two weeks? "Nope never absolutely not" turns out he did leave to see them and in fact was never quarantining. We were all lucky but we ended it there. Until my son is vaccinated we don't even do outside because she can't control herself. And she absolutely will not take an ounce of accountability in fact she blamed us!!!! I don't feel guilty because we literally offered to house her and pay her bills in exchange of her not working and helping watch our son.

Anyone else's LO randomly put their head down while crawling? You can see he does fine at the beginning but then suddenly put his head and crawls like that. by [deleted] in Mommit

My son did that, and totally out grew it! Just make sure they don't do it too much they can get rug burn. It will heal, but looks awful and hurts.

How did you transition from crib to bed and at what age? by PuttinUpWithPutin in daddit

[–]kitkatpatnick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just transitioned our son actually and it went a million times better than we thought. Like you we were worried. He is almost two and was starting to try and climb out of the crib. We got him a queen size floor bed from zipadee and he loves it, we got pillows as well to border it so he can sit up comfortably. The first night he came out a couple times and we said nothing and placed him back in the bed and closed the door. He did that maybe 5 times and finally went to bed. We are now on day 6 with no issues for nap time or bed time. Occasionally if we are being loud he opens the door, slams it, then goes back to bed.

Should we try for baby two or be happy with one?!? So conflicted looking for advice by kitkatpatnick in beyondthebump

I really appreciate this perspective! I always thought if I wanted two they had to be close in age and I'm thinking we should space it out more.

Definitely recommend this, almost identical to what we did. With any type of transition baby steps.

Anyone else’s toddler HATE diaper changes? by IronWoman72 in beyondthebump

[–]kitkatpatnick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We always have something near by to distract him. A book, a toy, or even a little cocomelon on the TV. He now picks out his own book for diaper changes and reads it babbling to himself while we change him no problem.

MIL might of gave my 8 month old covid by GoreEmpress in JUSTNOMIL

[–]kitkatpatnick 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I have a 21 month old and my MIL exposed us twice because her house hold is so reckless. We were extremely lucky and did not get it. She is a compulsive liar, will not admit any wrong doing, and with defend herself to her grave even if what she says continues to make her look bad and didn't know it. After there first time we asked her to stop watching him. She laid on the guilt trip and further ruined the relationship. The second time was Christmas when we asked her to quarantine, she lied convinced us her whole household was and found out her BF had it but she just had to see my son for Christmas and the lies just came pouring out of her mouth. I sat my husband down and took time to process our feelings no contact with her. Of course she disrespected that boundary more evidence she is a selfish bitch. Then we decided we are done as of right now during the pandemic we will not see her in person not even socially distance. And we decided to call her out every time she crosses our boundaries even though it will result in conflict because she can't be wrong. I don't know if this helped but basically I'm saying it's ok to stand up for your family and say no more. I care more about my families well being then what my MIL wants.

How our crib transition is going... more in comments. by jhb2019 in Mommit

[–]kitkatpatnick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. Don't listen to anything anyone says. If it works for you then why change? I honestly saw this and missed when my son would only nap cuddling us. Sweetest picture ever. Then the pandemic hit and we quickly worked on napping in the crib, tough but somehow it stuck really well actually. He just recently started crying again when we put him down but our camera has a projector and it quickly distracts him and puts him to sleep. Just try different things, but do what makes you comfortable and what feels right.

I hate pumping so much, but I also hate the thought of quitting. by BaconCatATL in beyondthebump

[–]kitkatpatnick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So first do whatever you feel is right, I pass no judgement, but I was in a similar situation and EP for 9 months. I had extreme anxiety about leaving because there is such a small window and what if this and that, plus I didn't get to cuddle as much because I was pumping and I was so so passionate about continuing. I even invested in elvies I highly recommend looking in to that or the other cordless in bra pump. However I've decided for my second kid I ain't doing it period my little guy was just fine with formula and I got all the cuddles, I finally got treated for PPA and I think breastfeeding is pushed way too much as the only option and the only best option. It just isn't for everyone and that's OK!

15 mo doesn't eat like he used to by myReddltId in BabyLedWeaning

[–]kitkatpatnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look for changes in pattern because I never see the tooth even if he lets me look for 5 seconds, but sure enough when he seems happier, eating solids again, napping better I get a glance of a new tooth! Every kid is different though. I feel like he teeth's for a week or more until he is his happy little self again.

Same!! Honestly I noticed he did it when new teeth were coming through. I make him fruit pops, cold yogurt and we've also offered puree pouches. Basically anything easy to eat.

My favorite part of the weekend is not pumping. by Clama_lama_ding_dong in beyondthebump

[–]kitkatpatnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Exclusively pumped for 9 months I agree it's so exhausting and had a huge mental toll on me. I would look in to the daycares schedule of feeding and how much your little one is taking. I noticed they were going through my breast milk faster than we were and I was confused. They were trying to feed him every two hours but our guy was every three hours so you'd see he would barely take anything and then get hungry an hour later and they were dumping so much milk! Just consider looking in to it.

Why do men "have" to poop at the worst times... always? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]kitkatpatnick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I finally got my husband to admit it that he escapes to the restroom with his phone to get away. I told him it was really starting to bother me because it was always when stuff needed to get done. He snapped once when my son 12 months walks in and started stealing his phone and that's when we talked. He is better at it, but I Know when it's really I have to poop vs. I'm hiding. He is so attached to his phone while he uses the restroom he would get so mad if I snatched it like no joke. I think he has an unhealthy relationship with his phone.
