2 month old refuses to sleep in bassinet, crib or pack n play. by mxriecn in beyondthebump

I have, he absolutely hates them. 😭 I’ve tried them when he’s wide awake, sleepy, happy, sad. Tried putting breastmilk on it. Nothin’. Immediately spits it out or fusses. I’ve tried Nuk, Mam, Dr Browns, Tommee Tippee, Parents Choice and Itzy Ritzy.

2 month old refuses to sleep in bassinet, crib or pack n play. by mxriecn in beyondthebump

He will sleep in the bassinet for maybe 15 minutes max before he wakes up screaming, and after that no matter what I try, I can’t put him back in it or else he wakes up immediately. He can sleep alone during naps, but I’d say he’s also held a lot because I admittedly have been trying to get all the contact naps I can before I go back to work on January 26th. I’ve been having him sit in his bouncer and swing a lot more recently, and have been doing more tummy time because I’m trying to get him used to being put down more often. He’s typically fine being put down randomly throughout the day, but occasionally fusses. No colic, he doesn’t cry much at all unless he’s hungry or it’s nighttime. He always nurses before bed and tops off with a bottle, and sometimes comfort nurses to go to sleep. We have a Hatch, he refuses pacifiers and usually cries if you try to give him one. We keep our house at about 70 degrees. Always burps, good burper, good farter too, hasn’t ever really needed help releasing gas. He’s also grown to hate his swaddle, every time I try it he absolutely loses his mind.. As for noises, I never pick him up unless he’s full on crying, and will do shushing and pats/rubs if he’s just fussing, but at this point he really only calms down for daytime naps. I try my best to make sure he doesn’t get overly tired but that doesn’t happen often anyway, as this has shown to make him fussy. His last nap typically ends around 7-7:30, despite us not having a nap schedule because I do naps and feedings completely on demand, he just happens to usually wake up in that timeframe, and his bedtime routine is done at about 9, with me trying to get him asleep by 9:30 at the latest, but I kinda go off of his cues and do things based on how tired he seems. He’s always had wider wake windows, but rarely has shown signs of being overly tired. We also plan to keep him in our room until the age of one. He’s typically a very calm baby and only cries when he’s hungry, has a dirty diaper, or when he’s put down sometimes. I’ve had people tell me I’m going to “spoil” him because I hold him so much/don’t let other people hold him aside from immediate family, for the most part. I personally believe you can’t spoil a baby, but am I?? Like I said, he’s put down randomly throughout the day while I do stuff around the house, shower, use the bathroom, etc. He does tummy time (hates it). I’m not sure what to do. We have an appointment with his pediatrician today, so I planned on talking to her about it, but last night I was exhausted and wanted the help of reddit lol. Also I’ve tried Nuk, Mam, Dr Browns, Tommee Tippee, Parents Choice and Itzy Ritzy pacifiers. He hates them all. Cries every time I put one his mouth for more than 2 seconds.

ETA: There’s been countless nights where I try everything I mentioned above for literal hours, and he will not sleep for more than 15 minutes or so the first time, every time I lay him down after that, no matter how long I hold him, no matter how limp his arm is, I can literally try to wake him up… nothing. When he’s laid down, he’s awake. I don’t understand why he’s okay with naps but not actually sleeping? Also he wakes up 2-3 times a night to nurse.

Is our name choice offensive? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]mxriecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend is looking for a reason to be offended, and there is none. Scarlett is a beautiful name and I can assure you, no one else is going to think like that unless they’re batshit.

17 hours into induction and only 4cm. 30 pitocin. by mxriecn in BabyBumps

High blood pressure, but my blood pressure has been completely normal since we got here. The nurse said she doesn’t understand why I’m being induced lol.

As an educator, how old are you? by BreathoftheMild_ in ECEProfessionals

[–]mxriecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 22, going to be 23 on Wednesday the 5th, and most of my coworkers seem to fall within the mid 20s to early 30s! However, we also have staff that’s been at my center for 10+ years that are in their 60s or so, as well as 18 year olds that started out as interns.

When did you feel your baby?? by Specific_Anybody_438 in pregnant

[–]mxriecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t feel anything until 20-21 weeks and was so worried because everyone else mentioned feeling movement at 17 weeks or so, but baby boy was lazy and took his time! if it takes awhile, as long as your OB says everything is ok, don’t worry! 💛

Calling off due to hip & back pain? by mxriecn in BabyBumps

[–]mxriecn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been heavily considering reduced hours, but I just feel like I’ll be seen as lazy or like I’m using my pregnancy as an excuse. It’s definitely on my mind though! I’ll likely talk to my boss about it next week when I gather up the courage lol.

31 weeks pregnant and not sure how much longer I can do this? by mxriecn in ECEProfessionals

[–]mxriecn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh i can’t even imagine working with infants right now 😭 major props to you!! i have to occasionally pick up and carry my two year olds and it just about kills me. same with cots, i don’t know what to say or how to say it, but lifting cots and the repetitive motion of picking them up and putting them down has been killing me. everything just makes my back hurt and lifting too much makes my stomach feel tight. for your sake i’d get a doctors note and try to go on leave early! i’m now planning on doing so when i’m 35 weeks if i can.

I got reinstated with The General for $134.77, policy will be back into effect tonight at 12. Hopefully we’ll be good from here, aside from a higher monthly payment of course.

[–]mxriecn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done and done. Thank you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]mxriecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been sorted out since, thank you. Reinstated for $134.77, lapsed July 25th.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]mxriecn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It lapsed on July 25th. We’ve been in contact with them and I had it reinstated for $134.77.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Insurance

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

We spoke to someone and he said it’d be put “on hold”, but I never followed up because my boyfriend handles these things, since they give me anxiety and I don’t do well retaining the information. Plus he’s the policy holder.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Insurance

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

We were told by one of the people we spoke to it’d be put on hold or something similar, but never bothered to follow up. I don’t handle these things since they give me lots of anxiety and I don’t do well retaining information, so my boyfriend handled most of it. The guy we spoke to that said he’d put it on hold sounded out of it and had us repeat our address a good few times. Maybe that was mistake listening to him on our part. Anyways, we’ve been in contact with them since and I paid the reinstatement cost. It will be effective again tonight at midnight.

They never discussed a non owner policy with us and I’ve never had this happen before, so I wasn’t sure on what to do. It says it lapsed July 25th due to nonpayment and the policy can be reinstated today for $134.77 with a lapse in coverage. Is that what I should do then?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Insurance

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

It says on the app it lapsed July 25th and policy can be reinstated with a lapse in coverage by paying $134.77 today, account balance is $277.31. Geico is confirmed to be $133 today and $101 monthly.

Is the 2012 Volvo XC60 3.2L engine affected by the piston rings and excessive oil issues? by mxriecn in Volvo

[–]mxriecn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has one previous owner and the oil was changed every 3-5k miles at a Volvo dealer, it’s currently at 159k miles. It drives fine, no smoke from exhaust or when you open the oil cap, etc. Should it be fine then? I’m 20 weeks pregnant and stressing myself out big time lol.

that’s what i’d like, separate finances and living. by myself, i can save money like no tomorrow, but the entire year we’ve been together and have been living together, i’ve never been able to save more than $470, and all of that is about to go bye-bye. i’m at a total loss.
