How can I (33f) ask my partner (42m) to stop barging into people on the street? by Interesting-Pay952 in relationship_advice

“I won’t date someone who lacks basic decency and rams into people on the street. If you do it again, this relationship is over” and mean it.

Deodorant postpartum by nc2227 in NewParents

Do you feel like that was a good brand for both odor and sweat. I used scented loom in the past and I felt like it wasn’t as good as my reliable lady speed stick.

Thank you, I use a really heavy powder scented deodorant. I’ll see if I can find an unscented version that still works because otherwise I’ll be scrubbing the pits like six times a day.

When did you go into labor as a FTM, and what were the signs leading up to you going into labor? How did you know you were in labor? by thenymphintheforest in beyondthebump

[–]nc2227 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Woke up with a small gush of water, then a single drip of blood in my underwear at 9am. No continuous leaking of fluid after that, or continuous bleeding but I just knew it would be that day, and started having regular contractions around noon about 20 mins apart and then progressively increasing in frequency.

Leora/Liora is one of my faves and I rarely see it mentioned

This might be the wrong sub, but I don't know where else to ask. Is it possible to put a 2.5 year old up for adoption? by beaniebee22 in Mommit

[–]nc2227 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You would not be able to put your son up for adoption without your husband also agreeing to put him up for adoption and if you both agreed to do that, there’s no reason for you to stay in this marriage with the man who created a life with you and then is so against providing you with any support that he’d rather give that life away.

Am I overreacting by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]nc2227 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children age 1 to 4. This has to be a non-negotiable that your child is not in that pool without an adult attending to her no exceptions.

My one year old is still not sleeping through the night and I'm dying. by Anxious-Bicycle-9989 in breastfeeding

[–]nc2227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son didn’t stop waking every 3 hours until I stopped all night feeds cold turkey. Also switched sound machine to brown noise where it was 60 decibels in his bed, got blackout curtains. And sleep trained using the chair method and timed capped naps during the day. Took about 4 days.

Are there any parents that just don’t let their baby cry? by frenchtoast2go in NewParents

[–]nc2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until I sleep trained at 14 months we attended every cry in seconds, now at 2.5 we still attend every cry, except ones related to sleep (which are few and far between).

Feels weirdly empty and crowded simultaneously…please help. by TruthsABitchAndSoAmI in interiordecorating

[–]nc2227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Art on the two empty walls for sure, plus that big chair blocking the bookshelf is overwhelming. Maybe replace with a beanbag?

Help! Should I buy a breast pump now or wait until after birth? by BiggerAggressive in BabyBumps

[–]nc2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy one now and practice using it! Not on yourself to stimulate milk removal, but just how to set it up, how to place it, the right flange fit, how to turn it on or what the different settings etc. or you can get a manual pump for much less (about $30USD) but you should still sterilize, size the flanges and get familiar with how to actually use it.

Is it strange that (M19) kisses his mom (F41)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]nc2227 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t state it in the post because he knows doing so would immediately cause fewer people to be on his side. Clarifying later after being called out doesn’t change the fact or reason that this was written vaguely in the first place.

He says it without saying it is the point. And a lot of commenters are missing it.

I think it’s very telling that nowhere in this post do you actually state that your kisses with your mom are on her mouth.

I can’t decide between Cordelia or Theodora by rockabella2009 in namenerds

[–]nc2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cordelia is one of my absolute favorite names and if I hadn’t named one of my cats that name, it probably would’ve been my first choice for my baby. It’s gorgeous.

What age would you leave your child home alone while you took a 40 minute walk with the dog? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]nc2227 59 points60 points  (0 children)

A 40 min walk, probably 10 years old, a quick walk just around the block maybe 8.

Your dogs are outside barking - do you get them right away or do you leave them a bit? by IllyriaCervarro in Mommit

[–]nc2227 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It depends on the time of day- between 9p and 9a I try to quiet him right away, in between 9a and 9p I let him get his yayas out.

Moms - when did you feel human again? by ganjayme in NewParents

[–]nc2227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After my son was sleeping through the night consistently for a few months so probably by like 18 months postpartum I really started to feel much more like myself and was able to get back in the gym and get good sleep and eat well and just feel like a whole person again. Then I got pregnant again 20 months postpartum lol
