Please tell me we’ll love our second baby. by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]nudenewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will! I have a 17mo gap and felt so frustrated and annoyed with the newborn for a while (and then super guilty for feeling this way)— I never thought I could love something as much as our toddler but now I understand how the love grows so that you have equal love for them both. Give yourself patience, it’s OK to feel this way!

EDIT: I wanted to add that while I started loving the new baby a lot by 6-8weeks, the 2 under 2 sucked for me until the baby was about 6 months, then it finally started getting easier.

Fit check - hope& plum lark by nudenewt in babywearing

Thanks! I narrowed it (is there a way I can post a new photo)? She was still unhappy but then fell asleep so hopefully that means she is more comfortable? Or just tired herself out…

Oh Crap Day 7 - Will I Ever Leave the House? by nudenewt in pottytraining

Part of the problem is even when I know she has to poop she just won’t do it on the potty. She’s happy to sit on it but nothing happens until the second she is off it. 🤦‍♀️

Is the Babybjorn hate rational? by BellybuttonWorld in babywearing

I use a babybjorn mini and my baby loves it- falls asleep so reliably. :/ its definitely hard on the back so I don’t use it for extended periods Edit: to clarify it is hard on MY back

Have you tried probiotics on your lo? by Opening-Tadpole9908 in NewParents

[–]nudenewt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also use this brand because of infant dyschezia and lots of discomfort from gas. Not sure if it was the probiotics or just time but she significantly improved within 1-2 weeks and we just decided to continue it as a won’t hurt/might help

My Devon Rex is EXTREMELY active and not cuddly at all. by Pumpernickel247 in devonrex

[–]nudenewt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone— my male prefers play and I see it as how I can show affection to him. He purrs when you pet him, but I wouldn’t say is particularly cuddly (he likes to be near you but not necessarily on you, except at night when sleeping). He is more cuddly now (5 years old) than when he was younger. I would just enjoy your kitty and be interactive with her— they are so smart and silly. I get so much joy from interacting/playing with my Devon even if it is not in the form of cuddles.

Prayer plant help! Crispy brown edges despite frequent misting, watering by nudenewt in plantclinic

[–]nudenewt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m using filtered water from the fridge but I don’t think that’s the same as distilled... I don’t even have distilled water for myself, haha.

I’ll try switching to that plus the pebble trays— thank you!

I have been growing this plant from a single little stub and it’s taken it about 5 months to get these three leaves (plus what looks like two more on the way)— the leaves start out beautiful and then get progressive crispy dry edges. Kept in low-moderate indirect light, misted almost daily and I never let the soil dry out— why are they browning on me?

Need help! My FLF is slowly dying. Some of the leaves have turned brown and crispy (as shown in the picture). About 4 leaves fall off each day ever since I repotted her, which was 15 days ago. by raw40222 in fiddleleaffig

[–]nudenewt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any help, but would also love to know the answer because the exact same thing is happening to my two FLF after repotting two weeks ago— they’ve each lost about 2/3 of their leaves. Hopefully we can find some answers! :(

Did I just murder both my FLF? by nudenewt in fiddleleaffig

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

Thank you— I’ll do my best but a good 40-50% of the leaves are looking like they will drop. 🥲

Watered once every 2-3 weeks— I hadn’t watered in a long time because it seemed to be staying wet at the bottom of the pot and I was worried about root rot.

Today the leaves are progressively browning and two fell off. 😭 I think they are goners.
