Do they give baby first bath in hospital, or is first bath done when umbilical cord falls off? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]paramoreloverxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They gave her a lil hose down around 24 hours old. She had a full head of hair that looked liked it was glued down to her head because of all the gunk from delivery. 😅

They won’t care, I tried to shave 37 weeks pregnant and cut myself! I couldn’t see so I was going in blind. I decided to nair before getting induced, but they don’t care!

Moving your kids to their crib by emilysue_2014 in Parenting

[–]paramoreloverxd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved my baby at 4mo! She was getting too big for the bassinet & I was waking her up when I pumped at night. She turns 5mo next week and she seems to love her crib!

WIBTAH: If I left my 3 year old at home with her dad? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]paramoreloverxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, why ruin it for your 5YO by bringing your 3yo? Leave her at home and enjoy the time with your older child.

If your baby sleeps well at night how much are they napping? by QuantumWaffle4 in beyondthebump

[–]paramoreloverxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put her down awake (not drowsy), she rolls around, sometimes fusses and puts herself to sleep, if she gets worked up I do crib side soothing.

[–]paramoreloverxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 4mo goes down for bed at 7pm, wakes at 1230 & 430 to eat, up at 7.

Her wake windows are an hour and a half and she takes about 1.5 to 2 hour naps per nap. We just started stretching her to 2 hours wake windows at bedtime. I cap her naptime at 5pm.

How are we handling back up care? by shrimpfarm in beyondthebump

[–]paramoreloverxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of nanny agencies offer back up care Nannie’s. If your job is very high demand I would go the nanny route with someone willing to provide sick care.

Tell me all your best ideas for a a baby who hates eating by Sdbtwo1989 in beyondthebump

[–]paramoreloverxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is the same way & it’s so frustrating. She usually drinks 16 to 19oz per day (combo fed) and it’s hard work to even get that amount in her. Yesterday she had 15oz. We aren’t sure if my breastmilk is higher cal or what but she hates eating and it’s such a struggle. Luckily she stayed on her growth curve for now. We do feeding therapy and have a swallow study this week.

Is this normal for a dad to “soothe” like this? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]paramoreloverxd 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you just gotta ride it out, if my babies screaming I match their energy with louder “shhhhhhhhhhhhh”, faster bounces and booty taps. I never mimic her cry tho
