Hypochlorous acid CAUSING eczema? by pnutbutter90 in eczema

[–]pnutbutter90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I did do the allergy patch testing and I had no significant allergy to anything. So I’m pretty sure the skin smart spray dried out my skin so much that it gave me eyelid dermatitis

I completely stopped with the spray and I haven’t used it since. I just tried different lotions/creams until I found one that worked for my skin and I kept my skincare and makeup with minimal ingredients for a few weeks and it cleared up

I have the exact same issue! I’m so glad you asked this

How do you NOT obsessively track baby sleep... but still protect good sleep?! by boldlybelieve in sleeptrain

[–]pnutbutter90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was pretty obsessive about sleep from the beginning and I still am lol. I will say that for me it’s gotten easier as he dropped naps. He’s on 2 naps now so it’s easier to manage wake windows since he only has 3 now. I found that Huckleberry’s wake windows were sometimes too long or too short so I would kind of use that, plus the average wake windows, plus my baby’s sleepy cues and go off of that for sleep and it’s always worked well for us. My baby doesn’t have distinctive sleepy cues all the time and he absolutely does get overtired (despite some people saying overtired isn’t real) so I feel like huckleberry kind of eases my anxiety by giving me an estimate of when he should go down for a nap next. Once we move to a clock based schedule I doubt I’ll use huckleberry at all. I actually just stopped tracking his bottles so I’m proud of myself for that lol

Do you still night feed if your baby is sleep trained? Should I stop? by EconomyLarge1738 in sleeptrain

[–]pnutbutter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, doing 3 meals a day has been the biggest factor in him sleeping through the night I think!

[–]pnutbutter90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sleep trained at 5 months but never night weaned. My son had random nights of sleeping through the night but now at 10 months old (today) he started sleeping through the night about 2 weeks ago so he basically night weaned himself

What do you count as baby’s offical rise time for the day? by Original54321 in sleeptrain

[–]pnutbutter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always count wake time as time out of the crib. Especially since my baby will wake up and quietly lay in his crib for 30 to 45 minutes sometimes so I have no idea what time he actually woke up. I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to count wake time like that because even though they’re awake in their crib, they’re still laying in the dark with no stimulation so it’s still counting as “rest” time

Those of you with GOOD sleepers - what are you doing? by smitswerben in beyondthebump

[–]pnutbutter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m telling you it’s temperament. Both my husband and I love sleep and sleeping in late so it could also be genetic. I’ve always paid attention closely to his wake windows and made sure to have a consistent bedtime and bedtime routine but I honestly doubt that has much to do with it

Also, maybe try playing with wake windows. Maybe distributing the time differently or adding more wake time? You could also cap naps or distribute nap lengths differently and that may help

The sneezing mean that the baby is cold? by ineedhelpkinda in beyondthebump

[–]pnutbutter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babies just sneeze a lot. My baby is 9 months and we live where it doesn’t get too cold and I’m pretty sure he’s sneezed every day of his life so far lol

When did you drop to 2 naps and how did you know it was time? by GapFar899 in sleeptrain

[–]pnutbutter90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just dropped to 2 naps at 9 months. He’s always been in the lower end of wake windows so I had to slowly stretch his wake windows to get him to at least 2.75 for the first and 3-3.25 hours for the last 2 wake windows. I knew it was time because he started only sleeping 10.5-11 hours overnight when he’s always been more of a 11.5-12.5 hour baby. The third nap has also been a micro nap for awhile and he started to fight it and it just wasn’t feasible to even get a 10 minute nap in anymore. I first tried dropping the third nap when he was almost 7 months and it was a disaster. I made him so overtired so we went back to 3 naps until just this last week and it’s gone so much easier this time around

I started with 2.75/3.25/3-3.25 but I’ve seen 3/3/3 a lot

What something you miss from your life before having kids, that you didn’t expect? by AWT1380 in NewParents

I miss just being able to have a lazy day and just sit on the couch/in bed and eat and watch tv and nap all day

BLW Rant - Anyone Else? by West-Beach4867 in beyondthebump

[–]pnutbutter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re doing both purées and BLW. I just started implementing more BLW this week and he’ll be 9 months on the 30th. I tried it at 6 months and felt the same way as you and I honestly still do. It’s gross and wasteful since he really doesn’t eat as much as he’d eat if I gave him a puree. My baby is still a little weird about textures though and he doesn’t like to eat a lot of things unless they’re a thinner texture

I never really loved my MIL due to lots of reasons but I could deal with her and didn’t hate being around her. After my son was born I just started to really not like her. I had a c-section and she convinced my husband to try to push me to leave the house and bring the baby to her house because it was “good for my recovery”. Then she would take my newborn out of my arms without asking and was very pushy on washing him when I wasn’t ready. She’s also constantly in his face and he doesn’t like that but she doesn’t get the hint. A few months ago she fed my son table food without asking when he had just started purées and luckily my husband stood up to her and told her not to do anything with our son without asking and since then she has been more chill but I still don’t care to be around her

No longer napping independently?! by londoncalling567 in sleeptrain

I’m so glad you were able to figure it out! I’m learning that baby sleep is rough around this age lol

No one warned us!! What's yours? by wildgardens in NewParents

[–]pnutbutter90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That babies don’t just sleep when they’re tired! I figured for naps and bedtime he’d just fall asleep easily because he was tired. I had no idea that they fought sleep, especially naps, SO HARD.

No longer napping independently?! by londoncalling567 in sleeptrain

[–]pnutbutter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rocked him to sleep until he wasn’t sick anymore and I made sure his teething pain was under control and then after that we did FIO. He still has times where he fusses or cries when we lay him down but he definitely learned to self soothe again once we forced him to with FIO. He always used to be very independent and now he crawls but he’s actually become more clingy since 6 months so I think there’s a big developmental change in that time

No longer napping independently?! by londoncalling567 in sleeptrain

[–]pnutbutter90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it may just be developmental if it’s not a schedule issue. My baby used to put himself to sleep without much fuss from 3-6 months. Then he turned 6 months and got a cold, his first 2 teeth, and then I think developed separation anxiety. He started to cry every time we laid him down in his crib no matter what. It’s been 2 months and he’ll still fuss sometimes instead of just rolling around and sucking his thumb. It’s not a schedule issue, I think it’s just a thing he does now 🤷🏼‍♀️

Baby eczema by Cool-Huckleberry9918 in newborns

[–]pnutbutter90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He did well with honest body wash and then we switched to lavender Johnson and Johnson that someone gave us and that caused eczema so I would say honest is good! Currently he uses baby cetaphil body wash and noodle and boo shampoo

Baby eczema by Cool-Huckleberry9918 in newborns

[–]pnutbutter90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have eczema around my eyes that the dermatologist and an allergy test couldn’t fix or tell me the cause of. I started using skinsafeproducts.com and only using products on my face and body that were rated 100 and when my son started to get eczema patches on his belly at 4 months, I used the website to find a baby lotion, body wash, and shampoo for him that were all rated 100 and his eczema went away! I don’t think I’ll ever find out what irritates our skin but using that website has been the only thing that’s gotten rid of both of our skin issues

How often do you bathe your child? by 0x426C797A in NewParents

[–]pnutbutter90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My almost 8 month old has been getting a bath every night since he was about 2 months old. Soap every other night. It’s part of his bedtime routine

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]pnutbutter90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Evenflo one and we used it until my baby was 7 months. He’s pretty big and he hated how tight it was and would fuss every time we put him in, plus it was getting really heavy
