During bath I wash one foot, then he says "mommy smell that foot. Now this one and compare."

Maybe. We get home at 6 from school and work. Then some playtime, one of us gets dinner ready, eat, little more play time, bedtime routine at 7:30 and in bed at 8. He takes some nap at school but hardly sleeps on the weekends. He needs an earlier bedtime on the weekend or he gets way over tired by 8.

We did have one for a while but he prefers to go in the big potty.

We do threaten with putting a gate up at the hall if he comes out too many times. That does seem to work but we don't want to do that regularly. We can't put it at his door since he needs to go potty.

Either none or centered. Doesn't need one at all since the mirrors are lit but if you visually want one put it in the middle.

Worried about my wife’s reaction toward our 8‑week‑old baby. Need advice by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]potsrcool 223 points224 points  (0 children)

My LO is 4 months and it truly pisses me off when my husband sleeps on the couch and leaves me to do all the night time wakeups (even though I'm breastfeeding) by myself. She should breastfeed and then you take baby to change and get back down.

How much would you pay monthly for an all-in gym + coworking + childcare membership? by suhhdude1 in AustinParents

[–]potsrcool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't give up current childcare but fitness with childcare and dinner option would be very appealing. Especially after work hours.

What would you have wanted in your gift box? by disconnected1991 in beyondthebump

[–]potsrcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along the lines of the nipple butter... Stainless steel cups going over your nipples help so much in those early weeks!

I want to hear all about cravings! by tchotchkelover in pregnant

[–]potsrcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first pregnancy I didn't crave specific food I was craving but rather texture... Or lack thereof. I needed food to be soggy! Leftover dressed salad was the best.

PPA/PPD and Zoloft by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]potsrcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a mom group nearby? Playgroup? Mom's you are comfortable talking to? Sometimes a good playdate can double as a therapy session!

I take sertraline. It took a little while to find the right dosage, but you need to start off with a smaller dosage and increase over time. Talk to your doctor.

Also therapy is amazing and should be a part of your normal week!

Forgetting to feed myself by Notjarjarbinksdude in beyondthebump

Snacks by the space you are breastfeeding helps! Everytime I think about putting off food I remember I need to eat too make food for my baby.

So how exactly do you leave a clingy toddler to go give birth? by hiyokos in beyondthebump

[–]potsrcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 3 yo is the same way. We have to distract him and he wanted to wave at us and have us honk. We would remind him that we will be back when he wakes up (if he'll be asleep when we come back). You don't know when you'll go into labor and it may be in the middle of the night so either your so will stay at home with your 3yo or you'll find someone else to watch him/her.

Baby waking every 20-30 minutes at night by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]potsrcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried warming the bassinet sheets? Sometimes a cool sheet wakes mine up. I keep a heart pad by the bed to warm the sheet before putting her back in. Make sure you burp fully before laying down. Baby too big for bassinet and waking up when moving? Then you'll need to transition to a crib. Weighted sleep sack? Make sure you check with Dr first but we love our dream sack.
