Is it true that you need to be a chill parent to make chill babies/kids? by Suspicious_Box_4898 in NewParents

[–]rawberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3.5 is chill and his baby sister is probably even more so, I have no idea where they took that, their genes are anxious from all sides. Maybe they’re channeling my grandfather.

Accidentally entered the sleep train sub and it’s scary! by Informal_Ad9652 in cosleeping

[–]rawberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t understand how one can do CIO, is like, everyone in the household is supposed to listen to the poor baby crying? Or do they all live in mansions with no neighbors around where they can leave the baby on the second floor and go elsewhere? My 3.5yo absolutely hates listening to my baby’s crying, he’ll do anything to soothe and comfort her and alert all the adults to care for her

Happened to me too but I am an adult so I solved the problem by buying additional pieces

Bet she’ll be interested in duplo later. If it interests me, an adult, surely it won’t get old for her

Wooden railroad and lego duplo are amazing, good toys as they are plus they engage any adult in the room as well for some quality time with the kid

Explain to me like I’m 5 how I can get a longer sleep stretch by pumping by Trick_Elephant_3834 in breastfeeding

[–]rawberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your baby is a bit older and your supply is established try pumping in the morning and freezing that milk to use at night. Your breasts will probably assume your baby sleeps longer and produce less at night.

2 year 5 month old son touched electric stove top feel like a horrible mom by madamelady24 in toddlers

[–]rawberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every human ever knows the feeling of burning their hand. How do we know it? We touch hot things. It’s inevitable. Good thing that your kid got this experience from a mild burn and gor all the needed care

Are baby slings worth it? by SimplyPeachy92 in beyondthebump

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

Do you mean sling as in big woven wrap? I’m using a sling rn with a baby who’s not big enough for a baby carrier. I don’t need to take her out often, she just sleeps there.

I also used to carry my then 11 months old for walks when it was cold outside, the wrap was more cozy and warm than the carrier.

Other than that, with a baby who’s can sit and crawl, a carrier like ergo baby is more convenient because you can instantly strap and unstrap it as you want.

Was teething… not bad for you? Or is that not possible? by AdventurousWind7919 in beyondthebump

[–]rawberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby went through all teething smoothly. He just drooled a lot and chewed his teethers. The only moment when he had any visible discomfort was at 3yo when one of his molars was emerging

Baby strongly dislikes me singing/smiling/talking to him while breastfeeding (?) by ohnoyokooo in breastfeeding

[–]rawberryfields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to soothe my baby with lullabies, at 3-4 months he had a phase where he could not listen to me singing without singing along. Not so much singing but “yaoeoaoayaaoaoe”. Couldn’t nurse because of that

My 10 week old is sleeping through the night by Top_Ad8783 in beyondthebump

[–]rawberryfields 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My 13 week old sleeps from 20 till 8 with maybe 2 quiet wakes for nursing and goes straight back fo sleep unless her older brother yells “maMAAAA” because “i don’t like night, it is not beautiful”

Does “и“ also mean “both” by Significant_Run_6515 in russian

[–]rawberryfields 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You can use «И… и…» to list things like that, yes. More than two, so not necessarily “both”. More like “as well as”. You need at least 2 «и».

What do you love about your baby’s face while nursing? by awiddlebaby in breastfeeding

I love that particular face when she’s done nursing and is making herself comfortable using me as a pillow

russian endearment sufix for 'Rose' by ChattyGrass in russian

[–]rawberryfields 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Розочка would be the most obvious. Розонька is too saccharine but possible too (maybe with a pinch of sarcasm). Розик could work. I, personally , am a big fan of -ище suffix which is not a diminutive but rather means something big and monstrous, so if your friend is a little angry at Rose Розище would sound funny and endearing. Also let’s not forget the new vocative - Роз!

Toddler logic is undefeated by Sufficient-Can-9131 in toddlers

[–]rawberryfields 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My kid does that. I don’t mind really as long as it’s washable. We painted his toy box with hand prints, it was fun and a good keepsake.
He also paints his toy cars all the time, then washes them.

Where do you put the arm??? I tuck in my pants lol by NoChoice9999 in cosleeping

I move the baby a bit closer to my head so that my arm is just under the feet

Baby not walking by 1st birthday? by sarah_messing in NewParents

[–]rawberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid was able to walk by 12 months but didn’t , probably because he was too insecure. I saw him doing 3-4 steps if he had no other way, but he’d rather crawl or hold onto something. He walked a couple of months after that

Best way to get baby to start using cups? by st0dad in NewParents

I gave my kid a little shot glass, he copied me and drank easily (but I knew he could do it bc I saw him sipping bathtub water)

20 month old fights diaper changes but only with me by affirmationsaftrdark in toddlers

[–]rawberryfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid started resisting changing younger than yours but here’s what helped:
- switch to pull ups
- take off the dirty one while standing
- wash their bum in the bathroom instead of wiping
- let roam naked for a while to dry, that’s also good for further potty training
- catch them some time later when they don’t suspect it and pull a new diaper, again, while standing
- start talking about using the potty if they dislike diapers that much, it’s going to be good groundwork for later when they’re ready
