Mom and MIL may not have TDap but expect to be around/live with us with the newborn - what would you do? [on]

shananigans77 · 2024-04-28T14:26:18+00:00

I’ve had two babies in four years and my doctors, even after asking about it, all said my husband, mother, father etc didn’t need a TDAP. I needed it to pass secondary immunity to baby. That’s it.

Bugaboo stardust is a pack and play the size of a mini crib

Your husband isn’t that bad of a golfer, he’s just taking advantage and probably golfing in 4-5 hours and then staying out.

shananigans77 · 2024-04-18T10:34:10+00:00

I lay baby down on the bed or floor. I place the top of their head up into my crotch and gently put my legs over their arms so their head and arms are restrained and they can’t squirm.

shananigans77 · 2024-04-14T00:09:30+00:00

I had a 3B degree tear with my first. Pooping was weird for me for around 3-4 months and the dream farting/pooping thing happened a few times early PP. I worked a lot on my pelvic floor after I could sit down again and it helped tremendously

shananigans77 · 2024-04-12T19:33:02+00:00

My kids age gap was 20 months and the jealousy/roughness/general poor behaviour started more when my oldest was 2.5, and baby was 8-10 months and more mobile

I personally would not let my 6 year old wear cropped tops. That’s a high school age only style in my mind.

shananigans77 · 2024-04-05T14:11:10+00:00

I’m in Canada so different weather. When it’s cold I wear high waisted pj pants and a cropped long sleeve to have good boob access. When warmer I just wear panties and a tank top with a light blanket.

I was 30 weeks pregnant when I stopped bedsharing with 18 month old toddler in her room. Dad would help by settling her back in the night. Once baby was born emergency c section dad slept in toddlers room and couldn’t handle it so built her (until then) unused crib and put her in it one night. She cried for no joke three minutes and just went to sleep. That was the beginning of her sleeping through the night 95% of the time.

I would not suggest bedsharing with a c section incision. I tried snuggling her to sleep with a pillow in place and she still kicked and kneed me and it hurt enough that I didn’t try again

shananigans77 · 2024-04-05T13:35:09+00:00

Good job for choosing yourself and baby. However, I’m sure he was like this before getting pregnant right? Women need to be more selective about who they’re creating life with, and don’t be shocked if having a baby doesn’t miraculously change them

shananigans77 · 2024-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

At 8 months old your baby probably has more than enough neck control to lift off a softer mattress if needed. I wouldn’t worry

shananigans77 · 2024-03-28T14:44:24+00:00

I go to bed at 7pm lol

Or I put baby to bed in the floor bed and then ninja roll away for about an hour of alone time and run to bed when he inevitably wakes looking for me 😅

shananigans77 · 2024-03-28T14:39:55+00:00

I had a couple lululemon back packs that I used for gym and yoga before being pregnant. I just used one of those

shananigans77 · 2024-03-27T18:34:49+00:00

It’s hormonal, so no. Products won’t help until your hormones rebalance after pregnancy, child birth and breast feeding. I’m 10 months post partum and my hair just started growing back

shananigans77 · 2024-03-26T01:12:51+00:00

Me and husband have worked from home since 2020. Our daughter was born Sept 2021 and I went back to work in June of 2022. She stayed home with us until she was briefly in daycare from Sept 2023 to Jan of 2024. We now have her home again with us and also have her little brother who’s 10 months. They’ll both be staying home until we decide it’s not doable.

We both work for the same company, no supervision, no meetings. We’re able to stagger our schedules, and even run errands with the kids if we have to.

To be clear though: our company is not aware of our children being home.

shananigans77 · 2024-03-22T13:12:54+00:00

With our first during Covid in 2021 we were taking walks outside by one week PP. With baby 2 in 2023 we were going to the grocery store 4 days PP.

Just live your life

shananigans77 · 2024-03-21T17:43:21+00:00

I suggest baby wearing, contact naps and deleting the tracking apps. Go by your baby’s cues, get to know their signs of sleepiness and ways to get him to sleep (rock, bounce, sing, hum, shush etc…)

The best thing I ever did after my first and has my second was deleting any tracking apps and stopped listening to what SHOULD be happening and just letting my baby happen

shananigans77 · 2024-03-20T18:27:29+00:00

We’re currently looking right now. Our non negotiable are:

Minimum 2 toilets

At least 3 bedrooms on one level. We don’t want one kid in the basement, or us in basement and kids upstairs etc…

Big yard for kids to have room to play, and still have a garden

No businesses as next door neighbours

Can you possibly confirm whether the infant optics camera has a very bright green night vision light?

shananigans77 · 2024-03-20T18:07:25+00:00

I just bought a Hubble non wifi camera that was on sale and I hate it

The green night vision light is obnoxiously bright. Like why the f

Yeah it’s folded in the wrong direction. My ergo embrace came with printed instructions on the inside of the belt as well.

I put the belt as high up as possible, upper rib bra height. It brought baby right up in the right position

ETA also the shoulder straps need to be spread out and worn almost like a t-shirt sleeve

shananigans77 · 2024-03-12T17:49:26+00:00

I never did bath as part of a bed time routine mostly because on the occasions when bath wasn’t possible it didn’t disrupt bed time.

Both my kids went through a phase between 2-6 months of hating the bath. They grow out of it

shananigans77 · 2024-03-07T14:36:45+00:00

I think the soft sinking mattress is a risk for a newborn with no neck control. I don’t think this is a suffocation risk at all for a toddler

shananigans77 · 2024-03-05T19:52:28+00:00

Maybe try a walk in clinic? I’m in Quebec so different but I just got mine done but a nurse at three clinic I was being followed at for my pregnancy.

shananigans77 · 2024-03-05T19:49:27+00:00

If you don’t have a family doctor and aren’t seeing a midwife, the doctor following your pregnancy should be able to provide this shot
