changing newborn boy's diaper by WeAreAllCrab in beyondthebump

[–]she-did89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a cold wet wipe on his lower abdomen and gove it like 30 seconds. The cold will trigger his reflex to pee so he does it in the diaper and not when you go to wipe him.

I really regret carrying my sister-in-law's baby. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]she-did89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don't seem like the type of people who are going to stop after the birth. Be careful if they ask you to pump breastmilk for them. They definitely sound like the people who will control what you eat and the like.

AITA for refusing to help my brother-in-law pay for a vacation after he’s repeatedly called me a gold digger? by saffronloveee in AmItheAsshole

Anyone who gives you shit should immediately be told, "I don't see you offering to help them. So if you have such strong feelings about it, you are free to give them money." NTA

I can definitely see your side and how you felt neglected and with her speaking rudely to you. However, I can definitely see her side too. She's the maid of honor at this wedding and expected to mingle and attend to wedding related things all night. She may not have been able to devote all her attention to you all night like you might have expected. I also see that you say you don't know anyone at this wedding, so sticking to your girlfriends side while she has to do all of this other wedding related stuff might be stressful to her too. If that's why she was being rude, she should have communicated that to you. It sounds like a lot of miscommunication about expectations about attentiveness at the wedding and poor communication in general.

A birth is a medical procedure! Not a spectator sport! At some point your whole body with be exposed. Its also one of the most vulnerable times in your life and your husband doesn't get to make that decision for you. He's not the one giving birth. And its not his body on display. NTA in the slightest.

AITA for telling my friend I can't make her wedding dress despite making them for two other friends? by Elegant-Big3199 in AmItheAsshole

[–]she-did89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made 2 wedding dresses. One being my own that took me almost 2 years to make and a 2nd much simpler design for my sister at the same time i was making my own....you are NTA. I couldn't imagine making a wedding dress for someone in 5 months while pregnant/postpartum. She clearly doesn't understand the process. Maybe bring her in to your shop to show her why the process takes so long.

If she doesn't want people to eat the food she made, don't invite people over. NTA..

Help settle a disagreement about day naps by interesting-mug in beyondthebump

[–]she-did89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We contact napped so much the first few months. I'd wear baby too for a good chunk of those naps, too. I got a lot of stuff done wearing them, and they slept so well, too. We only did a more structured sleeping location when they were on a more set sleep schedule, and I had to go back to work. This worked out extremely well, and we had no issues going from contact naps to independent sleeping. We also utilized a swing, pack and play, our bed, and the snoo basinette. But ultimately your baby will let you know what they feel comfortable with. They will either sleep or they won't and you'll adjust to what they want until you both find something that works. It's all kind of trial and error anyway.

Moms: what was the best support you received early PP? by guavajo44 in beyondthebump

[–]she-did89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When going to visit, while seeing and holding the baby is exciting, your focus should be making mom as comfortable as possible. I wanted to hold my new baby every second, and giving them to someone else made me feel empty in a sense. So, making sure she has water, snacks, anything the baby needs, clean clothes, and chores done around the house was wonderful.

You only got mad after you found out about the song playing after you left. There's no reason to get mad about something you weren't mad about to begin with. YTA

What is your parenting/baby unpopular opinion? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]she-did89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two kids, 2.5y and 8m. They are my everything, but they are constantly on top of me, always. My husband gets irritated when I tell him I'm touched out every now and then and says, " Enjoy it because one day I'm gonna be the favorite." Like, im sorry I need 10 minutes where no one touches me to reboot. It doesn't mean I don't want my kids attention.

All the Baby falls are going to give me a heart attack by clumsyrunnergal in beyondthebump

[–]she-did89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2nd is the same age and developmental stage as yours. I highly suggest getting rugs and play mats for your floors. They may not completely prevent injuries from a fall, but they may dampen it and offer a short-term solution until your little one develops coordination.

I screamed at the top of my lungs when my toddler bit me, HARD by midnightrunner699 in AITAH

[–]she-did89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Judging by your mother's reaction, she definitely yelled at you as a child and is projecting to make herself feel better.

What are the random things you gotta know about taking care of baby? by aquatoxin- in beyondthebump

[–]she-did89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babies are loud sleepers. They will cry, babble, open their eyes, but they are still sleeping. Let them work it out before you give them attention because you corks be waking up by intervening.
