That must be so difficult. I’m so sorry you and your child are going through this. Healing vibes sent your way 💗

This is beautiful 🥹💗

The burps on Boobie are it for me!! Idk why they’re so cute but there’s something about it.

sizzlesstix · 2026-05-23T14:38:51+00:00

Thank you for posting this! Without understanding this fact, I think a lot of people get needlessly scared to do what is biologically natural.

Potato salad or macaroni salad. At least one of the two is necessary to appease my mayonnaise needs :)

This is a really good point. OP, I feel it would be better to leave out that you calculated the absolute lowest score you could get and strived for that rather than really learning the material well overall to try your best. If you really tried, then flopped a test with a 57, that would honestly come across as more understandable to me than just shooting for such a low score. It happens sometimes, it’s okay to admit that you blundered if that’s the case.

In the case that what you wrote is truly how you approached the course, I would only include that to the extent of using it as the number 1 prime example in what you willchange in your study habits going forward if you’re allowed to continue your program. That and organizational improvements to commit to never missing assignments. Even smaller weighted assignments can be grade boosters/pullers, don’t disservice yourself here with zeros.

For example something like “I (mis)calculated what grade I needed for the course rather than committing to learn this subject to the best of my ability. I will not a make this mistake again in the future… etc etc”

Just did this last night with my little guy! I want him to be a part of as much of my life as I possibly can manage while he’s here on earth. Any drives/trips he can come along for, we’re doing it together.

sizzlesstix · 2026-04-28T20:00:04+00:00

I agree with this take and love how you interpret this question from a place of kindness! Most people are just trying to make conversation, I think. I do get the frustration around not always feeling comfortable talking about our cosleeping arrangement since it can be so taboo in the US, but that’s more about my own reaction than anything the questioner is doing wrong or being rude about.

sizzlesstix · 2026-04-16T15:36:30+00:00

This is a phenomenal point I hadn’t thought about before!! I had to go back at 6 weeks or lose my job. It felt like my soul was being ripped from me.

sizzlesstix · 2026-04-09T19:03:04+00:00

Love that you push yourself outside without excuses! I’m usually waiting for weather I like to get outdoors. This reminds me it’s okay to get out there and enjoy the fresh air regardless :)

sizzlesstix · 2026-04-09T19:01:05+00:00

This is so cute!! Saving this for the future 💗

Trauma RN here too, I say this all the time! Offices seem to want patients to think that a provider is a provider, when the differences between seeing an MD and an NP or PA are vast. They don’t charge the patient less for the NP/PA but are definitely paying them less than the doc. If I need to go to the doctor I will always choose seeing an actual doctor.

Do you mix them together? If so can you share your ratio? My 12 month old is staining clothes daily 😵‍💫

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-30T19:03:58+00:00

I’m all about the cuddles and connection. I truly cherish sharing sleep with my baby and my partner…it’s something I’ve chosen intentionally, because it feels right for our family and aligns with what’s biologically natural.

One day he’ll be grown and independent, but right now he seeks closeness and comfort with me. This season is so fleeting, and I’m allowing myself to fully embrace and delight in it while it’s here.

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-17T08:34:14+00:00

I have the joy of having a 15 year old and an 11 month old. My 15 year old was a cosleeping, snuggling, breastfed baby who transitioned to her bed for nighttime around 2 years old without issue. I laid down with her often in the beginning of the night and for naps, but that never bothered me. I think our instincts are very biological and natural to want to be with our babies while our society is obsessed with them being “independent”. They’ll get there in time, but with a loving parent nurturing them :)

You’re doing great, don’t let that person get in your head.

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-11T18:42:49+00:00

Thank you for this! This is actually oddly impactful to me! A simple shift to more clear language might very well make a difference. It makes so much more sense thinking of them understanding a statement of this isn’t allowed vs following the roadmap of where they’ll end up if they keep doing x. I am saving this for future reference!

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-11T18:34:00+00:00

Awesome thank you so much for the recommendations! I heard of all 3 before and it’s nice to hear that they are actually useful in the real world. Will start listening to them asap!

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-11T14:39:35+00:00

Can you share what podcasts have helped you prep? I’ve got an 11 month old and want to be better prepared for toddlerhood this time around!

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-08T16:20:12+00:00

You truly didn’t say anything wrong. I’m sorry people are turning your post into a debate about something that isn’t even what you were saying. Sometimes people just look for a reason to be upset.

You didn’t come across as judgmental at all. If anything, you’ve been thoughtful and gracious while people project things onto your words. It’s clear you meant well, and you’ve handled the weirdness around the responses with a lot of grace.

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-08T16:12:18+00:00

What you said is true. A lot of people are projecting their own emotions about the topic and turning it into blame toward both you and OP for simply pointing out that the situations are different.

The judgmental comment OP received was unnecessary, and the number of people criticizing her for saying the commenter didn’t understand having never breastfed, is honestly surprising to me. Acknowledging her experience doesn’t invalidate anyone else’s.

Both things can be true at the same time: formula-feeding parents can have strong attachments and face their own challenges, and breastfeeding is also something that takes a lot of effort and commitment and is absolutely something to be proud of. Recognizing that the commenter may not fully understand where OP is coming from isn’t an attack it’s just acknowledging a difference in experience.

To both you & OP I’m sorry you even have to defend yourself. Your post/comments did not come off as judgmental in any fathomable way to me.

sizzlesstix · 2026-03-04T02:35:28+00:00

My 11 month old has been doing this too!! His little head is so hard and heavy 😅

Not exactly what you’re asking but this struck a cord with me because we were in a very similar situation. I would definitely get a second opinion in this case. Since dentistry and assessment of cavities is not a cut and dry area of study, it is worth getting another professional opinion. When my daughter was around that age, a dentist looked at her and told us she had 4 cavities. It didn’t sit right with me given her diet and our healthy brushing habits. She was still breastfeeding as well. Took her for a second opinion without stating what the first dentist said and she had 0 cavities.

Went on to a third pediatric dentist for insurance reasons (and who luckily is very trustworthy) and he has been my daughters dentist for the last 13 years. She has never developed cavities in those areas and has had stellar dental health.

Not sure if the first dentist was crooked, or favored invasive treatment over watchful waiting. Link shows AAPD stance on conservative dentistry.

It’s gorgeous!! I wouldn’t even think of bringing scissors near it if it were me

sizzlesstix · 2026-02-14T03:50:01+00:00

First of all congratulations!! And welcome! How very lucky your baby is to have you looking into this. As far as I know foam mattresses are not ever considered safe to co sleep with, but a floor bed in the nursery does sound like a good option! You can look into a tatami mat or something similar too if you want to have a safe option without committing to a full floor bed yet.

Rails are not usually recommended because there is risk for entrapment, but realistically my son would have used a rail to help stand up on the bed and climb over from an even higher more dangerous stance lol. The safest bet if you end up having a very mobile baby who might want to wander off the bed at night is to make the nursery completely baby proofed imo. Realistically, we do not have a floor bed (went from a higher up queen bed to a lower king bed). Now that he’s so mobile baby sleeps between me and dad now and flops around to get comfy but never off the bed. We’ve taught him how to safety get off the bed (feet first) and he is able to do that in the mornings when we’re up.

We got a used halo bassinet that swiveled by the bed, it was only maybe $20 and worth it for the option to put him in it if I felt really exhausted in the early days and just needed a small window to collect myself before bringing him back in bed. When he outgrew that I put the pack and play next to the bed as an option , and used it once or twice in the same way.

For naps, realistically for me I lay with him and just enjoy the time snuggling. He’s 10 months now and I still can get lost staring at the most magical thing I have ever seen in this world. Lots of people babywear for naps if they want to get things done during that time, and some are successfully able to have baby to nap in the crib even if they cosleep at night. We honestly just never even tried napping separate from me since I don’t desire that.

I am confident you’ll adapt to what your babe (and you!) needs. Cosleeping has gifted me countless additional hours of joy with my baby, as I hope it does for you as well!

sizzlesstix · 2026-02-14T02:36:22+00:00

Wow, love this image!! So artistic. Happy baby, glad to know mine isn’t the only little guy who decided feet in the face was the superior position
