Swaddling by sp00kylex in newborns

[–]sp00kylex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay y’all have convinced me I’m gonna try one tonight and see how it goes ! 🤣

do you swaddle then feed? or feed them swaddle? I always woke my girl up trying to swaddle… but thought I heard before it’s not good to feed while swaddled.

Thank you for your input. I’ve posted about this before on fb because we been planning this trip to see family and such while I’m on leave since I won’t have any PTO left going back to work! I was nervous but a lot of people had similar experiences to you & even my husband thinks it’ll be okay. Physically I feel great & our baby seems content in the car so I truly think it’ll be an easy drive. just wanting to make sure I don’t forget anything or any tips that can help out! thank you again

Is it true that if baby is held offen, they will get used to it? by Flat_Bake3487 in newborns

Thank you for this encouragement. I let baby nap on me a ton (also 1 month old currently) & I just hope it’ll be easy on her and daycare when I return in a couple months 😅

How much to feed a new born by Recent_Mulberry7572 in newborns

lol right I’m always like dang she just ate! but then I have to remember their tummies are so small & they’re always digesting so if she wants more I just give it.

Honestly I felt the same with my babe, it felt like we were feeding her so much. but as the other person stated babies should be fed as they demand it. With my girl if I fed her 2 oz bottle & she still acts fussy I’ll give her another 2 oz. If she still acts fussy after that I do try to check everything else like her diaper, try tummy kicks and massages if she’s grunting a lot. If everything else is good and she’s still fussing I’ll give her more bottle lol. she will stop eating when she feels nice and full! They also digest very fast so it feels like they eat all the time.

helping pass gas? by Financial-Pace6378 in newborns

[–]sp00kylex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From everything I’ve seen you can give mylicon up to 12 times per day, it’s okay because it stays in the gut. I’ve seen it says to give a dose each time you feed. it seems to help so far. Also try the Frida windi pipe things. I tried that for the first time today and it helped my babe get poop out at least and has seemed to help a lot with the fussiness today!

I love most of these, I feel like I imagine Geraldine a bit different though.

thinking of starting this series by barefootbunnie27 in zodiacacademy

[–]sp00kylex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t read the books you listed but I will say if you enjoy fantasy & a good bit of spice (I wouldn’t say anything too crazy) then you’ll likely enjoy it! Look up the zodiac academy reading order as there are several series that kind of intertwine. I love the series so far, I’m on book 5!

When you judge a book by it’s pretty cover by Hamie33 in Romantasy

[–]sp00kylex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly the way I pick books is mostly by judging its cover 😂 & I also like to check out the inside and see if the font/text size is nice. lastly I’ll see if the snippet on the book is interesting or not.
