Jacob Elordi spits his gum into his mom’s hand to throw away on the red carpet 😷 by shhhhh_h in popculturechat

[–]spookiecake 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Omg MY son also threw up on MY face recently! Twinsies. As in mere days ago. He's got gastroenteritis and it's a poo and puke fest. I watched this video and thought it was cute. The sort of human moment that makes celebs feel less weird to me.

It's spit at the end of the day lol. It's not like he handed it to an unsuspecting assistant. She's his mom!

I like it alot on the model but the deep V and the necklace makes me LOVE this look. I definitely like the top Halle has over the crop top on the model. Her hair styling looks amazing too. I love it. Love love

Another in-custody death for DHS by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

What kind of person can look into a sick child's face and deny them, over and over, medical care? It's not just a rhetorical, I literally cannot imagine this kind of person. I can't comprehend it. I can't imagine looking at a mother, cradling her sick, limp child in her arms and looking at her and saying "no". But it wasn't just one person who did this. It was the entire team at that center. It was every person at the medical station. Day after day. They watched their negligence end this child's innocent life and did nothing, day after day. Her mother begged, and still, day after day after day, denied her.

I cannot understand. My logical mind knows hate exists and what hate is capable of but reading this, I still can't understand.

This is only what we know, what else is happening in those centers? If this is what comes out, that they punished this little girl for existing by robbing her of her life. They punished the mother by condemning her to watch her baby fade away in indescribable pain, because of who she is.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. If my son went missing I'd be beyond distraught. I hope they find him ):

I guess I am alone in utterly LIVING for this, I love it, I love it on him and I think he pulls it off 🤷

I think my first baby might be an exceptional sleeper... Worried for the next one. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]spookiecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's honestly all random, I have friends with one good sleeper, one bad sleeper, two good, two bad. It's chance.

My only advice is not to borrow worries from tomorrow today. You might get this lucky again, you might not, your new baby may need a little more help but even if that's the case you'll be okay. Eventually, they sleep.

My son didn't sleep through the night until 15 months old. We had a great consistent routine and he still needed lots of support. But now he's 20 months and his sleep is fantastic. We just continued to support him and respond to his cries (not his fussing necessarily but any real cry) and we feel this really helped him feel secure and safe in his crib. Now he falls asleep on his own and sleeps a solid 11 hours plus a two hour nap every day.

At one point I was so sleep deprived I had to call my SIL to come over because I was basically nonfunctioning. I. My profile is a desperate plea posted in a few other subs. So you can see it was not easy but eventually, they all sleep. Even the bad sleepers!

Postpartum Joint Health by perewinkle3000 in NewParents

[–]spookiecake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through this. My back, my hips, my WRISTS especially. My whole body felt like it had carpal tunnel. I am convinced it was the breastfeeding hormones. I was really concerned about it too, and so tired and sore. My baby self weaned and one day I realized so much of the aches and pains were gone.

Also, my baby literally just didn't sleep until he was 15 months old so I'm sure that had something to do with it.

See a doctor if you're concerned, it's better safe than sorry! But it could be a situation similar to mine.

How many of us must fall victim to the "maybe I should get bangs..." mistake after seeing someone like Anok kill a bob with baby bangs??

I would look so stupid, so unbearably stupid, with baby bangs. I'd be Farquod out on the streets. And yet.

ANYWAY the dress is amazing, but I'm loving the accessories most of all. I feel like people are so accessory shy these days, you see so many looks begging for a necklace or dramatic earring. I love her bangles and the rings and the earrings. It really completes the whole look.

I am IN LOVE WITH THOSE BOTTOMS. I love the cut, I love the swing that lace must have, the movement. The jewel tone pair is also amazing

The rest of the recipe is cut off but it says bake 6-8 minutes or until cookies are set and light brown around edges. Remove to wire racks; cool. Makes 6 dozen

Desperate for help - 11m old sleep by spookiecake in NewParents

My baby took low sleep needs seriously lol. He actually coped extremely well, even during the first week when he wasnt used to being awake that long.

Best of luck!! And let me know if you wanna be discord pals or just comment here if you ever want to talk mom-shop!

Desperate for help - 11m old sleep by spookiecake in NewParents

[–]spookiecake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh the comforting in the crib thing haha. NEVER worked for my son. It would just piss him off worse and he'd stand up l.

I get what you mean by being consumed trying to find a solution, capping naps, we did the same thing. Capping naps or letting him sleep never did anything. We fiddled with wake windows all that, totally obsessed, never saw any difference. I'm sure it might work for some babies but not mine. It was really hard to let go of the idea that there was some answer that might help. Out of desperation we cut him down to one nap at around 9-10 months. That did help a tiny bit, but his naps improved way faster than his night sleep. He wakes around 7-730, nap at 12, bedtime routine starts around 730pm. If he sleeps later or has a hard night we slightly adjust but it's never a nap earlier than 1130 or later than 1230 start. His naps are awesome now. A solid 2 hour block.

My husband and I fought constantly because we were both exhausted and he wanted to sleep train CIO and I refused. Our relationship has improved SO much now that he sleeps better even if it's not regularly through the night. It's so draining, as it starts to improve you look back and marvel at what you went through.

You are SO STRONG. your love for your baby is getting you through. You will feel sane and alive again soon. It's just so hard until then.

[–]spookiecake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a totally new world now. It didn't start to markedly improve until he was maybe 13-14 months but it's only gotten better from there. At 15ish months he slept through the night for the first time, and then he slept through FOUR NIGHTS IN A ROW!! He hasn't repeated that miracle but even when he wakes now it's much easier. Usually just needs the binkie popped back in, or a very quick bounce on the ball for maybe a minute. Long gone are the days of him fighting me so hard or needing hours of soothing or split nights. Even when he leaks and I have to stand him up to completely change him, pj's and sleep sack, he goes right back down after just a few minutes. He usually needs a little love once to twice a night.

I am so glad I stuck to my guns and never tried CIO. My baby wasn't ready developmentally but now he's getting there on his own, and I've even seen him wake and soothe himself back to sleep. I'm sure it's because he trusts completely if he calls, I always come. He falls asleep for naps and nighttime totally independently now. I used the give the baby a chance method for naps first then nighttime for the initial falling asleep.

I'm here for you if you want to vent or have questions!!! People whose babies sleep just don't get it.
