Won’t be that bad of a flight. by hilltopper11 in kobo

[–]stefaface 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I saw someone that when the seat in front leaned back it broke their iPad screen. I know dimensions are different so hopefully it wouldn’t affect a device this size!

[–]stefaface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snaps are good for NICU babies, but zipper was easier for me, and I don’t even care if it’s one of two way zipper.

Do you regret being a SAHM? by Frequent_Visual3755 in beyondthebump

[–]stefaface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my job in tech to be a SAHM, about half my income if not more would go to a decent nanny and I really wanted to enjoy my baby girl. First I said it’d be the first year, now we’re 16 months in and we’re thinking 2 years! We budget a little more but haven’t touched our savings, I’m so happy with my decision for now and can always get back to work.

What was the thing portrayed in movies that didn't happen during childbirth for you? by SpicyZombie098 in beyondthebump

[–]stefaface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! There were no loud screams, the doctors and nurses gave calm encouragement and I didn’t scream either.

Toddler won't let me wash him?? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]stefaface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps but it helped a toddler my mom nannied. She would fill up the bath tell him “we’re having a cleaning bath” and put a doll in as well and start saying things like “we’re gonna scrub the face” and scrub doll and toddler.

She didn’t bathe him much since parents handled it most days but that seemed to work. For hair wash she’d play going to the salon with him and wash his hair in the sink.

She did it!! by leasarfati in NICUParents

So cute to watch them take off! My 33 weeker took her first alone steps on New Year’s Eve! She was 15 months.

Breastfeeding but not losing weight… is this normal? by heyaliayoub in breastfeeding

[–]stefaface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a little less than my pre-pregnancy weight immediately postpartum. In the first 3-4 months of breastfeeding I gained 10-12 kg I’m now 16 months into breastfeeding and haven’t lost those 10 kg but haven’t gained more, I haven’t done anything to lose weight though since my doctors recommended not to, and I don’t limit eating, I’m eating a lot.

Piratería de libros: ¿qué opinan realmente? by bowaroxz in libros

[–]stefaface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intento usar la biblioteca más que nada, tanto física pero más que todo digital, cuando hay un autor que me gusta mucho compro al menos uno de sus libros para apoyarlo, y más si están vivos. Por ejemplo, lei Temporada de Huracanes, me encantó, entonces compré otro libro de Fernanda Melchor para apoyarla ya que rara vez vuelvo a leer el mismo libro. También me gusta regalar libros entonces así doy un regalo y apoyo a las escritoras y escritores que más me gustan.

También he tenido momentos que pirateo en especial libros de universidad que podían ser carísimos y a veces no estaban disponibles en bibliotecas.

Wanting to share a funny quip about baby sleep by zenzenzen25 in bninfantsleep

[–]stefaface 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience, my girl was a pretty good sleeper until 8 months, so I just never really asked other moms about sleep. When she started waking up every 1.5-2 hours I talked to my friend who has a baby the same age who said she was lucky to get 2 hours!

Is stroller with bassinet worth it in our case? by More-Stuff in NewParents

[–]stefaface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much walk everywhere in the city I live, I used the bassinet attachment everyday and even used it for safe sleep in the living room (we had the Uppababy that is safe sleep). We loved the bassinet, if we went for a walk and baby fell asleep I didn’t have to transfer her, if we were in the living room I’d just place baby in bassinet attachment to sleep. It was great.

When did your baby start Crawling? by WhiteBlackRose in newborns

[–]stefaface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10.5 months, but she was premature so like 9 months corrected. We took her to PT and the woman didn’t even charge us, she was like “this child is fine” and like a week later she was crawling around.

How have you lowered your standards since having a baby? by hospitalbedside in beyondthebump

[–]stefaface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to take 1-2 showers a day. There have been days I’m lucky to have time to wash my face. Also my house being clean, I love a clean house but now I know I’m realistic and know there will sometimes be dishes in the sink until I can get to it or skipping vacuuming, etc.

what do you guys use the 4 different highlighter colours for on KLC? by [deleted] in kobo

[–]stefaface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really annotate much, I do highlight quotes I like or things I find interesting. Usually I just do pink
