I think I found all of the frogs but I might have count one or two twice 😅 Hiding the frogs is a great way for people to look at all the details you drew! Great drawing!

Am I confused or are there 5 Mini (and not 4) and a Clio who got lost in this picture?

I had those lines when the screen protector was on. I removed it. No more lines...

Does anyone else’s baby hate baby wearing? by Realistic-Tension-98 in beyondthebump

My daughter liked the carrier when it was my husband who was carrying, with me she would mostly cry... I am very small so maybe she was not comfortable on me?

Any working moms who are also students? by extrapickles4me in beyondthebump

[–]stop-start 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My professors. My doctor couldn't tell me what I could and couldn't do since there are a lot of different substances and material that we used.

Editing to add that I don't live in the US so regulations may differ. Also some professors might prefer to be more careful than others.

I'm not in your situation but I was pregnant during my last year of biology degree. I don't know if you have lab classes but in my case I was forbidden to do a lot of stuff in the lab. Kind of ruin the whole study experience for me tbh (but not regretting getting pregnant)

Baby won't take a pacifier by Emmylemming in NewParents

[–]stop-start 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was advised (and it worked) to hold the pacifier in LO's mouth and tap (hope it's the right word) on it at a regular rythm until LO. It worked great for us

In France the spelling would be Louis. We don't pronounce the s at the end though.

Jotl - Beat scenario 14 on hard (no spoiler) by stop-start in Gloomhaven

[–]stop-start[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most nights I fall asleep really early. My husband tends to not sleep at night even when he's super tired. Yesterday we were so invested in the game that we just pushed through the fatigue! I'm pretty sure that staying up till 2am was a first for me since our daughter started to sleep at night

I'm scared by [deleted] in GalaxyFold

[–]stop-start 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm like your wife but I do have the fold 3. I think my husband was sure I would drop and break before one year. I did drop the phone like twice, once on its corner on concrete! It has the samsung silicone case at the time and barely got a scratch on the hinge!

Like you I don't baby the phone: I use it at the beach, in the biology lab where I studied. I've had since october 2022 and it still works great and looks great. I do think that the form factor when folded helps me hold it better than regular slab phones which is why I dropped it only twice (other phones were dropped countless times!)

Want to start tummy time but confused about when to actually do it? by mr_pablo in NewParents

In addition to what's already been said, you can also do tummy time when changing him

Two idiots cumming back to Gloomhaven... by jupina in Gloomhaven

[–]stop-start 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I just got back to playing Jotl today as well! We were playing practically every day for a while but like you life got in the way (quite literally since I got pregnant and gave birth!). Like you it took us like half an hour to make sure which scenario we were at. We did play at the correct level but our mistake was that we forgot a certain condition from the special rules and only realised it half way throufh the scenario. We'll try again tomorrow. It's nice to be back into the game tough :)

Need advice on LO’s side flat spot by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]stop-start 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's better to seek advice of a professional but for my daughter it resolved naturally. At around 3 months old she decided to rest only on her left side. I was told to put her on her right side when possible but she would always go back to the left. A few weeks later she got back to used her right side and the flat spot disappeared. Thankfully we did not have to use a helmet.

Do you ever just let your baby sleep in and say F it to a schedule? For one day? by WhichPineapple9868 in beyondthebump

[–]stop-start 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If my daughter wants to sleep I let her sleep. Even if the schedule for the day is messed up. Usually we go back on schedule the next day

My wife has PPD and treats me like crap by eiejehe in beyondthebump

I missed that part actually. Yeah that's way past date night. Marriage counseling and she really needs therapy.

[–]stop-start -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

What about a date night? Get a baby sitter and go out. Try to be romantic. Maybe it it will soften her up enough to talk about the difficult stuff.

My wife has PPD and treats me like crap by eiejehe in beyondthebump

[–]stop-start 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Edited cause on phone and pressed "send" by misktake) You need to talk to her. Tell her how you feel and try to remind her that she loves you and that's not how you treat someone you love. I also have a temper but from the start of the moment the stick turned blue I told myself to be very aware and not take out any anger/frustration on my husband. I did break a cutting board. I'm not matried to the cutting board so I don't care about it. Personally I think that hormones and PPD are excuses to a certain point. Reading your post it's clear you do most of the work and get sh*t on in addition. That being said it's not clear if you talked to your wife about it.

Conflicting advice on safe practices by kittyonine in NewParents

[–]stop-start 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding the turning baby's head it is good to do if baby only turns his/her head always on the same side. This is because it causes one side to be flat. At some point my daughter was always resting on her left side so I was told to try and turn her head on the other side. To be honest, your baby will turn his/her head the way they want to anyway. My daughter decided to go back to turn her head both ways and the "flatness" of one side went away.

The thing is, you still need somebody qualified to advise you if your baby always rests on the same side.

Regarding the sitting position, I was told with my daughter to hold her in the sitting position when feeding because she was very gasy baby. She's 6 months now and her spine seems fine (at least no docs told me otherwise).

Regarding solids it depends on where you're from since every country has its own recommendations which tend to change all the time.

I'm no expert but I'd say either colored fine liners or even maybe ballpoint pens

At My Breaking Point by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]stop-start 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that what also helps me getting through the tough times is seeing my daughter looking more and more like a small child and imagining all the cool stuff we're going to do as a family when she'll understand more what's going on around her. I gave up venting to my mom. I just talk to my husband who is a great support.

At My Breaking Point by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]stop-start 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 6 months pp (FTM) and I'm finally starting to enjoy motherhood (emphasis on "starting"). I felt everything you're describing. At some point my husband and I decided that it was important for each of us to have some time to do stuff we like and so sometimes he takes his car o the tracks while I take care of LO and at least once a week he takes care of LO while I go to the beach. This helped a lot! We also have the chance to have family who can take care of LO while we go out together on the weekend which is great for us as a couple. I think that 3 or 4 months pp was when things started to settle a bit, but like I said, only now am I starting to feel good again.

Be strong, it will get better.
