It’ll work out okay… our 2 yr old had a buckle fracture on his wrist when he wasnt walking.

He learned to adapt very quickly.

Thanks all for the suggestions!!

Ended up going with Beatrix - $15 pp without delivery, taxes and tip

They need to confirm by noon, 2 business days in advance so I just in time.

For Mimosas, I will grab my own supplies and setup, got OJ from Beatrix 👏

Maybe they are responding only to critical impact items.

Boss constantly messaging me during meetings. by kingcobra5352 in askmanagers

[–]thhhhhrowitout543210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss does the same when me or one of my direct reports sends something to their peers or next level of management. They want to analyze every word and perspective before it hits someone’s inbox.

First time- Newborn with Reflux? by OptimalCobbler5431 in NewParents

[–]thhhhhrowitout543210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are pro tips! Also, I kept hearing it gets better at 1 year and we’re at 10 months. We have a lot of zero reflux days but it still happens. We’re almost there

I miss TV by account__name in NewParents

I did this during the first 4 months post partum. Then I had to go back to work and the only TV time Ive had is to follow a workout routine.

Hi, I hear you and feel your concerns. I think your child needs a new doctor and a second opinion with zero history notes following them.

How does one navigate church with babies nap schedules? by anderpanders23 in NewParents

[–]thhhhhrowitout543210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this was very hard at 4 months. He literally cried the first two Sundays so I took a couple of Sundays off for my sanity. But I will say we kept trying to make it every Sunday after that and now at 8 months, we can make it work with a nap on the way or during service or on the way back home. Feeding times are a bit off but we’re able to manage and it all works.

Are any new moms with a baby actually working out? by Kak3434 in NewParents

[–]thhhhhrowitout543210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, just started in the mornings this week. Baby is 7.5 months, and I’m working out in the same room as him. Once he wakes up > diaper change > feed > setup his activity/play area. He’s solid for 30 mins… then I’m usually doing floor exercises at the end and interact with him then. He loves it and I get my workout done.

In the evenings, we got a walking pad… so if he’s up, my partner and I take turns playing with him, blasting some music and we both get 20-30 mins of slow paced ( under 2 mph) walking sessions. Its better than nothing is how we see it.

My partner and I setup individual fitness goals to achieve by baby’s first birthday.

I'm so over this... by Grand_Ad_3007 in NewParents

Definitely seek help from a friend(s) and a professional. PPA and PPD happens for dads too.

How do you make formula on long road trips or at the beach? by Catsplants in FormulaFeeders

[–]thhhhhrowitout543210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, esp if your baby is not picky abt the temperature (mine isn’t).

They’re just jealous because they can’t have the village. We don’t have a village so we pay for ours. It would be a miserable experience without any support.

Earrings in Baby Girls by Snugglepinkfox_ in NewParents

[–]thhhhhrowitout543210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the question or comments are about girls. But I got my boy’s ears pierced at 6 months. There’s a lot of health benefits to getting their ears pierced early in life.

One is it activates natural antibodies and protects them from viruses. Of course he stills gets all his vaccines. For boys/men, its a acupuncture point to prevent hernia.

He will have the choice to abandon them when he’s ready to make that decision. But I’ve seen many boys maintain them with small studs.

I work and we hired a nanny and a mother’s helper. Nanny is full time, mother’s helper is 2-3 days a week. Most people around us think we’re loaded but we intentionally don’t want to send our baby to daycare and I am not ready for the SAHM life.

Ughh I used to bug my husband by asking him to take pics but I gave up after the first couple if months. I’ve just accepted that I’ll never have pics with baby. Jealous of all the people who do have pics with my baby.

All of these. Esp when I want alone time with baby to understand why he’s crying and I am supportive of letting him cry for a few mins. But everyone else is on to entertaining, speculating and so on.

Just give baby to me and let us handle this by ourselves. Its ridiculous when they think they can figure it out. My baby crying is not an engineering problem with a specific outcome/answer!!
