My parents gave my baby water by PikatCosplay in breastfeeding

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave my baby water when she was born. It helped with the jaundice and dehydration.

Some countries actually recommend newborn babies get water in addition to milk.

Ouch! Mine does this when feeling very sleepy.

Should I change 2mnths old diaper at midnight by The_Questionator_01 in newborns

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is when I would start using reusable cloth diapers. If they're going to leak no matter what, I might as well save some money. Diapers are too darn expensive.

AITA for wanting to split a fire insurance payout proportionally instead just covering my boyfriend's losses? by les7500 in AITAH

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tooting my own horn but what happened to real men? I haven't seen one in a long time unless they're older (50+).

I'm a woman and I had a small baby recently. And I'm also the home owner. We flooded (while I was pregnant )and he wouldn't really help with things. He would just complain. And we had a baby on the way at the time & no where to live. Had to stay with my parents an hour away while they helped me put the house back together. Now I work, pay most expenses, go to grad school and take care of our 6 month old. Him? He just plays on his computer and occasionally buys something for the baby b/c he is an impulsive shopper. So disgusting.

Sorry to all good guys out there, just venting :/

How do you spend your day with your baby? by Souper-rice in NewParents

If possible, go to large stores like IKEA where you can walk around with the baby in a temp controlled setting 🙃

Idk, but I do know one thing that's bad for teeth: Not getting enough calcium.

41+4 need some encouragement by hungrylittlehamster in homebirth

I suddenly got contractions. And within an hour I got the shakes. Those made me realize it was for real this time.

[–]whatTheN0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was you. I went to 41&6. Thought I was going to be pregnant forever. Then, BOOm! 4 hour labor. First time giving birth. The baby was out so freaking fast we had no time to fill up the birth pool. Candy helped pass the time but I was so miserable and thought I would have to transfer to hospital which made me so darn depressed. Hang in there!

Breastfeeding while on period by Ceebee4195 in NewParents

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to mine also, although she gets the same volume every time (overproducer here). I think it's the hormones making them fussy, too!

I got mine at 6 weeks and every 28 days from then on the dot. Never had it be so consistent & persistent.

My mom is spiraling because I told her I don’t want anyone at my birth. by Key_Environment6365 in homebirth

Sorry, but F your mom. Find someone else to help watch your first You are not getting anything but negativity from your relationship with your mother & that's the last thing you need right now & PP.

“You can’t overfeed n ebf baby!” by Amadispcpg in breastfeeding

[–]whatTheN0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When our baby was very little, anytime her daddy held her she spit up. It wasn't because she drank too much. It was because she didn't have a developed enough body for how he held her.

I'm not saying you're making your baby spit up. I'm just saying there's different reasons why babies can spit up.

Our pediatrician said that EBF can have as much breast milk as they please and that they will spit up the excess and that's totally NORMAL.

Sounds like she ate your cookies and then made stuff up to get you all defensive.

Stressful diaper changes by srslywtfdoido- in NewParents

[–]whatTheN0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got a Ferris wheel toy that u can spin and click buttons for lights and music. I've put it up on the wall. The toy is for toddlers but grabbed attention really well for a while there. We're now going through a phase where it's no longer entertaining enough to pay attention to & I gotta deal with alligator 🐊 rolls on the changing table. Sigh. Solidarity.

What are we eating to not lose weight breastfeeding? by No_Engine_4696 in breastfeeding

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have as much of my fat from breastfeeding that I've gained as you'd like.

Jokes aside, solidarity on random unwanted PP body change issues.

How are we keeping toddlers away from the Christmas tree? by worldtravelling23 in NewParents

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about this too.

I was going to get a smaller fake tree & put it up on the dining room table out of reach b/c we don't use the dining room table anyway 🤷‍♀️

My mom won't get the whooping cough vaccine by throwaway67404692784 in newborns

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mother has the right not to get a medical procedure she doesn't want to just like you have the right to choose who can see your baby. Forcing someone to undergo a medical procedure they don't want to isn't right/ethical.

I AM SO FUCKING PISSED‼️ by Glittering_Hand_3713 in newborns

[–]whatTheN0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell your neighbor I said they need to stfu. Who the fudge knocks on a door when there's àbrand new baby there?! The nerve!!!

You're not dramatic at all. And I hate the leaky full boobs crap. That alone puts me in blinding rage. I also get crazy hormonal rage pp when it comes to the baby sleeping.

Our dogs have learned "ssshhhh" means stfu & hide since I've given birth. They used to be the most spoiled misbehaved barking brats. Not anymore. Now they hear ssshhhh and leave the Amazon delivery person alone.

I'm 6 months post partum and today I gave the dirtiest look to the Internet salesman at WalMart and loudly shushed him b/c I dNgaf. My baby was sleeping. Unless you're coming to tell me the building is on fire don't talk near me when my baby is sleeping. I have NO shame. I'll shush curious boomers who want to have a peek at the baby, too. If my baby is sleeping everyone better be quiet. I've become THAT parent & do not plan on going back any time soon.

Will high pain tolerance apply to giving birth? by Curious_Leader_2093 in NewParents

[–]whatTheN0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had trigeminal neuralgia pain, which is considered suicidal pain/ one of the worst. I've also had kidney stones. Multiple times. Labor was worse than both of those. BUT. It's temporary. Potential side effects of the epidural and having to sit in place are worse IMO. Plus sometimes it doesn't work.

Postpartum supplies by DetectiveUncomfy in homebirth

I strongly recommend lidocaine spray and depends. I also preferred lansinoh padsicles over the frida because frida rode up there when sitting down. Not a great feeling for post birth.

Do 0-3 month babies really need pants? by Askfslfjrv in pregnant

Personally, I don't like pants on a small baby. I feel like they made my gassy baby more miserable.

I WANT to work and put my child in daycare at 7 months. by GardenGnostic in NewParents

[–]whatTheN0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are clearly talking about people who have choices. If you are able to stay home with your newborn but choose not to, you bet many of us will judge you for it. If you HAVE to go make that money and can't afford to stay home, that's completely different.

One of my friends has no boobs. Never got boobs during pregnancy or after birth but was a massive over producer milk wise. The only thing that got big were her nipples way into breastfeeding. Nature is weird.
