We used a swing with second daughter to help her sleep. She developed a bit of a flat spot and was advised regarding helmets to "fix" the flat spot. Thought that was overboard so decided against it. She's 3.5 now and perfectly normal. Babies are resilient. Do what's necessary to get by during this challenging period and don't pay too much attention to different recommendations, etc. Use common sense, give baby lots of love/affection and everything will be fine.

If you have found the world of neonatal care recommendations confusing/frustrating/alarmist, just wait until you get to the pseudo-psychology of cry-it-out/never-let-them-cry/ferber/sears/etc. for sleep training.

The whole idea/process of sleep training is still a little confusing for me. We put her to bed at 7 or so, give her a final bottle at 10-1030 which she just sleeps through and then she stays asleep until 5-6. If she does wake up she's almost always able to get herself back to sleep unless it's a thunderstorm which she really doesn't like.

Unless there's some regression?

What age? Many children go through several phases of sleep behavior, at varying offsets in time. Ours generally had a spotty time for a few weeks neo-natal, and then slept like a champ until around six months, then the regression occurs and you start over from scratch and figure out what to do.

Been a while though, my memory is spotty, kids are 11 and 14 now.

Just four months, so yeah I guess something could change down the road.

There are regressions, and not every child is amenable to being put in the crib from the off (especially if you co-sleep).

She has slept alone in her crib in her nursery since she was 3 weeks old. So maybe that'll help some.

Our daughter is just over 5 months now and we just got through a week and a half of her waking up every hour all night even though she slept 7-9 hours straight prior. :)

She's getting back into now though. We got 8 hours in the crib last night (albeit with small wake-ups).

Crib is put up and ready to go. Her last baby shower was yesterday so now it's time to organize and put all of that away.

Yeah. If I've learned anything from having two kids now is that you can have a good foundation for a sleep schedule but a kid will sleep however they sleep. Our first slept through the night at 9 weeks old and never gave us issues again tills he was 2 and that only lasted a small mount of time.
Our second is at 9 Months and still gets up anywhere from once at 9 hours and then sleeps another hour to twice every 4 hours and then sleeps another 2 hours. He also cried incessantly for the first 6 months whenever we would put him down.

I'm running into so many sleep regressions so quickly that I'm not even sure if there's a point in even trying to sleep train my kid these days.

He just learned to crawl and pull himself up on things, so he's been getting harder to put back to sleep when he wakes up.

Before, if he woke up in the middle of the night, he would cry for a few seconds and sometimes just go back to sleep on his own because he's already lying down. But these days, he rolls himself into a crawling position or stands up in his crib before crying, so it's much harder to get him to go back to sleep because he doesn't like it when we try to make him lie back down.

Yeah that's a rough time but they figure it out again. Mine would stand up and start bouncing because, hey why not, eh? We had to sit in with him for a while to get him to stay down. Unfortunately that would kill my own desire for more sleep but it was a relatively short-lived thing. Once the novelty of it all wore off he went back to staying down or self soothing again.

That's good to hear. Hopefully it happens soon because it's really thrown a wrench into his sleep routines.

After what felt like half a year...my wife and I just found out we're expecting again after our first pregnancy earlier this year ended in miscarriage.

Just in time too, we're literally flying out tonight for a vacation that involved copious amounts of wine drinking. I mean, I still get to drink, but bonus, now I have a designated driver...

I should be happy. God I was so happy the first time we got pregnant after a year of trying, but hearing the news this morning, I'm just terrified.

I'm afraid of getting my hopes up only to be hurt again ...

Congrats man! I hope everything works out for you this time.


Does anyone have any advice for flying with a now walking 1 year old that really doesn't like to sit still? It was one thing when he was 5 months old, and just fell asleep on the plane. But now that he can get around, he really does not like being confined to small spaces for long periods of time.

I feel so bad for my wife nowadays. Our little guy (nearly 4 weeks old) must be going through another growth spurt. She basically has to nurse him like 24/7 with only small breaks in between. It's just hours and hours and hours of nursing. The last three nights, too, he just hasn't wanted to go to sleep for more than maybe an hour at a time at night. Just wants more food. It just sucks because I'm fucking useless. I do everything else, but I know she wants a break from this. She can't even take break to go poop without having to hear him screaming at the top of his lungs from the other room.

I'm optimistically terrified.
The last pregnancy literally ended with my crying into a bowl of Frosted Flakes after a 15 year drought of not shedding a tear... Not my best moment.

Huh...Re-reading my earlier posts in this thread I'm just realizing how many vacations my wife and I take revolve around alcohol...

Yeah our pregnancy ending was pretty devastating too and it was a really ridiculously early one. I really hope you don't have to go through it again.

You'll also need to learn to live without the alcohol for a bit :p. I had a bit when my wife was pregnant but tried to stay away for solidarity. I really missed trying new beers and stuff with her.

All I can think of is giving him more to do so that he doesn't get too restless. Have some toys or snacks for him, or take him on walks (maybe carry him since it's so cramped) to show him around the plane when possible.

Hey guys, it is about two weeks until our first child hopefully arrives strong and healthy. Thing is my wife don't want to accept any visitors for about two months after giving birth and I will of course support her in this whatever it takes. We know this is somewhat abnormal where we live, but where she is from it wouldn't be too strange. No matter what she does not want to have any such commitments during this time, but possibly we could change our minds if all turns out to feel great later. I just wonder if anyone have had any similar experiences, even if you were concerned with a much shorter time frame of not accepting visitors? How would one best go about communicating this request? Because I felt absolutely terrible for days after telling my parents. They were, as expected, extremely sad and couldn't withhold their emotions and kept on suggesting ways we could maybe meet anyway. My wife of course took notice of my sadness and felt equally bad and believes my family must now hate her. Luckily my parents came through a few days later and with a call gave the support we so much needed. My worry is that the rest of our families are also very different to us in the sense that they really seem to enjoy, and even want, the occasional surprise visit and would therefore be baffled if I said no to them possibly showing up by the door step within these months. It is a bit strange, I almost feel that the best support on these issues come rather from colleagues and many friends, some who even encourage us and say they wish they had done the same. That's part of the reason I feel it might be good to ask you "strangers". I kindly ask though, if you just think we are being weird, try to say it as nice as you can (if you must), as it has already been pretty rough as described above.

^ Kudos to you for supporting your wife and her wishes, however with any marriage being a two way street, she should consider your needs too.

As it's all theoretical until the baby arrives, there isn't much point in trying to plan for how things will be until they are. That said, I'd suggest being prepared to put forward possible forms of compromise such as:

- Going somewhere with the baby where people can meet it if you don't want people in your home.
- You having your parents visit whilst your wife is out and about, asleep, etc.

Two months is a very long time and both of you will have adjusted to parenthood long before that period has passed. I expect your wife will likely have a slight change of heart once she's a proud parent wanting to share your collective joy but if not, do respectfully fight for what's important to you. It would be a shame to deprive your parents of that wonderful initial joy of becoming parents.

Good luck in becoming a daddy!

Edit: One thing I forgot - it's totally acceptable for any new parents to say no surprise/unannounced visits, so if the two months issue goes away, it's a perfectly fair compromise to ask your family to call ahead of popping round.

It's perfectly fine to say no to visitors in the first bit. It's exhausting as is without others adding to it. That being said, you might welcome a grandmother or grandfather swooping in and giving you guys the chance to get some extra sleep once you're in the thick of it too.

If you're worried about surprises I'd just put a note on the door that says "No Visitors" or something to that degree.

Good advice from #970.

That said, it *is* hard for me to imagine a cultural background where this would be considered normal, so I would be inclined to keep it in the back of my mind that antenatal depression is a thing, too. Good luck!

No surprise visits is a very good thing to have. You'll be busy and things will be in all sorts of disarray. Baby or not, personally I hate surprise visits.

No visits for a bit afterward is understandable, too. It's also understandable that your family would want to meet the little one. The child will literally never be that small baby again, so in a way you're depriving them of that. It's totally your right to do that, but keep in mind that's what people are thinking and feeling. A few weeks seems reasonable, but as someone else said two months is a very long time. You're within your rights for asking for however much time you actually need, but I'm not sure I could see you needing two months. You never know, though. My wife was pretty severely injured during birth but even with that we were able to pull things together to some sort of normalcy within a month. Visitors are no big deal now.

What might be a decent compromise is figuring out a day to kind of get it all over with and get it out of their system so it doesn't feel like you're pushing them away forever. It might minimize surprises, too.

No matter what, though, being parents and making these decisions is your right. If you don't want visitors for whatever period of time make that known. This is the first step in a lot of things you'll have to make decisions on and try to communicate to family and friends about that little one.

Thx for your replies everyone! We'll see how it goes. Wife is indeed also worried about being depressed after giving birth so she took that into consideration. In her culture her mom would be living with us constantly for possibly years to which I said absolutely no. So it is not like it hasn't been some give-and-take (even though she wasnt exactly looking forward to such an arrangement either and even thanked me for stopping it).

Congrats! One year ago this week my wife had her first miscarriage. We had a second miscarriage in April.

She is now pregnant for the 3rd time and is 10 weeks along (which is how long the other two were before ending in miscarriage). We've seen the doctor more frequently, and everything is showing healthy and strong. We're in the same boat, and terrified that something wrong will happen, but all signs are pointing positive. Hope things go the same for you and you're wife.

We're currently using a different tactic than last time by pretty much trying to act like nothing is out of the ordinary (besides not drinking).
I mean we found out we were pregnant last time and spent a good amount of time in Target shopping for furniture and strollers and clothes.
I'll probably change my tune if we get to "baby bump" stage, but for now I just don't want to get my hopes up in the meantime and get crushed again.

But hey, all the best! I'm rooting for you guys!

Mia just got invited to her first birthday party for a classmate at her nursery. This other kid's super mom has it all planned out, themed, and requested RSVPs a month+ ahead of time. For my part, I've never thrown my kid a party (in my defense she's only 2) and the message I just left on this other kid's mom's phone sounded like a serial killer. Experienced parents, what can I expect here? Gift pitfalls? Parental faux pas to watch out for? Should I drink before I go to better weather it?

I think show up, socialize for a bit, and then bounce because "Mia's tired."

My 1 year old son just started daycare on Monday. He seemed fine with the change when we picked him up that evening. But for the last two nights, my son has decided that he wants to wake up crying every 2-3 hours again like he did when he was a newborn. My wife and I go check on him periodically to comfort him, but I've slept maybe 4 hours in the last two days, and I'm at the point to where it's affecting my job performance. Hell, I'm usually so dizzy that I'm a hard time walking in a straight line, never mind driving. Talking to a few parents, this is apparently normal behavior. But some have suggested to let him cry it out, while others have said to continue checking on him but making sure to not take him out of his crib if there's nothing wrong with him (such as too hot, too cold, wet himself or the bed, sick, thirsty, teething, needing a diaper change, etc).

What have you guys done in this situation?

Depends, if it's an excuse for an adult get together I don't mind. But I wouldn't be doing a kids party at that age, but we're sort of Luddites. I did have fun building custom puzzle events when my daughters were like 7/8; I did one where I buried Triforce pieces in chests around the yard and gave incomplete/disjoint map sets, and another where we did a Star Wars theme with games like who could melt a Hans Solo figure out of an ice cube carbonite the quickest, a Jedi obstacle course, etc. Those were entertaining.

Our little 5 week old has meningitis. Took him to the ER yesterday with a fever and then got sent to a children's hospital where we get to stay for the next two weeks. It's been nerve wracking and heartbreaking seeing him go through all the pokes and prods and a spinal tap.

We've made it half a year! Little girl is six months and everything is still going swimmingly other than her sleep. She won't go down for more than a couple hours. Last night we got 3 3-hour stretches but we've had some nights with 1-2 hour stretches that are just awful. No idea really which way to go to make things better; crying out definitely doesn't work for her, we're considering trying to phase out the pacifier and night time feedings but it's hard when those things help you get at least a little sleep.

Wishing the best for you guys. At least you caught it when it was just a fever and are getting care!

Hang in there, I know it's tough because my first child had a bad case of jaundice and had to go to nicu at 2 weeks old. Just know they are resilient and won't even remember it when they are older.

Well wife is getting induced tonight. We just got into the room. She was due this past Sunday but the little guy likes hanging out too much I guess. We were sent to the hospital due to high blood pressure but that leveled out but since we're here the my decided to just get the show on the road.

Congrats! Get ready to hunker down for a bit, though. From the beginning of our induction to birth was like 23 hours.

Thanks! I was expecting it since we had to do the induction.

She did not enjoy the Foley catheter at all. They finally just gave her the epidural since she was dilated enough. In addition they just broke her water so we're moving along.

You know you done fucked up as a parent if your second grader son calls a couple of preschool girls "chickenheads," slaps one of their asses multiple times, tries to pull down one of their pants, and shows his dick to them.

WHAT.THE.FUCK. Is it really that hard to teach your kids not to be sexual predators?

Baby Aiden was born last night at 6:46pm. 8lbs 11oz. We tried for 2.5 hours pushing but the baby didn't really make any progress. He was facing the side and with his size as well, it was never going to happened naturally so c-section was performed.

Little bit of a cone head right now but baby is perfectly heathy and likes to be rocked when he's fussy.

We're still in the hospital with our little Arthur. One week down, another to go. The great news is that my wife's mom instincts caught this shit ridiculously early. The doctor said this is the only case of GBS Meningitis she's ever treated where the diagnosis was based purely on genetic marker. He has no complications and no real outward symptoms. Because of that, he shouldn't have any permanent effects. They're going to check his hearing before he leaves, but that's the only big risk as of now. It's a huge relief as Meningitis can cause some crazy scary things.

Still can't believe how lucky we were. My wife was just cuddling him most of the day and realized he was a bit more sleepy than usual and felt warm. She had to go out to get a good thermometer and when she took his temp it was 100.5. Took him to the ER and they only got 99.7, but they went on protocol for the higher number, ours. Again, luck, because that meant he got a spinal tap and checked for meningitis. Not sure he would have had the same thing if they went just off the 99.7. He had a rough first few days in the hospital. When they had to redo his spinal tap they failed twice. His IV came out once so he had to have a few shots. They had to do a ton of heal scrapes, too. When they put the PICC line in (more permanent IV) it took 5 tries. After the first few days though it's been mostly smoother sailing comparatively. It was so hard watching him go through all that but now he mostly chills and gets antibiotics through a line in his head. He's gassier though because of the antibiotics so his night fuss is much longer than before.

Still, we're so thankful overall.

Most of the nurses and doctors are also commenting on how grown and alert he is for a 6 week old. He's already social smiling, too!

Oh, and here's some pics of the little guy:

Baby Aiden was born last night at 6:46pm. 8lbs 11oz. We tried for 2.5 hours pushing but the baby didn't really make any progress. He was facing the side and with his size as well, it was never going to happened naturally so c-section was performed.

Little bit of a cone head right now but baby is perfectly heathy and likes to be rocked when he's fussy.

Congrats!

And yay baby Arthur. I'm glad he's doing well.

Has anyone tried Virasoothe or Poxclin for treating chicken pox? I've got a very sad little one and a half year old daughter here and calamine isn't cutting it.

calamine would be best for it, poxclin at least is really just aloe vera, so you can save some bux and just get aloe for some cooling action

how did she catch it?
