I see a lot of posts about when/if to have family stay with you when baby comes. I just wanted to share my experience and why it was so good. For background, my dad is a 72yo retired widower. He was my mom’s caregiver for several years before she passed away two years ago. He loves a few states over from us. This is what made have no him so good:We have a small house but enough room for him to have his own room and bathroom. He is good at entertaining himself. He cooked my breakfast to order every single morning as well as most of my lunches and dinners. He is a great cook. He did all of the dishes, most of the laundry, and cleaning/typing of the common areas of our house. He keeps his parenting opinions to himself. All of the women in my family breastfeed pretty openly so nursing in front of him wasn’t a big deal. He ran errands for us.My baby would only sleep while held and my dad took the 4-8am shift most mornings. This is when my baby had his longest stretch of sleep and my dad is a very early riser. He can do basic baby care like getting them dressed and changing their diaper.He’s been around for all 6 of his grandkids births so he has realistic expectations of what the newborn/postpartum period is like and what the needs of the family are. These are some things that made the experience really positive for us. I’m pregnant again and I’m REQUIRING him to stay with us again. We would have fallen apart without him. Having a helpful able bodied adult in the house that isn’t you or your partner makes such a difference. I know very few people are this lucky. I just wanted to share some of the reasons why it was so positive for me, hoping others will be able to use it as a reference when considering their own situation. via /r/BabyBumps https://ift.tt/vN0DYkL

8mo finally rolled and I am ready to scream it from the roof tops I am so proud! She has been a little chiller, not motivated to move at all. Always happy to lay and look at the ceiling or tummy time forever but no interest in moving and I have been a little stressed about it to say the least. Paediatrician and Physical Therapist weren’t overly concerned because she is a strong little bub and is hitting all cognitive and speech milestones. Anyway, if you’ve got a little late bloomer like me hang in there. They’ll get there and it will be such a fun day when they do! MY LITTLE BUB IS A ROLLER, WOOHOO!!!Update: Dad picked LO up flowers on his way home from work to celebrate the big day lol via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/BWzuReX

My partner just gave birth to our son at 28 weeks and 4 days. We are happy to report he is doing great, weighs 3 lb 1oz, 16″ long and can breath on his own. I am posting to say anything can happen. As first time parents we had no idea that he’d be born so prematurely. Her pregnancy was going great all the way up until the last few days when she got serious pelvic pain. No family history and preexisting conditons for premature birth. It just never crossed our minds even as we raced to the hospital yesterday at 330am. When we arrived to the hospital she was already 6cm dilated. Everything came so fast and she delivered him at 1134am. What a day! via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/8aIKSUv

We got an Uppababy Vista v2 stroller with the bassinet attachment included. When the baby comes, can we just park the bassinet stroller (with the wheel lock on) next to our bed while we’re sleeping until we transition him to his crib? I just don’t think getting a second bassinet specifically for our bedroom makes sense, especially since they grow out of them after ~4 months? They’re not super expensive and I’ll get one if there’s a good reason not to use the one we have already.Here’s the setup we have: https://ift.tt/RmlL75w via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/Jdbg5Uw

Just wanted to share my experience as a new mama with my 12 month old. Here’s some random things I never knew or learned since having a kid:Feel free to share your experiences as well!Post-partum hair loss: I never knew that PP hair loss was a thing. My hair was coming out in clumps in the shower or when I brushed my hair. Thankfully my hair is really thick so it’s not noticeable. Active sleeping: Babies are such loud sleepers for the first 3 months. When I thought my baby was waking up, turns out he’s just moaning and groaning in lalaland.Formula: First 6 months my partner and I were buying Enfamil and Costco formula but it was adding up fast. Turns out Walmart sells the exact same Costco formula at a fraction of the price. Baby loved it and never had spit up or digestion issues. Entitled people: I never knew how many people were entitled to think it’s okay to touch, hug or try to kiss my baby in public, especially elderly people. So many countless of times they would try to touch my baby without asking for permission. It’s okay to say no!My baby wants to be an IT technician: Who knew babies loves wires so much??? and why??? Every single time I try to charge my phone my baby tries to run for the wires every time. Better to make a busy board full of wires rather than get new toys 😂Babies can use straws: They can drink out of a cup and straw at 12 months and I never learned it until today. I thought they wouldn’t learn how until 2 years old or something. I was shocked when my 12 month old was drinking water out of an open cup and straw.Babies are picky eaters: Until they wanna eat the exact same food you’re eating. My baby doesn’t want to eat on his own until he sees and wants what I’m eating. Half the plate is gone but I’d rather have him full, fed, and happy.Sleep regressions: I didn’t even know sleep regressions were a thing until we hit the 3, 6, and 12 month regressions. Baby teething at the same time was like a slap on the face 😂Diapers: Around 8-10 months I let my baby crawl around the house just in diapers during the summer but I had to start putting shorts on him because he started to learn how to rip off his diapers and pee on the floor or throw poop around in his crib. 10.Babies grow up so fast: I didn’t realize how fast my baby grew and lost his baby weight around 10 months. So sad he’s losing his baby face around 12 months but I’m taking as much photos and videos as I can. Sometimes I just drop all the chores just to cuddle and cherish the time I have with him while he’s still small. Going to add more things in the comments as I learn new things along the way! via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/CELX76I

It’s frustrating and ridiculous. The Cinesphere has both IMAX 70mm and IMAX with Laser projection systems. The theatre was very regularly showing IMAX movies like Interstellar, Dark Knight, LotR, 2001 Space Odyssey, etc. It’s been closed since October 2022 with no re-opening in site, with construction hindered by ridiculous politics. We need to demand that the Cinesphere re-opens immediately. via /r/toronto https://ift.tt/6xdLZT8

We have no idea why our baby was born at 29 weeks. It seeks like a lot of people had some warning or a known medical reason. My wife had covid and flu A, plus some significant family stress. But otherwise, there was no indication at her MFM or anywhere else. Baby has no genetic issues and is in perfect health but for being born so early.Is this common? Will we ever know? via /r/NICUParents https://ift.tt/lFZmjdG
