Agreed. It's insane what new parents don't know about their child's sleep needs, and most importantly how sleep develops, neurologically. I also read a ton, and put in so much work in the early months so that our baby would develop good sleep, and it has paid off in spades.

My advise to new parents. Go out and have some fun without the kid. It's hard finding the time (and the baby sitter) but make the effort.

We just got back from Crssd Festival in San Diego California. Got to see our favorite DJ, SASHAAAA!!! We brought our daughter down to SD but had a friend baby sit for us during the late afternoon/early evenings festivities. Was still able to spend some quality time with her during the early part of the day at a local kids museum. A very successful weekend. There's hope yo!

We are so fortunate to have loving and willing family (his) to be secondary caregivers. My mother in law is always trying to get us to go skiing, or to a movie, dinner, etc. because she just wants time with the baby. It's awesome!

The baby peeing all over himself and me and the walls and his nightie at 5:30 in the morning was actually a lot funnier than I thought it would be.

Even more fun: My niece ended up repainting the new painted wall after a spray poop surprise .

So yeah. Back to work in November, pretty excited about it! Found an amazing home daycare for the few months until our girl starts montessori at 18 months. We were at our friends' kid's first birthday today and I loved watching the babies interact with each other and the older kids. I can't wait to see how she opens up being around other kids and gaining new social experiences.

Has she been home only so far? We started a morning day care twice a week so she gets a little socialized and sick...and so far she has pulled another girls hair and gotten sick a lot. So success??

I'm really not sure if my wife will go for something like that. He definitely needs to build up immunities by interacting with other people's gross children but that's always a difficult part of the whole process.

Yesterday was pretty tough. We had a 12 hour car ride to the beach and he got to eat sand and play in the ocean and all those great things but he woke up a couple hours after he went to bed absolutely inconsolable. We tried everything, after some Little Baby Bum videos, some Tylenol, and a couple bottles, and bouncing him and shushing him for 3 hours, he finally went to sleep. We are exhausted.

Yeah mostly. She's had swim class and been to a handful of groups, plus being around our friends' kids. So yeah def another plus to sending her to daycare. She is at the age where she is starting to really appreciate other kids - she def loves people and gets so excited around other children.


I would have preferred to keep her home until she starts Montessori but I couldn't get that much extra time off work, so eh.

Was going in for belly raspberries this morning and my son pokes me straight in the eye. Slashed my cornea. Dammit boy!

Ooooh shit. Baby raptor claws are no joke!

So I go to the eye doctor (40 minutes away because we are on an island) and she squirts in some medicine and straps some fucking eye patch to my face. It lasts maybe an hour before my sweaty face causes it to peel off in the 90 degree weather. Then we have to go BACK to the eye doctor and she performs the correct procedure by putting in a contact lens and prescribing some special eye drops. Of course the nearest pharmacy doesn't have the medicine and we wait 30 minutes for them to tell us this. Have to drive another 15 minutes to another and wait another 20 for them to fill it.

Great anniversary, huh honey?

Lol shit dude. I genuinely feel your pain. I have scratched my cornea 3 or 4 times. Goddamn nightmare feeling.

Wtf is wrong with you, dude? Put on the eyepatch and go on the anniversary date like a real pirate, stop being a pussy.

Speaking from your long history of dating experience, Kenny?

For your information, the hour and a half during which my eyepatch slipped off I was treating my wife to a seaside lunch complete with calimari, she-crab soup, and clam linguine.

It was just annoying as fuck having to press that damn patch back on my eye only for it to fall off again. I wasn't going to have a perpetual winking face all day so I went back for the contact lens.

Nope, just speaking from my long history of being a pirate. I'm sure lunch was very enjoyable with your squirming, sissy man.

I don't think it's you that needs to go the emergency room right now

Just duct tape it on your head. Wrap around the whole head.

Can all you non-parents fuck off from the parent thread? The last thing that stressed out people with babies need are you 2 assholes arguing and offering your worthless 2 cents.

Also way to use that ignore button, Kenny. You respond to RANN every single time he posts, might as well unblock him at this point. Fuck off back to the Capitalism thread, both of you.

No
