@@ltmltm4945 I don’t disagree with you on that! While it’s important to get a GD diagnosis it’s also equally important our health care system does better and offers Healthier options for mom & baby!
I came on RU-vid to find out which pumping Bra I should buy. Your last method might just save me 50+ bucks! I’m in the process of trying to increase my milk supply 6 months postpartum and it might not work. This video was perfect. Thank you!
@@LifePostpartum thanks for watching I’m so glad this was helpful to you & good luck it can be possible - if you are located in the US & have health insurance a certified lactation consultant may be able to help you with this too at little to no cost for you !!🤞🤍
My son AND daughter had no screen time growing up....he is absolutely no different from his brother that got screen time.if you interact with your kiddo on the regular TV is NOT going to damage them anymore.than a child who has no interaction!
Im a first time parent, and i never knew screen time was a bad thing intell my son turn 1yr old. Now carry this guilt and shame feeling like im the worst mom and i wish i had someone to tell me about this. Now im trying to not let have screen time as much and make it less time. But im currently pregnant and my bf is working so its hard to having to do stuff while im not there for my son while i clean/ cook/ or take a rest for myself for abit. I read, i draw with him, and i play also go outside with him. I really try my best, and wanna help my son development. I need advice on how i can help my son development.. he knows how do certain things that my doctors is surprised abt. But i make mistakes on my anger and stress, i yell not to do this and that. But im working on talking towards him while he can't because of this and that and why he shouldn't.. and i make mistakes on letting him watch videos while i rest or cook, what should i do instead of letting watch videos? And what should i do if i didnt let him watch his videos but he starts crying or yelling?...
I’m so sorry you feel this way! I hope you can give yourself some grace and kindness - none of us know what we don’t know! We are all learning & figuring this whole parenting thing out as we go! Now that you know it might not be positive for your son to have so much screen time - you can take action- that’s the best we all can hope to do as parents; especially when we learn something new ❤️ it will be hard at first for your son if he is used to screen time (being upset, yelling, expressing himself with big emotions is all normal response to his routine changing- allowing him a safe space to be able to express himself but staying firm in boundaries like “we can be upset but we don’t hit etc” or “I understand how frustrating and different it is not being able to watch __ right now, it’s ok to cry, I’m here, I love you let’s play with ___ instead” or “do you want to play ___ or ___?” ) Start by cutting back a little by little if doing an “all at once change” and cutting screen time all together seems to be too much for either of you! Just think the less screen time he gets in the daythe better. There will always be situations where maybe you or he are sick and it may feel needed. Some days as parents we are in survival mode and it can be a useful tool. We just have to try and stay mindful. It’s really about minimizing the amount of screen time. Coloring with him, talking to him, reading to him, playing with toys with him are all wonderful things to do but they require your time and attention and we all have different capacities for this for many reasons! I get it! Just try to do the best you can do each day- remind yourself/know that each day is a new day and a new opportunity to make a positive change or to try to do a little bit better than the day before. None of us have it all figured out and none of us are perfect. You are doing an amazing job!!!🫶
Also when I’m cooking I love to have my children participate or even play with the water in the kitchen sink to buy myself some time! We have a toddler stool that we love for this exact reason!
This is encouraging. My baby had been head down from about 31/32 weeks, I even had a midwife appointment at 35+5 where the midwife confirmed she was head down. However two days later at my 36 week scan, they discovered she was breech. Couldn’t believe it. Am hoping to have a successful ECV next week if I can’t flip her myself at home! Thank you for sharing 😊
My baby girl as you heard from video did the same at 39 weeks- & I would go through it all over again and again to have her! Best of luck for your ECV procedure next week 🙏🏻🤞- sending you all the positive vibes!!! 💕 thank you for watching!
I’ve noticed that you often mention the mother or other individuals in your discussions, but rarely the father. This observation makes me curious as to why the father’s role seems to be overlooked. Numerous studies highlight the significant negative impact on babies who lack a father figure. Fathers play a crucial role in a child’s development, and it’s important to recognize their contributions.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for being a valued viewer of Passable Parent. I completely agree that the role of fathers is essential and often overlooked in discussions about child development. Fathers have a significant impact, and it’s crucial to recognize their contributions. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I’ll be sure to create some father-specific videos with tips and insights in the near future. Thanks again for your support!
Thank you for all your suggestion. I love the love every but I can't really afford that $80 every time and then $120 when they become a toddler. It's just too much money for me but I will say I have a 28-year-old and a 20-year-old. My 20-year-old had problems walking and holding a rattler with both hands but when he got 2 years old he was able to button his own shirt. So whatever they cannot do right now or at 6 months at 2 year and he learn how to button his shirt and put on his pants and go to the bathroom on his own. He learned that very fast but walking. I had to help him with that and I had to just let him fall in the grass when he fell. I didn't say anything and by the third day he can walk on his own
Lovevery does have some of their products in target stores now if that is helpful to you! I can totally understand the downside to the reoccurring expense of them and just how expensive everything has become in general! There are lots of similar items to the ones they have in toy kits that you may be able to find elsewhere for less money if you wanted to! I might even make videos showing some ideas I have for this 😊 hope this was helpful and it’s amazing to hear how well all your children are doing - each child is different and each of their developments are also unique 🤍
Hello- yes the AAP says any screen time including videos like you just mentioned count as screen time with the exception of FaceTime with family/friends! Simple black and white flash cards are recommended for newborns over videos! Like these: amzn.to/3NfvNc8 amzn.to/3wB8kvo Hope this helps 😊
Hi! Did you find your aversion went after pregnancy? Did you experience it with your newborn? I'm 8 months and feeling a lot of aversion and praying it goes after I give birth , otherwise i dont think i could handle breastfeeding.
Yes - for me it went away immediately post partum! I went through the period of “figuring breastfeeding out” with my new baby & getting into our own rhythm with it but the aversion was totally gone! I’m sorry you are having aversions I know how uncomfortable it is! Hang in there ❤️🫶 & best of luck with your new baby!
OMG Ive been watching your vids and theyre sooo helpful and easy to understand. Im also huge fan of desitin Maximum strength. And i apply it preventively too, many friends say its a bit overkill but its what my own mom told me to do! Funny question though, is desitin like, older? I mean, im from the late 90s, and as I said its what my mom got me, but i dont know if it came out in the 90s or if its been used on older generations. Just curious, haha. Great content, anyway! U got a new subscriber <3
Thank you so much for watching! 🤍According to google it’s been around since way before the 90’s (1920’s I found 🤯) so totally makes sense- fellow 90’s baby! 🙋♀️😂
@@PassableParent Wait so child of the 90s too? Lol. Yup, mom tells me that back then there was only the purple desitin and i even remember seing a rogue tube under the bathroom cabbinet well into my childhood cause we used it for burns cuts heat rash etc. Its good for everything skin related! Heck even with my oldest LO thats already P-trained We struggle a bit sometimes with propper wiping and if we start seeing a bit red, its desitin to the rescue hahaha.
I have experienced this with all of my children. It really sucks. Good to find some information about it. It definitely feels like a hormone thing. But i cant help but think there might be more to it such as untreated/unmanaged anxiety and/or depression.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🤍 I’m sorry it’s something you’ve also gone through!! Many times there can be an underlying cause like you mentioned.
Congratulations! That’s so exciting!! It’s definetly one of the most exciting appointments in pregnancy 😊best wishes & Good luck on your scan - thank you for taking the time to watch 🤍
Thank you for your video! Tip: please adjust the volume of the sound, while adjusting the sound for your voice the music is very load. Equal volume would be great
Thank you for taking the time to watch & I agree something went weird here with the audio! 😅 I appreciate your feedback & taking the time to leave a comment!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! It’s never too late to start cutting back on the screen time! I’m sure your baby is brilliant they are little sponges taking in everything and so eager to learn from us! Try starting little by little making small changes in cutting back the screen time & instead playing with him, talking to him, singing him songs and you should start to see him attempting to communicate more with you ❤️
There is no scientific evidence that music is harmful to babies other than if it is played too loudly or inappropriate for a young child! Music is great for babies especially children’s songs like “the itsy bitsy spider”, “wheels on the bus”, “head shoulder knees and toes” all of these types of songs you can sing with baby and do hand and body gestures to teach them new things! Thank you for watching 🤍
We have gone in June & in the winter before! The weather was nice both times! Hotter in June but they gave us lots of water and breaks in the AC! Enjoy your trip!
@@RahulKumar-kn6it hi “baby” and “baba” both count as words! Keep working with your baby every day, talking to them, reading to them, playing with them and they should be leaning new words as time goes on! If you ever get concerned you can always ask your pediatrican or trusted health care provider and they should be able to help you or alleviate any concerns you have! Lots of language explosion happens at your baby’s age and you should continue to see their vocabulary expand over the coming months 🤍 hope this was helpful!
@PassableParent my daughter learned to shake hand bt at the time of clapping she took our hands nd clap nd few days she learned where is fan bt today she is not responding i m so frustrated i m trying talk to ger as much as possible nd one thing more she only babbles alot bt not saying any wod like mamma papa what to do pls suggest
@@garimasingh-is2mb I’m unsure of the age of your daughter! Most one year olds (12 months of age can say 1-3 words) these words can be approximation like “baba” for “bottle”. Something really important here is to think about your child’s “communicative intent” this is much more important that the number of words spoken. This is your child attempting to communicate with you, through even gestures and whether or not they seem interested in what what you are saying to them when you get down on their level & give them a reason to communicate! If you are doing this and your child seems uninterested, or doesn’t seem to respond to you in any way- I highly encourage you to reach out to your child’s doctor. I know how frustrating this can feel as a parent but you are doing an amazing job and some children just need extra support- it’s not that your baby isn’t interested in you or trying to communicate it might just be that she needs some extra support in her development! ❤️ there are many specialists who can help and the earlier we reach out and get that support the more successful outcomes for children and parents ❤️ it’s amazing she is clapping, trying to hand shake and pointing to where the fan is! She could just be bored of doing those gestures if they are not fun and exciting or she is being asked to do them too much on command! This could be one reason why but If it seems like she is regressing or taking steps backwards in learned skills - I would reach out to her doctor for guidance!
@PassableParent she is 15 months old nd she use to point out to fan bt from tomorrow she is not responding to that nd she babbles alot bt not clear words can we go to development pediatricians as i afraid of autism or any other disorder very much
Thanks for the info :) Question, I don't necessarily sing to my baby all the time but I do hum tunes a lot as I'm washing dishes, petting my pregnant belly, showering, etc. Does that work too or should I make a conscious effort to sing lyrics to her?
I know two kids that have had a tablet or phone in their laps since about 6 months old, now at age 3 and 5 one has a tablet and the other has a laptop. Something that really stands out about them is that when someone greets them or talks to them they just stare back with no response. If you ask them a question they will reply but it seems like they don't know how to interact in a social atmosphere.
It‘ll be my second time I‘ll do my glucose test last week it was higher maybe that night I ate cookies and morning I had Glucose test that’s why it shows high will it so?
