@allfree15 Definitely don’t blame yourself! Just think of how biologically normal it is - it’s a great hack to get babies to sleep!

@allfree15 Honestly I am going through the exact same thing as you. I could have written your exact post. But to me, feeding to sleep isn’t the issue, especially since our babies were successfully sleeping through the night by being fed to sleep up until the sleep regression. I think this is...

@ofelixculpa I’d be careful in correcting and having you interject and her repeat while in the middle of talking. That interruption and breaking her flow could become frustrating and decrease her confidence. I agree with others that the best thing could be that you mirror the right language when...

@rengb121 I do think it might make him want to come sleep in your bed on other nights and the boundaries there could quickly erode. It depends if that’s a problem for you - what if he starts to want to sleep with you every night, or in the middle of the night he wakes up and wants that? Is that...

@plope132 That’s such a tough situation! No clue how to help here, but I so hope it works out well for you and you have a smooth rest of your pregnancy :)

@kristyen Since your husband speaks English decently, could you have some dedicated times when you’re around your daughter that you two speak English? Even if it’s not perfect, it’ll be great for her to hear that input. It could be that you speak in English while cooking dinner, or at the dinner...

@callousedhands That is correct that you should lower the carbs in your diet with gestational diabetes - but it should not be too low carb. That was my concern with the diet OP is on (again, unless her medical team has okayed that). I’m not a medical professional, but am repeating what my OB and...

@hman I agree that Uber eats and/or doordash gift cards can be helpful, however, I would make sure with people close to her that these are things she actually uses. Not everyone uses these services, and then she’d have to go through the process of figuring out downloading the app, having to put...

@biblefollower I honestly have no idea if it’s outdated or not - I was just passing along the advice given by my OB and OB office dietician. So I have no real dog in the fight, but just wanted OP to check with their doctor to make sure that carb amount is safe for her and baby! I say there’s no...

@plope132 One question for you - does your OB’s office know that you only have 50-100 g of carbs a day? I only ask because I have gestational diabetes, and I was told that it’s important to make sure I get enough carbs per day as it’s important for baby’s development. They made sure to...

@einspectorfidget In my opinion, the baby definitely will learn Mandarin even with an English speaking nanny. This is especially true because you both speak it exclusively around the baby. The baby will still be spending tons of time with you and your husband and that will sooo much of the...

@immanuelsdottir I had no idea there was like a hobbyist obsession over some baby carriers until reading this!

@resol This is a tricky one! Can I ask when you plan on moving back to Norway? If you plan on moving back when he’s a toddler, for example, I say focus on Urdu at home because he will easily pick up Norwegian as the community language once you go back. But if you might not go back to Norway...
