SinningStromgald@lemmy.worldto Parenting@lemmy.world•New parent. Just had some questions7·13 days agoThe bottom line is: Am I doing it wrong or is this it for a while until he can stay awake while changed and fed? Is it normal? I feel like I’m just drugging a child to sleep. Looking for any input. Thanks.
I said it somewhere else but kids, newborns especially, do very few things: eat, shit, piss, burp and sleep. So yes you are doing things right. In fact, enjoy how easy it is now because it won’t be for long. And there is no harm talking to a newborn. If it is just you and the wife in the house and you take care of the baby in shifts then unloading a stream of conciseness can be therapeutic.
when I’m doing the war crime of changing or swaddling
I’ve helped care a number of babies and still can’t swaddle one for shit so I’m jealous. Probably why my burritos always end being eating with a fork/spoon.
Kid falls asleep 1min after he latches without fail and my wife is super anxious about not breast feeding but she pumps out a surplus of milk. He wasnt getting enough sustenance after birth but he’s ravenous on the bottle. 2-4 oz every feed maybe 2.50z average.
Your child is a classic “lazy eater”. They can and will latch but doing the work afterwards ain’t happening. He wants the easy feeding of a bottle and unless you wanna starve him then give it to him. He is still getting all the benefits of breast milk and your wife is still doing the work of pumping so no shame there. Make sure you keep the negative Nancy types who talk down on women who can’t/don’t breastfeed away from your wife.

Ultima, Wizardry and Might & Magic created and defined what an RPG on PC is. I am not familiar enough with Wizardry and Might & Magic to pick a character from them but I feel at least one character from those series should be on the list.

- If the FAA is so short staffed on air traffic controllers how are they going to get controller feedback on the new system?
- How will they have time to train them on the new system?

“I try to convince the ancient vampire to make me a vampire and totally wasn’t trying to steal his shiny amulet.” roll
DM: bangs head on table He agrees by lunging at you faster than the eye can follow and feel sharp teeth pierce your neck.
Rest of the party shows up and initiated combat. Convinced them for a short while I was fine. The cleric turning up dead, inexplicably, convinced them I wasn’t.
It was good fun while it lasted. Never did find out if the ancient vampire was going to turn me or kill me if the party hadn’t arrived.
Never mind. I died too.

If it ever gets ported to PC you should wait a year or two for all the inevitable bugs to get worked out and possibly an upscale mod as well.
If you can’t wait that long then I’ve a hell of a real estate deal for you where that money would be better spent.
