Chief user experience complainer. Head of FOMO.

This is horrible and I'm sorry it happened! Different teams that are building the clients are trying different solutions. Amethyst did the blocking solution, nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 has been talking about moderation solutions since the beginning and has some initial solution in NOS (afaik), etc.

Ultimately as a user you need to pick the client (app) and relays that provide the experience you need. That's how the network is structured for better or worse.

Having a baby changes your perspective on what is normal

- yellow puss running from eyes - normal

- crossed eyes - normal

- stop breathing for 15 sec - normal

- scream in the middle of the sleep - normal

- yellow skin - normal

- bright red spot on the skin - normal

- black poop (literally) - normal

- green poop - normal

- explosive diarrhea (medical term) - ~normal

Looks European, close to mountains in Germany, Czechia, Austria or Slovakia

Getting a therapist is a great idea too! Like when you go to gym, you can probably do stuff on your own, but if you get a personal trainer you will see better results much faster. It's the same thing with good therapists...

If you are emotionally out of shape, get that going, no one needs to know.

So coincidentally around the time my son was born it became ok to start posting on social media about babies and baby stuff.

Before that it was super annoying & frowned upon while now it's considered ok and desirable.

I'm not making the rules...

Explosive diarrhea is an actual medical term.

Learned the hard way.

I'm wishing you all the best!!! 🙏🙏🙏

The memories are very fresh. I'd be really happy to give you any tips if you would be interested!!

Btw... I got "já písnička 1-4" PDFs and I'm singing to him anything I can remember 😄

Things that work for us and I would recommend:

Look into how to cosleep safely.

Breastfeed if you can and nurse to sleep. Have a plan for what you’ll do if you cannot breastfeed.

Have a bassinet beside the bed for when you CAN transfer the baby there if you want to. We put ours there whenever we think she can get to sleep there, and she often does, more and more often.

Sometimes a baby rouses from sleep just enough to cry a little bit, then goes back to sleep. Most of the time, if they’re crying, they need something.

Have a pump and, if you can, store at least enough milk at all times for a few meals. I had a medical emergency shortly after giving birth and it was very good that I had a stored milk supply so my in-laws were able to feed my child breastmilk while I received medical attention.

Take it easy on yourselves. BUT:

Get out and about, back to your routine as soon as you can without pushing yourselves, and bring the baby everywhere with you. Let them learn from watching you and learn to fall asleep anywhere, even in the middle of noisy gatherings.

Learn what is in vaccines, the history vs. current practice of vaccines, decide what you’d like to do, and find a pediatrician who will support your decision. A list of vaccine-flexible pediatricians is accessible through this site https://drgreenmom.com/find-a-vaccine-friendly-doctor/ and if you choose to vaccinate at all, a website with ingredients is https://vaccines.procon.org/vaccine-ingredients-and-manufacturer-information/

Mothers lose many minerals during pregnancy. Replenishing them postpartum is a good idea.

I overheard once (and did no follow up research, so grain of salt) that selenium deficiency may contribute to postpartum depression, so starting in the third trimester, I’ve been eating Brazil nuts even though I HATE them 😂 you have to be careful not to eat too many, though.

Babies don’t smile for about the first month of life! I didn’t know this and felt better knowing I wasn’t a horrible mom, the only one whose baby was always either sad or asleep 😂

Sometimes babies will rouse from sleep enough to cry just a little, then go back to sleep. Other times they will keep crying because they need something. You’ll learn how to tell.

1 is NOT the smallest size diaper 😂 get newborn diapers!!

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Your lifestyle needs to remain practical or you will burn out.

Don’t let people scare, guilt, or annoy you. People will come out of the woodwork with advice and truisms that may go counter to your whole worldview or be just plain silly. Listen to as much as you wish, but trust yourself to make good decisions and remember it’s not their baby and it doesn’t really matter what they think. Me included 😉

Amazing recommendations! Thank you! 🙏

The little one started smiling more now - and he literally always smiles before he tricks us in some way. Wide smile and then massive "shart" even though he was ready for sleep. And so I have to change him and out of nowhere he smiles and seconds later pees on himself so we are changing clothes now...

Great, I'll put that on the list of things to do if he can't sleep. So far he's been doing great - gets food (demands more than what tables say...), falls asleep right after and can get safely swaddled. Fingers crossed that this stays...

And my point is that reduction of deaths could be attributed to other medical advances making measles less deadly. It would be good to get measles cases long term graph to prove or disprove this hypothesis.
