question
Please no harsh remarks. Quickly explain my first son was born two months early due to lack of help we were homeless when he was born and when he was discharged from the hospital...plan was to take him to my mom's when he was discharged well that didn't happen DCFS took him before he ever got to leave the hospital. A few months later almost completed our service plan moving on to being able to do trial home placement in a month or less. Well told DCFS (wasn't hiding it just wasn't mentioning it unless asked) that I was pregnant our case worker right off the bat said if our current case wasn't closed when this one is born the they will take him. However everything that caused us to lose our first son has been corrected can they still take his sibling when born just because we have an open case...even though the situation is totally reversed (we have a home, and steady jobs) so would they still be able to take this one when he's born?...
Trigger. Our precious boy
Last night, December 8th, 2015, at 9:58pm, our sweet precious baby boy was born sleeping. We spent 5 wonderful hours with him: holding him, talking to him, singing to him, mourning him, praying for him, and weeping over him.
Yesterday's estimated weight on my baby during the ultrasound he weighed 7lb 11oz do you think he will fit into newborn clothes the day he's born ? if he comes out at around 8lbs? Or should I take 0-3 just in case ??
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
SLEEP TRAINING
So.. we hired a sleep consultant to try to help our baby soothe himself to sleep and we got a sleep training plan for him. It's basically putting him down in his crib, sound machine on, and letting him cry for 3 minutes before going into the room to comfort him. The plan is to repeat this until he falls asleep by himself (which I believe will take us the whole night, if we are lucky)
I tried something similar when he was about 2 months old. I started at 7 pm and gave in at 2 am ...
