mishka29 sometimes DS will end up with his face planted into the mattress. It's usually right when he falls asleep. I usually go in there and move his head.
LO just started rolling to one side the other day. She does roll from belly to back. She's 4 months old.
I think the person on FB is likely exaggerating a bit. It's quite possible their baby has rolled but infants don't tend to "master" rolling until 5-6 months. (Obviously there is a wide range of variation on an individual level though, and probably also in what one considers "mastering" rolling).
Tl;dr your baby is normal
This exactly. Even newborns can roll but the possibility of "mastering" it that young is unlikely. DD rolled once when she was 12 weeks old but I don't count it because she was laying on in the middle of our bed and just rolled into one of the dips in our mattress.
DD just did that today! She's really working hard on that roll, but it was my weight on the mattress that did it. They'll all roll soon enough.
I should save this for a Friday confession but I'd forget by then. I was taking my DAD photos of DS for Father'a Day and realized I bought two d's. I'm an idiot.
Puaaaaaaah! Took me a while to figure it out though

I showed my mom the letters I used. She asked where the other D was.
This no love titting shit is getting on my nerves. Thank you for all suggestions for O's itchy head. michelle142 socks are coming next, thanks!
@holachica commiserating for our twinsies. How is not swaddling going? I'm scared even more with this head scratching business. Btw, it's been a while but I laughed out loud with the two Ds so thank you
lilyelayne I feel ya on the swaddle vs roll. I'm nervous O hasn't rolled yet but the swaddle is like sleep heaven for me and him.
taberbtb oh lady.....I'm sending all the sleep gods to you tonight
misshart00 you're amazing. Breaks are necessary. You do you!
I am 99% sure I am going to leave this forum and delete my account if I can later tonight when I have time.
I knew he stupid baby babble thread was a mistake the second I posted it, I even said as much in earlier's spam. I also know I'm a newb mom and I should probably research things before posting, but I didn't and I got a little come down on and even though I am probably being WAAAAY oversensitive, I just cant handle stuff like that and thereby I should probably not participate in forums anymore.
My hormones are wacky ever since baby and I've always been low self esteem and shy, even though I'm friendly and educated and well read. I never really posted much on the bump for fear of getting poked at because I know myself, and I loved that on this forum the group has always been crazy supportive. Unfortunately, I let hormones and hurt feelings get to me and I have literally been crying for two hours. Overdramatic? Absolutely. Cant help it. Its mostly that I will be so so so devastated to leave.
I will miss the regulars from this board so terribly much. We've been through so much together and I am simply crushed to leave. But I cant handle internet forums it seems, and it's not fair to my baby or my career that this just sucked up hours of my day.
WittyLittle,I hope your sister has a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful baby! GeekBeagle, I hope your pup feels better and your formula baby gets over his milk protein sensitivity miniwheat,good luck with your extraction and implant in July. Its not so bad! lilyelayne, Thank you for always being so nice! PikoPiko,I hope your little one's sleep problems resolve soon! aggiebug, you're an awesomely supportive member of this community! dreemkin, thanks for the formula Friday board, it really helped me through those first few months.
I love you guys!!!! Peace!
No come back!! I'm so sorry for whatever happened but I don't want you to go! Eta- after reading dacora post I realize that if you need to leave I understand but you will be missed
jensoprano82 You do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself, even if it means doing something you really don't want to do. I don't want to see you go, but I understand needing to do what's best for you. *creepy internet hugs*
I am sorry if the comment I made particular offended you. It was in good fun. I was sarcastic on the bump, I'm sarcastic in real life, and felt that I could just be myself here. It makes me frustrated that when we try to have fun with you guys, like we did on TB, we get labeled bullies and "mean girls".

Every morning this week DS has started crying while I'm in the shower. He isn't crying when I start, but by time I get out he's hysterical and cries so hard he starts coughing. Even when I pick him up he doesn't calm down.
This morning he projectile spit up all over me right after eating, probably because he was so upset when I was latching him on. Of course we were already running late.
I also don't feel that anything inflammatory was particularly said to you, but if it upset you, you're entitled to that. I just don't personally think it was anything to GBCB over. Obviously you have gotten a lot of support from this community, who care about you, so just....stay?

jensoprano82 i hope you dont leave. I understand your reasons but i hope you can get past them because i liked having you around! Otherwise maybe take a break and come back whdn youre ready? I didnt see the problem with your original thread tbh but i havent read the updates ... just wanted to send this and hopefully reach you before you make a decision

From an outside perspective the reason bullies and mean girls come up is because you don't post and then there is a post where you all come in and post sarcastic remarks. We're they reasonable for that thread? Yeah I would say so. But it seems like you only find it worthy to come over here to make fun and it also gives the perception you talk about this forum in your small group. Where as if you were actually a part of the community here and posted that it would be perceived quite differently.
Like I said before I don't care go do your thing, but don't get all offended when you, as a group, are perceived as a 'mean girls' clique.
jensoprano82 Internet forums, especially the dump and to a great degree this one, are full of no nonsense talk. It is also hard to perceive sarcasm or intent so you really do need a thick skin, because even if people's intentions are genuine it can easily be perceived as hurtful or mean. Did anyone mean to offend or hurt your feelings? I really don't think so.
You have been a valued member of those community and will be missed but you need to do what is best for you and your family.

^this. I just caught up. You guys are consistently confirming the opinions spoken about you earlier. The community that you guys left months ago has gone in a different direction. Feel free to be sarcastic, in your own little fb group. Its getting quite obvious that its not appreciated here.

jensoprano82 Please don't go. I love having you here. Take some time to think it over and if you feel that it's best for you and your family, that's completely understandable, though I would hate to see you leave.

Alrighty, then.
I never made an account until today. I didn't feel particularly inclined to join in here because FB was easier to keep up with since I'm 100% mobile & I'm lazy.
I changed my mind for two reasons.
1) All the stupid drama the other day made me mad and what you guys were saying upset me. I heard your point so I made my account & started joining in. I hadn't lurked until that point because WE DONT TALK ABOUT PB. We never talked about PB until that spam thread where you guys brought up sugah & us 'mean girls'. It's obvious we have different senses of humor, and although we post less, we post as if we would if we were all on TB. We aren't picking on you, we are truly just being ourselves. I wanted to prove you wrong that we aren't assholes just because we don't chime in 100% of the time. It seems silly that we can't lurk & not be a part of the community, like many of you did originally on TB. It just seems a little hypocritical. So, of course the ones who participated 110% are going to be closer to each other than those of you who participated at a 65% or an 80%. I'm truly sorry you guys were hurt by the FB group. I am, however, very happy for you guys that you have flourished on this platform.
2) I lurked and saw that people were specifically asking about me. I felt, at that point, it was rude to no longer join.
I don't think that anyone should take jensoprano82's post personally, she said herself she was overreacting and that she'd been out of sorts post-pregnancy. I think it's unfair to call her out when all she's trying to do is take care of herself and her own emotional well-being.

Listen, I apologized for my comment, because I truly do not enjoy hurting other people's feelings. I feel that this response is just a tad condescending.
jensoprano82, Noo, no, no, no. I am so bummed to read your post!
You shouldn't leave. You will be so missed here as you are a really fun, supportive and valued poster. I really hope you decide you want to go with the 1% and stay. If you do decide to go I wish you and LO all the best and hope you will be back soon. I am really going to miss you!

I appreciate you saying that, although you certainly don't need to. I already said this is me being very very overreactive, and not even particularly to you. I feel stupid for my dumb post and the fact that I got called out on it bruised my feelings place.
Everyone else, I think I am just going to try and stick around and toughen up a bit. I've been emotional and high strung lately and it's not fair for me to be all overdramatic here on the boards. I feel bad for dropping the mike and storming off like that. Can we just let bygones be bygones?
I have spent hours today dwelling on this and I simply cant leave the support of my friends, even if I do say dumb stuff sometimes that gets me wrung out.
jensoprano82, please don't go! We love having you here! I haven't read the other thread, but whatever was said there, don't take too personally. It's an internet forum and it's easy for people to say things that might be hurtful. Take the negatives with a grain of salt. If you still want to leave, I understand you need some time alone. I'd totally love to see you back again after a break if you can manage it. Please know that you'll be missed.
@holachica commiserating for our twinsies. How is not swaddling going? I'm scared even more with this head scratching business. Btw, it's been a while but I laughed out loud with the two Ds so thank you
I tried the Merlin and he woke up after 1 hour of sleep and literally would not go back down to sleep in his crib without crying. So I brought him into bed with me.
Since then I've still been swaddling at the beginning of the night. He hasn't rolled in it yet and hasn't rolled again unswaddled since last week. Then once he wakes at 2 am, I've started a bad habit of bringing him into bed with me. I figure we'll try the Merlin again next week. He's just not ready yet. I think once we start sleep training at the end of July it will be settled
Boo! Merlin is working great for us so I'm sorry it's not working as well for you. We switched to the Merlin and made some other changes at the same time which may have also helped ...
-bumped bedtime 30 minutes earlier -added a nightly bath -changed the sound machine to a water/ocean setting -feed and read a book or two with dim lighting in a onesie, then put in th Merlin, lights out, and into the crib
i think it helped because he is now very clear on when sleepy time is starting
