oh yeah and obviously don't get a babby monitor that connects to the internet in any way unless you want strangers watching your child sleep (or using the microphone)

in america, things are working as intended. the rich folks have parties that have covid test screens before you go in, and all the poor folks working service industries are told they'll be fired without unemployment if they don't work anyway. anything else still working in the meantime is a happy accident.

Much like with my posts about actual code! for me, having a conceptual understanding of parenting was like playing with a snowglobe: you can swirl it around in your hand and see how your movements make a neat little blizzard. then after actually having a kid though, i found myself actually inside the glass, experiencing the maelstrom from a whole new, intimate, and alien perspective. that’s my stupid analogy. thanks for reading. like and subscribe for more.

We appear to be 'clueless' about it today because there is an absolutely incredible amount of effort put into dropping that rate to zero. nobody remembers the 2 year olds that died in 1947 from sticking a fork in a light socket or the millions of infants that died of sids. they got a tiny gravestone and the family moved on and the parents tried again.

And yeah I heard those bumpers we all had when we were kids are super bad if you get one with a camera they typically switch the video on when the mic picks up sound above some threshold, or just continuously relays the audio. video's handy to be able to determine whether the babby's all the way awake or just settling themselves back down, without having to open the door and committing to waking them up we got this one because it lets you remotely rotate the camera and also reports the temperature of the room, but that stuff really isn't necessary oh yeah also make sure to get a diaper pail that uses regular garbage bags, the ones that use their own proprietary bags are bullshit

haveblue posted:“sids” basically means “we have no idea why this baby died” in the first place so one of the things that newborns hafta develop is this rousing response, basically before that they can't figure out that they've stopped breathing while they're asleep this is made worse if they're positioned badly while they're asleep, because the lack of rousing response means they can't shift themselves to breathe easier while they're asleep either. this is why you put them on their back to sleep and why you can't have absolutely anything else in the crib with them they develop this around... 6 months i think? it varies and it's different for boys and girls, but there's a peak at some number of weeks after birth when sids is most likely, we know quite a bit more about it nowadays

Uptime Sinclair posted:i’ve found some parents who make a big deal about having lots of freedom have their kids’ grandparents who live with them (or nearby at constant beck and call) and who do little else besides taking care of the kid(s). “we can do what we want if we plan it out” is usually dumping the kid(s) on their free babysitters and letting them figure it out yeah we know a few couples like that and they’re terribly smug about constantly inconveniencing their parents. “oh why don’t you see if they can have a gramma/grandpa night??” “because the only grandparents capable of keeping up with my two year old still work and can’t be exhausted the day after” Uptime Sinclair posted:sorry to go off on you tt. i guess the only safe thing you can say as a current sane parent within earshot of other (current, questionably sane) parents is “we’re lucky and have found a way to make it work”. nw and I’m sorry if I’m oversimplifying how difficult it can be sometimes, I’ve admittedly been extremely lucky to have easy going kids I’m currently watching footbaw with my youngest asleep on my chest
