Trainwreck Alex Dacy / Alex Dzimtowicz / Wheelchair Rapunzel - 50% wholesome disability influencer, 50% that cash me outside girl

I do, but it's a picture taken of me when I was 4 months old.
Family photos, wedding photos, photos of you taken with your friends on special occasions, maybe even 'artistic' shots of yourself taken before/after radical surgery that drastically changed your appearance... those are all perfectly normal. A ways back I came across someone who does 'boob vases' on Etsy, for women who have to have mastectomies and honestly thought it was a great idea. But an entire bank of photos just of yourself? That shit is not normal.
 
The baby is home. The subreddit is awash in powerleveling and moralizing galore in response. Start the clock on how long it takes Noah to dip out for a pack of smokes and never return.
I give it like a week tops before he has a “relapse” and has to go Florida for “rehab.” They’re gonna be so miserable.

I don’t care how or where he goes, as long as he goes. Newborns are stressful enough for well adjusted parents, an addict less than a month clean (lol) with actually diagnosed BPD is a danger to that child when she’s inconsolably screaming at 3am for the third night in a row. At least Alex is physically incapable of shaking the baby.
 
Ari is indeed home.

Apparently those formula dispensers are so unreliable at dispensing the right amount there is a court case against the manufacturers because peoples babies were starving and they now come with the instruction that you have to do regular maintenance checks to make sure thats not happening. BUT LOOK HOW CUTE IT LOOKS WITH THE KEURIG ITS LIKE A LITTLE BABY KEURIG BECAUSE BABY IS LIKE A LITTLE MINI ALEX.
It's also not appropriate for a premature baby until it's at least 3 months old (adjusted).

To make sterile formula (which an early baby like this needs) you need to pour boiling water INTO THE FORMULA powder and then let it cool. Boiling the water and letting it cool and then adding it to the powder does nothing because most water in the West is perfectly safe to drink.

So the baby brezza (while fine for most kids over 3 months old, not withstanding the issues it had/has with adding the right amount of powder) is not appropriate.

Also, taking care of a newborn is easy (sorry if I'm bursting any bubbles here) they physically can't stay awake for long periods of time, they sleep, eat, and shit - that's it. They also can't move anywhere. By the time you've fed them (after they've slept and shit) it's time to put them back to bed.

By the time a baby is no longer a complete potato you have to entertain it. Then it starts to get mobile and the real "fun" begins."

Newborn baby care is pretty straightforward, yes, but the hard part is that it's constant. Every 2-4 hours, eat, shit, sleep (unless they stay awake a little to be grumpy), day and night.
Neither Alex nor Noah are capable of.... Well, literally anything, so here's hoping there's a care team for Ari. I don't see a single person caring for Alex and Ari 24/7 for very long.
 
Ever had a baby with colic? They don’t sleep as much, they cry instead. A mom can spend hours just rocking, bouncing, carrying, putting on a vacuum, on the washer, vibrating chair, trying different music and positions -ANYTHING to get some quiet and ease the baby. It takes a couple weeks after the baby is born to set in, true, but after ten days your kid can scream for 4 months straight, night and day. Ask me how I know.

It’s physically and emotionally difficult for even the healthiest, most devoted parents. If Ari has colic they just won’t manage at all. I think they will miss critical bonding time under the best circumstances but I can see Alex leaving a screaming baby to get to the club.

Is this a new thing? Because that's not what I've ever seen done.
Most feeds in NICU were premixed (came in a jar and you just screw a teat on top, or pour into another bottle/feeding syringe for gravity feeds), but when there was a baby that needed something different (eg. Mum wanted a soy based feed) it was just made with the usual sterile water + sterilised bottles/teats.

if your baby is under 3 months or was born premature, yes, it is a thing.

Lmao sure for some babies. I know someone with a baby that didn’t sleep through the night for 18 months. When baby finally figured out how to sleep and stop screaming 24/7, her mom woke up in the morning and was sure her baby had died overnight because that seemed more likely than the baby learning to self-soothe and stay asleep. I’ve spoken to other moms who had colicky babies who fantasize about walking into traffic or driving over a ledge just to escape the constant crying.

I am hoping that Baby Ari is one of those unicorn babies that never cries and sleeps through the night right away, because her BPD father is going to shake her if she has colic for months on end. Alex can just wheel away from the problem but Noah cannot. Between caregiver burnout and the inevitable reality that he will be caring for Alex AND Ari, that baby is in real danger of physical harm.
 
He doesn’t have that loving look of a new father or seen happy or excited. It’s more a look of regret and disappointment, like he’s feeling trapped.
He honestly looks dead tired, which would normally be a standard new dad/new baby thing, but we all know he's tired from partying & staying out all night, not dad duties.
 
Jfc. All it takes is one strong wiggle and that baby is hitting the fucking floor.
Can’t she lean the wheelchair back a bit? So if she does and when she does wiggle loose she wiggles inward? Buh. These are dark times.

Baby is honestly probably stronger than Alex already.

Fuck ETA: if Ari starts spitting up is Alex even quick/strong enough to put her in the right position fend off a gnar aspiration possibility? *sigh*
