I don't have a personal wtf, but my wtf has to do with something I saw on a tv show. I was watching Rattled last night. I was a little disappointed with the first episode, but I suppose they need to get all the introductions of the families out of the way before the good stuff comes. So anyway I can't remember the name of the couple that did this, but one of the couples on there had made a Google docs color coded spreadsheet type schedule of the times they were going to feed their baby, change it, put it down to sleep etc, so that they could train it to get it on a schedule to sleep through the night. Now I know that it is possible to do that, but I also know that it occurs later on down the line like three or more months in. These people talked and acted like they were going to implement this soon as the baby came home. I'm sitting there like, you guys are going to be in for a really rude awakening. I mean they had tablets and stuff synced to the schedule set up around the house in order to alert them on the times and stuff lol. I hope they show and episode of this failing big time.
It kinda depends actually. These people sound totally nuts, but doing a schedule similar to this even from the very beginning is not all that uncommon. We were actually recommended by our pediatrician to follow a schedule of feed, active awake time, nap time. We loosely followed BabyWise, which is a parent-directed feeding schedule. It definitely helped our LO be more predictable, I knew when he was hungry, tired, etc. and it helped get him on a real schedule for when he was older. We were quite flexible with it, however. Regardless, sounds like these a-holes are in for a rude awakening.
WTF to this three hour glucose test. I'm flipping starving, the baby is slamming on my bladder, and I'm still bruised from the one hour last Friday. Luckily the techs are being gentle, but I just wish I could skip the test and take the GD diagnosis. Alas, here I sit. Two blood draws down, two to go.
I see a lot of complaints about the 3 hour test. Why is it so difficult? Is it because you have to sit there for 3 hours? Which I know is bad and annoying...or is it worse? Like is the drink worse at the 3-hour test?
Re: WTF Wednesday anyone?
