adhd has prepared me well for motherhood, I'm already very used to drinking cold tea

@jackinlondon this is one of the places we got it from, except I'm not quite thinking of it in those terms - if I'm confident she's awake I am extremely fast and responsive! so it's purely a diagnostic pause, not trying to train anything in the baby if she's actually awake

we basically absorbed one piece of great advice from everything we had recommended to us about baby sleep which is "babies are loud in their sleep, don't pick up the baby unless you're 100% sure they're awake" which we followed since the day she was born

@Kirsten3531 yeah, I'm hoping the conditioning will make things easier, and her having already practised self settling through our other night time habits she slept for 8 and a half hours straight last night and is in an incredible mood today!

@clarityscape I'm so happy for you, that's great! Iiuc bedtime routine still helps even when things are harder (plus they get used to a set bedtime when they're older which really really helps!)

holy **** the bedtime routine just *worked*…? we tried to get baby into a routine ~1w ago - nappy change, whiten noise on, sleeping bag, give the dummy, turn the big lights out and sing a lullaby (once sung & then hummed). today by the second time hummed she was asleep, no fuss

@oldestasian yeah, i have lots of videos with 1 like on Instagram reels which would never happen on the other platforms - they would take that like as a cue to show it to similar user niches

@clarityscape Agree, no video ever went viral on ig for me, though the same would on tiktok and yt. Though i think secretly bc i paid for ads once they think ill do it again if they deprive me of views

so after 2 months of x-posting everything from tiktok to youtube and insta reels I'm giving up on the latter - the vibe is too different I'm finding it too much mental friction to even come up with the captions. it makes sense - I gel better with the platforms I actually use

I'm aware things will all get worse again at 4 months and I should enjoy this while they last

@bananamelter I love coconut milk & similar drinks, but I'm mostly into coconut water for the rehydration properties right now! really good for breastfeeding

@bananamelter in addition to my normal favourites (eggs, spring onions, broccoli, apples, tortilla wraps...), I've been enjoying: coconut water, chia seeds, lamb shoulder, borlotti beans, tenderstem broccoli, butternut squash, and lentil chips

truly the best time to start poasting was 4 years ago or rather, 4 years ago the best time to start poasting was today

I do love and appreciate all 7 subscribers on my from-scratch YouTube account though 💖

wild how much difference not starting from zero is. even an inactive for 2 years 100 shorts tiktok account gives me so much more reach and interactions. plus all the muscle memory from having done it before - the lack of anxiety compared from starting from scratch is crazy

new mum brain fog means chess improvement is totally not a realistic aspiration right now - so I've hobby-hopped back to short videos. back on tiktok, now making "mum content" (cringe 😅 but it's where my head is at)

are the cartoon children voiced by children? this one question is all you need to determine whether a piece of children's media is good

adhd hobby hopping feels a lot less cursed when you reliably hop *back* to old hobbies, even ones from years ago - but this is only possible if you maintain good relationships with past and future you. sometimes we have adhd-burned bridges with ourselves that need mending first

also crossposting to youtube shorts (clarityscape) and insta reels (qing.clarityscape) if those platforms are more your speed

I'm really glad I'm doing this 100 tiktok challenge I've finally got myself a recording setup at my keyboard, and posted something from it. I haven't sang a full song at the piano for... Ooh... 15 years? Let alone recording anything I'm glad I've found motivation to play again
