My son is 4 months old and recently started doing something that has me really worried. He will be completely fine and then seemingly out of nowhere, if someone starts talking to him (especially someone he isn’t used to) or there’s a louder/unexpected noise, he will suddenly burst into tears. Sometimes it seems almost like he gets startled or overwhelmed.

The weird thing is that he is otherwise very social. He makes good eye contact, smiles at us, coos, responds to us, and seems very engaged with me and his dad. He still does all of those things normally.

I think I’m probably overthinking this, but I’ve been really anxious about autism lately. I also recently read about a study looking at certain medications taken during pregnancy and autism risk, and buspirone (Buspar) was included. I took Buspar only very early in pregnancy/first trimester, which has made my anxiety about this even worse.

Has anyone else’s 4 month old gone through a phase where they suddenly cried when people talked to them or when there were loud/unexpected noises? Did it turn out to just be a startle/sensitivity phase?
I know nobody on Reddit can diagnose him — I’m just looking for other parents’ experiences because my anxiety is getting the best of me right now.

I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has dealt with Tesla delivery before.
We have a Tesla delivery appointment in Clermont, FL. The car is being purchased/registered in my name, and I am the primary buyer. My husband is the co-signer on the financing.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to travel to Florida for the pickup, so my husband would need to go by himself and take delivery of the car.
Has anyone been in this situation? Can the co-signer pick up the vehicle without the primary buyer being physically present? If so, did Tesla require a signed authorization, copy of the primary buyer’s ID, or any other paperwork?
I’m trying to make sure everything is squared away before he travels to Florida, because I definitely don’t want him to get there and be told he can’t take the car home. 😅
Any firsthand experience with this would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone still waiting on a VIN? Located in Tennessee. I keep seeing where some areas are getting a “wave” of vins finally getting assigned. Hoping I get one soon!!! Seeing tons of new premiums/performance models added to inventory lately.

I very stupidly sold my 2025 MYLR 3 months ago. I wanted a Jeep.

Yes I know that was dumb lol

I am not made of money like everyone telling me to get the premium is lol. Am I going to really miss some of the nicer features from my 25’? I honestly just miss not paying for gas and the big screen lol I’m not much on bells & whistles.

I ordered a Model Y recently specifically with the 0.99% promo in mind. I was told by the Tesla rep that once I apply for financing and get approved, the approval/rate is locked for 60 days.
The problem is my current delivery estimate is Dec 1–Jan 12, and the community tracker is estimating Dec 14. 😬 It’s also estimating a VIN around Sept 6, but obviously that’s not guaranteed.
The 0.99% promo ends 9/30, so I’m trying to figure out how this is realistically supposed to work.
My understanding is:
If I apply/lock the 0.99% on or before 9/30, I have 60 days from approval.
If I don’t take delivery within those 60 days, I may have to reapply.
But if I reapply after the 60 days, the 0.99% promo may be gone.
My current delivery estimate is potentially well beyond that 60-day window.
Has anyone else ordered a Model Y with the 0.99% promo but gotten a delivery estimate that’s past the 60-day financing approval window?
Did Tesla honor the 0.99% when you had to reapply, or did you lose the promotional rate?
Also, when did you apply for financing relative to your order/VIN assignment?
Trying to figure out whether I should wait as long as possible to apply, or if I’m potentially setting myself up to lose the promo either way. 😅
Screenshot of my current estimate below.

Getting realllll worried I won’t be able to apply for financing to secure it in time, delivery date is all the way to January 2027. 😵‍💫

I’m looking at ordering a Tesla but my delivery estimate is October-November. I asked Tesla Assist if there’s a way to lock in the 0.99% APR now, and this is what they told me:
“Your APR is locked for up to 60 days after you accept your financing terms. If your delivery falls outside that 60-day window, a new credit application and credit pull will be required.”
So basically it sounds like I can’t lock in the 0.99% now because my delivery is too far out.
Does anyone know if I can just wait until I’m within 60 days of delivery and apply then, assuming the 0.99% promo is still going? Or is there some way to lock it in when ordering?
Also wondering who would be better to put on the loan. I have around a 750 score but I don’t currently work. My husband makes $145k but his credit isn’t as good (653 TU / 723 Equifax).
Would it be better for me to be primary with him as co-applicant, or him primary with me as co-applicant? Or should I try applying by myself?
Just trying to get the best chance at approval and the 0.99% rate. Anyone dealt with this recently?

Hi! I have a sweet 8 week old baby with dairy/soy allergies (CMPA). I’ve been dairy/soy free for 5 weeks now. Before pregnancy/breastfeeding I was pretty strictly animal based. Food aversion and severe reflux during pregnancy, and now CMPA, has definitely made my diet a challenge (I still avoid seed oils but I’m not against an Oreo or something here and there lol). I’m also thinking eggs are hurting baby’s stomach too. We have been to the ER this week with suspected seizures actually, but it was just Sandifer syndrome, a severe reaction to reflux/gas/food intolerances…so I have to be so careful.

Any meal ideas or easy meal prep plan suggestions? This baby is a VELCRO baby so anything I can toss in the air fryer/microwave (I was so anti microwave but parenting humbled me quick 😂) easy meals would be great!! My husband will gladly grill steak or whatever for me, I just need to be able to prep it to eat throughout the week. I miss raw cheese and milk SO bad it hurts. 😭😭😭😭😭

Has anyone had a baby react after mom started taking brewer’s yeast while breastfeeding?

My 8-week-old has been having what the ER thinks is Sandifer syndrome/reflux. He suddenly started having episodes where he’d stiffen his arms, scream, and turn bright red. He’s also become incredibly fussy and is basically only happy while nursing or taking a bottle.

The timing has me wondering because I ate a pretty large amount of brewer’s yeast (around 4 tablespoons in some banana bread) shortly before all of this started. I know it’s supposed to help milk supply, but now I’m wondering if it could have changed something in my milk or upset his stomach. I have been dairy/soy free for about 5 weeks now.

Has anyone experienced anything similar, or is this probably just a coincidence? Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

Hi! I had my little guy on 4/30. I’ve been 80% of the time breastfeeding him and 20% pumping/bottles (for my sanity). The past 2 weeks my bleeding finally stopped, but I’ve been having cramps/headaches the past few days. Today I woke up to an old friend, my period. Love that for me.

Is this normal? My 6 week checkup is Thursday and can they even exam me? Can I wear a tampon? I REALLY enjoyed not having a period this whole time. 🥲 I thought breastfeeding would make me not have one, but I guess I was misinformed.

Also…while I haven’t noticed my supply has dropped a ton…any tips if it does?

This is my favorite beer. I can’t find it in cans anywhere. I’ll Venmo you $5 if you tell me where I can find it. 😂

My baby is a sassy guy. Only is content when I’m wearing him in a solly baby wrap. I will tie it before we leave the house but it’s still really hard for me to put him in while we are out and about and in the car getting ready to go in somewhere. I had a Wildbird newborn carried but his legs/hips were way too far apart in it and the panel doesn’t adjust.

He’s 9.2 pounds and 4 weeks old this Thursday. Any recommendations for “easier” carriers for us?

My 3 week old has hates his car seat from week 1. I’m talking HATE, he screams until he is blood red and will stop breathing (I have to sit in the back and blow air so get him to take a breath!). He has a doona (I know I know) but I have fan on him, black and white pictures to hold up for him to look at, a sound machine, we’ve tried everything. He will chill if we are on a bump road for maybeeee a minute but that’s all we get. He has some crying stamina and will literally cry for over 45 minutes until he passes out. I try to make sure he’s properly fed, burped, and his diaper/clothes aren’t too tight before he goes in and he still hates it. And yes….I’ve tried the happy song. He said screw your happy song. He cries from the second we strap him in, even in the living room. We were pushing him around target yesterday and he started screaming the second he woke up from his crying induced nap. I feel horrible doing this to him.

We even went to Walmart last night after a 45 minutes scream fest and got a safety first convertible car seat…I still feel like he sits super low in it. He cried when we tried it inside but he was also really tired/cranky already. I have a Tesla so it’s SO quiet and smooth, we may try putting him in my husband’s old diesel truck today to see if that helps. I’m totally open to baby wearing him when we go out at this point. Screw a stroller lol

Any advice/hope? We live out in the boonies so everything is a 30+ minute drive. I really really worry for my mental health whenever my husband has to go back to work and I’m stuck at home because I’m afraid to go anywhere with him.

Hi! I have a precious baby boy who is 3 weeks old today. I am exclusively breastfeeding him. Within the past week he has become extremely fussy, like high pitched screams and obviously uncomfortable after feedings. I will burp him halfway through and at the end, but I rarely get a good burp out of him.

I’ve been to a LC twice and his pediatrician for it yesterday (who happened to be a LC before). They all said he has no ties. He got 2oz in a weighted feed that a did. The pediatrician said it looks like he’s getting a lot of air when he eats. I’ve tried so SO SO hard to try to get his latch correct. He did it at the pediatrician like a champ and I cannot replicate it no matter what. All 3 also said I have a very strong let down. Ped said she wasn’t concerned about an allergy since he is gaining on average 44g a day.

How can I help him? I know newborns cry but it’s AWFUL. Absolutely horrible. He turns blood red and SCREAMS. I’ve tried every burp/feeding position/pillow possible. We don’t even leave the house because of how bad it is. It’s taking a huge toll on me mentally.

Please help me. My heart is absolutely broken. My husband and I just watch him and cry too.
