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.

My newborn hasn’t slept in the past week, getting over tired to the point he refuses to sleep. No stretches longer than 1 hour for at least 5 days now.

He had a MEGA meltdown last night, screamed and cried for 3+ hours, gave him a bath and he actually slept 5 hours last night.

He has eaten (I breastfeed him) today just fine. He fell asleep at 4:30 and it’s 10:42 now. I woke him up for diaper change and he cried but then fall back asleep. I’ve been able to nurse him about 10 minutes then he’s asleep again.

Is he okay? Just crashing from days of no sleep? He went to the pediatrician today (for diaper rash) and she didn’t see anything else wrong with him.

Hi, I have a little baby boy who will be 3 weeks tomorrow. We’ve been dealing with no sleep since the day he was born and I know that’s typical, but over the last week he’s developed the symptoms below. He’s exclusively breastfed. I have cut out dairy starting today in case it’s CMPA (my brother & niece both had CMPA) & he has a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning. Any advice????

Sharp sudden Screaming in sleep
Crying while Trying to poop (able to pass gas though)
Constantly wanting to nurse (can nurse for over an hour and still want more, gaining 44g a day on average)
Never sleeps more than an hour, ONLY consoled when nursing
Dry/red skin, always having to lotion
Screams like he’s in pain in car seat
Bright green stool
Always hot/red, no fever
Constant sneezing
Constant hiccups, even when kept upright after eating
Dark skin around eyes
Rash on bottom, tried diaper cream

Sleep. How.

My husband gets 12 weeks off of work (extremely thankful) and can break it up throughout the year. He took off a month since our daughter was born, and he goes back next week (he’s saving the rest for throughout the year). Oh yeah and he works night shift. 😵‍💫

Our baby will not sleep more than maybe 1.5 hours through the night. I’ve been waking up to breastfeed (baby hates bottles and has horrible gas no matter what bottle we’ve tried) but he’s been changing all the diapers and taking her into the living room whenever he can to calm her down and let me rest, and I do vice versa for him when he can’t stay up any longer. I am EXHAUSTED. I was having some baby blues that got better…but this long term sleep deprivation is really getting to me mentally. I have started to break down crying anytime my baby wakes me up.

How in the world am I going to be able to handle him going back to work? I accidentally fell asleep with the baby in the recliner the other night and it scared me to death. I don’t have a mom/any other help that can come during the night. I’m worried him going back to work and me being solo all night it going to break me. My husband is also cleaning, cooking all my meals, doing all the laundry, and truly keeping me afloat. Oh yeah, and she screams to the point she quits breathing in her car seat so I’m terrified to drive anywhere with her alone.

Just sad because I’m trying to enjoy these newborn times…but I’m finding myself just surviving. Any advice?

I have a 2 week old baby boy. For almost 5 days now he has been “cluster feeding” I guess. I can’t go more than 30 minutes almost without feeding him. At night we get maybe hour-2 hour long stretches and he wants to feed. I try to keep him up and eating by tickling him or changing his diaper halfway through the feed, but sometimes he just wants to sleep there or the comfort.

We saw a LC yesterday and she said he is gaining 44g a day and we might be overfeeding him. I was doing bottles of pumped milk at night and when we are on the go, but mostly breastfeeding. I was afraid he wasn’t getting enough!! She told me to keep him active and awake/eating for 30 minutes, then hand him to my husband for 10 minutes, and if he’s crying then he can go back and feed another 30 minutes on me.

We started this today and it’s been awful. About an hour ago he finally cracked and started crying to the point he was purple and holding his breath. I was worried it was maybe gas or something but no gas exercises helped and he had a large dirty diaper during the fit. I finally just popped him on the boob and he immediately calmed down. He’s now laying on me asleep. It absolutely broke my heart seeing him that upset.

What do I do? Just keep following his hunger cues? He’s well above birth weight now. I think by doing bottles/BF maybe I was over feeding, but I’m ONLY exclusively breastfeeding now. Any advice?

My baby is 11 days old. I have been so excited about breastfeeding even before I knew I was pregnant. I have the sweetest little baby boy that was prayed for a long time.

Breastfeeding immediately hurt. The second they put him on me and I tried to feed, there was pain. I absolutely obliterated my nipples while in the hospital. A LC came and tried to help me but they were beyond repair. The midwife prescribed me Newmans cream and I only pumped for the first week while they healed. I was getting more than enough while pumping for him.

I went to a LC appointment last Friday. She got him latched without pain finally and he got 2oz out (he was actually super sleepy this appointment, he usually seems like he gets more). I left feeling confident in exclusively BF again.

I got home and tried to feed him, immediate pain again. I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t latched in so long or what. I’ve still been breastfeeding him since last Friday and my boobs are on FIRE. If I can push past the first 15 seconds of him latching, I can somewhat handle it. My left boob is literally impossible for him to latch, he just tries to eat his hands.

We went on a short walk today. I fed him 2x on the way to the park (literally pulled over and fed him) and then fed him at the park. Only 10 minutes into the walk, he’s screaming bloody murder and biting at this hands. I lost it. I’m walking back to the car with this crying screaming baby, while I’m also crying myself. He CONSTANTLY wants to be fed. My boobs hurt so bad. If he’s not on my boob or asleep, he’s screaming. I knew breastfeeding could be hard, but it’s taking a toll on me.

Any advice? Do I go back to pumping only until I see my LC again this Thursday? I literally dread feeding my child and I am really beating myself up about it. Has anyone had a similar experience and ended up successfully breastfeeding?
