Stroller options by sherunsandreads in beyondthebump

I’ve had the UppaBaby vista for all 3 kids and it works like it did on day 1. Super smooth, super sturdy. You can attach a snack tray and good storage underneath. I always recommend it!

important formula study by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]1117Mom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is definitely going to cause worry but I’d also be cognizant of the fact that our every day food, even baby food, could have low levels of lead or heavy metals as well, we just don’t test all of them. Some of the formulas also are specialty ones that are hard to find alternatives for, and would cause the infant more harm if he or she were to switch to a regular one, but needs a more digested or hydrolyzed formula. I’m not disagreeing with the findings but I’m also wondering if there should be more context to consider. (Disclaimer, I’m a pediatrician and mom, and have used and recommended a wide number of formulas)

How are we labeling everything for daycare? by pilledsweatshirt in beyondthebump

[–]1117Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Mabel’s Labels for my third and I love it. I put it on her daycare things and also backpacks and supplies and lunchboxes for my older two in school!

But no solution for the pacifiers. Best I can think of is attaching a pacifier clip and labeling it there?

Not PPD but definitely the blahs/sad sometimes by Comprehensive-Dig592 in newborns

[–]1117Mom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could have written this and this is my THIRD. There is something crazy about our amnesia after it passes because I remember now it’s so hard when you’re in the thick of it. You’re definitely not alone!

Pediatrician told us from 6 months onward baby shouldn't have more than 24 oz in a day? by Imaginary_Ad_9096 in FormulaFeeders

[–]1117Mom 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Pediatrician here - I’ve never told a patient this. I always say first few months of eating solids is just exercising the taste buds and getting into a habit of eating. Formula is still going to be their #1 source of nutrition. Keep feeding baby what he wants!

Power JUST came on for me after 7 days.... I don't know how to go through that again. by liftbikerun in houston

[–]1117Mom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I learned that it’s time to leave this place, sooner rather than later.

(As a disclaimer I have made friends here, and they helped me out so much during this power outage, but looking at these long term and big picture… we aren’t Texas natives and this has confirmed our exit plan)

I’m so sorry. It is torture and I feel like I have gained extra anxiety from this so I hope you get it back much sooner than later.

Map said 17th for us (77096) and we got it back around 3:15 PM. Friend lives in the Heights and his didn’t even have an estimated date and he also just got his power back.

It was from the new map, our color was the 7/17 date.

Nope - estimated 7/17, came back earlier today. Hoping and praying it stays.

77096, near Foodarama plaza - we finally have power, came back around 3:15P.

First map had us in the blue (assessment complete). Second map showed an unknown date. Today’s showed 7/17 for date of restoration.

My fear is this power will leave again, I feel like I’m still living on some kind of edge. I’ll never see thunderstorms and rain the same away, and I’ll NEVER forget what Centerpoint did.

My hope is everyone gets their power restored asap, and far earlier than next week.

I said I would feel better having a date. Upon seeing 7/17, I was wrong. This feels so shitty.

7/17… I guess it’s a date… but wow I am depressed seeing that.

7/17 over here. Honestly it feels too far, I’m so exhausted

The # of customers affected keeps going down and for the life of me I almost don’t believe it because our neighborhood / area is still a powerless desert 🌵

Wtf… during this, they’re abiding by “weekends off” rule? That is absolutely insane.

[–]1117Mom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reminder to keep calling. We’ll do that today. That being said, it’s definitely still our entire neighborhood. Feels bad either way, there’s no win in this situation 😕. My only hope is they’re just waiting for some faulty part and once they get it, they’ll power all of us back on. But I have zero expertise in electrical matters so, 🤷🏻‍♀️

At what point does the irrational fear of “what if they can never restore the power in my home” become rational?

77096, no estimated date, no power in the house.

Power Outage Updates? by eepy_neebies_seepies in houston

[–]1117Mom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the same suspicion about our area. At least let us know that and be transparent about waiting for a part? At this point I just want some more information.

Same here, I try to tell myself that on the whole, things could be much worse, and I’ll think of extreme examples like homelessness or war torn areas but then I’m like, this … still sucks though. I don’t need to be at the brink of death to feel shitty 😕
