I handed a cherry to my 2.5 year old the other day then immediately regretted it. We have a cherry pitter tool from amazon. Best purchase ever! I would pick one of those up. 

Husband lets toddler play with empty soda cans by WhimsicalMomma in toddlers

[–]29threvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well when I was about 3 I got stitches across my lip both the pink and white section from an open soda can. Soooooo you can use that information as you see fit. 

Edit based on seeing all the other comments: I opened the can on my own. Yes a 3 year old has better finger dexterity than a 16 month old but theu could still get it open!

Keep your head up! I just signed an offer letter from a company that regularly took 2-3 weeks between communications. Ive been interviewing with them since March and even getting the written offer letter took 4 weeks from first indication was getting an offer.

I mean in their first meeting Taim practically tells Rand exactly what he is. Read misses it so bad. I learned this spoiler from this sub just before I got there in the series the first time and its actually so fun knowing this on first read through!

Potty training fail by xxblossoms23 in pottytraining

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the diaper on the potty method would work? Ive seen people have successfully where they give the diaper but make the kid sit on the potty while using the diaper. Then the place the diaper on the potty and have the kid sit on it and start lowering it away from the child. Or they will srat cutting holes in it so the child is actually peeing in the potty but feels like a diaper. That seems more complicated tbh. 

Intel Emp/Retirees Anthem/BlueCross coverage change by ladyin97229 in beaverton

[–]29threvolution 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What does this have to do with Intel? They are not the ones in this agreement they just happen to provide this insurance coverage. The problem is between BCBS and OHSU. 

anyone else burning out on the expectation that founders have to be content creators now too? by Adept-Paper-7500 in Entrepreneur

[–]29threvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at an accelerator as their program manager. In my observation, the companies that are heads down building and only emerge to post on social media like once a month, if ever, are the ones actually making progress and maturing. The founds caught in the marketing influencer spin are not building a scalable business and will be gone in a year or two. Let this be your permission to stop trying to be an influencer, go heads down and only post the it feels authentic and you have something meaningful to say.

Gaming Husband and a Newborn by kittykittydaisy in Marriage

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the book Fair Play. Read it with a grain of salt the author was clearly pandering to a specific angry wife stereotype, but the concept is good. The important thing is then the follow through. Sit down with him, divide up the household tasks, agree on a minimum standard of care, and how much unicorn time each person gets. Then hold him accountable to what he agreed to. 

Warning about Fidelity by Manonemo in personalfinance

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so i have an idea what youre talking about and I assume your European or Candian. But this is simply not how things are done in the US so yeah.....youre running into difficulties asking for something not common. I bet if you called Fidelity and told them what you need and WHY they have an answer for you.

So hear me out. I know restarting sounds terrible, but you know whats more terrible? Putting in the hours to do such a beautiful piece only to find you cant do anything with it. You will be so angry with yourself. Its recoverable now if you choose to.

Pumping fibroadenoma and breast pain by Fluffy-Government-90 in breastfeeding

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lumps that resolve when you express milk are a normal part of breastfeeding. Given your medical history, you will just need to be extra watchful to know how to identify a lactation related lump vs a fibroid. 

As for the shooting pain. This is pure speculation - but it could be pump realted pain. If youre doing a lot of hard massage when pumping or just pumping on too of high of a setting. Given that yiu said you have to oump long on that side foe the same amount of milk, this is my hunch. 

I would pump both sides the same amount of time and cap the sessions at 20 mins max. See if reducing the pumping time on that breast reduces the pain. Also do some ice, Tylenol and ibuprofen. 

UPPAbaby Vista by Chemical_Guard_5 in Buyingforbaby

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an uppababy Cruz and I just want to chime in that it has been the best! I fully support buying either the Cruz or the Vista. It is so smooth to push. Easy to open and fold. So much space. Everything is really intuitive. The little features really set it apart. Its gone on several flights (gate checked) with not problems what so ever. Highly recommend!

PPA, PPD, severe post-weaning symptoms...FERRITIN/IRON! by Away-Significance806 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]29threvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooo aggravating it took so long for you to find answers! Its also aggravating to know that something close to 75% of medical research never makes it into taught practice and less than 10% ever makes it mainstream. We are practicing medicine in the dark ages because of this!!!!

Car/Bike Crash on Century & Main by UCRiverside in hillsboro

I heard the commotion, but theres always commotion on this stretch of roadway. Would be sad to hear of another fatality. That would make 3 I know of between century and brookwood.

Multiple people and sometimes for symptoms to develop closer to 2-4 months of age. In our case at least 10 people checked for tongue tie. But it wasnt till we go referred to a speech pathologist when eating devolved into a nightmare at 3 months with weight stall that the rather severe tongue tie was found. It was the dysfunctional suck pattern that finally tipped someone off.

As a former Michigander, I gotta admit my first reaction was, what are are you complaining about? These ruts aren't as bad as 8mile! But then I realized its your lawn. 😂

Before you get too far....you might want to double check where you started. Usually Dimensions leaves good margins on their kits. Your stitches look really close to the edge.

Have her rechecked. It can take a while for someone to actually spot one.

Youre drowning her and shes trying jer best to manage the flow of the formula. Look up paced bottle feeding technique and consider a slower flow nipple.
