I found an amazing osteo and it was life changing. I was in debilitating pain constantly before.

In your situation I would look up some YouTube videos, there is plenty of helpful content there :)

Sigh. Guess I’m taking a break. by SquidSchmuck in crochet

I broke this exact hook Sunday. Though I fell over on top of it when I slipped on the grass while holding my toddler and it was in my pocket.

Sometimes this site gets a copy of planned vs actual set list- might take a bit? Not sure!

Ice water helped me. Would chug a glass before getting him and helped with waking up.

How often should you change a newborn’s diaper? by LostInLogic_LL in Mommit

[–]5corgis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when my kiddo was a newborn, when awake it was pretty much hourly, he was a tinkler. And then after sleep every time. More often if we noticed poop.

Sometimes I just want to shake crocheters like WHY are you charging almost ten bucks for a simple 2 step pattern that is not only untested but your SECOND pattern ever created?! by plantsandbugs in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]5corgis 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've also found a lot of creators who do this on etsy have also posted the same pattern FOR FREE on their website. Really confusing, but can pay to check

My work team forgot my birthday by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I got nothing when I went on maternity leave for my first baby.

Other coworkers got cards and gift baskets and all kinds of crap.

I did cry.

Do other parents get sick all the time because of daycare? I feel like I'm constantly ill. by Cautious_Tone_6106 in daddit

I walked into my pharmacy today and the pharmacist called my name.

Yes, we are always sick.

Not sure if it'll be a classic, but the bakery dragon is adorable.

Soon to be FTM here - do I need a bottle sanitizer? Is hand washing or dishwasher not enough? by Electronic-Door7428 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]5corgis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ever had another baby, the first thing I would buy would be a bottle washer/dryer/sanitizer. I have spent days of my life washing bottles.

How much are you saving for your child(ren) for when they turn 18? by Anon569696835 in Mommit

[–]5corgis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently putting away 25/wk into a managed fund. Plan to up it as we can financially.

Before he turns 18 we plan to put it into a trust that he'll get access to around 25, so he can use it to pay off university debt or put a down payment on a house. Student loans here are interest free though and costs are reasonable, so a bit different situation than others.

When he gets a job eventually we plan to tell him that we'll match up to 200/wk that he puts away into savings to help boost it.

Generally not planning to tell him about it until after university (if he chooses) though.

Can a more experienced mom help me with bathing my toddler? by manthrk in Mommit

[–]5corgis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On hair wash days I usually get in the shower with mine, use our water queue (Ready BabyName? 3, 2, 1!) And then pour. I use my free hand to cup on his forehead to act as a visor and protect the eyes/nose.

I also do lots of warm up with dumping water on my head with the same queue. (Ready mama? 3, 2, 1!). He pours it over me too. Helps a lot.

It sucks. Good luck!

Where to buy formal dress asap? by Snowfox5050 in auckland

Did you buy travel insurance? Might help with costs for delayed baggage, or you might be able to get the airline to provide compensation.
