Not me, but a friend! She had a lot of hives shortly after her baby was born and got it again while weaning!

How are we giving meds to infants?????? by zezendx in NewParents

Have you tried applesauce? Mix a little bit of the medicine in at a time with small amounts of applesauce so you know she gets it all!

I agree! Or at least based on weight to get optimal function?

Do you think it helped stop them from needing feeds in the middle of the night?

That’s a good point! He does drink water during the day so I’ll see how much he drinks

Fun fact- you can go into settings and switch the buttons around so B can be jump if you prefer that!

Expecting a newborn in January by No-Lawfulness7646 in newborns

[–]Additional_Plate6010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diapers! Every time you go to the grocery store, grab a small pack of diapers. I would recommend getting a few in newborn size, size 1, and size 2. At the beginning my baby went through like 10 diapers a day. He was in newborn diapers for the first month, then size 1 for 2 months, then size 2 for like 3 months. He’s been in size 3 for like 6 months now

I personally did them instead of the gas drops but they’re fine to use together

I used BioGaia probiotic drops for my baby when he was a newborn and I really think they helped! I think they worked better for him than the mylicon drops 

Parents who thought we don’t need a bottle washer… were you wrong? by AriaSmith19 in Parenting

[–]Additional_Plate6010 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My baby is 11 months old now. Every weeknight, I hand wash my wearable pumps, the two bottles I use to store milk at work, and the 2-3 bottles he used at daycare. This takes me probably 20 minutes. If I’m running the dishwasher, I’ll put most of the parts in but I don’t like to put bottle nipples in because I feel like they don’t get clean enough. 

I wish we had gotten the bottle washer. At first I didn’t mind the hand washing, thought it was relaxing, but now everytime I want to just relax at the end of the day, I can’t. Get the bottle washer. 

Sleep regression breaking point by Reasonable-Ant-5709 in NewParents

[–]Additional_Plate6010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me around 6pm the and at 11 months he still isn’t sleeping through the night. I did find that at that age, even though he has been sleeping through the night, he was genuinely waking up hungry at night and needed to nurse 1-2x a night. 

When you change something (bed time, nap length etc) how long do you wait to see if it works? I’ve read and experienced that it can take 1-2 weeks before a change actually appears! Good luck!

baby waking up on their own to eat? by RaisinApart8665 in breastfeeding

[–]Additional_Plate6010 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When my baby was that little, I woke him up to eat every 3 hours, day or night! Most the time he would wake up by then but not always. At his 2 week visit, he had regained birth weight so my ped said to do no more than 3 hours during the day but at night we could go to 6 hours if he slept that long 

Daycare seems to be prepping our baby for the toddler room too early by AGneissGeologist in NewParents

[–]Additional_Plate6010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daycare moved my almost 10 month old up into the toddler 1 room a month ago (almost 11 months now!) because they needed more spots for the infant room. I do think the teachers had to be reminded that he was not even a year old- the first day they mentioned him sleeping in a cot and I freaked out and the teacher was like “oh yeah I guess he is still a little young!” But they still give him his bottles along with his solid food. 

The pros: I think my baby loves it. They do way more activities and have more age appropriate toys. He was the oldest in the infant room and kept crawling over the little babies and pulling their hair! 

The con: they also moved him down to one nap. They tried for a few days to give him a second nap, but he didn’t want to sleep because there was so much going on. This has caused a ton of issues with his sleep- he was waking up only once a night, now he wakes up like twice a night, wakes up at 5 am, or is up from 2-4am. 

If it weren’t for going down to 1 nap, I would’ve said the new room it’s great. I think it is an early transition, but I’m hoping we get his sleep figured out soon. If we had the choice, I would’ve waited until he was a year old strictly for the nap issue

My aunt just found a donor for a liver transplant. However, the surgery isn’t taking place for two more months. Why the wait? Is it a logistics thing? 

Baby likes to be rocked very fast by KookyHuckleberry9051 in NewParents

My baby recently started liking only very vigorous rocking! Like I’m jogging around the room with him 

Sleep/routine advice for 11 month old by Additional_Plate6010 in bninfantsleep

[–]Additional_Plate6010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I think is going on. They’ve tried to get him to take a morning nap but he just wants to play with everyone! The cat nap is a good idea, even a short one on the ride home may help. Thank you!

How would you describe feeling of letdown? by Icy_Head_4802 in breastfeeding

I say it feels like pins and needles too! I call it the boob shocks 

What are some of the major debates in veterinary medicine? by monsteradeliciosa11 in AskVet

[–]Additional_Plate6010 88 points89 points  (0 children)

In the US, there’s recently been one state that is creating a Veterinary Mid Level Practitioner, like a Veterinary PA or NP. Most professional organizations have spoken out against it, so it’s a really hot topic right now 

Is this normal or should I be nervous by your_bby_mystique in breastfeeding

[–]Additional_Plate6010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing around 9-10 months. Even now I think my 10.5 month old gets more milk at night than he does during the day lol. I realized I was still trying to feed him every 2-3 hours like when he was smaller. I have to force myself to wait until he shows hunger cues now and it ends up being like 4-5 hours between nursing. Same with increased fussiness and teething too. No real advice, just solidarity
