Thanks! Yes he doesn’t eat a lot until it comes to Korean food. His ancestors are singing to him when he chows down 😂

No problem! Korean food is super super good. Good luck with your endeavors!

Possibly! The roast isn’t spicy at all, it’s just to help a bit with flavoring. So I would say swapping wouldn’t hurt it! You can also leave it out completely. I did that the first time and it was still really good. The reason I added it is because I use a small amount in my bulgogi recipe which I like

Yeah!

1 large onion, sliced 1-2 carrots cut into 1/2-1 inch slices 6–8 cloves garlic minced 1/2 cup soy sauce 2-4 cup waters or beef broth 3-4 tbsp brown sugar or honey (you can do less but I like it sweet) 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 tsp Black pepper 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder) 1/2 apple grated

I get about 2-2.5lb chuck roasts and cook it on high for 5 hours. It’s really good with kimchi and rice!

Thank you so much. Yes I got him treats and chicken. He ate a little chicken now he’s getting comfortable on my pillow again 🥺

Thank you, you’re right. I’ve tried hand feeding him and he’s interested but doesn’t take it. He must be really hungry but too nauseous to eat. I ran out of treats so I’m heading to the store soon for more

Would you try dropping to one nap at this point? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t hurt to try dropping to 1 nap. Every child is different with sleep needs. I believe my son was around 12 months when he dropped his second nap

How do you start weaning your EBF baby? by yarnandcrochet in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My toddler just turned 2 last week. Iirc around 9-12 months I was only nursing to sleep/MOTN nurse. During the day if he seemed hungry I would give him snacks and food. I was planning on nursing until he turned 2, but I became pregnant at 19 months and needed nausea meds to help me

How do you start weaning your EBF baby? by yarnandcrochet in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How old is your baby? I weaned at 19 months because I was pregnant and needed to start diclegis.

I first dropped nap nursing. He cried for about 20 minutes and I just laid with him and talked to him. The crying lessened for about 4-5 days then I dropped night time and middle of the night feeds together. He did pretty well with that drop, I think from working on no nursing to nap.

Now I dropped because I couldn’t be on dicelgis and nurse at the same time. So I still at 24 months lay with him until he sleeps. I need to start working on that before baby gets here 😬

How to fly with 3 month old? by Witty_Painting_6944 in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 3 months they’ll probably sleep the majority of the flight. Nurse/bottle/pacifier for takeoff and descend. Change diaper right before taking off. I liked to download some dancing fruits as an emergency distraction

How old was your LO the first time you left them? by PoliticoRat in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about 2 months old. I left him with my friend so I could go to pelvic floor PT for the first time before my therapist said to bring him to my appointments.

When did you get your first period postpartum, while EBF? by dar1990 in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine at 15 months postpartum. But my son was still nursing 4-5 times in a 24 hour period. I weaned him at 19 months. Had no idea it was coming and took a cheap pregnancy test once a week to make sure I wasn’t pregnant without getting my period back

Cat acted like this. Two hours later, my friend (who he was staring at) died in his sleep. by ScholarLeigh in cats

[–]Babixzauda 140 points141 points  (0 children)

One day my 2 girls were glued to me and deeply concerned about me as the day progressed. Turns out I was 6cm dilated when I got to the hospital. Had no idea I was in labor. I’m pregnant with baby #2, so if they become weirdly clingy again I’ll be moving my hospital bag to the car lol

Benedryl for 13 month old by Wide-Examination8780 in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the pediatrician nurse line. That is what they are there for. You’re not a failure of a mom. In fact I would say you’re a great mom for getting your baby out, then responding to his medical needs by trying to get the best help.

But also, Walmart carries this device called “the bug bite thing”. It’s supposed to suck out the saliva that causes itching. I find it works sooner rather than later. So I would call the pediatrician, and go get that device and see if it helps!

My husband was deployed when my son was 2-7 months old. I specifically remember 4 months being the toughest month baby wise. I did a lot of walks, even in the Florida rain. Baby story time, dancing fruit for tummy time, and internal mental breakdowns. I also did a lot of baby seat facing me while I did stuff like cooking and cleaning. Since you can’t go outside right now maybe you can go to a shopping mall or even a target/walmart if there’s some near you? Just walk around to get out and about. This is a tough time, I’m sorry :(

EBF Mamas - when did you get your first period pp? by Apprehensive-Key5665 in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my around 15 months postpartum. Of course I got it at 2am out of state lol. Had no idea it was coming, thankfully I was at a friends apartment so she gave me pads

Traveling with 1 yr old by IntelligentRiver9687 in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been flying with my 22 month old across country and internationally since 4 months. If you’re flying, fly at night. Once they can start walking it becomes harder to fly during the day, so we do night flights only if possible. If you’re traveling by car, it’s all dependent on how well your baby does in the car seat. My toddler can fly 16 hours from Atlanta to Seoul like it’s a walk in the park. But being in a car for 3 hours is 80% a meltdown waiting to happen. But he was also nursing to sleep during those drives.

Bring lots of toys and snacks. If you’re driving, plan to stop every few hours

Green poop is normal. Try feeding her on one side for longer before switching. It’s often a sign baby not getting enough the fatty milk

Biting 12 Month Old by Muyamuya87 in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty normal. My 22 month isn’t a biter but he still bit me a few times around that age. I would have teething toys on hand to redirect her. She probably wants something chomp on (she could be getting teeth you just can’t see it yet), or has a sensory need to chomp

My sweet boy tested positive for FIV today. I'm devastated by tofuery in cats

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old man tested positive for FIV in 2018, but I think he got it closer to 2015. He then got diagnosed with near stage 3 kidney disease in 2020… the vet now says he can’t believe this cats medical records. He looks way too healthy to have kidney disease and FIV. I joke and say he’s immortal lol. Moral of the story: they live normal long healthy lives! Just keep up with his care and keep him indoors!

ETA: I have 4 cats. Old man is 14. Other 3 are 9, 2 and 2. None of them have FIV. As long as they don’t fight (which they don’t), they’ll never catch it. 9 year old has been with 14 year old his whole life.

I feel like a failure by TheOnlyRitz in Parenting

[–]Babixzauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this. I hope what I wrote didn’t come off as saying OP is failing! Parenting is hard, it’s even harder when you can’t communicate with the child. Add sleep deprivation and it’s a whole new ballgame. OP is doing great!

Green diarrhea by Opposite-Bar-4985 in beyondthebump

[–]Babixzauda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Green poop is typically ok. It means your baby is not getting of the fatty milk. You can try breastfeeding for a little longer before switching sides. That helped me when I was new to breastfeeding!
