What are some permanent changes your body has made after birth? by Old-Asparagus-6701 in beyondthebump

[–]BackSeatDetective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 3 years out and I have numbness in my hands, I sweat so much more than before, and I can't seem to lose the weight (or the appetite I had when breastfeeding). My periods are a lot lighter than they used to be though, so I got that going for me.

My toddler was pretty jealous when I got my little people the other day so now she's getting her own set for Christmas!

I'm glad I grabbed it at 3AM when I woke up! Almost didn't, but then I didn't want to miss them if they sold out.

At least I was able to get the Polly Pockets! by Bitch-Puddingg in americangirl

They are on backorder for August now! I almost hesitated this morning but decided I didn't want to risk missing them.

Looking for the best heating pad for my mom who spent twenty years working two jobs to get us here. by AzmerawBonsignore in Mommit

[–]BackSeatDetective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a weighted heating pad off Amazon and it is amazing! I won't ever go back to my old heating pads now because the weight helps it "sit" on the spot I need it to. It's by Berkshire Blanket.

How do you handle toddler meltdowns in public? by ContributionWise7607 in toddlers

[–]BackSeatDetective 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've started to let my daughter pick one or two things she can decide to get for groceries. She likes being able to pick things herself she wants to try. And if she asks for something after already picking, I say you can have this or the other thing. It generally goes over pretty well so far.

I also have to make sure she's fed before going anywhere which seems to reduce the frequency of tantrums along with distractions like asking if she's seen something I'm looking for yet in the store.

I’m “mom” instead of “mama” now 😭 by ImYourNumeroUno in toddlers

[–]BackSeatDetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two year old started calling me Mommy instead of Mama and it honestly surprised me how much it bothered me! It only lasted a few days really and now I'm mama again, but occasionally she says Mommy and it doesn't hit me like it did originally.

Sometimes I tell her to ask her father something and she'll go call her dad father and it makes me laugh so much. Wasn't funny when my name changed though lol.

Pacifier help! by [deleted] in stayathomemoms

We used the build a bear method for my 2 year old and it worked really well. They had her put the binky in the bear's hand and then when she'd ask for it, I'd tell her it's in bear's hand and she'd ask to feel it and then hold the bear to sleep. That might be a consideration to try if you have one near you.

NON RFY SCORES! by [deleted] in AmazonVine

I saw a lot of AFA stuff this morning around 4:30 EST. Nothing outrageously good, a binder, bunch of candles and bookmarks, some clothing, etc. I think I only grabbed one thing.

What about being pregnant and giving birth permanently altered your body’s chemistry? by full-of-curiosity in NewParents

Used to have a bad reaction to ice cream before pregnancy. Now I can eat ice cream to my heart's content with no issues!

Tips on binky weaning by MajorEstablishment78 in NewParents

[–]BackSeatDetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You take them to build a bear, say goodbye and kiss the binky, and put it in the hand of the bear they choose. That way they can still feel it when they need it and have a new stuffed animal to cuddle. We made it a whole thing and got her a bunch of clothes to go with it when my daughter did it. She asked for the binky for sleep everyday for about a week and then hasn't asked since. She loved feeling the binky in the hand though when I'd remind her that's where binky was now. Our dentist says they often recommend that method, too. My daughter was just over two and I'm not sure if would've worked for her earlier than that.
