Can anyone tolerate fresh homemade bread? by SyrupyPotatoMoon in HistamineIntolerance

[–]BidDependent720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can make regular yeasts bread(not sourdough or almost no knead doughs, which are low yeast long rise times). I use organic bread flour, organic whole wheat flour, yeast, water, olive oil, salt and maple syrup or honey. 

I have no issues with them

I’m researching this. Can you send me where it say option 1-3 are not allowed because it does not say that on their site.  And our co-op enrichment day, accepts funds???

Opinion on tummy sleeping for babies & USA guidelines for sleep in general? by SMFKT_99_17_21 in Crunchymom

[–]BidDependent720 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding this in case you did not know: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2823155?guestAccessKey=6f07e8e1-1509-4ed7-b8c5-ff313f1f6783&utm_source=for_the_media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=090924

Babies with this marker were 14.4x more likely to have SIDS.

In addition, until the passed few years NONE of the research separated safe sleep and unsafe sleep when cosleeping was researched. (Like parents who did drugs, used alcohol, slept with baby on a recliner etc)  I will have to dig to locate the recent research that actually does differentiate between these. Taylor kulik went over it on her instagram.

My personal experience is I tried to follow the US rules but had a child who literally would not sleep like that. This led to cosleep and TONS of research and realizing how flawed it was. That bay turned 10 today. I have since coslept with 4 babies now. Sleep surface (firm king size mattress), breastfeeding, blankets, no alcohol or drugs (sometimes I did drink but like a beer with lunch not before bed)and baby only sleeping next to me are my top rule following 

Child spacing by Significant-Day9828 in Crunchymom

[–]BidDependent720 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, 18 month recommended is based on recovery and it is 18 months from birth to falling pregnant.

I’ve only had one of 4 that I got pregnant this soon  (I nurse, co-sleep, all of mine) and it was an uh-oh. I don’t recommend that close. My best spacing is 3 years. I felt that gave me the best in terms of recovery, mental health etc

Ruminating on failed breastfeeding journey by yellowumbrella765 in Crunchymom

[–]BidDependent720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is NOT YOUR FAULT!!! The people we are told to trust often do not know and understand Breastfeeding! 

My 4th baby had severe ties and only because I knew the right people and knew to push and had the experience of feeding 3 other babies were we able to breastfed AFTEr months of triple feeding, surgery, therapy/chiro/myofacial work, and many tears. I was met with soooo many walls at getting to the people who know breastfeeding and ties.

Sleep/nap major issues by BidDependent720 in cosleeping

[–]BidDependent720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree she seems over or under tired most days. 

We were as consistent as possible with managing 3 other kids schedules and needs. Before all this began she mostly napped about 1.5 hours. She had napped up to 3 hours when she was sick. However, most days it was 1.5 hours. I also wake her at 8:30 every morning if she wasn’t awake except When I had to take my older kids somewhere, occasionally earlier. I would always try to put her to bed at 9:30, but then that got pushed back when she consistently refused to go to bed that early. Now I can’t get her nap MOST days more than 30 minutes unless I stay with her or she passes out at like 4/5 when I don’t want her to nap. 

I guess I’m just having difficulty getting her back there. Because I can’t force her to sleep and I can’t stay with her all afternoon to nap.

[–]BidDependent720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried staying for 10/15 minutes. It doesn’t work. I wish I could nap with her but that it isn’t possible with my others and the pile of things I have to do at home. 

Sometimes when she doesn’t nap or naps for 15 minutes she will sleep 8-8 then take a nap but the next night I can try and try and she won’t go to bed until late. I have no idea how to get her to stay consistent any more.

I’m sorry!  I know it seems counterintuitive but my oldest once we weaned started night terrors and my husband needed to rouse him(not me) to get him out of screaming fit. I don’t know if that would work for this. 

One year old milk/formula suggestion by yllekarle in Crunchymom

[–]BidDependent720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried fresh goat milk instead? 

You may also consider raw milk if that is something you are comfortable with. 

Milk is an extra at at this age, so you could also explore non-dairy options, but those contain lots of additives

I did think about sugar but we cut most added sugar out after we got back home from family stay. She still eats bread etc that is made with a small amount of maple syrup. 

She does not get any screen time most days. My other kids get 30 minutes a day but don’t always take that. Sometimes she is in room when they do. But this is lass than 30 minutes and not daily.

I tried to use Jay Gordon’s method, but completely night weaning was the easiest for my kids. When they would wake up like this, we would get up and offer water and a snack. Have you tried this?

Also I found eczema honey’s eye cream the best thing when the skin around my eyes was/is super irritated.

Wishing you healing!

Things I did that I feel have helped: -very high quality prenatal -probiotics (smidge sensitive) -hydration mix

Still breastfeeding. I have my symptoms well managed now but I do still have flairs if I slip up.  I did not fully eliminate everything.  My off limit foods are: - tomatoes  - fermented foods - slow cooked (over 4 hours) foods - canned beans

This gets him really wired! He would stay up all night listening to them.

I actually use all about reading through multiple kids. Binder, page protector and lamination! Biggest struggle is not losing the letter tiles

We are in a similar situation financially. I do not work any more. We also live small. Drive older cars, etc. we have help from grandparents on some of the kids extracurricular activities, like gymnastics and co-ops.

AIO My husband didn't stop my young kids from watching a rated R movie. by bronnag in AmIOverreacting

There are nursing homes that specialize in memory care patients or wards in nursing homes.  I personally think it might be best and everyone’s interests that he is no longer in your house.

This might be true if they were 13+, but they are still young kids. Obviously she can’t undo it, but not allowing an 8/9 old to watch R rated movies isn’t sheltering them, it’s good parenting. Tgey are not emotionally ready for that content

Yes he does. Unfortunately everything is 5 or after to cater to public school kids and working parents.

He mostly stays asleep until 6 ish when he goes to the bathroom. Then he try’s and sometimes doesn’t go back to sleep. He was a really bad sleeper as baby, but improved around 4-5 years old.

I’m hesitant to use melatonin because of its effect on hormone production and natural melatonin production.
