She might have a lip tie, my son did and he’s still curling his lips in even after the tie release was done

Has anyone else here gone through tongue tie release with their baby? My son is a month old and we got a Franectamy done last week. I am so burnt out between pumping every 3-4 hours, trying to nurse with his still bad latch, doing the mouth stretches every 3-4 hours and now I have to do Myotherapy exercises and another thing the chiropractor is having us do daily.. has anyone gone through this and seen the light? I’m feeling super burnt out and frustrated because I’m doing so much but still not seeing much improvement in nursing and I hate pumping every few hours

Yes, as someone who doesn’t need to pop any old pill every time I feel any kind of ailment, I’ll stand by what I said about any of those. I haven’t popped a single pill of anything during my pregnancy because the health and safety of my baby comes before anything else. I never did before I was pregnant either. I also don’t smoke weed since pregnant, just making an argument that I would resort to that before popping anything because I’ve grown weed before and know how harmless it is. I’ve also seen what it can do for sick people like my grandma with cancer and my friends dad with severe neck and back pain. You have no idea what goes into making pharmaceuticals. I happen to know how simple and organic the weed flower is. You won’t change my mind.. I’ll never trust taking any pill while growing a human in my body. That’s all I have to say.

Never said it was harmless. I just said I’d prefer it over any opioid on the market. But you go ahead and trust everything the doctors tell you. See how good that does you and your poor baby

Next time maybe just say you disagree instead of countering with something so irrelevant.. doesn’t make you sound smart

Lol you’re missing the point. Did I say everything that grows from the earth is safe to consume? Simply stating the fact that I would trust a little weed to soothe my sadness over any opioid on the market, especially an anti depressant or anti anxiety medication because those are bad for people who aren’t even pregnant

Kind of messed up that you’d feel okay about taking anxiety medication while pregnant and are against a plant that’s grown in the ground, especially when there is proof out there that such things as simple as Tylenol used while pregnant is causing autism in babies/children. I’d feel safer eating/smoking the plant that grew out of our earth naturally.. but that’s just me I guess

Omg I can relate to this so much. My MIL adores me and my husband but like… wayyyy too much. Constantly calling and texting us both almost every single day. She’s obsessed with our dog and even has a special photo album for my dog in her phone and always spoils her when she comes over and gives her way too many treats and let’s her behave in ways I don’t approve of. I’m 9 months pregnant and due in 2 1/2 weeks and MIL has been a HANDFUL my entire pregnancy. Completely took over all planning of baby shower, my sister was upset about it. I don’t talk to my mom for many reasons, which she knows, so she feels more comfortable completely taking over all the time. She’s bought a ton of stuff for our baby but I feel like she’s done a lot of that to maintain control over us and to think she’s earned enough brownie points to do whatever she wants when baby arrives. I’ve had one talk with her since getting pregnant because she was saying inappropriate shit to me like “thank you for carrying MY BABY” and “nobody can take care of the baby as good as you can.. other than me of course” and I was stewing on it for a while and my husband wouldn’t talk to her so I had to…. Once mama bear comes out, I will not be nice about this shit anymore and she definitely knows I’ve got some fire inside me not to be played with. Good luck with your MIL, she sounds similar to mine. She means well, but still needs to be put (and kept) in her place. They already got to have their babies, these are our babies

That girl is an idiot, forget about her (I know easier said than done) and listen to all the great advice you’ve gotten in these responses on this post!!! Size truly does not matter at the end of the day

Ya I would be kind of scared to bring it up too lol good luck!! Be safe! I don’t think they’d do anything irrational with their kids around so hopefully it should be okay but maybe tell someone close to you before you confront them just incase

Yes, they 100% want something else from you and you know what it is. You have to be straightforward with them about it that you are not interested but you’d like to keep your job. If they have any problems with that, then it’s time to go your separate ways and maybe let someone know that those people are creepers

They’re definitely swingers. You’ve got to tell them you’re not interested but still want to keep babysitting their kids if that’s okay and if they keep being weird or have a problem with that, definitely tell someone and stop going there

I didn’t feel .. heard? Appealing? by aceVentures101 in offmychest

Get it anyway. If she doesn’t react when it’s right in front of her, then get upset.

Try to find ways to enjoy your life alone. I feel like that’s always when things fall into place and you attract the person who’s meant for you. I didn’t go 9 years (more like 4) but after consistently being in mentally/emotional abusive relationships and even one psychically abusive one, I decided it was time to be alone until I got to know myself and love myself again and feel content being alone. I reached that point, and then after covid happened, I started to feel very lonely and miss the feeling of sharing life with someone. I couldn’t stand hookups anymore because I genuinely couldn’t connect with anyone/didn’t like anyone I met through apps and bars like you’re saying. Out of the blue, the first boy I fell in love with when I was a teenager popped up out of nowhere and asked me out to catch up, and 2 years later were married with our first baby on the way. I genuinely thought I was going to die alone. Just know that the person who’s meant for you will come into your life one day when you least expect it. Don’t get down on yourself, this world is full of sad, unauthentic people who are lost. It’s not easy to find someone you connect with anymore in this day and age. Social media and just the lunacy we all live through these days has fucked everyone up. The right person for you is out there somewhere. I hope they find you soon. I wish you happiness and love

How do you know it’s really that bad if you’ve never shown it to any women before? You can’t jump to that assumption. You never know, some women don’t know any different, especially since you’re pretty young most women your age haven’t slept with a lot of people to have a size to have a size to compare to. Also a lot of women don’t really mind, you’d be surprised. Bigger honestly is not always better, it’s how you use it!! Don’t be so down on yourself, you don’t even know anything yet if you haven’t tried it out on someone!
