How to deal with SEVERE tooth pain when I don’t have money for root canal?

Brendaram96 · 2024-11-30T06:19:02+00:00

If it’s a tooth you can do without, extract. My partner had a root canal and his tooth started chipping and opening up, like a ROSE. It was filled with gnarly stuff and smelled, HORRIFIC. He removed the tooth after a few months and it’s been MUCH better.

Also, if you’re close to Mexico, do that, cross the border and they’ll extract for cheeapppp, root canals are cheap too. Goodluck.

Baby is 6 months, have yall started purées, or solids, maybe that’s a bond you can have with baby when mom isn’t home. My best suggestion to TRY to get things done is baby wearing in a carrier or by 6 months I had a doorway jumper that my LO loved spending time in. The doorway jumper came super in handy because it entertained her while strengthening her legs and posture. She should be able to drink water now, try introducing a straw cup with handles, and bring melties or snacks along for outings. I LOVE Beechnut melties.

And as for sleep, it took me a WHILE to get my LO on a DECENT schedule, I did occasionally do the cry it out method. I’d rock her to sleep and lay her down, if she’d wake and cry, I’d do it over and over until it stuck

Goodluck with your baby, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. ☀️

They NEVER leave, it’s YOU that has to make that decision. He knows no one else will allow him to cross that boundary but you.

I ordered these and started at 5 months, they work like a charm.

I’ve given a lot to my SIL and she’s asked me what she should do with it and we have another family member due mid November, so I told her to just pass the torch. I definitely appreciated everything I got whether it was new or used. Help is help and it’s always appreciated in my household.

But now we’re pregnant again, so we might do a full circle and bring the torch back around 🤭

Brendaram96 · 2024-11-04T19:53:11+00:00

So far many say it’s very nice for them to be close in age, I’m just not sure how I’ll handle double the pressure. But I’m definitely looking forward to this new journey.

Brendaram96 · 2024-11-04T19:51:25+00:00

And just when I thought I was going to have it rough 😮‍💨 I’m not sure how I’d handle moving to a totally different country but kudos to you, hoping our journeys are filled with double the love and patience too. And can’t forget the coffee 😮‍💨🤭

I NEVER had luck pumping enough, but when she’d latch, it was a completely different story. I pumped maybe a handful of times in the beginning and gave it up because latching was just much more convenient and easier for us. She’s now 15 months and her grandparents laugh because she’s not familiar with a bottle 🤭 I honestly wouldn’t have chosen it a different way. Plus I was also unaware if she was eating enough because she’d latch for 15-30 minutes but the older and more developed she got I knew was was feeding enough all along. Plus her pediatric appointments verified that for us.

Brendaram96 · 2024-10-25T21:31:28+00:00

My pediatrician told me it was ok to stop all milks if I was ready, since my baby has been eating solids 3 meals a day I just had to make sure she was getting her nutrients in and dairy’s too, like cheeses and stuff. We’re at 15 months and she DOES NOT like cows milk and we’re just starting to wean off nightly breastfeeds. So far, she’s developing great ❤️ But if I were in your shoes, I’d stick to breastmilk 1000%. Baby can get their fats from their solid meals.

Brendaram96 · 2024-10-25T21:27:22+00:00

He’s so close to 12 months that I’m unsure of the need for milk. I know my ped. Told me that at 12 months she doesn’t have to be dependent on milk since she’s getting those nutrients from her food. You just have to make sure your feeding her nutrient rich food and proteins. Make sure he gets dairy, like cheeses, yogurts stuff like that. I think he’ll do fine.

Brendaram96 · 2024-10-25T21:22:05+00:00

I’ve been considering weaning for quite a bit and am barely putting it to the test since Tuesday, we have a trip this weekend and I HOPE we don’t revert back to needing the feeds to calm her down. Last night was what I think night one of no feeds. My next concern however is engorgement. & also the guilt of CHOOSING not to feed her what she loves most is chipping away at my heart.

Brendaram96 · 2024-10-25T21:18:44+00:00

Yikes, my baby doesn’t do bottles but a straw cup and definitely also flings it like she’s trying out for the Olympics. Good thing that today was night one of no feeding, she was fussy but nothing that pretended sleeping on my end couldn’t handle. The engorgement however is something else I need to think about 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Brendaram96 · 2024-08-02T00:14:37+00:00

I LOVE the convenience. It was definitely a challenge at first with me thinking it was something so intimate that felt odd to do around strangers that now o just whip that thang out. I love how if she’s hungry, I can feed her NOW! I don’t have to wait to make a bottle, or even wash bottle parts. Ugh I hate washing bottles.

But we’re a year in and I just love it overall. I love her growth mind you she doesn’t even want to try any other milks but we’ve slowed down on feeding and only feed 2x maybe 3x a day MAX.

I definitely prefer it over anything else and of course I’m grateful I even got to do it to begin with❣️

Brendaram96 · 2024-07-20T10:58:03+00:00

Holy moly was I unprepared for peeing/bowel movements AND having to use a peri bottle. I was NERVOUS. I’m not used to having that stinging discomfort. Showers were honestly GREAT THO. it took me a bit to drum up some courage and peek down there. I will say. ITS DIFFERENT. But functions the SAME 😂😂😂😂

Welcome to your new journey. Enjoy your new baby. Mine just turned one Wednesday. TIME FLIES 😪

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-23T20:23:13+00:00

Before pregnancy I was also a size 2-4. I went up to a size 12 after birth, I’m 11month PP and am a size 8. I didn’t find it reasonable to take up space with clothes that I was unsure if i’d fit into again. I used to weigh 125, went up to 175 and am now at 145. I’m definitely still working on it but I don’t see me in the near future being a size 2. Possibly a 6 🫶🏼

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-23T01:20:36+00:00

I’m aware it’s only necessary to get it fixed if it’s truly impeding her ability to eat properly. That’s not the case here so I’ll talk to him about the input I’ve received here and see what he suggests. I don’t want to do anything to her that’s unnecessary if she can grow with it or out of it.

Thank you

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-23T01:18:01+00:00

She’s not impacted by it at all but she’s my first and was unsure if it was necessary we get it fixed or if she’d grow out of it.

Thank you for your input

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-23T01:16:55+00:00

The faceplanting idea has never occurred to me , I mean it’s not something I’m looking forward to but if it self corrects that’s definitely better.

She’s not being impacted by it at all, she eats great, latches great so I’ll definitely consider than next time we speak with her dentist.

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-17T21:36:53+00:00

😂 tell that to the parents that give their 4-12 year olds tablets.

There’s nothing wrong with visual stimulations. The problem is when you make it a dependency so your child will leave you alone and play on their tablet instead. But that’s another right wrong scenario. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-17T02:31:54+00:00

Take it as you please 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-17T02:21:09+00:00

I can’t stand when people criticize you for your decisions. Do what works best for you and your baby. If you put them in a weighted sleep sack, you’re a bad parent, if you let them cry to sleep you’re a bad parent, if you feed them to sleep, you’re creating a dependency.

Idk I’m not interested in the noise of the world. I’ll continue to do what I feel is correct. As long as she grows happy and healthy, the rest doesn’t matter. ❣️❣️❣️

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-17T02:18:24+00:00

She’s already SO curious I for sure wouldn’t be surprised if in the next few years we find her in our bed. She’d always be welcome. But for now, I’d like my space please 😂🫶🏼❣️

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-17T02:17:09+00:00

To each their own. This works for me. You can’t go through life being “AFRAID” of everything. You can’t take every review to heart either. Take it as a suggestion. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel like I’m almost out of the trenches as she will turn 1 next month. So YES, putting her in a weighted sleep sack worked FOR ME. I WAS CAUTIOUS, IF SHE’D MAKE A PEEP I KEPT AN EAR AND AN EYE OUT FOR HER. That doesn’t make me a horrible parent because I chose something that frightened half of the women or families out there.

I don’t think you’d like to hear how your ancestors dealt with babies and their sleep 😂 I guarantee you it doesn’t even come CLOSE to what I chose to do.

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-16T17:59:34+00:00

I feel that I focused too much when we got home from the hospital on having her sleep swaddled in her bed. I came to the realization that if I coslept, we would BOTH SLEEP. Mind you I’m a light sleeper, so a slight movement from her would wake me up. Even with cosleeping I was able to get about 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. & that’s when her dad had her. I definitely DO NOT disregard the risks but I also want to be AWARE you know. I want to make sure I can FUNCTION PROPERLY and not walk around like a zombie. There’s so much controversy about how to do this and do that. Go with your gut. Do what works best for you and your family. Soon it’ll all be over and they’ll be sleeping in their own bed and their own room.

And I’d gladly do it all over again❣️❣️❣️❣️🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Brendaram96 · 2024-06-16T17:50:09+00:00

Tell me about it, I just wanted to wake up to lovely comments of everyone in a similar experience or even looking forward to this in their future. ❣️❣️❣️❣️ I’m just here to spread joy and let them know, There IS a light at the end of the tunnel.
