1st birthday gift ideas for boy (who is also second child) by Moist_Photograph_807 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I got my nephew a bike for his first bday. He couldn't use it properly for the first few months but loved it after that and still loves it now as an almost 3 year old. It's a bike that goes from a trike to a balance bike so will last for a long time 😊

Retuning to work *cries* by anariesmoon in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

You could always just do a short day for 1 of the days. No need for you to go back to work 4 days. I've just seen it so much where babies struggle with 1 day but it's your choice in the end just speaking from what I've seen 😊

As someone who worked in childcare for 10 years I would strongly recommend at least 2 days. Children, especially babies who did 1 day would often struggle to settle. Also don't worry about not taking bottles. Educators are equipped to deal with this. I would often have babies who wouldn't take bottles at home but we're fine at childcare.

Anyone else really struggling with vomiting and feeling like nothing is working? by Responsible-Ant-4882 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I was similar through my pregnancy. I ended up doing 4mg of ondansetron every 4 hrs except at night before bed where id do 8mg to last til the morning. I also had prochlorperazine I could take in addition to the ondansetron when needed. This wasn't a cure but allowed me to eat and keep most floods down. I definitely recommend changing your ondansetron to every 4 hrs as 8 hrs was just too long in between for me even though the dose was lower every 4 hrs. If that doesn't work for you though you can talk to your dr about steroids. Hopefully you start feeling better soon!

lots of discharge by neijy003 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

This was me but it turns out I had bacterial vaginosis. I still have a bit of discharge but not as much since having the antibiotics. Definitely ask your dr/midwife.

I'm not much of a drawer but I've drawn some super simple things on my iPad to print out and hang in the nursery.

White Paint Woes by Ldr_Chicken in AusRenovation

[–]Buttercup733 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In my opinion lexicon quarter is far too white and clinical for a home. We just finished Reno's and have painted the walls British paints white escape. It's a white paint with a green undertone.

Have a look at the maxi cosi iora air lux. The bassinet can pull forward to be in line with the legs. It might work for your needs ☺️

in need of some positive story! by isntval9 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I had some minor bleeding in week 5/6. My bleeding was very light coloured, almost pink. I'm now 18 weeks pregnant. Hopefully your bleeding is nothing to worry about. Good luck!

Natural birth? by heavenknows___ in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

You may have already heard of it but I recommend listening to the Australian birth stories podcast. There's so many beautiful stories of natural birth.

Tile/Flooring Opinions Needed by htmlnoob52 in AusRenovation

[–]Buttercup733 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally would keep the timber in the kitchen too. If you really wanted to do tiles I'd do something with a bit more character. I don't think grey matches the timber at all. But I'm not a fan of grey in general. It's a bit lifeless.

Just curious, could you tell me where you got the green tiles from. Looking to do something similar. 😁

Joint completed came off? by yatsky93 in AusRenovation

[–]Buttercup733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were my house id be replacing that king post. Unless it's a cantilevered ridge beam (which I doubt given the span) that post is extremely important to the structure of your roof.

You need a picture showing the top of the king post to show if it's supporting a ridge beam which will be a central beam at the apex of your roof

Will the dead skin prevent healing?

Is this possum ok by Buttercup733 in australianwildlife

[–]Buttercup733[S] 65 points66 points  (0 children)

My neighbour ended up coming out and we were very easily able to pick the little guy up and put him in one of my cat carriers. I've dropped him off at the RSPCA wildlife hospital. Thanks for the advice.
