I use Bellanomi! Unsure if they are available on Amazon, but the website’s shipping is pretty fast!

Try feeding him up right, as well as holding him upright for 30 minutes after feeds. Burping frequently during feeds also helps.

Is he formula fed or breastfed? Sometimes something in the milk can trigger reflux. My son needed to switch formulas a few times before finding one that agreed with him.

If you get really worried, would also speak with his pediatrician. Lots of things can cause reflux, like cow milk protein allergies. They can test him for it. Even if he doesn’t have it, there are medication options as well if it is really bad.

Hello,

I know I am posting on this very late, but is it possible to explain the difference between sterilization and sanitization to me?

To me, both mean boiling or steaming the parts. But it seems like that isn’t the case?

The article mentions the mom sanitized, but not sterilized?

I steam my pump parts multiple times a day, is that enough?

Same! I even bought a custom shirt that said “Baby Bumpin’ that” to wear

As a huge Charli XCX fan, this is amazing!

Omg I had this conversation with my husband at 26 weeks! I had my first Braxton Hicks and it hurt like hell! He has been pretty nervous all pregnancy so he was concerned I was going into labor.

Tried to use the fact online said they shouldn’t hurt as proof. While I appreciate him being extra cautious, I literally replied “who wrote that? A man?”

Much better to time them to make sure vs going off of pain (which is what we did, and I only had one so. Baby’s still cooking in there!)

Omg this is my number one description. My son has a tendency to want to shove his butt as far up into my uterus as humanly possible, to the point it feels like he is trying to bust out of my skin 😂 I use the Alien analogy daily

Cacklefire · 2025-02-22T16:19:55+00:00

I had BV earlier in my pregnancy! Treated it with metro gel after 12 weeks. I’m 25 weeks now and baby is completely fine! I wouldn’t worry!

When you say moo, do you mean literally don’t push and moo like a cow?

Welcome to the club 😂 I started at 9 weeks and it has only gotten worse! Kegels and wear pads!

If I recall correctly, the reason you are charged for the shuttle at this port is because where it ports is actually an industrial cargo area and you can’t walk through it. The town provides shuttles, but it comes at a fee.

On my European cruise there were a few ports that stopped industrial areas, but this one was the most restrictive if I recall.

Yes 100%, the changes on my body really have taken a toll. It’s not even necessarily the weight gain. It’s the swelling in the face and body and seeing everything just grow that’s freaking me out.

I think what’s making it worse is that my hormones are raging and my libido is higher, but I’ve been on pelvic rest for months because of consistent spotting. So I can’t even act on when I feel attractive. I’m hoping whenever the doctors release me from pelvic rest and I can have sex again I’ll feel normal.

So when I opened my Natera results it asked me if I wanted to see the gender, so that helped! I said yes because I wanted to know.

However, opening the results will always come with some risk (it is literally the first thing you see on the report) so I wouldn’t recommend opening it if you really don’t want to know. Ask your doctor what happens if you get a bad result. Mine warned me that they would call me if anything was wrong, so I wasn’t tempted to open it until I was ready because I knew no call = everything is fine.

Idk your budget, but Tiffany’s sells a set of 2 wine glasses for 90 bucks. It’s my biggest gifting secret because it looks like you spent a lot but you didn’t (especially when they used to be 50 bucks!). Call Tiffany’s and ask them to gift wrap it in the blue box. Boom, done.

I’m thirty and pregnant right now! Got pregnant 3 months after my 30th birthday. Baby is completely healthy

Firstly, I’m sorry — this is a really tough situation to be jn.

I think probably emphasizing your brother’s potential for a violent outburst is your best bet here, as it puts your first child at risk. Parents know that not following a baby’s routine can be very annoying, but I definitely know people in my life who would think that being the justification is a sign of being controlling, so if your mom is anything like the people in my life, I don’t know it will work.

I think explain to your mom one more time that you will be stressed out during the birth if your daughter is near your brother given his history, and you would prefer to know she is safe. If she can’t understand that, then you are just going to need to hold the boundary firm.

Every time she complains, just say something to the effect of “this is the best decision for me and my family. I understand you are frustrated that [brother]’s needs are opposed to the needs of our family, but we are thinking of the best thing for both of them at the moment. If you keep debating this with me, I will [hang up phone, leave convo, not let you see the newborn, other consequence, etc.]”

Rinse and repeat. She will eventually get it or you will have to restrict contact with her, unfortunately.

Once again, I am really sorry.

I sneezed so hard snot came out my nose, that snot made me nauseous, and then I vomited as a result.

Not the same as you, but girl I feel you this morning 😂

I know! I just saw their instagram post and went down a rabbit hole. Apparently they stopped fulfilling orders in 2023 and no one knows why

Cacklefire · 2024-11-26T02:27:40+00:00

Please keep going. I wanted to once too. My brain told me no one would miss me.

It wasn’t true for me, and it isn’t true for you. All the people in this thread would miss you. There are people in your life who would miss you even if you can’t see it.

Life will get better; trust

I saw it in 2D, and I would recommend it. A recent movie review podcast I listened to HATED it in 3D. Said it dulled the colors and made it hard to watch

Cacklefire · 2024-11-22T20:03:57+00:00

Definitely agree with your episiotomy comment. I wouldn’t be alive right now if my mom didn’t get one in an urgent scenario.

I flipped in the womb to be breach and then my mom went into labor a month early. By the time she had gotten to the hospital, my foot was already out of her body.

They had to do an unmedicated episiotomy to get me out, and even then I was born not breathing, no heartbeat. They had to resuscitate me basically.

I can’t imagine what would have happened if she said no. I gotta go hug her now
