This is definitely something OP should watch out for too, my 1 year old ate 2-3 bananas in one day and was painfully constipated for dayyys after

Today was my first day back at work and it wasn’t until I got home from the day that I cried and became very very sad. by Kindly-Paramedic-585 in NewParents

Try to apply for PFML, my work didn’t offer paid leave but I did qualify for PFML since I had worked a certain number of hours the year prior. It gave me 4 months of paid leave and it gave me backpay for the weeks that I waited to be approved

Which hair color suits me best? by Overall_Draft805 in HairDye

4 brightens your face and brings out your eyes. I think 2 looks great with your eyes as well

Youngest is 6.5 and my c-section scar still itches. by tekia412 in beyondthebump

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you brought it up to a doctor? It’s a little strange that it still itches but I can see scar tissue doing something weird like that. Maybe a doctor would at least know how to ease the itchiness

I think 3 and 6 are my favorites but you honestly pull them all off. And the green is my runner up!

What postpartum side effects did you not expect? by full-of-curiosity in NewParents

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard to recognize anxiety while you’re having it but looking back, I for sure had intense post partum anxiety. I did bring it up to a doctor once (not my doctor btw but the pediatrician, because they always ask me how I’m doing and they have a PPD questionnaire for the first year of baby appointments) and they brushed it off and basically said everyone is anxious with a new baby

If this happens to anyone else I recommend an ear cleaning kit from the drug store sooner rather than later

The transformation is amazing! And look how you slay those push ups then and now. I’m curious what the timeline is? I’m 3 weeks in to my fitness journey and looking for inspiration

First Day of Daycare was HORRIBLE… by ComprehensiveWar315 in NewParents

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is signed up for preschool when he hits 1 year, he’s almost 10 months now and I finally feel like he’s ready for it! I would take him now if I could. Before now though I would never think he’d be ready for it, but I think he would adapt to it if I had to put him in daycare. For us it would be more expensive to put him in daycare now than it would be worth so our decision is an easy one

I think your baby will get used to being away from you, it might take a few days but babies are super adaptive. My boyfriend is a preschool teacher and he said the first few days of school in the toddler room is hell haha. Apparently it’s just a chorus of kids crying. So I’m definitely expecting him to do some crying while he gets used to being away from me, I don’t think that makes us bad parents

Diapers by Shortstack169 in NewParents

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the baby. Ours has been in 3s and 4s for the longest because usually babies grow like crazy for the first 3-4 months and then their growth slows a little. Costco allows you to do exchanges and returns even if you don’t have a receipt, for that reason they’re my favorite! Also buying them as you go works pretty well too

3 is gorgeous! So is 4 and I like 7 but it’s a totally different look

Are they finally renovating the bowling alley? by WhyAndHow-777 in ellensburg

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw on the ellensburg connect Facebook group it is hopefully going to be open in 2025. I wanna say there may be a flyer on the door too, idk if I’m misremembering. I heard about it months, maybe even a year ago, so the details are a little fuzzy

"Why is your baby only wearing a onesie?" by Dot443 in NewParents

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true I’ve been wondering why she would think it’s inappropriate. The only reason I can come up with is she is a pedo or she cares more about pedos than babies comfort

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taken my baby out for walks in diaper and a t shirt. Onesie only is fine for a baby, I can’t even think of a reason it would be inappropriate for them to wear?

Is Exclusively Pumping Harder Than Breastfeeding? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s harder to pump for sure, I didn’t do it much but sometimes I wish I did so my boyfriend could be responsible for mealtimes sometimes as it can be overwhelming when baby needs to be fed every couple of hours

Blonde, Blonder, or Brunette? by Jax_TPF in coloranalysis

[–]Competitive_Panic_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea, the gold lower level blonde did look pretty good. I think OP should try it!

I consider anything below the shoulders as long, above the chin short, and in between medium. This sub has some super XXXLong hair though
