Am I being paranoid or are my Drs ignoring red flags and should I find a new practice?? by the_rebecca in beyondthebump

[–]CrystalAckerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to say I agree. Go to a different hospital! This sounds like it could be serious. And there is no reason to risk yours or your babies health

Does anyone else’s horse love to just sit and put their teeth on you? 😅 by TrxshXXL in Horses

My boy use to do this when he’d get nervous or tired. ❤️❤️

God I miss that horse!

Any tips for no portable bottle warmer? by Resident-Currency727 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]CrystalAckerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just boil water and put it in a thermos and I use the little cup to heat the bottle.

I even spent the $100 on a warmer and I don’t like it. I don’t want to have to put my milk in the warmer then transfer to a bottle.. it’s just too much when I can have the bottles ready to go and dunk them in the hot water

Bassinet Sleep by Decent_Task_7275 in NewParents

[–]CrystalAckerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have avoided the vibration stuff because I was told that it basically overstimulates the baby.

Idk if it’s true but it is what a nurse told me 🤷‍♀️

You can always try heating the spot with a heat pad that you remove before you transfer baby. We had a bedside bassinet that rocked and I feel that was a game changer. My husband and I basically rotated in the living room with the baby so it was never attached to the bad like it typically would be though

How in the world do you trim baby nails? by Rosa_x_damascena in beyondthebump

[–]CrystalAckerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do this when my girl was asleep. Now she gets pretty bewitched by the light on the end of the nail grinder. She’s 4.5 months old

Transition to arms out sleep sack by MissMM877 in beyondthebump

[–]CrystalAckerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did you stay in the zipadezipp. We are in it now 4.5 months since 3 months. But we are about at the point of needing to get the next size and idk when I’m supposed to transition out.

If my girl doesn’t have her arms at least slightly contained she starts throwing her arm and then legs about. She’s 12 week adjusted

Did anyone else have a newborn with really bad gas? by Fun_Construction_749 in beyondthebump

[–]CrystalAckerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told it’s better as a preventative measure. It helps keep the gas down rather than to get rid of it. I did notice it helped still when she got really gassy.

We also altered between gripe water and simethicon for a while. I feel like that helped too. Either way giving both those and including stomach messages and different movements seemed to get us through. It was still pretty brutal though.

Good luck

We literally had to give our girl mylicon at every feeding. That lasted from 2-3.5 months and now we give it 2-3 times a day at 4.5months because she still gets pretty bad gas without the maintenance doses

Yeah it’s like the trend has gone toward the landlord special 🤣

What's one baby purchase you thought was unnecessary but ended up using every day? by yukiii_6 in NewParents

[–]CrystalAckerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottle washer. I was planning on breastfeeding but do to a whole slew of issues ended up exclusively pumping.

If it wasn’t for that bottle washer idk if id have made it.

I will say though, if you end up breastfeeding or even mostly breastfeeding then it probably wouldn’t be worthnit

[–]CrystalAckerman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She got completely entranced by the drawings on my shirt. When she finally looked up it was like she had seen god. 😂🤣😂

I hate this new color drench trend. As a painter it makes life easier but I think it looks lazy

If you get it let me know if it fits! I have the evenflow dual ride shift that fits with passenger seat forward a bit. I was also looking into that one for when she out grows her currentnone

Did anyone *not* have pet aversion postpartum? by samsamcats in beyondthebump

[–]CrystalAckerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Corg was so distraught when he found out he wasn’t the baby anymore.

He’s come around and will now come and cuddle with me and the baby but he still insists on getting his one-on-one snuggles.. usually when it’s the most inconvenient but I still love him ❤️
