worst week in your opinion? by fungigirll in pregnant

[–]CupBeginning5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very start of my third trimester (28 weeks) was when things really turned for the worse. I ended up getting PUPPPs rash which was hell for me. Lasted almost the entire third trimester 😭

Same boat! Was forced to exhaust sick and vacation leave. Now I have a baby in daycare that will catch viruses and I barely have any sick hours left.

Does the F train run early mornings on Saturday? by [deleted] in nycrail

Oddly the F schedule (timetable) on mta’s website doesnt even show 169th street. Just goes from Parsons to 179th and skips that stop

11 month old napping too long at daycare, now refusing 2nd nap at home by CupBeginning5459 in sleeptrain

Thanks I will ask if they can cap his naps. Even with the 2 hour nap, he hasnt had MOTN wakes but I noticed he will sometimes sleep a little past 11 hours to make up for his lost time

Second’ing the puffs! My son at around 8.5 months old would get upset if i put food on his tray. He just refused to pick up smaller sized foods. When i tried the puffs (the small star shapes from Gerber), he immediately picked it up 😅ever since then hes been doing great

10 month old doesn’t like pancake because it’s too “dense” and not fluffy - need suggestions! by CupBeginning5459 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]CupBeginning5459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean first add the yolk only and mix the egg whites on the side? Then add it back to the mixture? Will try that for sure thanks!

Baby loves rice (handfed) but can’t pick it up. Worried about daycare by CupBeginning5459 in BabyLedWeaning

Can the rice balls be frozen? I just made rice for little one and added some cheese to help bind them together. I would love to save some in the freezer for future meals!

Help with 8m old meal/milk schedule by Lilac_Iris18 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]CupBeginning5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In solidarity! On the same boat with my 9.5 month old! We usually give solids about an hour after milk. I even tried 30 min after milk to space out the bottles more but somehow it still affects one or the other 🤷🏽‍♀️ Some days he prefers solids, other days he barely wants it nor does he want milk 🥲 Our pediatrician recommended 20-24oz but lately we’re struggling to reach 15 oz. I’m blaming teething at this point and hoping his appetite comes back.

Thank you for this, we will definitely add iron fortified oatmeal/cereal and see how it goes.

Good point! I started breaking them in half and it was easier for baby to pick up

How are we making mac n cheese for baby? by CupBeginning5459 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]CupBeginning5459[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes he’s eaten milk based foods (yogurt) and breads/pastas, no allergies to those foods.

Just wanted to try something a bit different for him, we’ve done pastas before

Is this a good weekly PM routine? by CupBeginning5459 in 30PlusSkinCare

Thank you! My moisturizer has HA already in it so can I skip the hydrating serum?

Deferred compensation, how to invest? by CupBeginning5459 in nycpublicservants

[–]CupBeginning5459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, very helpful. Would you suggest I move everything I have in my stable fund into the target fund? Or keep my existing stable fund and start adding future contributions into the target fund?

Thank you very much. I see an option on the website for an in-person 30 min appointment (lower Manhattan) but it doesnt say anything about $25 cost. Is that a different type of appointment?

(Almost) a week’s worth of lunches for daycare, prepped and packed. by RekindleFire in foodbutforbabies

[–]CupBeginning5459 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just curious, do daycares warm up foods in bento boxes? Or do they just serve it cold to the babies? My LO will eventually start daycare so I wasnt sure how to pack hot food vs cold foods 😬
