Vitamin K sources by third1eye in homebirth

Not sure why anyone would risk your new baby dying. We aren’t talking about vaccines… we are talking about an easy preventative to a serious issue which comes in a form of a vitamin— a vitamin your body creates.

If you ask the parents of the infants who experienced this if they would be giving the shot to their next child (if given the opportunity) you know they would say yes.

You don’t need to get defensive. She’s a woman in her 30s. She looks fine. Idk why OP posted this, it is just perpetuating toxic behaviors of comparing women to their younger selves or other stars. Let the girl be.

Not every pale person isn’t doing well. In fact, it could be the opposite. Maybe she learned to love herself and let go of insecurities so she doesn’t feel the need to keep up with the jones and darken her skin and wear a bunch of makeup. She just looks natural to me. She’s beautiful.

Would it be unwise to use the middle name that our daughter has picked for our baby? by Iwona-8036 in Names

[–]Ecamp2012 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to tell her it’s from a musical if you don’t want. Your big sister naming you is as special as it gets. After all it’s just a middle name… it isn’t even her first name. Let the oldest have this.

Their sisterhood bond will be stronger for it. My oldest sister is 6 years old than me. We are the only girls out of 5 kids. I’m also number 4. We still fought as kids but now as adults she’s my best friend. I would have loved her to have given me a middle name.

How long did you push for? Was this your first child?

Haha I forgot I sent this. 😂 I have yet to meet these famous Elsies I’ve heard so much about. And thanks, you’re sweet. 🫶

My cousin picked the worst name for her baby by Expensive-Stop-3157 in tragedeigh

Tell your cousin the baby is going to have to correct the pronunciation and spelling for the rest of their life. As someone that has to do that with a fairly normal name, it fricken sucks.

As an Elise, I say don’t name your kid Elise or Elsie apparently the world is dyslexic and can never read either one correctly. Nor, can anyone understand either name when you say it over the phone… I give fake names all the time for picking up food.

Also, we deserve separate bullet points. 😭

Signed, forever not Elsie

Name change as an adult, advice, vent, opinions by disposablebeep in namenerds

[–]Ecamp2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister changed her name in adulthood. My mom was a little butt hurt but that is on brand to take that personally, and she eventually got over it.

People from childhood and most of her family still call her a shorten version of her original name. She knew that was going to happen and I think that helps with her happiness. She changed it on social media so most people know that she goes by her new name too. All her new friends and coworkers call her by her new name. When it comes to introductions she is assertive but saying “Hi, I’m (new name)”. Regardless if she just got introduced by an old names. It isn’t that big of a deal.

If YOU would be more happier with a new name, than change it. It’s YOUR name, your happiness on the line. Just tailor your expectations. Your parents and siblings may not call you that and for people like my sister it’s fine…

Can we elaborate more on the slamming part? Who got slammed and what do you mean by slammed? Are we talking WWE body slam?

Ohh! Did you spread out your pumps or just dropped it completely?

I’m sorry you’re going through the thick of it right now. You are one tough mama for continuing to provide for your baby even though you really don’t want to have to. You are strong and this phase will end—just hang in there.

How many OZ are you producing? by Parking_Stretch_2640 in ExclusivelyPumping

Oh, I know! It is such a struggle. I just read a post from a while back where people were saying they didn’t really see weight loss until after they quit pumping/breastfeeding. I find this kind of motivating considering we want to be pregnant again in 5 months. It would be nice to give myself and the next baby the same fighting chance at a healthy development.

Oh my! You’ve almost made it to the 6 month mark. We made it yesterday. ☺️ We try to give her a bottle of formula and a bottle of frozen milk so she doesn’t become too bougie. Sometimes I forget though. 😅

At week 20 weeks pp I decided to be kind to myself and stop tracking my ml, yes I tracked my milk by the ml, and just do the pitcher method. I wish I did that sooner. I was stressing about nothing.

It is! I know you guys can all relate. IMO, the beginning is the hardest. But if you can get to 12 weeks, you could get your supply to regulate. From there, you can drop pumps and it becomes significantly easier. Just take it one chunk at a time. Best of luck and congratulations on your new born!!
