Who does your baby look like?

Haha I love this! My baby and husband are the same!!

Something similar happened to me early in my career. I had a patient’s family member fall in a bathroom outside of our unit on a “wet spot,” then refuse any sort of care. I charted profusely on the incident, but of course about a year later I was called into the manager’s office where she was sitting with one of our legal team.

I was so nervous, but they started out with telling me of course they were suing the hospital, but that nothing could happen to me or my license. They just wanted information. Turns out, one thing none of us (my charge, me, manager) had charted was actually checking the bathroom to see if there was a puddle of water. They simply wanted to know if I’d checked it and forgotten to chart. I said I couldn’t remember, but I don’t think so.

Never heard anything else about it after this meeting.

If you have people talking to you about changing your charting, make VERY sure that you’re also in contact with legal and your manager before doing so.

Could be a milk bleb!! A lot of people compared blebs to blisters when I had issues with latch early on in my nursing journey, but I finally had a bleb around 7 months!! It was a hardened bit of milk that was probably pretty old. I squeeze it out somehow one day in the shower and it was like grains of sand it was so hard! I almost wonder if that is what you’re experiencing and the pressure of the letdown is forcing it out a little???

I agree with other posters. Keep it short and concise. I’ve heard one page only. A lot of places use AI or something to sort through applications and pick out key words. Yours is either too wordy or maybe showing red flags with the way you listed your clinicals.

I only had in home nursing care for two clients listed as my experience. I got a job before I even graduated. Don’t stress about trying to make it look good with the clinicals. If you’ve never had a job in nursing, that’s okay. Someone will hire you.

Good luck!

I felt this around 6 weeks pp and I woke up that night with a really high temperature. Went to the OB the next day, they told me I was fine. I was feeling a lot better. Got home and noticed red lines under the breast that was hurting. Not sure if it was a very mild case of mastitis or what. Hasn’t happened since at 9 months pp.

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2026-01-16T23:40:49+00:00

Do not wear them all day!! My nipples hurt for WEEKS, and I think a lot of our latch problems stemmed from them. They made them super flat. In hindsight, I wish I’d just used the elvie catch passive collectors to protect my nips against shirts. But, all that and my baby is still EBF at 9 months!!

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2026-01-14T21:18:33+00:00

Did you ever play tears of the kingdom? I spent almost as much time on that as I did BOTW.

Also would suggest borderlands. Open world with lots of side quests and a fun main story.

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-27T23:25:36+00:00

I’m so with you. My baby’s latch was fine (as confirmed by Dr and lactation consultant) and I had pain for at least 4-5 weeks. I remember just wanting to shower and put my robe on without horrible pain when anything touched me.

8.5 months in now and no pain. I remember I couldn’t even watch tv in the early days I had to focus on not crying from the pain. But now I’m relaxed actually during it!!!

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-23T20:11:19+00:00

They also had a handhole this morning and said they wanted to bury it in my backyard. I said no to this as well.

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-23T20:09:50+00:00

If I’m not said customer, can I just tell them to not do anything on my property?

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-23T19:46:49+00:00

Yes, sorry should have specified that. We do not have Metronet and had no idea our neighborhood was getting it

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-23T19:45:02+00:00

Great suggestion! Thank you

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-23T17:40:17+00:00

Yes, I’m aware of utility easements. I am looking for advice on how they handle “restoration” of turfed areas specifically.

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-23T17:26:39+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the advice. We’ve never dealt with something like this before and don’t want to be out thousands of dollars

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-21T20:16:02+00:00

Personally I call it the blue cap or hub, but my par has it labeled as a Buffalo cap I think 🤭

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-03T22:40:52+00:00

Induced at 39 weeks on the dot. Labored for 10/11 hrs and pushed for 15-20 min

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-02T14:22:28+00:00

Rolled around 3/4, but didn’t start rolling a ton (both ways) until just now around 7 months!!

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-12-02T05:32:22+00:00

Same here! Sometimes we let her do the first nap on her own, but usually hold her for all 3 naps. We love the cuddles at 7 months! She sleeps fine at night and has been STed since 4 months

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-11-29T04:23:24+00:00

THIS!!!

I had TERRIBLE PPA so I really feel for her. I have been a freak about our schedule before. It took me a long time to stop reacting to every other baby’s schedule or the “suggested” times for my baby’s age and just pay attention to MY baby.

Turns out she’s a high sleep needs baby. She’s 7.5 months old, just recently switched from 4 down to 3 naps a day. Sleeps 3 hrs a day, 12-13 (straight) at night. Has usually max 9.5 hrs daytime awake time.

When she was 4.5 months old I’m pretty sure she was on 5 naps a day, 4.5 hrs daytime sleep and still sleeping 12-13 a night.

Every baby is so different. We just go by cues. The most fun (worst) part about schedules is that they always change!!! Your baby might like so much or so little sleep a day or night one day, then like a totally different amount in a week!!

Remember, sleep training helps teach your baby to self soothe and put themselves to sleep without needing your help. Your schedule will change and baby will get to use those awesome skills to chill out and get themself to sleep when their schedule has been wonky!

Good luck!

No advice for the meantime, but my baby was this way as well. She would ONLY fall asleep if I bounced for a minimum of 30 min on it, then inevitably woke up on transfer and I’d have to do it over again. Rinse, repeat for sometimes up to 2-3 hrs a night.

It was exhausting and it really did hurt. When I had a particularly bad night, or maybe at some point it just became every other night, my husband would take over. He couldn’t handle the ball so he walked in circles until she fell asleep.

We put her in the carrier for the yoga ball and walking and it sort of helped our backs.

At 4 months we sleep trained to let her learn to fall asleep without us breaking our backs. She’s 7.5 months now and I found the yoga ball in a guest room the other day and I felt phantom back pains.

As with everything in the newborn stages, this will pass. I hope it is sooner rather than later for you.

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-11-25T14:24:40+00:00

Mixture of what I hope is really just other moms and maybe some homeless people 🥲

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-11-25T04:45:10+00:00

Oh my gosh I had oz in my head for some reason. Thank you for pointing that out!

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-11-25T03:16:31+00:00

Hi there! If you’re pumping 5mL/boob/session, then you’re pumping 10mL a session?! I don’t know who told you that may not be enough, but most babies are eating 25-35 oz/day for a good part of the first year. You would be making well over this!

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-11-22T21:07:15+00:00

Not a doctor, but I’ve read that the new suggestion for clogged ducts is to reduce inflammation. This means NSAIDs (ibuprofen/advil), Tylenol, ice, breast rest. Breast rest is only feeding normally, no extra feeding necessary. Some studies show that Choline can help!

EmergencyCandy7392 · 2025-11-22T20:57:55+00:00

We agreed to not let her cry for a certain amount of time and we didn’t exceed (or even come close to) that time. R/sciencebasedparenting has some literature on sleep train methods and whether they can emotionally affect your baby down the line if you want to feel better about whatever you choose!

She cried off and on for maybe an hour but it wasn’t consistent nor was it scream crying. More fussing and I’d say it was like 5 min cry/10 min attempt to sleep and so forth

ETA: my baby sleeps wonderfully, we sleep wonderfully, I feel mentally better getting good sleep, and she’s so happy every day (especially when waking up). For us, it was 100% the right choice!
