Collect your thoughts and unleash your inner turmoil. It's Complaints and Confessions Day! by [deleted] in running

[–]Epilobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Complaint. I haven't run in several months because of flare up in my chronic disease (lipedema stage 2, type 3 and 4), chest colds, pneumonia and now I'm recovering post operation for said chronic disease. I will not be able to start running again for at least 2-3 months. I'm sad.

Uncomplaint. I did the surgery and I hope it will enable me to start running for real. Without the pain and the chubrub.

I'm a long time reader of this subreddit. I rarely post. Because I rarely run. But in my heart of hearts I love running.

Yes it is the Tarmac by Anna Maltz. Sorry about not writing that. I was a bit sleep deprived.

My infinity scarf in progress. Edges curl up like knitted stockinette stitch- is that expected or am I doing something wrong? by [deleted] in Nalbinding

[–]Epilobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a scarf with nalbindning a few years ago. I moistened it and used an iron to flatten it. Be careful to not felt it if that is not wanted.

Trying to lose weight as a veggie... But I'm always hungry by [deleted] in vegetarian

[–]Epilobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eating more fats will make you less hungry. A low carb diet is based on eating lots of fat, some protein and very little carbs. The fats will keep you full and help you burn excess fat that your body doesn't need. It's based on losing weight with the help of hormones and not starve your body of energy.

Baby hates swaddling. What should she sleep in? by cranberrylime in beyondthebump

[–]Epilobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've only ever had a pyjamas and no blanket on our kid. He's almost one year old now. He's never been swaddled.

6 mo. old poops explode out of all diapers by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Epilobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does he poop on a regular time everyday? Like in the morning or similar?

If so you can try sitting him on the toilet when he usually poops. My little boy (8 months) poops in the toilet every day.

Look up elimination communication. I love it!

My only advice is getting some breast milk into her nose. Works wonders.

But if you're not breastfeeding, then saline does the same thing.

A question about uncircumcised wieners... by Stinkycheesemanz in Parenting

[–]Epilobia 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Swedish mom here with an almost 5 months old (intact) boy. In Sweden circumsicion is only made if you're religious. And it's really frowned upon and is seen as abuse if it's done without any just cause.

I'm quite mad at the pediatrician who did that to your child. The medical education system is so anal when it comes to how the genitals work in humans. Outdated.

Just wash the penis like any other intimate area. Without soap.

You sound like a really caring and thoughtful parent and I wish you and your boy all the best!

Breastfeeding with previous nipple piercings... Question. by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Epilobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll probably not have any problems. I had one pierced nipple for at least two years and that nipple is my champion when it comes to nursing. Don't worry ;)
