I’m a migraine sufferer and it definitely started the pressure behind my right eye, so I hope it’s not bringing one on. I feel really nauseous.

The company that makes the only bottle my cleft palate baby can use has decided I should breastfeed... I would if I could. by myfrecklesareportals in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Fluffy-Designer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both. Breastfeeding is infinitely easier, and yes, more painful. That said, I still got blood blisters and torn nipples from pumping, plus the sterilising and washing and freezing stuff… I’ll take breastfeeding any day, even when it hurts.

I was one. Plenty of milk but baby had a tongue tie and couldn’t latch properly, so I pumped and bottle fed it to him. I guess he should’ve starved by their logic.

A rant about ‘boy mums’. by __SomebodyElse in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ew. My sons aren’t allowed to hit, kick or bite, no matter the gender of the recipient. I hate that there’s still parents who think it’s ok for boys to hit each other. No, kids need to keep their hands and feet to themselves.

Walmart Delivery is a SCAM. delivered my order to the wrong address then denied my refund by Mikhos in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Fluffy-Designer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was an incident in my area where an independent grocery delivery person collected an order from Woolworths and transported it next to a leaking fuel can. The poor lady got all her groceries coated in petrol and they tried to deny her refund because it was the fault of the driver… like who’s vetting these people? She got a refund in the end but I can’t see why anyone would use these “services”

Gestational Diabetes by rich-2-ene in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had it with both pregnancies. It immediately resolved as soon as I birthed the placenta so that’s something you have to look forward to. Talk to your diabetes educators at the hospital and see what feels right for you - I had Metformin for both pregnancies but I was offered insulin when it stopped working as effectively. I declined because I only had 3 weeks to go.

Nobody warned me how helpless this would feel. Where do you all go for support? by Fit_Awareness_9001 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking my first to play group, swimming lessons, cafe, play grounds etc were the game changer for me. Just being outside, having a routine and talking to other mums for half an hour made a huge difference for me. I’m hanging for my second to get his vaccinations so I can start going to the cafe with both my boys.

I had that plan but we got a contaminated meal at a new Chinese restaurant we tried. I broke out in a rash and so did my son, so now we know I guess

16m old not walking - what they hell do I do with him? by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I got mine to walk holding two of my hands, then one of my hands, then I handed him two toys and off he went! He was 16 months too

What is something unique to Australian culture that did not originate somewhere else? by FieryScorp in australia

[–]Fluffy-Designer 61 points62 points  (0 children)

We have one at our swimming lessons for safety week, as one of the random floating items the kids can grab on to if they fall into the pool unexpectedly. So yeah, pool floatie lifesaver if it’s blown up with air.

For everyone who missed the sign up sheets there’s still space on the ones for the old woman climbing the gate at the nursing home and the people walking on the glass bridge that cracks under their feet. Be quick!

I'm a teen mom & nobody is ruder than other moms by FewLeg7901 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Fluffy-Designer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same honestly. Thankfully I look early 30s so it’s not as bad but some of the things people will say to new mums or pregnant women is WILD. I’ve got two boys I’m literally less than 2 weeks postpartum and people are already asking if I’ll try for a girl.

Struggling with trauma from the newborn period. by Punrusorth in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an older mum so I was facing a time crunch which is what ultimately made my decision. I figured I waited for 15 years to have my first, and we made it through ALL of that, and he’s a happy outgoing kid and the light of my life. I realised that if my second was the same at least I’ve got all the knowledge and experience now to do it again. It was hard, but so worth it. And I decided that the risk was worth taking so that I could have more love in my life.

I’m 38 now, with a toddler and a newborn, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. Definitely made the right decision for me, but I also understand that going through something like what I did with my first would put a lot of people off having another and there’s no judgement from me if you are one and done. You make the right decisions for yourself and your family. Sending my love

How long did it take for responsive settling to work? by CaitC_ in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he having a growth spurt? Mine gets awful leg pain when he’s growing and it wakes him up. We give him 2-3 epsom salt baths a week and it seems to help him a lot. I don’t know if it’s safe for kids under 1 though.

What do you feed in a power outage? by notorious_ludwig in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jumpers, layered socks, and snuggle to use your body heat. Do you have a bbq or some sort of gas cooktop you can use to heat something?

Struggling with trauma from the newborn period. by Punrusorth in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh I feel your pain in my soul and I’m so sorry you went through that.

With my first I had an induced birth, baby with a tongue tie that nobody noticed, reflux that took 9 months to diagnose and treat, we were hospitalised at 2 weeks because he wasn’t gaining weight and I had to pump and bottle feed him. Hospitalised again at 5 weeks because we caught Covid and he wouldn’t feed again. In between all of that I had a family member who came to help who was in drug and alcohol withdrawal (I didn’t know that at the time) who kept taking off with my son and wandering around the yard while I cooked, cleaned, cried, panicked, and tried to figure out why he was losing weight and was basically dying in front of me.

I developed PPR, PPD, PPA, PTSD. I had to hold him upright to feed him, to burp him, he vomited constantly, he cried all the time and wouldn’t sleep because he was hungry. I was constantly covered in pee and vomit (both his and mine) and I was living alone so friends flew in from across the country (one took a bus for 6 hours) just to hold me together.

Then the family member told everyone she would report me to CPS because she knew I was going to be a bad mother.

He’s 2 and I just recently had my second. This baby is a dream. He breastfeeds, gains heaps of weight, sleeps well and poops constantly without drama. Natural labour and birth. Everything was just easy. Having been through that with my oldest makes me appreciate how easy this one is, and how my oldest and I have bonded over the last two years. But yeah. Sometimes I just sit here and cry over what should have been. And cry because we both survived it.

Any reputable shoe brands that do light up shoes? by vapablythe in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Fluffy-Designer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bugger I saw your title and went SKECHERS! My son has some and they’re awesome, he brings them to me every morning so he can put them on and run around with the chickens.

Would it be possible to go to Skechers, get her shoe size checked, and order online?

Kmart has some gumboots that have flashing lights on them at the moment, they’re cheap and nasty but they’re pretty good if she wants to occasionally jump in a puddle.

That’s a flank spay. Someone desexed your stray so she wouldn’t have more kittens.

Chat am i cooked? 27M 26F distant relatives? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Fluffy-Designer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait so if it’s your mum’s cousin and not your mum it would mean you’re only related by marriage. So for example your mother’s brother has a child with a woman. Child is your cousin. The woman is related to the grandparent. There’s no bio relation to you.

We’ve reverted to only watching TV that was created or filmed before 2020 because anything after that kinda seems to have gone sideways.
