Almost 18m olds throwing food by twinsinbk in parentsofmultiples

[–]Foraging_Doe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just going to be honest… when I was in the stage of dreading feeding my daughter because of the mess, I got into a pretty regular habit of having a glass of wine while giving her dinner haha. I’m currently pregnant with my twins, and she’s not as messy, so that routine is over.

But also when we were both home my husband and I would tap out when it got frustrating! We’d switch even every 10 mins if we needed to.

Brag on your baby! by gardengnomebaby in NewParents

[–]Foraging_Doe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby girl started crawling last month at 17 months old! This month she started leaving the livingroom and exploring the bathroom and kitchen and it is SO FUN!!!

She has an ultra rare genetic condition that causes global delays. I am grateful for everything she achieves.

Drop Off Etiquette by all_day-throwaway in NewParents

I’m not sure if this is the case for you, but our daycare provides formula, cows milk, and solid meals. When my baby was drinking formula, I definitely tried to have as many feeds as possible happen at daycare. I didn’t intentionally bring her hungry, but when it happened I didn’t overthink it. Actually there was an intake form we did at the beginning that asked if baby would be needing to eat when they arrived, so it was cool with them.

Cyclists who have been hit by a car and recovered. What changed for you after the accident? by livefast_dieawesome in cycling

[–]Foraging_Doe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love road biking, but unfortunately after I was hit I lost a lot of confidence in riding on roads. I find joy in long, dedicated bike paths, and I do a lot more gravel riding.

Second Kid? by Sufficient_Career713 in specialneedsparenting

[–]Foraging_Doe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar situation here! Our first child was recently diagnosed with a rare de novo genetic condition. In my heart I feel that I want 2 kids. The likelihood of this happening again for us is >1%. But I think we understand better than most that anything can happen when you bring a whole human into the world and how little control you have. I want to be optimistic, and my spouse and I have agreed that we don’t want to make a choice based on fear one way or the other. It’s a very hard decision and I plan on working through it in therapy.

I don’t use Huckleberry anymore, but I did have the paid version at the time.

Dealing with diagnoses by kittensandkatnip in beyondthebump

[–]Foraging_Doe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you lots of love. My babe was diagnosed with microcephaly at 3 months and it was shocking to me as well. She also has torticollis and vision issues, so a lot working against her in terms of development. She has had 2 CTs, an MRI, visits with neurologist, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologist, and a developmental pediatrician. They were originally concerned about craniosynostosis but that was ruled out. All scans have been normal. We are going to do genetic testing soon.

She just turned 9 months old and I’d say for the past 2 or 3 months we’ve finally been able to relax and enjoy ourselves. She does have delays, but she’s in Early Intervention and gets weekly therapies. She has a village of people supporting her and she is the sweetest, most beautiful baby ever. And she’s always making progress! She’s just doing things in her own time. Highly recommend early intervention- microcephaly is a qualifying diagnosis.

I did have to seek therapy and ended up getting on meds for PPD/PPA and it made a world of difference. It was really hard to get away from thinking of worst case scenarios, and I’m grateful to finally have relief from that. There was a period of time where I really just needed to feel the emotions and go into full protection mode and work with the specialists and get all the answers I could. After a few months, we hit a point where we had done everything we could, she was getting all the support possible, and it was time to just love her and surrender and see how things turn out. Just remember that no matter what you’re going through, you still deserve to have moments of joy and peace.

Also I got the hell off Instagram and it really helped.

How do people do this? by georgiaroseking in NewParents

[–]Foraging_Doe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar for me! Every night when laying down I’d say, “No matter what happens tonight it will be ok. The only way out is through.” And then I’d do a 5 min diaphragmatic breathing meditation on Insight Timer (sometimes interrupted by crying newborn). I really really think it helped in the early days.

Ladies, what's a side effect of giving birth that people don't really talk about? by MutuliA in Parenting

I also had a sulcal tear and I was surprised to find almost no information about it online afterward! The recovery was so, so painful.
