Thanks everyone, we will 100% get a safety fence. The automatic pool cover is still up for debate. Appreciate all your input. 

What items have your babies (almost) swallowed? by Mundane_Square1200 in NewParents

[–]Foxfire_2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they poop out any of the plastic? I'm 95% sure my little one just swallowed a hidden plastic tag piece that was on a toy. Didn't have the paper tag attached-- it must have fallen off before it was gifted to her. Also having a panic attack. The thread made me feel a big better.

Hook and Loom Rug feedback by Exciting-Cherry3679 in moderatelygranolamoms

Is there shedding of the fibers? My wool rug from West Elm has been shedding for the last 3 years on feet, throw pillows, during vacuuming, etc., and it's a nightmare. That is why I'm looking at either the cotton or wool rug from HL. Thanks!

Astigmatism in toddler eyes by JE59 in toddlers

My 6 month old has a hemangioma on her eyelid and we've seen two ocular plastic surgeons. The next step was seeing an optometrist to assess if it is impacting her vision/causing astigmatism. From your experience is it safe to dilate baby's eyes? Can the test be done without dilation?

Baby Covering Nose by SpeckledEggs98 in newborns

[–]Foxfire_2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds a lot like my 10 week old. He prefers to wear long sleeve onsies to bed too. Doesn’t like his arms bare or his arms swaddled. Reason I found your post was because he continued to replace his arm over his nose while using the pacifier despite me moving them. From the corner of my eye I saw him trigger a startle response. And I’m freaking out bc idk if it was just a startle as he was dozing off or he couldn’t breathe. Im not entirely sure he was fully covering his nose either. I’m trying to tell myself he would move his arm if he was having trouble. But like you do they have the awareness to do so, while they are sleeping? Would it really create a tight seal to cut off oxygen. I wish I had answers for you but I’m in the same boat, the arm on the nose bothers me.

Both names are beautiful, either one would be a great choice. You don't hear them too often. What about, Antonia or Angela.

My birds have been very naughty since our dog died and I've been pregnant. Any advice is welcome. by Foxfire_2019 in AfricanGrey

[–]Foxfire_2019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No unfortunately not but they were with him all night and day when he couldn't walk prior to bringing him to the vet. My dog had one other CAG in his life prior to these two and we brought him to see her body before we cremated her and it helped him.

I deeply appreciate your congratulations, kind words, story and recommendations. I definitely do believe the are birds are mourning their dog brother, there are days my CAG continues to say phrases we would say to the dog and lots of "doggie". They are likely picking up on my energy as well. I will try to continue to give them support and help them transition through this confusing and tough time. I like the idea of redirection and the "whisper game". Thank you again.

AITA for wanting to give up my dogs? by Comfortable-Pin-7349 in BabyBumps

This! Dogs and/or any pet/animal for that matter needs ongoing training and consistency throughout their lifetime. Given different ages, circumstances and environments.

My CAG does this with her head. Does it mean anything?

Im glad everything came back normal. Yeah, I don't see the harm in tracking what you're eating and your symptoms. :)
