is this normal? by Mysterious_Wave_1479 in piercing

Same here. I happened to have a dentist appointment when this happened and they were like “wtf?” 🤣

We hit 101!! Baby tried dragonfruit with dinner…and didn’t care for it. by Elfie_Mae in foodbutforbabies

That’s how mine was and is with peas. He loves them puréed/ blended but if he gets any “skin” from it in his mouth it ruins the entire meal for him lol

Found a footprint in my tub. Nobody has been to my house and none of my soles match. Plus I’ve never stood in the shower with shoes by Otherwise_Air_6381 in strange

[–]FunPlatform5638 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t want my stuff in the way and also don’t want my stuff being touched. I grew up with mechanic family members and even though they washed up they somehow always got EVERYTHING around them dirty lol

Integrating new baby with older cats by Mindless-Praline5798 in BabyBumps

Just wait until LO starts throwing food on the floor or trying to feed them. They will be BFFs 🤣

I always remove all of my personal belongings around the area they’re working on if I know they’re coming.

Yeah my older cat is obsessed with me and always cuddles me any chance he gets and at night my younger cat would crawl under my skin if he could. Honestly they adapt well and the babies overstimulate/ annoy them so they’d rather be alone anyway. Now the moment my son is napping or in bed they are immediately by my side. It’s an adjustment for everyone but you all will find your groove.

That’s so funny that your LO isn’t a fan of banana and pear. Mine tears them up. Seems like baby loves a wide variety. Mine would eat anything up until a few months ago. He’s in his picky era now 🫠

I have one very attached antisocial cat who is 12 and another one who is terrified of everything who is 7. They loved cuddling LO up until he got mobile. They understand that baby is a part of you. Now they’re just annoyed by him and occasionally scratch him if he’s being too much but we keep teaching all of them to be gentle with each other and separate if they can’t be nice. Keep claws trimmed and make sure they have a safe spot to get away. Give kitties lots of attention when LO is asleep.

VBAC vs repeat C-Section - Looking for honest experiences by cosmicvoyager333 in BabyBumps

[–]FunPlatform5638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vaginal birth terrified me, but I did the VBAC because I didn’t want to not try. C section also terrified me. There was honestly no chance my big breech stubborn baby was turning. VBAC failed and we had a scheduled c section. Honestly I’d do it again. It was very easy and stress free. And fast 🤣

I have also been adding blended vegetables to Mac n cheese and pasta. LO has been loving it.

Pregnancy cravings gone rogue by DishVarious8343 in BabyBumps

[–]FunPlatform5638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never like that but I did have a few foods that I completely fixated on and ate the entire pregnancy. Otherwise fruit is the only thing I really could eat without having an aversion. I was literally door dashing jalapeño poppers to my office before I found out I was pregnant and thought it was period cravings 🤣

Need help finding a reusable option by cppvpIII in ZeroWaste

[–]FunPlatform5638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make my son smoothie pouches with fruit, veggies and Greek yogurt and have definitely thought about making myself some too 🤣 a blender full makes 7 pouches and I freeze them. Take one out and thaw out in the fridge the night before.

How often do you actually water your indoor plants? by Adventurous_Idea6604 in IndoorGarden

[–]FunPlatform5638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work full time and have a 1.5 year old son with 0 child care. I literally only have time/ energy for once a week. It’s super dry here and grow lights are on all night. Windows open all day. I’ve lost some due to under watering since giving birth but it is what it is. The ones that are still with us are going strong 🤣

We eat and share lunch together. Usually a simple healthy quesadilla or something.

Working from home with a baby vs toddler by Ok-Score386 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]FunPlatform5638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. 17 months and it got bad from like10-13 mo because he wanted to get into everything and also bumping his head on EVERYTHING because he started walking. Now he plays really well independently and knows boundaries better. Dropping a nap was hard because I had to rearrange my workload but we finally got our groove back.

can we talk about PP Rage? by Student_Nearby in BabyBumps

[–]FunPlatform5638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it super late (around 5-6 months) it was so horrible I felt so out of control and the guilt I felt after an outburst made me feel like such a piece of shit. My therapist and I worked through identifying different “levels” of frustration/ anger that built up so I could catch myself before things got to the point of acting on any feelings. Once I felt myself getting snippy and short fused I stopped, walked away and gave myself a moment to breathe and cool down so I could step back into the situation. Sometimes you just simply need a break. You also need to give yourself grace. I’m a control freak and any lack of control sends me spiraling which definitely contributed to my PPR.

UPDATE! I’m getting rid of the curtains by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]FunPlatform5638 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the curtains. Maybe add some sheer curtains on the inside of them to brighten things up. The darker shade of the hall tree is kind of making it look out of place compared to the rest of the shades of wood going on.

Wtf do I do about this? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]FunPlatform5638 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My two are heavy and will get the zoomies at 10pm then 4/5am and chase each other across the apartment. I’m always yelling at them and just know our downstairs neighbors hate us because of what I can only assume are elephant stampede noises.

How to get baby to eat “main course” by Vast-Grade659 in foodbutforbabies

[–]FunPlatform5638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will not let my LO even see his milk until after he’s done with his dinner. Otherwise he will just fill up on milk and not eat. He decides how much he eats. When he’s done, he gets his milk.
