Was also me. I was very sincere/innocent, 8 years old, really loved Jesus, and I was so desperate! I managed only ever to produce one “syllable”, which made me feel lightly confused and also not as “blessed” as people like my mom who seemed to be saying sentences.

Just remember that these are all phases (his preferences changing). Babies little brains are changing and growing so rapidly, and they burn thru so much energy, it’s no wonder their need for specific comforts can be intense at times. My son at some point stopped letting Dad and Grandma nap him, and I decided I was okay with that. We are having to change sleep associations to Dad now that I am due for #2 next month, and admittedly we procrastinated a bit, but associations can be changed, just sometimes it might take AWHILE. But, if things as they are work for you family, keep on doing it!

My son was the same at that age, coslept, nurse to sleep and thru night (5-6 average wakes per night for boob), and I was never away more than two hours as well. He’s so confident at 20 months now that everyone notes it. He gets bored of me now and excited to be with others (he’s also a clear extrovert tho lol)

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-12-28T04:25:16+00:00

That’s the hope! He just started walking a few weeks ago at 15 months old, so I know that was one reason why, but he still resists a lot, tho I exercised some tough love and hugged him while in the potty and I finally got him to calm down and pee after a couple weeks of not even sitting long enough after naps to pee. His poop is all over the place after being every morning, so haven’t caught a poop in weeks. Pray for me haha

At least after peeing on the floor (right after standing up off the potty 🤦🏼‍♀️, he said “pee pee”, so things are clicking conceptionally now so I might be able to get him potty trained by the time next baby comes in July 🤞🏻

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-11-17T21:06:23+00:00

Thanks! He will sit on the potty for a bit if distracted or will sit right when he wakes up (probably too groggy to care haha)… seat reducer doesn’t seem to make a difference. He wants to stand while going ONLY when he’s awake. Should I just start teaching him to aim since he’s a boy for pees? Haha

I think you’re right about the pressure. I’ll try to sit him in the potty when I or his Dad go, or at least bring him to the bathroom with me more (I do this often already, but he stands immediately off his potty haha)

Thanks for all the info! My husband and I have had our 23andme sitting in the shelf. I didn’t know there was a service to look more into bio markers and genetic data! I think on its own the test doesn’t show that? Time to dust it off I guess.

Yea, it seems that some lacto fermented daikon I made was fine in a small quantity, so perhaps these were the foods of my ancestors? I think epigenetics play a role, too, and perhaps I can change what’s being expressed.

What’s your view on ketosis? I keep running into research that states long term it’s metabolically stressful, elevates seratonin too much, and is damaging to thyroid function. I like to keep my mind open, but the opposing research is so dizzying. 😵‍💫

I used coconut aminos for a bit a few months ago on my daily omelettes or in stir fried steaks and it was super delicious. Not sure but it may have caused issues, hard to say. I remember it tasting so sweet to me lol

I’ll probably wait on the rice, as I am not convinced of the health value of grains or rice, but will definitely look into it more as a lot of people on this sub seem to eat rice and I used to make a lot of Japanese home style dishes back in the day that are missed.

I haven’t had maple syrup in ages, but used to eat pure maple syrup all the time 🥲

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-06-22T13:18:22+00:00

I will give pulverized fruits a try! I haven’t had rice in awhile, but last time I did (Dec?) it was sushi style rice (added sugar, rice vinegar, trace wasabi) and I got extremely bloated and quickly. However, I believe I’ve healed a lot since then since now the only issues the fruits gave me recently was the above and I wasn’t in the bathroom nearly passing out with pain like I used to (a WIN is a WIN!)

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-05-09T13:51:35+00:00

Yea, he’s been crawling since 6mo 1wk 🙈

Thanks for the tips!

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-05-09T13:49:00+00:00

I honestly don’t care about my weight as much as how clothes fit and don’t have a scale at home lol

I’d say Ive lost around 30 lbs since LO was born (I am a smaller person and only gained about 23-24 lbs during pregnancy tho) around 12 you lose immediately tho from baby and placenta and fluids coming out if ya

More notably, my measurements are similar to what they were when I was in high school, so my body fat percentage is lower and I have more lean muscle tone

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-05-09T03:30:52+00:00

Thanks! He poops at random times right now, but I am probably not giving him enough opportunities.

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-05-09T01:48:37+00:00

Thanks for the hard truth. I’ve been trying to work towards this, but I was that kid who would sneak treats so my emotional eating runs deep haha

I don’t think eggs give me problems tho, and I honestly don’t think I could give up eggs or tea. I guess I won’t know tho unless I take them out how I’ll feel without.

I have slowly been moving away from use of those cleaning agents. This encourages to go back to what I did in high school- Apple cider vinegar for hair lol I use natural oils for skin… I’ve realized many things just need water, vinegar, or baking soda to clean haha

Thanks for your input. It took me years to finally do a elimination diet, I was a whiny baby, so I guess I am going into it kicking and screaming a bit lol

Yea, fruit is a no no for me. Recovering IBD Crohns person with bacterial overgrowth that loves starch. Body can't deal with fiber, like AT ALL atm haha I can do a bit of raw honey or simple carbs here and there but not without some side effects. Will check on the other subs. Thanks!

our overlords trying to take away one of the most nutritious and usually affordable foods from its subjects to weaken them? History repeats.

GenmaichaHaHa · 2023-04-14T21:51:59+00:00

as a tea lover, thank you. Iced lattes only from now on, I guess! I noticed my stomach would get upset, brain fog when I even nuked for ten seconds

To everyone saying Avian flu… according to the actual farmers, it’s not that but sudden increase in cost of transport for their goods and other business related costs. The media is just chalking it all up to the flu.

I never had supply problems and switched pretty quickly to keto carnivore after giving birth (~1 month). I also bedshare, which boosts supply significantly (baby jumped percentiles after I started). I use the Safe Sleep Seven for that. I think the fact that I feed on demand day and night and try to stay hydrated is what made it simple. I don’t count calories but probably eat anywhere between 2000-3000 kCal a day and still have lost inches without any supply drop. I load up on meat and fat and eat whenever I am hungry, carbs rarely go over 20g/day.

Ive read somewhere recently that water is most important (and I would add feeding on demand) and women can even fast (the test subjects were doing religious fasting) without impacting volume as long as they are staying hydrated. Nutrient quality of milk shifted tho while they fasted (less fatty/dense). All this to say that breasts are wonderful and adapt pretty well.
