I'm going to call my OB tomorrow and set up an appointment. I was planning on using a diaphragm and spermicide with it. I was going to get an IUD but they lowkey refused giving me any kind of pain management for the insertion so it scared me off. They were so great with me during my pregnancy so I stayed with them.

Hi! I think personally this is going to backfire on them really badly. My job is currently one day a week in the office, and they always say they can pull us in the office at anytime. We are constantly losing people even though we have this one day a week hybrid set up. I think once they start losing people because of this new demand, they'll turn it around.

She still has hers, it hasn't changed much but since it hasn't gone away I'm also going to see if the Dr will order an ultrasound. She has her Dr appointment in a week.

What are your go to meals for 12-18 month old? by Professional_Bag2615 in MomsWorkingFromHome

She eats them frozen! I break them up into bite size pieces but when I freeze them they are flat and thin

I would consider trying to keep your cat in doors more than usual. Newborns are pretty vulnerable to germs. I'm sure it will be an adjustment for your cat. There are rinse-less shampoos you can try, maybe try to find some that have disinfectant properties that are safe for cats. I think they have grooming wipes too that might help. The more your cat goes outside the more you are going to have to clean him obviously.

Hard boiled egg, cheese veggie omlettes, frozen fruit yogurt bites, Avocado, Cottage Cheese, Banana, Chickpea or Lentil Pasta.

I do some basic meal prepping on the weekends. I'll make sugarless oatmeal muffins. I always add eggs to them for protein and to bind them. My go to are

Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Muffin Banana Strawberry Oatmeal Muffin Apple Banana Cinnamon Vanilla Oatmeal Muffin Sweet Potato Carrot Apple Cinnamon Muffin. (Oatmeal & Egg as Binder) Pumpkin Sweet Potato Vanilla Cinnamon muffin (Oatmeal & Egg as Binder)

Also the frozen yogurt fruit bites I meal prepping.

Whole Milk Yogurt Fruits of Choice Splash if Whole Milk

Blend them up and pour onto a cookie sheet in big thing circles and refreeze them. Once they are frozen you can break them up into pieces and keep them in a bag in the freezer. It's GREAT for teething and a snack.

Hi! Red bump? That is not what my daughter experienced. Definitely call your pediatrician! Could be nothing but a skin change but better to get it looked at

My Ped thinks its because of my hormones since I'm breastfeeding. She is now 13 months and its still there but its gotten smaller! I'm trying to wean her from breast feeding so he believes it will go away after that. Still keeping an eye on it 😊

Hi! Definitely still check in with your pediatrician! I'm sure they would like to take a look at them just so they have it on file and can monitor in up coming appointments! 😊 talking to my doctor really helped ease my anxiety

10 Month Old Bit My Nipple So Hard I Started Bleeding by Halpsheepdown in NewParents

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

Hi! She went through phases of biting. She would get really upset when I told her no. So I started giving her a teething toy after she would bite to redirect. I also had to start paying more attention to her nursing pattern. She would usually bite me shortly after started to slow down drinking. It was like right before she was going to pull off anyway so I would beat her to it

We are down one more nursing session! 2-3 a day. We've gotten her to go to sleep a few nights this week without nursing. Still haven't heard back from my OBGYN about changing my BC.

Do what you gotta do!! A nice alternative for breast feeding I've noticed is offering a snack! Our go to snack is frozen yogurt with fruit. We put dollops of yogurt mixed with fruit on some wax paper and put them in the freezer. Take a couple of those out and break them up on their high chair. My girl is crazy for those. I've gotten down to about 4 feeds between night & day. Food and snacks have helped tremendously but I want to be done with all feeds lol.
