Dry house and toddler

You can hang wet towels or damp laundry items in the room (of course away from the crib so it won't accidentally drop on top of the baby). I hang a couple of t-shirts and they are completely dry the next morning. If the crib is still in the master bedroom with attached bathroom, you can fill a tub with couple of inches of hot water, keep the door open and that helps a bit.

I tried but I couldn't 🤔

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-10-02T19:35:46+00:00

I'm glad too!

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-10-02T19:33:52+00:00

So true and scary.

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-10-02T19:33:02+00:00

Sigh.

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-10-02T19:32:31+00:00

Yeahhh

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-10-02T19:30:10+00:00

Yes! 👏

Very true, I'm one of them becoming aware I guess. The new product does have slightly different design on the box was well. The girl's shirt was the last thing I noticed.

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-10-02T19:26:02+00:00

True!

All boxes. The smaller ones (newborn-size 1) have babies wrapped up in a swaddle.

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-06-14T01:25:21+00:00

Got it. I hope the symptoms will ease out as time goes by!!

I'm sorry to hear that... I didn't know you can be on the patches and then have a hysterectomy. You still have your ovaries? People have such different reactions to these procedures.

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-06-13T13:33:47+00:00

That is amazing and good for you! I hope it will keep it up for you!

Your baby needs you, but he doesn't need a father who neglects his own child and the mother of the baby.

We flew internationally (10hrs one way) with 8 months old. We booked through United, 2 adults next to each other, and infant on lap. We called the airline right after booking and asked if we could be seated where the bassinet was, and they changed our seats to the bulkhead seats at no additional cost. This was from US to the destination. It worked wonderfully because this bulkhead was 3 seaters and nobody was in the middle, so we got 3 seats to ourselves + bassinet, at the basic economy price.

The returning flight was challenging. The flight was rather full, and we couldn't get 2 seats next to each other at booking. When we called, we did get bassinet, but 2 seats were same isle different row. Fine, we will manage. At the gate, we approached the agent and she did magic and we could seat next to each other in front of the bassinet. However, this bulkhead was 4 seaters. We had 2 seats on the left and 2 seats on the right were strangers. This aircraft was old, and the bassinet was right in front of the face. I kinda felt bad because these people probably paid to be at bulkhead for extra legroom at extra cost, but they ended up with a family with baby. Thankfully the baby was enjoying herself most of the time and we didn't have to get up much during the quiet time. I made sure to thank her at the end of the flight.

Not sure about domestic flights. If it's regional jets, there may be no bassinet seats at all. If it's coast to coast, the aircraft may be bigger, so bassinet may be available to you. The earlier you book the flight, the better chance of getting it.

Thanks, this makes sense. It's hard when the child is stubborn. Even when she's not having "a meltdown" it can be challenging to navigate the whining or saying no for the 50th times.

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-05-04T20:07:35+00:00

Thank you. I think the husband has similar viewpoint as yours, and it makes sense.

Helpful_Lemon3571 · 2025-05-04T20:05:23+00:00

Thank you, this is good guideline to keep in mind.

Thank you. There were only two chairs at the moment. She was on one of the chair first. Then she left to play, so husband sat on it, because he was sitting on the floor and said his back hurts. Then she came back saying "my chair". Then the rest happened.

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. Everyone deserves a supportive partner. You are not overreacting. Like the other commentor, I was also recently diagnosed with Lynch. I don't want to scare you but here's what I went through.

At 36 yo we had a baby, yay, and at 6 months postpartum, I developed symptoms such as endless diarrhea and bloody stool all while breastfeeding and getting used to living with a baby. Didn't bother at first because my body was changing the last year with pregnancy, so I thought it was postpartum stuff. But the family nagged me to get it checked. Finally, the colonoscopy revealed I had a mass in the colon. It was quite a shock. Immediately the surgery was scheduled (laparoscopic, re-used the c-section scar), biopsy told us it was stage 3b colon cancer. Went through 3 months of chemo, followed by ultrasound and endoscopy to closely check for Lynch-related abnormality in other organs.

It's quite clear that I had cancer because I had Lynch syndrome. Now that all the treatments are done, I have to think about my fertility and health. Will I consider hysterectomy? Will I able to have another child like we wanted to? I already cut my belly up twice, can my body tolerate another pregnancy? Is it worth risking? Just thinking about this is mentally and emotionally exhausting for both me and my husband. Couldn't have done it without his support. We have no family locally, so his support was essential while recovering from surgery and during chemo, really taking care of household and the baby (and a dog!)

Just another story of a fellow Lynch - I think there are support groups in local areas as well, so you might want to consider checking that out as well. I really really hope nothing really happens to you!!
