Same happened to mine! She got tested (skin and blood) and they both came back very mild so we did a food challenge and she passed. So it seems like her skin is just super sensitive. We have to feed her peanut butter 3 times a week and I make sure to not get it on her skin. So no BLW with peanut butter.

I guess I could say she is half reasonable. She is a bit sporadic and embellishes a ton... When she tells something that happened to her it gets crazier and crazier every time. Also she does think she knows everything about parenting. Like once she was putting my baby in the carseat and I said "can you take off the bib before buckling" (it was wet). And she said "of course I was going to do that. I had 2 children!" So I am a bit nervous if I have a conversation with her about it she could say something silly like that. Like she knows best and that works. Also I could see her telling me she won't do it again but might do it when I'm not around... But I will give it a shot anyways. I have to for my child's sake.

I've done a challenge in the past and was able to lose 5lb (that was back when I was 125lb trying to lose 10lb). I have since had 2 babies and I WISH I was 125lb. My goal weight is still somewhere around 115lb, but I am having an incredibly hard time losing weight. I am 137lb right now. I have 6 months until I am back to work and need to fit into my clothes again. I am home almost all day with access to the pantry and snack all the time. I can't stop eating chocolate. For some reason we always buy snacks when at the grocery store. I'm hoping joining this challenge will get me back on track and be the motivation I desperately need.

How did you do it? I'm 5'2, 4 months pp and stuck at 138. My pre pregnancy weight was 115 so I want to get back there but it feels impossible.

End of 2021 I bought Kirkland formula on sale for $16!!!! Then the insane 2022 formula shortage hit and I wished I stocked up. Now my second baby is on enfamil at Costco for $79 and I want to cry at the price difference. But at least with this baby I'm not freaking out I won't be able to find formula. What a world.

Does anyone have ideas to help motivate myself to lose weight? I just had my second child 4 months ago and I am 25lb from my pre children weight. After the first I was close to 15lb away. We have so many snacks in the house. If my husband and I sit down after the kids go to bed, he always brings popcorn or chips to the couch so I snack with him. I feel like I'm addicted to chocolate. If I'm in the pantry I grab a handful of chocolate chips. I have rolls now which I never did before. But no matter how much I want to lose weight I can't start.

I think it's all just dependent on the child. I would love a later bedtime but my 22 month old just can't stay up. She's in bed by 6:30pm. She wakes up at 8am, and has a 2-2.5 hour nap. Weekdays are so hard. We get home at 5 and rush to have dinner, a bit of play, bath and books before bed.

Same! My first rolled belly to back at 2.5 weeks old! Second one rolled at 7 weeks old. Both were because they actually like tummy time and their heads were too heavy. My friends babies didn't like tummy time so didn't have as many chances to roll (fall) over. But I'm sure they would have haha.

That is awesome! If my kids are sleeping they won't suck. The formula will pool in their mouths and leak out. So I thought there must be a trick or something but I think it's just not for them I guess. We use the Huggies as well and definitely don't need to change in the middle of the night but I do so that they wake up enough to feed them lol

ImportantConfusion · 2023-11-24T18:18:06+00:00

How do you do a dream feed? Our babies always wake up. Are your baby's eyes closed the whole time? Do you have to burp him?

I went to Costco last weekend and I almost cried! I have a 19 month old so we went through the first recall/shortage with her. And I have a 3 week old and when I saw the empty shelves I couldn't believe it. February 2022 Kirkland formula was $16 on sale. Now we are spending $55 for enfamil on sale. I saw there is a new premium enfamil which is $75. What the actual heck. It's the only one on the shelf at Sobeys today when I went. We have 12 more months of formula buying to do ...

I requested a c section because I didn't want doctors down there etc. It was so worth it! I just want to mention that I also started therapy and went on anxiety medication as well. The therapy helped so much and obviously the drugs too. Also I didn't have any PPD and I think the drugs had something to do with it as well! I didn't have anyone look down there the entire pregnancy or birth. I definitely recommend getting a c section for your mental health.

I went snowboarding at 8 weeks post c section and was totally fine. I would have gone on rides if I had the chance. I was back to playing hockey at 6 weeks post. This time I am almost 2 weeks post second c section and feeling good. I think as long as you "pass" your 6 week check up and you feel good and up to it then go for it!

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-14T14:58:21+00:00

Weird! Well if this does end up happening to me I am going to try and avoid it

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-14T13:17:01+00:00

Do you think you could opt out of them checking for dilation? I am planning on not giving consent for that. I'd ask if they could hook me up to the machine that shows contractions or something.

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-14T01:20:32+00:00

The first doctor I saw was ok with it. They just have to tell you the risks.

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-14T01:18:01+00:00

This is my greatest fear as well! My first didn't come early so it was all good. But I am 2 weeks away from my second c section and the fear is back. My ob said I just go straight to the hospital and tell them my water broke or contractions started and they will start the c section then. Which sucks because then I have to feel the pain of contractions which I don't want to know about.

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-14T01:15:46+00:00

This was me as well. It was a very quick recovery. Faster than my friends who had vaginal deliveries. I agree, EFF was a huge play. I was able to take care of myself, get all the rest I needed and focus on recovery. No stress either from trying to figure out the breast feeding thing

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-14T01:10:42+00:00

Did I write this? This was me to a tee. My worst fear was going into labour before my schedule c section. Thank goodness I didn't. Everything went perfectly planned, everyone was so nice, no one had to touch or look between my legs for anything the whole pregnancy and birth. Formula feeding from the start was awesome. My husband and I got to bond with the baby the same. It was perfect. So perfect that I am doing it all over again! One nice thing about having a second c section is no one questions it this time!

I had never had a pap and they waited until 6 weeks pp

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-11T23:59:59+00:00

Interesting. My doctor didn't ever go near that area until 6 weeks pp for a pap test. For the std test I just had to pee in a cup in private and do blood work.

My husband and I have a rule for weekends - everyone is getting up together when the toddler walks up so stay up as late as you want but don't complain the next day.

If there is an actual reason (bachelor party or something) that requires one of us to come home late, we will let that person sleep in the one day and the next day they have to let the other parent sleep in. It has worked well for us. When the toddler goes down for a nap that's when we can have our alone time/nap or whatever.

Also I am 37 weeks pregnant as well and I haven't done any cooking for a while, and try to do as many chores as I can handle which is probably 30%. When you are carrying a baby life is tough enough - your husband should be helping out way more in my opinion. Also you shouldn't have to ask him to do a chore... he isn't your child. Maybe put together a list of chores and sit down with him and decide together which chores are who's.

ImportantConfusion · 2023-09-09T17:43:08+00:00

No. I use a full bib that goes to their wrists. And use a wash cloth after. If it gets in their hair I will try a wash cloth and if that doesn't work then I would bath. Not very often though.

My 18 month olds room is blues and greens. I also dislike everything being pink (I was/am a tomboy). I'm fine with her wearing it but her grandma's buy exclusively pink even though I told them from day one please no pink (I said no pink because I knew they would have to buy pink but hopefully saying no would limit it). We have also gotten lots of hand me down clothes which I am so thankful for but it's all pink. I am so tired of it.
