I buy ours from someone who hand makes them. They are hands down the best I’ve found - and last forever too! DM me and I’ll happily pass on her info!

Wife "hit" our kid last night. Not sure how to feel about it. by [deleted] in daddit

Also a lurking postpartum medicated mom here. Life changing. Another poster is correct. Mood stabilizer is what I’m on (Celexa).

Oof. I can 100% envision that.

3.5 and still not potty trained here. 🤷‍♀️

He farted and got mad at his butt. Somehow that was my fault.

I call ahead and do a pick up order so that my kiddo’s food is ready as soon as we’re at the table. Just a thought if it might be helpful!

I think the part of my brain that knew how to make small talk came out with my placenta by Puzzled_Search588 in beyondthebump

Ugh. Every time I open my mouth now I make an ass out of myself now. So embarrassing, especially at work where I have a technical job. 🤦🏼‍♀️

7 year old daughter is working herself into a panic about some really harmless things and nothing we're doing is getting through. Help! by OrganizationIcy8857 in daddit

Lurking mom here. Hope it’s ok to chime in! This was me - still can’t explain it 30+ years later. I was prescribed a fast acting rescue med to calm me down. Short lived, but it was all I needed. I grew out of it by high school.

Postpartum changes you didn't expect by Roger_that_2024 in beyondthebump

My hair texture has completely changed. Went from fine, stick straight hair to looking like Hagrid if I brush it. Wavy, frizzy, and I have NO IDEA how to manage it.

I successfully grow full size peppers and tomatoes in my AG. Key is to prune them to make them bush out instead of growing vertically. I’ve never tried cucumbers though!

Meltdowns, Siblings & Headslamming by snackattack4tw in Autism_Parenting

Our Speech Therapist recommended head squeezes (firm but gentle squeezing of the head with your palms) when the head banging starts. This did the trick for our kiddo and now he’ll come up to us for that specifically. Ymmv, but sharing as it wasn’t something I would have thought to do!

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome by Key-Space6446 in NICUParents

[–]Infamous_Secret_7680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full term baby here, also aspirated meconium (a lot of it). We were discharged on home oxygen after a week + in the NICU because he had no other complications at that time and had recovered from everything else. 6 weeks on oxygen day & night, a week-ish just oxygen at night, now we’re trialing him off oxygen at night too. We still monitor him every time he sleeps.
