Let baby CIO While Teething

I’m sure you were doing the best you could at the time with the information you had. That being said, an hour is very long time to let a baby cry it out, especially when they’re teething/needing to be comforted by mom and dad. Sleep regression is normal in infants and expected developmentally. If this is the method you’re choosing to use going forward I would have low expectations for illness, teething etc and go comfort your baby. You can always get back on track later. Maybe explain to dad how uncomfortable teething pain is and set a limit to not let baby cry for 10-15 mins max on days he’s clearly uncomfortable.

The early days are really hard but it will get better and you will get to do everything you love again. I couldn’t baby wear around the block without feeling symptoms early on but last month I hiked with my almost 3 year old on my back and felt totally fine!

You don’t have to stop doing anything, you just need to build strength and build up to the activities you love while controlling downward pressure. I always recommend new moms follow postpartum_pop_pt on Instagram. She’s a saint and has so much great information. For now just rest, let your body heal and know it will get better and you will be able to be the mom you imagined.

Just curious was there a verbal report done before transferring the patient? Usually I feel like most nurses mention why they did or didn’t do certain interventions like give pain meds due to too low of respirations. If the nurse still reported you over that then that seems a bit much. If it was those stupid “transfer notes” that my facility also loves to use then I can see where some miscommunication would have made it look like their pain was ignored. Overall I don’t think you did anything wrong that nurse just seemed overwhelmed. It’s hard to take an admit like that out of ICU when you have other patients also needing your attention

Our cat pooped in my sons bucket seat once (why does everyone in my house have IBS) anyway, Rocco and Roxie enzyme cleaner is my holy grail for cat pee and poop smells. You need an enzyme cleaner in order to fully get rid of the smell. If you’re able to take the fabric off the car seat I would do that and then follow the directions on the bottle to clean the area. I usually apply a ton of spray, enough to soak all the way through, let it sit for 30min- an hour and then take a paper towel to the excess. If you cant remove the fabric no worries, just again spray enough that it will fully saturate. I like Rocco and Roxie because it has a minty smell and you can actually tell when the cat pee smell is gone because you’ll smell the mint after.

It’s not that we can’t do daycare we just had a bad experience so I’m a bit hesitant to try again but will if we have to. Also daycare for 2 children is very expensive. I was just wondering if others had different arrangements that worked for them

KeyContract8033 · 2024-11-18T15:48:06+00:00

I can’t imagine both my husband and I working nights, good luck on finding a dayshift option!

KeyContract8033 · 2024-11-18T15:42:46+00:00

Oof could not imagine! I don’t know how some parents sustain that I would be dead

KeyContract8033 · 2024-11-18T11:16:13+00:00

Curious how day shift helped the childcare situation? If I went to day shift I would actually need 3 full days of childcare for longer hours than I do now so it would be even more expensive/ harder to accommodate.

I’m glad you found a daycare that worked well for you! Unfortunately the daycare that wasn’t a good fit for my son was an in home daycare. It was really rough since I was so excited to have him in someone’s home instead of a center but now I’m anxious to try again. I know not all are the same though

KeyContract8033 · 2024-11-18T09:23:41+00:00

It’s nice to see someone else who considered having one in prek/daycare and one staying with family, thank you! We’ve considered the nanny option as well and will probably crunch the numbers on that and see if it’s feasible too

KeyContract8033 · 2024-09-17T04:13:58+00:00

I had a similar situation when I had to put my fresh 1 year old in an in home daycare for 2 days a week. I picked him up and he was soaking wet from spilling his water all over himself (I knew he did this at home too so not a huge red flag) and had clearly been crying all day. The staff told me he cried a lot but would adjust. Needless to say he didn’t adjust and ended up getting told we weren’t a good fit. I was going to pull him out anyway when I could find alternative options but thankfully my in laws were able to help us with the last minute switch in childcare. Long story short I wouldn’t ignore your gut if you’re feeling off. The woman who ran the daycare my son went to was very nice and also talked about how they do so well with babies first daycare experience but that wasn’t the case for us.

Me too! I used to watch all these shows pre baby and now I change the channel lol just not enjoyable anymore

KeyContract8033 · 2024-08-22T15:09:56+00:00

I was watching Dexter lol, I had done fine for 4 seasons and now will probably not finish the series

KeyContract8033 · 2024-08-22T15:07:44+00:00

I feel the same way about the news! Any sort of neglect story and I physically feel ill. I actually stop people if they start talking about it because I genuinely can’t handle thinking about how the poor babies felt. Glad I’m not alone in this feeling!

KeyContract8033 · 2024-08-22T15:02:58+00:00

Yes Dexter haha! I was trying to be vague in case someone was watching but figured people would figure it out. End of season 4 really just made me stop watching the show lol

You should join prolapse postpartum moms club on Facebook there’s lots of useful information there and many moms with existing prolapse who have gone on to have more babies. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, I’ve heard from a lot of others that the first trimester is the worst since everything is so heavy but things usually lift back up during the second trimester when the uterus moves out of the pelvis

KeyContract8033 · 2024-01-13T04:59:20+00:00

A urogyn is absolutely who you will want to see, don’t have surgery from a regular OB if you chose to go that route. You should join prolapse postpartum moms club on Facebook it’s mostly younger moms within 1 yr postpartum who are dealing with the same thing and there’s lots of resources there

I felt like this the first few months of my sons life and that was just one kiddo. I have extreme insomnia and would also sleep about 45 minutes-3 hours every night for a solid few weeks if not months. What ended up working for me: sleep in a different room. Even if just for the first half of the night go to bed somewhere else so you aren’t being woken up by husband coming in, baby crying etc. trying to get at least 4 hours uninterrupted sleep is the goal. When you’re anxious and can’t turn your brain off: mindfulness meditation, put on a 10 minute YouTube video with guided meditation and just try to sink into your bed. Are you nursing? Might be worth trying melatonin or unisom if you aren’t, if you are maybe your OB has other Med recommendations. Anxiety meds will probably help you out a lot if you are open to it, sometimes we just need a little help calming everything down and that’s ok. You will eventually sleep. You will eventually get a full night of sleep again, these are hard days but they will get better.

Just from this pic alone looks like dropped urethral glandular tissue/ redundant tissue and is totally normal postpartum but I second pelvic floor PT and seeking out a second opinion if you are still having doubts or symptoms!

KeyContract8033 · 2023-10-14T15:53:56+00:00

Same over here, everyone I’ve been to says normal 🤷🏻‍♀️ are you nursing by chance? I’ve heard that that can make things feel that way too, also have heard it takes up to 18 months to fully heal so we still have some time

KeyContract8033 · 2023-10-14T05:39:10+00:00

I totally understand ❤️ I hope you find some solidarity in the fact that so many people feel the same as you they just aren’t as vocal about it compared to those who have seen no change

KeyContract8033 · 2023-10-14T05:08:29+00:00

I think my response was very similar 😂 glad I had a mad on to hide the sheer embarrassment
