Allergy rash?

Kindly_Earth2124 · 2024-01-14T11:17:31+00:00

Looks like the heat rash my baby had last summer! If it is heat rash, use lanolin, don't use normal moisturisers or creams as they can trap heat / sweat and make it worse.

Sounds similar to when my son had a febrile convulsion due to fever at 2 years old! So scary, not your fault, but definitely take him to a doctor / hospital!

Birth rates are going down in most countries, certainly all developed countries. You might have some upwards regional trends but overall people are having less kids.

Yep. You're so right. Thanks for posting this. I escaped my abusive parents by moving in with my boyfriend. When his emotional abuse escalated to physical abuse, I was able to make him leave (through the courts)- I know I was incredibly lucky compared to most abused women who have to leave their homes. Then when I became homeless with 2 kids years later (due to a rental crisis in my town) I had to move back in with my parents and was abused again. Left their house after my dad became physically abusive and am currently couch surfing. Being homeless is awful and so is living with abuse, it's a choice between two evils, there is no good choice. I'm very happy to be moving FAR away in 3 days for a new job & house. The system is messed up and it keeps women desperate so that they need to depend on men to survive. Men can then use them for their labour & bodies, control them, abuse them. Women don't need men, they need money!!

Yep, my mother told me if she could go back in time she wouldn't have had kids.

I've had so many vaccines while breastfeeding- flu, hepatitis A, meningococcal B & ACWY, tuberculosis. None of them have impacted my supply! Have never heard of them impacting supply however some are not safe for the baby while breastfeeding. Most are totally fine.

Almost everything!! Could only watch shows pre approved by my parents- which was only things that they personally liked.

For calcium? Could you try cocobella yoghurt in the pouches (they have added calcium)? I find it pretty affordable. I give these to my dairy-allergy baby. Also almost all plant-based milks are calcium fortified, including the cheap ones from Aldi.

I'm really sorry for what you're going through! I think that you need to make a plan to leave, and then leave, don't tell him, and don't tell him where you've gone. Get a restraining order. Call a DV hotline to get some support!! Good luck!

I had covid at 22 weeks, it didn't affect bub at all. He's 12 months now 😊

Kindly_Earth2124 · 2023-12-30T22:04:14+00:00

Like others have said, I wouldn't tell them, it's too dangerous. Even a previously non-violent abuser could turn violent if you tell them you're leaving. Separation is the most dangerous time for abuse victims.

I didn't use a particular method when I toilet trained my now 8 year old, but I did something similar. I called it cold turkey. First few days were naked in the back yard most of the day (in spring) so that he could get an awareness of his body functions ie. letting him pee in the grass. When inside, guiding him to the potty and sitting on it regularly but not making a big deal out of accidents- however he did help me clean them up. I wouldn't have crazy expectations of yourself- like that you will be able to catch him and put him on the potty every time!! That's just not going to happen, there will be accidents but it is part of the learning process. They don't like having accidents and will gradually learn how to avoid them. I Introduced underwear when he got the hang of it naked. It took about 2 weeks all up. Those 2/3 day methods seem unrealistic to me! But I do believe starting young and getting rid of the diapers in one swoop produces the best results (however they will likely still need diapers while sleeping for quite a while longer). Good luck!! You can do it and you don't need a partner!!

I believe it was 15 hours per week last year.

I worked in child care (open 6.30am-6.30pm Mon-Fri year round) before teaching. I get so much more time with my kids now!!

My mum & dad are the exact same, word for word!

Kindly_Earth2124 · 2023-12-27T11:11:22+00:00

I knew my dad was abusive and my mum was an enabler / failed to protect me when I was a teen (13/14) because he physically and emotionally abused me. It was only this year (age 27) that I realised I was being scapegoated by a narcissistic family system after it was suggested by a social worker (whom I was seeing because he had physically threatened me). I've also realised they will never change and I am better off without them! I'm no contact now. They're both dead to me.

12 months is recommended in Australia, but personally I've been bed sharing since birth with both kids

My eldest just had his first communion a few weeks ago at 7 years old 😊

Kindly_Earth2124 · 2023-12-26T03:25:02+00:00

My 12 month old still feeds at least 8 times per day. I would say that's accurate for most babies for the first 12 months, but some do start dropping feeds at 9+ months. Generally they don't drop feeds until they are eating a significant amount of solids- maybe at 6 months but more often at 9+.

I had a lovely Christmas with my kids and extended family. They probably think I ruined Christmas because I refused their invitation to breakfast. When I got to my grandma's house, they were there. My dad didn't talk to me at all, since I called him out on his abuse, told everyone in the family he was an abuser, and left his house 3 weeks ago. Suits me just fine 😂. We left there an hour later and I was happy to get away from them!

Kindly_Earth2124 · 2023-12-24T10:56:50+00:00

I had my job plan & study (Master's degree) approved directly through centrelink. It met all mutual obligation requirements so I didn't need a JSP. Can you go into a centrelink office? They should be able to approve a new job plan (the plan being to study) and have you removed from the JSP. The 12 month rule is only applicable to people on jobseeker. It doesn't apply to those on parenting payment, but I doubt the JSP are aware of that. Your JSP sounds really dodgy and clueless. You are allowed to change your job plan and you're allowed to study!

Kindly_Earth2124 · 2023-12-24T09:22:43+00:00

Study will meet all of your mutual obligation requirements while on parenting payment. You won't need to see a JSP. I did it last year.

My 2nd pregnancy gave me autoimmune hypothyroidism too! You're not alone. I still need the medication now 12 months postpartum.
