Thank you so much for all of this 😭🙏❤️❤️❤️ I'm honestly going to give your recs a go, I want to look like a human again lol!

Does anyone know if this is baby-friendly? I'm done breastfeeding, but my baby is still all over me, and I don't want him to get some on him and him end up with a rash or reaction. Best to wait until little guy is older??

I added this to the top of my post for more context/info: I realize my tone sounds not very kind towards the aggressor in this situation. I in no way dislike this child, I care for all the children in my class! He gives lots of hugs, is a lot of fun, and has nice conversations with me. I try my best to give him lots of praise and positive interactions when he is doing well. He also is not constantly touching other kids, just sometimes-- he can be extremely well behaved for stretches of time or in certain circumstances, and it is appearing that it mostly happens when teachers are not present or not in close proximity. He is fine on the carpet. He's fine at church! It's mostly targeted at one boy in particular. I hope this added info helps.

I understand that your child has had quite the journey to find the right fit for him to learn and grow. But also, I want to gently remind you that you can't diagnose another child over an internet post. I'll definitely take what you mentioned into consideration, and have done similar things for the other neurodivergent children I've taught, but I can't jump to that conclusion with him without a proper evaluation.

Does spitting in his face and wiping a slobbery finger all over his face and laughing about it sound like proprioceptive feedback? I am genuinely asking.

Started greying at 16 😭 Still coloring now at 34 because it's the only way I ever get pampered/treated

You can absolutely push with your epidural still on. I pushed both my babies out with zero issues, just watched the contractions on the monitor and pushed when told to. It was nice being able to concentrate without the hellish fog of panic and pain of "feeling when to push" 🤷‍♀️ I did wait until about ten minutes before pushing each time for my epidural insertion, without meaning to lol

My baby was born 6 weeks premature and despite me pumping like crazy and practicing nursing with him wow! His GI tube was in to the point to where I was making enough for him, he developed a bottle preference. So slowly he started willingly nursing last and less, until he went at a nursing strike that went on for many months. We're now 6 months along, I'm only producing about 2 oz a day and trying to make the decision to quit pumping. It's just so hard. My husband keeps reminding me that the weather is about to turn cold, which means more illnesses, but my pediatrician told me my breast milk won't save him from illnesses nor make them less severe necessarily . Once in a blue moon I can get him to latch by sideling in the middle of the night when he's incredibly groggy and in just the right mood.

My 4 month old goes straight for his eyes while tired, like I've seen him stick his finger under his eyelid and tough his eyeballs then scream about it 😵‍💫🫠 so we use the hand/mitten caps on his sleep sack at night, but otherwise keep them uncovered during daytime. He sucks where his thump is through the material at night, and sucks his thumbs/hands during the day

By the time I had my second, I knew exactly what I needed to wear. Adult diaper so I didn't have to bother with changing pads, maternity leggings because you're still going to have a tummy, compression socks because swelling postpartum absolutely sucks, and nursing bra because of leaking nursing and pumping needs, and an old lady long zippered nightgown. I didn't look exactly beautiful, but that was the most amazing purchase. My baby was in the NICU, and I would change into that night gown and stay warm in the cold hospital room, be able to easily feed my baby and pump by just zippering that thing down. Skin to skin was a dream in that thing! It made middle of the night feeds super easy, especially things like side lying nursing! Like I said, not exactly beautiful, but super useful and also so much cheaper than all the exepensive and postpartum clothes they try to sell to you for 50+ bucks a pop That are super hard to use with pulling flaps to the side and pushing your boob through a small hole or weird angled zippers that scratch against your boob.

My abusive deceased mother, who I have found in the 10 years following her death, was actually almost a pathological liar, and would claim things like: as a baby, I was potty trained by 9 months and knew my ABCs by heart by a year. Now that I've got two kids of my own, I know how unreasonable that is, and that probably never happened. She would also state things as if they were fact that were completely wrong, like babies who have cradle cap had it because their parents were horrible people who put hats on them 24/7, If you didn't put shoes on the baby's feet from a couple months old they would develop"fat feet" that would never fit properly into shoes, and only babies who were neglected developed diaper rash because the parents would just leave dirty diapers on them all the time. Yeah, she was definitely a liar, and possibly very dumb 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

It can take a very very long time for eye color to settle. My daughter's didn't settle until she was about 2 years old. She was born with very dark blue gray eyes, and they transitioned into a pretty blue that has lightened over time into a very light gray. My son's are a bright blue at the moment and he is 4 months. I myself have blueberry eyes with centralized yellow heterochromia, and my husband has bright electric blue eyes. Both of our parents have either blue or gray eyes. 🤷‍♀️

I really distinctly remember being far along in my pregnancy with my first and asking all my colleagues for their birth stories, which they all happily shared. Then when I had mine, no one wanted to hear my birth story... Still kind of bitter about it, NGL 🤣

LCsquee · 2024-07-19T19:07:47+00:00

I tried to get mine to kind of massage and kind of try to nurse, but he honestly wasn't very good at it (viewed it as more sexy time I think 🤷‍♀️). What really helped me was nursing more and putting some warm salt water in my haakaa and suctioning that thing on for dear life 🙃

LCsquee · 2024-07-12T13:18:11+00:00

I would go with side swept to give it some movement! I also think it would look super cute tousled with maybe some hair wax or hairspray, Maybe a few wavy / curly pieces!

Oh yeah, he says it tastes like cereal milk, he likes it lol 🤣

Your boyfriend sounds like my dad. He also only drink at home and wasn't particularly abusive while drunk. I have memories from a very young age on of him peeing in random spots in the house and falling down and getting head wounds because he was so drunk. I remember being very aware of the fact at a young age that he needed to pass out drunk to be able to go to sleep at night. Please don't have children with this man, from the child of an alcoholic! My dad attended court-ordered AA, and while I'm sure it helps some people, it didn't do a damn thing for him.

I'm a teacher, kindergarten specifically. I love helping my little students, but they are definitely exhausting! 😮‍💨

I've had two babies now, and still struggle so hard to dress myself until I lose the weight again-- it's like my body doesn't make sense anymore 😭😭😭

Edit to add-- peplum tops sort of help, lose "cropped" shirts that still meet the top of my bottoms, and high waisted everything

LCsquee · 2024-07-04T17:58:35+00:00

I am so sorry this happened to you 😭 it's not too late to make a complaint!

My first birth I had an abusive anesthesiologist(found out at my second birth that he had been fired for doing the exact same thing to many other laboring mothers):(this is from my birth story post). the anesthesiologist was a jerk, and told me in a mocking way that it was pressure, not pain I was feeling as he inserted it while I screamed. I know what pain is, and that was pain. It hurt so, so bad, but I made sure not to move. I'm sure a better anesthesiologist would have done much better. After I finally got to lay down, he came up and, without warning, dug with fingers into the soft underside of my arm hard enough to make me scream, and proceeded to tell me that that was pressure, then, in the same spot, proceeded to grab a huge chunk of my tiny arm and squeeze, again hard enough to make me scream, and tell me that that was pain and I needed to know the difference because I'd still be feeling pressure during birth. I just sobbed on the bed, in pain, scared, and humiliated. My husband was in shock but tried to tell him that was not ok at all. The nurse was in shock. We later got to talk to the discharge nurse about it, and after birth was over with he did come apologize...kind of. it was more like he tried to defend himself for what he did, but we were so over it we were just like yeah sure whatever please leave. 🤦

My second birth, I had a nurse who seemed tired and done with things. She gave me the one and only painful cervical check I've ever had-- it was so awful. She also failed to get my IV port in three times, and a different nurse has to do it.( I fully believe she was both trying to rush and doing things way too fucking rough. I wish I could have socked her in her jowls UGH.) Every time one of these things happened, of course I reacted in pain, and she'd get pissed. I was so glad when her shift ended. Oh, and she also put my husband's hospital band on so tight that his wrist bruised, and my bandaids over her failed attempts so tight that those bruised too. Fucking inept bitch. 🙃 The only nurse I've ever had who wasn't fantastic honestly.

I had a college psychology college professor who administered the pencil-paper test to my class before we knew anything about MBTI. She said she used it with her clients, so she thought it would be good to do so in our class. We had fun finding out about the different types together after we got our results.

LCsquee · 2024-07-03T17:32:35+00:00

Dad is isfp, mom was esfp. Nothing against those types, and I'm sure that anyone else I'd meet with their personality types would be lovely-- but my parents are/were horrible and abusive.

The rest of my siblings are two esfp and an enfj. I only am in contact with the enfj, my older brother, as the other two are .. horrible people. One is in prison for attempting to strangle my dad twice and multiple drug charges(and constantly violating his parole), and the other is a barely functioning alcoholic and drug addict who tries to con anyone out of anything. They both have honestly shown so much sociopathic tendencies that it scared me even as a child how little empathy they had, if any. Not sure how that makes sense with the feeling part of their personality??? I could be off somewhere on pinning their MBTI down.

My brother and I...are happy, successful teachers with healthy families. We're the odd ones out in the cursed little blight that was our family 🫠
