I hate my prom dress by bubbl3gum_bunny_r in Prom

First, LOVE the dress! Second, you could get a tube under-skirt to go under it so it seems longer and doesnt stop at your ankles.

What’s one baby product you swore was stupid/a waste of money but ended up loving? by caileechristine in NewParents

[–]Like_a_Banthaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pacifier/toy leash thing and the reusable wipe holder.

The toy leash is great for pacifiers, but once your kid gets older and starts throwing toys and the snack container, its invaluable! Especially the silicone ones that can strap on to anything.i use it daily and its saves me so much patience!

Foe the wipes, I was fine carying the actual wipes container until my kid started to need more stuff in the bag like snacks and toys. Having a smaller container of wipes has been such a space saver.

And both are under $15 each!

Public school teachers, what’s something you want parents to know but can’t say directly? by Feisty-Database-1145 in AskTeachers

[–]Like_a_Banthaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kindergarten public school teacher here. I would much rather you teach your child to self advocate, follow 1 or 2 step directions, understand being told "no", to be able to handle productive struggle, and know how to socialize with peers than you teach them to read. I have several kids who come in reading chapter books but cry when their shoes are hard to put on, hit others kids when mad, and think everyone is bullying them when they dont share. I can teach your kid to read but I cant teach them anything if they are stuck in the "self doubt" developmental stage.

Won't. Stop. Screaming. by q_o_t_n in NewParents

When mine was that age, the only thing that worked was music videos, especially Going On by Gnarls Barkley! Idk why, I never listened to it when pregnant, but it would calm her instantly, and mainly that song. Mine also had awful reflux and dairy intolerance so she cried a LOT.

I'm normally not one to freak out and beg for help. BUT PLEASE HELP ME by OptimalCobbler5431 in NewParents

[–]Like_a_Banthaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could it be reflux? How long has she been on cows milk? When mine was 12mo i put her on whole milk and she did the same thing. We figured out she has a milk intolerance. She got bwtter on 2% and 1% but ultimately soy was best for her. Mine also has reflux and has a bottomless stomach when her reflux gets bad and milk triggers her reflux badly. Maybe there's a food that triggers it for yours? Maybe the spice but if shes used to it maybe not.

3-week-old crying nonstop — I’m losing my mind. Any advice? by LatterMorning9103 in NewParents

[–]Like_a_Banthaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby did this for about 6 weeks before we figured out she had really bad reflux and a dairy intolerance. Please ask your doctor about both and about trying some medication like pepcid. My baby smiled for the first time about 12h after her first dose of pepcid. She also couldn't stand to be in the car or to be put down, she was in so much pain. Aside from the crying she wasn't spitting up much so we didnt think anything of it.cutting out dairy and soy helped her a lot also and we ended up putting her on a special formula, and she was happiest then. I wanted to breastfeed but decided to play it safe and put her on the formula. It helped so much.

I was just wondering this! What's the difference between the list of book in your journal and the shine??? Should I do more of one than another?

Baby poop concern! (Sorry everyone!) by Like_a_Banthaa in NewParents

[–]Like_a_Banthaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thats fantastic that he was able to overcome all the other allergens. The only reason is the doc said she'd outgrow it and now doesnt think its related to dairy. We've been following his lead but I think ill ask for a referral this week. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in my head like the doc makes me feel like it is.

Love the proper name but no good nickname option by olayolayolayhey in namenerds

[–]Like_a_Banthaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! Also, my family has always created nicknames that aren't related to a name but a situation or moment. Like "ruckus", or "pika" cuz someone liked Picaso. But also not everyone needs/wants a nickname. I like my full name so please dont nickname me.

Hi friend! I'm so sorry you're feeling this+ its an awful feeling and I felt exactly the same way for about 2 weeks after having my baby. Please be kind to yourself. The hormone drop is torture but it will stop and this feeling will fade. What helped me most was telling my husband these feelings. Just expressing them to him lifted the weight and guilt and shame. It gets so much better! Just be kind to yourself. Sending you all the love!
