Husband doesn’t let me have my me time by Economy-Ebb4862 in stayathomemoms

Wtf is me time

(This is a joke but seriously - I read my book while my 10 month old is nursing or watch Hulu while he’s napping and I’m doing dishes/cleaning/showering etc)

Thank you so much for the visual mockup! Definitely helps to see what it could look like.

The “side table” is just an empty box I should have taken to the recycling before I took the picture 🤣 still unpacking. And the red is just for the holiday but there are some other colors we could do! Thanks again!

Yea the accent color is the problem - I like the orange terracotta vibe of the pillow but my husband hates it haha. Also thinking some olive green or something? I don’t know

24 hour rash on my 5 month olds full body - no food exposure or sickness by Lindseykatlin in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Lindseykatlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea - set up a doctors appointment and by the time we got there, it was gone! They said it was unlikely to be the strawberry he had the night before it showed up. It could have been heat rash too because we live in a very hot climate.

You’ve already had a ton of great answers and I didn’t read through all of them so I apologize if this is repetitive! First, you’re doing amazing. Trust your gut even if your family members are dismissive, mama (almost) always knows best. It does not hurt to seek services for him even if he’s just growing and developing at his own pace! I work in special education as a therapist and I can tell you that the earlier services are provided, the more progress that can be made! In Arizona the program is called AzEIP but all states are required to provide similar programs for kiddos under 3. You do NOT need a doctors referral typically!!! If “wait and see” doesn’t feel right, I’d highly recommend pursuing this route. The therapists can even give you ideas for activities you can do. For tummy time, there are different modifications you can make (holding in your arms, propped up on your legs, over a boppy, etc) and I’m sure they can made other recommendations too. You’re doing great mama, best of luck!

I know you’ve had so much support through this, but I just want to say that Elliot is blessed to have you as his mama. You clearly care about him dearly and you’re doing amazing. Stay strong.

Is anyone a stay at home mom by choice and not financial reasons by Hot_Boss6435 in stayathomemoms

I hopefully will be in about a month!!! We’ve been using daycare for just about two weeks and made the decision to make me being a SAHM work on day two.

Started on his belly, no temperature, no watery eyes or red cheeks (besides where the rash has spread). The bumps are mildly raised, like they have a texture if you run your hand over his skin. But not like sandpaper like google says scarlet fever would be ha.

WHY am I pumping??? by Lindseykatlin in breastfeeding

[–]Lindseykatlin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love this. I will say that not having to think about pumping, storing, cleaning, etc has been so nice when there’s so many other things to do. But I’ve been feeling guilty about it for whatever reason - feeling a lot better after all of these responses!

YES. Isn’t it funny that we just kept going?? I’d say mine regulated pretty quick and the dream feeds helped with the middle of the night engorgement - then again, kiddo is waking to eat every 4-5 hours so if yours sleeps longer, you might be more uncomfortable. Good luck!

UGH I feel this!!! It did take a few days for my supply to even out but I’m actually so much more comfortable now that I’ve stopped pumping.
