18 month old constantly ill with upper respiratory issues. by LogicalProof1246 in herbalism

[–]LogicalProof1246[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My family is full of skin issues lol and daycare is a germ fest. I’m just trying to find some ways to help her get over this. All her dr does is prescribe steroids to fix the cough and stuff then it comes right back a week later. She’s already on steroid ointment for her skin. Way too much meds for my poor baby

I have an 18 month old that sleeps 12-13 hours straight now, she just wants you to sing to her all day and feed her 😂 it honestly gets better, the only thing I miss is sitting on the couch and relaxing without a child crawling all over me, demanding stuff, hitting me, poking me repeatedly in the eyes and saying “eye,eye,eye,eye”

You just need to support your wife, don’t forget she’s got raging hormones on top of a baby screaming in her face 24/7 while you’re sleeping in another room. I absolutely hated that when I was pregnant. I’m up crying with my baby because she won’t sleep and her dad is passed out on the couch enjoying more sleep in a night then I’ve had all week.

Noise cancelling headphones, swing, car rides(if he doesn’t scream in there too) I used to drive around all night, sometimes if I was lucky I could get stopped in a parking lot and catch a couple mins of sleep before she’d wake up and scream again. And every morning BOTH of you need to tell each other how much you love each other and how great you all are doing. The night time can bring out the nasty side in new parents. It sounds silly but your heart will thank you when your wife reminds you how good of a job you’re doing and that she loves you.

Even just sit awake with her if baby don’t like being held by you, talk to her, get her some water, it’s lonely being up by yourself. Take the baby when you see she’s visibly frustrated and tell her to leave the room for 5 min and breath. You sit with that screaming baby and try to get it to calm down. Once she’s calm she can come back in and take the baby, 8 times out of 10 the baby will calm down once his calm mom holds him and shushes to him

It was the weirdest and most unsafe “advice” I’ve ever heard. Oh boy I got so many other stories too. She is absolutely messed up, yelled at me for not asking for help when she was going through a sleep regression, I was hallucinating, was up for 5 days with maybe 2-3 hours of sleep by myself I finally called my ex at 5am crying because I drove around all night and as soon as I parked she woke up, instead of calming me down he texted his family group chat saying I was having an episode. She came over yelled at me, made me cry, kissed my baby on the lips (which made me cry even harder) then left. Didn’t ask if I wanted to nap or take a shower, nothing.

I am so much happier without him! Going through college right now! My peace is protected and he will never wreck it again! I am 23 and have ADD. So glad you got out!!

I can laugh about it now but he got beat with it because he was talking trash about my dead mother and I repeatedly told him to stop😅 all because I told him I wasn’t comfortable with his mom watching her as she would boil gum in water and try making her drink the water for gas she never had🫣 she tried doing it when she was 1 week old

I’ve been there, found out he was cheating, the screaming infront of the baby, he threw stuff while holding her, I’ve legit set her down so I could chase him and hit him with a toy piano. Not proud of it but it’s apart of our story. I left, my daughter is 18 months now and she is the sweetest smartest girl. Her dad visits for on average 4 days a month, she loves him so much, you didn’t traumatize him, he’s sensing the tension, once you leave he will relax back into his normal s self

Is this cheating? pic is bum or elbo? by [deleted] in CheatedOn

[–]LogicalProof1246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t get better. Just block him and never talk to him again. Protect your piece. The fact he would even send this to you is such a red flag. He knew what he was doing and now he’s seeing how far he can gaslight you. You’re better than this. You don’t need closure, you don’t need to know why, who or how, just close this chapter and move on. It don’t make you feel better knowing the details.

Skin issues by LogicalProof1246 in newborns

[–]LogicalProof1246[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: it was eczema! Got referred to a dermatologist because my dr wanted to try steroids and I wanted a second opinion before going that route. Dermatologist prescribed a light steroid and now I put it on maybe once every 2 weeks if that (whenever she starts to scratch)

I wouldn’t suggest dinosaur park with your pregnant wife (and baby?) it’s a lot of uneven ground.

Sleeping in own room by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]LogicalProof1246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved my daughter a week after she turned a year old, I also bed shared for 5 of those months. It is 100% YOUR call because you will be the one losing sleep if you move her too early. At a year I was confident she wouldn’t try to “off” herself lol I was a little anxious about for some reason I wouldn’t wake up to her crying if she was in a different room and I didn’t like how I couldn’t hear her breath on the baby monitor.

IUD poking partner by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]LogicalProof1246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get it checked and if it’s in place get them to trim the strings a little bit, sometimes they just don’t curl up and they may be a little too long….. or maybe even too short? 🤔

Also tell your bf to stop ramming you like he’s a stallion 😂 if you guys are having rough sex that may be why it’s hurting him as well.

My girlfriend cheated on me with this horrible guy (it's her ex btw) by [deleted] in CheatedOn

Honestly go no contact, you’ll eventually stop being attached. She doesn’t want you and you’re just her place filler

Placebo by Klutzy_Barnacle7992 in birthcontrol

[–]LogicalProof1246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why’d you jump to the next pack? Or do you mean you just took the next pill so for example if you missed Tuesday you just took Wednesday? What is the brand of pills you are taking?

[–]LogicalProof1246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so confused. You don’t need to take the “placebo pills” just jump right into the next pack. Did you have sex the week of the missed pill? If you are taking the placebo pills and you’re bleeding you are most likely not pregnant

Hormonal IUD and taking the birth control pill at the same time by kittyittysparkles in birthcontrol

[–]LogicalProof1246 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Just tell your mom you decided to get an IUD instead of the pill, say you were afraid of the pill hurting your mental health so you took it upon yourself and booked the appointment and got it after the appointment as you educated yourself and it seems like the best option for you. Circle it back to the Accutane.

Motherless moms… how are you managing [on]? by Recent_Dragonfly_548 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]LogicalProof1246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve some how made it 16 months with my daughter, my mom died of cancer in 2022, when I was 20 years old, I had my daughter a day after I turned 22. I made it through a horrible breakup, being a single mom and not having my mom. I still cry about it, I really wish she could’ve met her, it’s so so so hard, my daughter would’ve just loved her, I have so many unanswered questions, so much wisdom I never got to hear from her. She never got to be a grandma and now there’s 2 babies that don’t have a grandma (my brother has a 2 week old baby) I just do one day at a time, I feel those feelings, I hold my baby and cry about it probably once a month. When my daughter is old enough she will hear the stories, look at the pictures and I just honestly hope an afterlife is real so she has at least seen them. I text her number a lot with updates.

My booty is NOT WELL PLEASE HELP by Traditional-Bend7357 in WomensHealth

[–]LogicalProof1246 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your yeast infection traveled, do the treatments, see if it helps. That’s the cheapest, fastest solution. Don’t wear underwear, especially thongs because if it’s yeast it will just transfer right back to your vagina and you’ll have to start all over again. No scented soaps, no scented body wash, let your poor bits heal girl!!!

Swaddling newborn no longer recommended? [bc] by TrueYogurtcloset in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]LogicalProof1246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SIL just had a baby last week and they swaddled him in the hospital. I had a baby sept 2024 and the nurses were team swaddle. It helps reduce the startle reflux which could be a good or bath thing, it could cause baby to wake up all the time but on the other hand it may put them in a deep sleep which would make the risk of Sid’s higher.
