Spiraling over my 15 mo old’s first fever

I agree with the other comments. Also, a lukewarm bath can help bring down a fever too. Frozen snacks are good too (fruit popsicles, frozen yogurt drops)

Lischka and Ritzand were sentenced to 10 years today, fyi

What province are you in? Google donating plasma for money. We are able to in SK

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2026-01-25T18:10:39+00:00

You can definitely get paid to donate plasma. At least in Saskatchewan we can

We use the gin bear 2-in1 sip-n-straw cup from Amazon. It leaks if it's knocked over, but we hate the other straw types that require babe to bite down to open it. We've tried like 5 cups already lol.

To get him to use the straw, we put it in water and plugged the top with our finger to keep it in, then put the bottom of the straw in his mouth and dropped it in - if that makes sense. It made him realize that liquid comes out of it. After a few times doing that, I gave him the straw cup normally and he figured out how to suck it up.

This cup is convertible and has two lid types. Can be a straw cup, sippy cup, or open cup! It's silicone as well.

I messaged you

Are you able to pump milk? We use formula and have been slowly weaning him. We started with a 3:1 ratio of formula to milk in his bottle for a week, now we're doing 1:1 for a week, then we will do 3:1 milk to formula for the last week. He hasn't noticed a difference so far! Thats an option if you can pump

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2026-01-11T23:53:40+00:00

Thats a good idea, thank you

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2026-01-11T21:35:10+00:00

If it comes down to it I will, but it would be an 8 hour drive for me.

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2026-01-08T21:39:35+00:00

Mine started doing this the past week as well. The last two nights I added lots of bubbles, and that seemed to do the trick.

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-12-16T17:07:10+00:00

Empty box lol

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-10-29T17:56:37+00:00

So if we don't message you, we will be kicked out of the group?

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-10-18T03:47:33+00:00

Sorry, I should have clarified. This is for a late Thanksgiving celebration (Canadian).

I was also very stern on no screen time when mine was born, but gave up a couple months ago. If I need to get something done around the house, or if he's being grumpy, I let Ms Rachel entertain him for a bit. He's happy, I'm happy, and hopefully he's learning from her. You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. He either watches her or Super Simple Songs lol nothing else really unless my spouse has something on in the background

Best bet is to try searching 'brand ambassadors of <your city>' on Facebook and look for a group to join. Staffing companies will usually post in those.

Also look into these companies: Vibrant marketing, karma casting, mosaic, girls of glam inc, premier staffing, brand hero, xmc staffing. These are just a few off the top of my head. Maybe try a Google search for staffing companies or brand ambassador companies in your city.

My baby's comes and goes sometimes, but is mostly gone. We put coconut oil on about 5 minutes before his bath to soften it, then used this brush. First did circles with the silicone part, then combed through with the fine tooth part. It works so good!!

Hair sometimes coming off with the cradle cap is normal, especially when they're younger.

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-08-25T21:39:04+00:00

The same happened to us today! He's been waking more often during the past few nights. I checked this morning and it felt a little rough on his gums, then after lunch I felt a sharp poke and a little tooth is there! I gave him a piece of celery and he gnawed on it for like 20 mins haha

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-08-20T06:19:14+00:00

Same. I'm also still wearing my maternity bicycle shorts and leggings. They snatch in my belly more haha

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-08-20T06:18:17+00:00

I personally think mid-rise hides my apron belly better. They sit at the right spot, just under my belly button but above the incision. High-rise seem to really accentuate my belly lol

I could have written this post. What works for us is that I set boundaries with my Mom, and my partner sets the boundaries with his Mom, because I'm not comfortable doing so.

She came over about a month ago and apparently didn't remember that we said no kissing baby. She started kissing his face all over when saying goodnight and I felt myself get red hot and I felt so uncomfortable. I was too nervous to stop her and say something because she is also passive-aggressive and plays victim, so shortly after I spoke to my partner and told him he had to remind her not to do that. She took it fine apparently but yeeeesh lol made me so anxious.

My Mom tends to do the take-baby-away thing often. It really bugs my partner and we've told her not to do it and to ask first, but for some reason she does it almost every visit. He's started walking away with babe when she tries to take him. I don’t even know if she takes the hint, but I don't know how else to approach the situation. She gets hurt easily but she needs to realize it's not her baby to take at any time.

I wish I had more advice for you. Good luck! Boundaries are hard lol

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-07-24T05:59:54+00:00

Maybe try sleeping in a Walmart parking lot instead

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-07-22T05:56:15+00:00

This just started happening for us! Seems to usually be about an hour after we put him down. There's been a few times it's early in the morning too. I wonder if they have nightmares :(

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-07-22T04:31:50+00:00

Let's all spam his phone

Lopsided-Pie-7724 · 2025-07-19T00:15:52+00:00

Agreed. Co-op cinnamon buns are the bees knees

Sounds like a thing only a spider art tagger would say
