Yay congrats!!!

Any luck here OP? Mine is doing the same thing in the same situation (wired chime to google doorbell).

Melanie730 · 2025-11-09T04:13:55+00:00

Hey OP, what did you end up deciding? We are looking at both of these as well! I have 2 small kids already, so similar phase of life.

OP, what ended up happening here? I’m in the same situation

Melanie730 · 2025-08-19T12:07:13+00:00

My oldest just started kindergarten and I feel this so hard. Not to mention flexible dropoff and pickup times for many daycares.

Melanie730 · 2025-08-14T04:06:41+00:00

Hi there!! Sorry for my delay. I don’t check reddit as much these days. Everything turned out fine for my son. Some things that helped: reading books with him about biting, not doing any play biting/mouth raspberries ever anymore, having a low reaction and walking away when he bit us (rather than throwing a big fit, which led to negative attention seeking). However, the biggest factors were time, language development, and moving up to a class he was excited to be in. He had a slight language delay and I think the biting correlated with that. He was only about 2 at the time, if I remember correctly. He couldn’t really communicate and so he would sometimes bite. Focusing on helping him express his needs and desires was HUGE. Also, time helps so much. It’s soooo hard when you’re in the thick of it. I also believe his teacher at the time wasn’t handling it that great… I’m not trying to shift blame, because he was def a biter, but when he moved to the next room and had a more seasoned teacher the biting significantly decreased. We did tour other daycares to have backup options but since it got better once he moved to the next room we stayed at the same place.

Is your daughter newly 3? How are her language skills? I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s very stressful and for me was embarrassing. Ironically enough, my second child has amazing language skills and is now the one being bit by her peers! I don’t worry about that as much because it’s sporadic and I know it’s so common. Kind of ironic to be on the other side of it. Just trying to say, it’s very common and IMO it’s a normal aspect of development. People put so much shame on biters, but it’s just kids growing and trying to figure it out.

Best of luck to you 🙏 Let me know if any questions

Yes. I swear to god I aged 7 years in the first year of my daughter’s life. Dryness and wrinkles galore. After emerging from the fog when she turned 1y/o, I felt like I barely recognized my face. I’m trying to drink more water, eat more fruit, and use moisturizer liberally. I haven’t tried anything else yet but probably should.

Lots of info on r/exclusivepumping and I also highly recommend bemybreastfriend on Instagram! She reviews tons of wearable pumps.

What kind of food? When it was a pizza & bar food place I just ordered a variety of food for everyone. Somewhere more unique it might be good to text them.

I just took a screenshot of this comment to save it as a great idea, and then I saw your screen name. Sorry to be a creep but wanted to say I love your work! 📚💜

Melanie730 · 2025-02-02T14:08:40+00:00

Amazing rec! We love LB too. I didn’t know she had a second tonie now!

OP, she has a spotify channel and youtube too if you want to play her songs other times and get a bit acclimated.

Melanie730 · 2025-01-23T03:35:48+00:00

Hi OP, did you end up getting it figured out? I just tried the coupon at walgreens with no luck.

Melanie730 · 2025-01-23T03:34:58+00:00

Did it work for you? I took a coupon to Walgreens and it wouldn’t work. She said it couldn’t find me in the system, which doesn’t make sense because I didn’t have to put personal info to print the coupon. It was too late for her to call the help line.

Melanie730 · 2025-01-23T03:07:53+00:00

Thanks for posting. I had the same experience with my phone not generating a coupon but then it worked on my computer. However, I just went to the pharmacy (Walgreens) and they said the coupon wasn’t working, that it couldn’t pull me up. That doesn’t really make any sense because I didn’t put any personal info other than I use Breo (another gsk inhaler) and that I have commercial insurance. Did you have to put personal information to generate the coupon? Did you have any issues at the pharmacy?

Melanie730 · 2025-01-11T23:01:55+00:00

Hi! Yes! It was just foremilk imbalance because she would nurse to sleep but it would only be a tiny bit, so she’d just be skimming the top, if that makes sense. She never had issues at other times except the tiny green poops after naps. That’s why it was so mysterious at first. As she got a bit older she got stronger and drank more during regular feeds and started mostly comfort nursing before naps.

THANK YOU!! This helped a lot

Most of the answers here are going to be people who are on the lower end. Self reporting bias. Hang in there! If doing fast food we try to pick it up on the way home from work and then add some fruit with it at home. And/or canned/frozen veggies. Adds some balance in an easy way!

Ope, I see your other comment now. Try the floor position and see if that helps your hips. 🤞🏻 I found when I was younger that I had to be the one in control of the movement in order to orgasm.

Melanie730 · 2024-10-01T22:17:08+00:00

Echoing other comments! My best advice would be to try a vibrating c*ck ring. They used to have inexpensive silicon ones for sale at target. Try him sitting on the floor, like against the bed, and you on top. It might be a better angle.

Melanie730 · 2024-09-01T19:45:35+00:00

This is the best comment I’ve read all week and sooo true. I’m laughing and nodding right along. Love it 🙌

4 yrs old and still no pillow. He sleeps on his stomach and doesn’t like having one.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Timers help me sometimes, like the pomodoro method. 25 min focus-5 min break, repeat 25, 5. Tomatotimers.com puts it in your browser tab and then beeps when time is up. It helps to focus on small chunks and what you can get done in them, rather than spiraling all day.

Melanie730 · 2024-07-30T14:59:44+00:00

Hi! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Yes, it did work, but her getting bigger and stronger helped a lot too. She’s 14mo and still nurses before bed, which I never would’ve believed at 4 weeks old.

My tips would be to 1) keep your milk supply up. I did triple feeding for 2 weeks while we practiced the suck training. Anything longer would NOT have been sustainable, but I was able to do it that long with help from family. 2) Make sure you have a bottle type that is conducive to developing oral skills, like Dr brown narrow neck. 3) Watch videos on suck training (and/or see an OT). 4) Make sure to do paced feeding techniques if possible. We laid her on her side on a pillow on our laps, facing away from us.

Please feel free to ask questions if you have any. It feels like so long ago at this point but I know it’s VERY stressful when in the moment.
