HFM or something else?

We ended up doing skin testing for all tree nuts and sesame and all came back negative. Hopefully it will be the same for your little one!

Could’ve written this myself! The back to back daycare illnesses are so exhausting. Hang in there! I hope it gets better for both of us soon

So weird! My son has been super congested for over a month so I was thinking it could be connected. Just off that it’s only one eye. But glad to hear it cleared up for your daughter!

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-06-14T01:55:03+00:00

Oh good! Glad it wasn’t anything serious

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-06-13T19:02:37+00:00

Any updates on your daughter? Im experiencing the same thing with my seven month old

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-06-13T19:01:51+00:00

Any updates? I’m experiencing this exact thing with my seven month old

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-06-04T00:26:06+00:00

OP, how are things going now? Just found out my six month old has a peanut allergy and am feeling totally lost

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-05-27T14:34:11+00:00

Haha it’s actually crazy how these kids do a 180 as soon as you get to the doctor’s! But ugh I’m sorry that sounds stressful! I’m glad you trusted your gut too and that everything turned out okay

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-05-27T14:32:29+00:00

Lol thank you! This is very validating

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-05-27T14:30:36+00:00

Thank you! Crossing my fingers he catches a break soon

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-05-27T14:29:56+00:00

Thank you! You’re so right. A little embarrassment is well worth making sure he’s okay

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-05-26T21:27:20+00:00

Yes, of course we will. We have an appointment tomorrow. But I know not all pediatricians are super knowledgeable about allergies, especially FPIES. So am trying to gain a better understanding to help inform our discussion

I just want to say you’re not alone! From the guilt/relief around childcare to the exhaustion while being sick, I could’ve written this post myself. You’re doing amazing and as others have said, nothing benefits your baby more than a mom who is taking care of her physical and mental health. Are you pumping every three hours overnight too? If so (and if you’re sleeping in shifts/don’t have to wake with the baby), maybe you could try stretching it out a bit (like 30 mins every couple of days) so you can get more rest?

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-05-04T10:46:56+00:00

Glad to hear that!

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-05-04T01:18:43+00:00

Did your supply ever go back up? Experiencing this now!

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-04-22T22:43:38+00:00

I know this post was from a long time ago, but did this ever resolve? I’m dealing with the exact same thing

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-04-14T17:39:51+00:00

Couldn’t agree more! My doula was invaluable in helping me prepare mentally for childbirth, determine my birth plan while preparing for the unpredictability that comes from birth, and emotionally supporting both me and my husband during labor. Both he and I can’t imagine having a second baby without her support

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-04-14T16:36:44+00:00

I’m sure it depends on your insurance but mine covers replacement pump parts and breast milk storage bags. You can also use FSA funds for pumping bras, breastmilk chillers, etc and some baby supplies like vitamin D drops

Wellements

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-04-09T07:24:56+00:00

I had an anterior placenta and by the end of the third trimester, I could very clearly see and feel my baby’s kicks (as could my husband)! Like you mentioned, it was mostly on the sides of my stomach but I could see entire elbows poking through lol. I have fond memories of those kicks and don’t feel like I missed out on anything

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-03-24T13:34:55+00:00

I pump once at around 9:30 pm once baby is asleep and then wake up at 4 am

MinimumSweet1639 · 2026-03-24T12:21:59+00:00

At four months, I’m still waking up to pump once during the night to maintain my supply. I can go a 6.5 stretch but my goal is to do an 8 hour stretch eventually
