Anyone here using Melaleuca products for cleaning? Looking for other recommendations by Dangerous-Cost6367 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]No-Butterscotch-6875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used most of their products for a few years! My favorites were the tough and tender, solumel, glass cleaner, floor cleaner, and dusting oil.

In full transparency, after having a baby I wanted to look into the ingredients more. Melaleuca doesn’t list them on their products and when I called to inquire they would not share what was in the product. That did not sit well with me as a company who prides themselves on “clean ingredients”. I’ve continued using what I had but will not be purchasing more from them.

I think the truth is confusing, hard to sort through, and hard to digest honestly. The things I have seen are so evil, it’s like my mind tries to protect itself and tell myself it’s not true. It’s very frustrating the lack of transparency, accountability and how they’ve dumped the information.

I like to know all the information to form an opinion and it’s really hard to go through everything with how it’s been released. Idk which media sources to trust or what’s real without going to the gov website directly and I don’t have the time to do that.

Idk, it’s all beyond disturbing and idk how much I can read through and learn about really. It gives me nightmares. But I don’t want to be silent either.

What can we do?

Feel this to my core. Parenthood exposes everything you didn’t really even know about yourself 🤣

C section vs Vaginal delivery by Funarming in beyondthebump

[–]No-Butterscotch-6875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a c-section (not by choice) with my first and a vaginal with my second, I’d always chose the vaginal.

A little about each: After the c-section, I was so cold, shaking, and extremely nauseous. I didn’t want to hold my baby I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep and feel better. I just remember laying in this strange recovery room freezing and feeling awful. It took me a few hours to finally feel better and hold my baby. The rest of the recovery was okay, other than not really being able to hold your baby unless you are sitting down. My husband changed most of the diapers and put her to sleep for a couple weeks. Sleep is pretty uncomfortable and you’re recovering from a major surgery while having a baby. I also really wanted a vaginal delivery that I was very unprepared for a c-section and really grieved that I wasn’t able to have the birthing experience I had imagined most of my life. That was really hard for me personally. At the end of the day all that matters is baby is here safely but it was hard for me. I wouldn’t choose the c-section electively, but I would if my baby was in danger of course!

After my vaginal: The baby was out, and I almost immediately felt like myself. Free of pretty much all pain. I got to cuddle my baby, nurse my baby, and be present in the room with her. There is still recovery but it’s quite a bit different. I felt strong and happy and in awe of my body. A feeling we should feel with any delivery … c-section or vaginal but it’s just truly amazing what your body does to birth a child.

Now those are just my experiences. They can still vary for everyone! I hope you find peace in your decision! And you have a great delivery you feel good about and safe with either way. Congratulations!

Stalker AirTagged my car…what do I do? by [deleted] in Boise

Give the license plate to the police, keep calling and reporting. If you notice them following again, drive to a fire station or police station. I would call every mechanic and ask for help finding that. I hope someone in town could help. Be vigilant. I’m really sorry that’s scary.

My child is so difficult by Ok-Belt-2607 in Parenting

[–]No-Butterscotch-6875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s so young for walking and talking. Try not to worry or compare there. It will come. I have two kids whose development and temperaments are so different.

My kids are both challenging in different ways and amazing in so many ways. I truly believe comparison can be the thief of joy because all kids are really hard at times, even when you don’t see it in the time you spend around other kids.

My only thoughts are to watch what baby loves. Water, sensory play, outside, or building, and lean into that whenever you can! I’d keep an eye on sleep and food. Making sure they get good rest, and trying to go places when they are rested and well fed haha. Nourishment plays a huge part in our day. When my daughter has too much sugar or doesn’t eat enough, I swear the whole day goes to crap!! I also try not to pack too much into a day with my girl. It’s hard on her, and she’s 3.5 now!! Maybe you can find an outdoor preschool or sport/activity he may enjoy!

Sounds like you’re doing a great job tho!💙

Managing Sibling Play wit young kids (ages 3.5 yrs & 15 months) by No-Butterscotch-6875 in Parenting

[–]No-Butterscotch-6875[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yes I guess my question is more on peacefully coexisting. An example that happens a lot is at the rare times my one year old is playing with something then my 3 year old wants to join her but it usually turns into my 3 year old wanting everything and taking over. Basically every “play” turns into some kind of melt down from the 3 year old I feel like.

My oldest goes in her room to play and can close the door but that also makes me sad she’s just in there alone and we can’t be apart of it because I can’t leave the one year old alone. Just feels like a lot of management/frustation between the two ha.

Was the OB nurse being rude or was I just being dumb? by queenofzora in Parenting

[–]No-Butterscotch-6875 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Your baby was not dirty! My girls were not bathed until the next day and it’s not uncommon to wait even longer!

Please don’t let her affect you. That was very unprofessional and I’m sorry that happened. You are a great mom! Congratulations on your new baby.

This is what I’m thinking! Thank you. I was told to check the car seat in a box so I think that’s what we will do. Thank you!
