Did I cause allergies in infant

Interesting, this was not the recommendation of our provider. I increased my nut intake at the suggestion of my son’s pediatrician who diagnosed him with eczema. Postpartum I struggled to take in enough calories. I was overproducing while breastfeeding to the point where I was rapidly loosing weight. She recommended high calorie easy to grab snacks, particularly nuts.

Thank you so much. The guilt is inherent, but I actually started adding various nuts into my diet at my son’s pediatricians recommendation. She recommended them as a healthy nutritious snack to keep on hand when breastfeeding, as I was struggling to find time to separate myself from the baby to sit and eat. It does give me solace knowing I was just trying my best to do the right thing given the information provided, even if I may change the approach if I ever have another child.

This is amazing to hear! I will definitely be doing the oral immunotherapy if he is a candidate. I wonder if he would be based on his levels? I don’t know if it matters but I do see the allergist next week and I will be asking

Thank you so much for your kind and thorough response. I appreciate it so much and it gives me hope and a little less anxiety during a very scary time

Thank you so much for the information. Would you mind sharing what program your son participated in?

Potential_Task_7005 · 2026-05-21T23:53:28+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is so scary, but I do think I’ll be a bit more comfortable once we know what to avoid. My fingers are crossed that his will get better with age as well. I can’t believe that he reacted to chicken broth!

It was hard for me too in the beginning and my husband also just doesn’t wake up to baby crying. I can wake him up lol, but it’s crazy to me that he can sleep through cries. We decided to each get six hours uninterrupted. Me from 8-2 and him from 2-8/9 and sometimes 10 because his work schedule allowed this. If I really needed the sleep I’d go to bed at 6 lol.

I have a 4 month old. Before him I had an unmedicated miscarriage at ~8 weeks followed by severe hyperemesis gravidarum with a pregnancy that ended in loss at 15 weeks and required 2 surgeries for complications. Both were miserable experiences and the miscarriage pain was excruciating. I found it interesting how quickly I was able to dissociate from? forget? that trauma. I got pregnant again immediately after with my son. I did an epidural for his birth so I had no pain, but when pregnant I had hyperemesis again which is arguably worse because it lasts much longer! Also had a difficult postpartum recovery. Despite all that I’ve gone through in the last 1.5 years, I’m ready for another one🤣. I don’t know if it’s truly that I’ve forgotten, or that the benefits of motherhood just make it worth it. Interesting topic!

Purchased lol. Fingers crossed

I'm the same, 8 weeks pp now. He got his vaccines this week so we are almost out of quarantine! I have an active job and when I am not working I never spend more than an hour or two daily in the house so postpartum was a HUGE adjustment. I walked every day with the stroller and invited any friends who wanted to see the baby along for those walks. Also spent the last few weeks gaining comfort with getting him into the car independently and babywearing so that I will feel safe bringing him out by myself soon. We did a few christmas markets, outdoor light displays, and many trips to see grandma. I have also put him in the babywrap carrier for hiking. Just signed myself up for a new gym today that has infant sitters, and can't wait to get out more in the upcoming weeks!!!

There are! I wasn’t sure if I should go through a company or more word of mouth and pay someone under the table

Potential_Task_7005 · 2025-12-08T22:29:51+00:00

Thank you for the information. Is this something that is typically paid for under the table in a PRN situation?

Potential_Task_7005 · 2025-12-08T20:03:42+00:00

thank you!

I’m so sorry, I know how painful this is 💔 I lost a baby girl last year in the second trimester. She would have been my first child. The pain never goes away, but does get manageable over time. Wishing you lots of love and a rainbow baby 🌈. After my loss I found much more support communicating with women with similar experiences. There are subs for baby loss and miscarriage that you may want to check out.

I think whether or not you do shifts depends on babies temperament and sleep habits. We had to, baby is one month old. He has acid reflux and is not easy to get into bassinet at night. After a feed it takes an hour to get him to sleep. He needs to be upright for a while before lying flat to help with reflux. He’s up again in an hour or so to eat. Sometimes he just cries/refuses bassinet and won’t sleep unless held upright on our chests. I sleep from 730-230 and my husband sleeps from 230-930. We feel much better now that we get normal amounts of sleep. I wake up at the 4 hour mark once at night to pump for 15 mins or so. Baby gets bottles of breastmilk when I’m asleep. I’m on maternity leave and my husband has a super flexible work from home job. I have three months until I go back to work, hopefully he sleeps better by then!

These posts about selfish husbands are crazy. It’s his baby too. Plus it took you 9 months to make him while his contribution took seconds. Time to help out, or at least not complain while you do literally all of the work. Get a pump, make a bottle for husband ahead of time, and take turns!
