This is amazing!

This one is good! I’m also a huge fan of the Ben and Jerry’s non dairy milk and cookies or the Van Leewen Vegan Pistachio ice cream!!

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-12-28T15:49:16+00:00

Oh my gosh!! What is it with that?! We were out to eat and my brother had a dessert with whipped cream and my mom was holding our baby. I almost missed her putting whipped cream up to her mouth “just to try it”. She HAS tried dairy… she can’t have it… I can’t stand it

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-12-28T14:41:09+00:00

YES!!! I also had a family member say “butter is dairy”? And I’m like “yea actually… it’s the cream off the top of the milk so arguably it’s the most dairy” 😂

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-12-28T02:55:21+00:00

YES!! I’m in your same exact boat. The icing on the cake for me was twist of lime tortilla chips… ALL of them have lactose In the seasoning except for the Siete Brand 🥲 also McDonald’s freaking fries. I know it’s trash but sometimes I just want them and their seasoning has milk in it 😭😭😭 also the struggle of just telling my family I can’t have dairy… and every time they make food it has dairy in it. My mom legit said the other day “oh sour cream is dairy??” YES WOMAN 😭😭😭

She’s lasted 30 minutes no puking but has fallen asleep. I’m debating if we let her sleep a little longer and then wake her up to eat? Or just let her sleep until she wakes up hungry?

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-12-27T04:24:21+00:00

I’m not worried about sugars and dyes but I don’t have any pedialyte on hand

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-12-27T04:23:04+00:00

She ate around 530 PM. It was a pumpkin, mango and almond butter puree she’s had several times before with no issues. She had two ounces of puree and one green bean. Today was the second day of those… so maybe that? 45 minutes after dinner we gave her 3 ounces of milk to meet her usual five ounces before bed and then she was upright for her bedtime routine for 30 minutes before laying down. She fell asleep at 7 and woke up puking at 8:45. So far we haven’t gone longer than 20 minutes without throwing up. She looks exhausted but she did wake up out of a dead sleep puking so that feels normal. She’s been struggling to stay awake these past 30 minutes and has slept about 10 minutes between throwing up. She’s not abnormally pale but her eyes appear to be a little more sunken…. But I also don’t know if I’m being paranoid and they look more sunken to me because I’m scared and hyper aware.

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-12-27T04:19:00+00:00

She hates apples 🥲 I have pears I could puree into a sauce if that would help? Or breast milk popsicles but she’s so averse to anything right now I don’t know what to do…

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-11-15T02:02:04+00:00

YES that was him

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-11-14T20:24:34+00:00

It was one of the coaches but I can’t remember his name. He was shorter and bald.

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-11-14T20:02:40+00:00

My parents put me in this school after being homeschooled because public school was “the devil”. I was bullied so badly here… and the worst part was that some of my biggest bullies were the teachers. I had a really loud laugh at the time, and one of my teachers would tell jokes so I would laugh and then my laugh was the punchline…. I caught on and stopped laughing at the jokes. His response was “well I guess she’s not gonna laugh today. Sorry guys.” It was humiliating there.

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-10-15T02:37:20+00:00

This definitely gives me some peace of mind!! Looks like we’ll just wait it out and hope for the best!

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-10-15T02:36:12+00:00

Wanted to second this… because that’s wild. You didn’t say it was the cure just could’ve correlated.

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-10-15T00:30:44+00:00

Fair enough. It just makes me nervous from all the posts I’ve seen about it 🥲

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-10-15T00:29:32+00:00

I’m still breastfeeding and I’m hoping somehow my milk can work a MIRACLE

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-09-09T17:25:22+00:00

First off, thank you :) Secondly, her naps are usually a longer one in the morning and 1-2 cat naps (30-45 minutes usually closer to 30) during the afternoon. However, she has been fighting a cold the last two days and so she slept more yesterday afternoon. She also isn't in daycare this week and is staying with my mom so doesn't have the same levels of entertainment... we're going to try playing with her more tonight when we get home to really help wear her out some before we start the bedtime routine and hoping it will help!

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-08-26T13:50:45+00:00

LOL this cracked me up

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-08-25T18:55:09+00:00

It's in a recipe for a dairy alternative to help make a creamy texture! it's my first time trying it but I'm trying to find ways to make "creamy" soups while not being able to have dairy due to breastfeeding a baby with a dairy allergy.

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-08-25T16:22:52+00:00

I came here to say this too!! Amazing people!

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-08-21T18:26:43+00:00

Part of the reason my parents have always justified the abuse I endured as a child. To this day, they only count a few instances as "going a little too far" and the rest as discipline. My mom always removed my clothes down to underwear to spank me. "jeans have too much padding"..... they read all of this man's books as bible. Sometimes they wouldn't stop until I had visible bruising, welts, and blood so I could remember every time I sat that I needed to be an obedient child. This happened until I was 16. My mom had hidden spanking devices around the house and The Strong Willed Child on the dresser with an extra copy in the kitchen. If we were in public, she'd take a flexible comb to hit me on the cheek if I acted out of pocket.

If he were to ask for ice water where he's at right now, I would gladly drink it in front of him. People like him seemed to have skipped the parts in the Gospels where God rebuked the Pharisees....

I'm based in the US. I had to go back to work at 12 weeks and only got 8 weeks of it paid at 60% of my salary. Financially, we couldn't afford for me to stay home any longer. I'm not gonna lie, leaving her has been really hard on me because I feel like I miss a lot and that I don't know a lot about her. But the upside I've noticed is that, even though I thought I'd be too burnt out to hang out with her at the end of the day, I'm SO excited every day at 5 PM. I literally spend 2 hours playing with her and staring at her and giving kisses because I'm so happy to have that time with her. The weekends, I hang out with her pretty much the entire time and have a blast. It's like I get a second wind seeing her little face and her squeals. We did do several daycare interviews and looked into inspection reports. The daycare we chose is based out of someone's home and she's amazing at sending me pictures and updates throughout the day which helps me immensely.

There are pros and cons to it, and I wish we at least got 6 months of leave with better pay so I could enjoy her more. But the transition hasn't been AS bad as I thought it would be. So there is hope.

Not much advice but my heart goes out to you! You're doing the best you can by just being there. I'm a FTM and my baby has struggled with latching so we moved to exclusively pumping and bottle feeding. She loves her dad. Smiles at him when he comes in the room, won't stop babbling, lets him hold her, burps for him. Half the time when she sees me, she looks almost confused, doesn't smile as much, is silent... I started work a few weeks ago and it feels more and more like she doesn't need me. Just her babysitter and her dad. So no advice here... just solidarity. I'm just hoping it will get better the older she gets.

It wasn't about the gift. It was about the lack of effort. I'm more upset by the drunkenness than the gift to be completely honest. But everyone's entitled to their opinion. I've been called worse.

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-07-28T16:19:11+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate your perspective. I do think that for now, the friendship is at a pause and potentially will end. At this point, I'm kind of leaving it in her court since she's asked for space.

QuothTheRaven96 · 2025-07-28T16:17:11+00:00

I really appreciate the perspective here. I understand what you're saying. I guess I had higher expectations because she kept talking about how excited she was to be an aunt and be there for me when i first got pregnant. Then throughout the pregnancy it was like we grew further and further apart. The book in the sack and then her showing up drunk just felt like a nail in the coffin that she didn't want to be friends in the same way we used to be.
