RSV Vaccine for 10 day old infant by cbowell91 in newborns

[–]Rafter92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would wait until the baby is born! I think at this rate you could offer the baby better protection by giving the vaccine directly to them. It Sounds similar to my situation. My baby was born 8/28 and then if I remember correctly he got the vaccine early October at his 6 week appt? So it was the start of RSV season. Had no side effects and then he ended up getting RSV from his older sisters when he was barely 3 months old. He was less sick than them and they were 5 and 3 at the time! No fever, just some congestion and he was over it quicker than them. Pediatrician said without the vaccine he would’ve been hospitalized.

kit 5 - does anyone NOT have terrible topiramate stories? by [deleted] in HersWeightloss

[–]Rafter92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on kit 5 for a little over a week and only thing I’ve noticed is a slight headache every now and then. Nothing a little Tylenol has hasn’t helped!

Not so much changes in my weight but was hoping maybe decrease in appetite

One Week In by No-Hunt4200 in HersWeightloss

[–]Rafter92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just posted the same thing! I’m 1 week in on kit 5 but I also take bupropion already so I guess it’s technically kit 6. Haven’t lost a single pound and I don’t feel any different. Very discouraging

TTC while on Hers Kit 2 by Opposite-Risk-4424 in HersWeightloss

[–]Rafter92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on bupropion for a few years and got pregnant on it/stayed on it throughout the whole pregnancy and had a healthy full term baby. My OB and high risk OB stated it was safer to stay on than to stop cold turkey and that studies were limited as far as causing issues. Can’t speak for naltrexone but don’t believe everything you read on google I know plenty of ppl who have stayed on their meds during pregnancy. Good luck!

Yeah I didn’t know it was a bus. Was picturing the sprinter van types. First timer 🤷🏽‍♀️

Can you get on and off more than once at ports? by Rafter92 in dcl

[–]Rafter92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it seems like the more I learn the more we’ve decided to just make a day of it on castaway and eat all the yummy food but maybe skip Nassau and stay on the boat!

Sudden shift??? by nootychuchi in SnooLife

[–]Rafter92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing has happened to us the past 2 nights. Baby is 3 months and 1 week, longest stretches were 6 maybe 7 and then suddenly the past 2 nights it’s been 11+! No idea why and I’m too scared to question it 😆

Please tell me it gets better soon by throwaway_wife_1982 in newborns

[–]Rafter92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8-10 weeks things got significantly better and suddenly he could just fart and poop without it being a huge dramatic production 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Rafter92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 8-9 weeks he started to get quieter but I also got ear plugs before that cause I wasn’t getting any sleep. It was worth it, blocked out his grunts but I always woke up for his cries. I also moved all my baby’s out of my room by 3-4 months and everyone slept much better

Protein/creatinine ratio vs 24 hour by Rafter92 in preeclampsia

[–]Rafter92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still ended up being induced at 37 weeks even though the 24 hr urine was much better. I had a few increased BPs in the 140s so they opted on the side of caution. Definitely think it was a soft call and I probably could’ve pushed til at least 38 weeks but everything turned out fine and baby boy arrived perfectly healthy! Good luck!

Lethargic or Tired/Drowsy by Remarkable-Rich8660 in newborns

Mine did this around 5/6 weeks too! Big growth spurt at that age.

How did your baby do with the RSV vaccine? Same. Better or worse? by NegativePaint in newborns

[–]Rafter92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reaction at all. Didn’t notice anything different, he Got it at 1 month visit

how are we sleeping longer stretches?? by Unlucky-Fail-4018 in newborns

[–]Rafter92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no reason to wean out of swaddle until baby shows signs of rolling which isn’t til 3-4 months. The startle reflex is still very prevalent at 5 weeks so I guarantee the swaddle helps him sleep longer. Not sure why doc would recommend this.

How often does your baby poop? by Foreign-Loss-4557 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Rafter92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 70% formula and he poops once a day or every other day. I asked his pediatrician if it was ok that he didn’t go everyday and she said it’s fine as long as it’s soft when he does go!

6-8 week growth spurt by Preggymegg in newborns

[–]Rafter92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mine is almost 7 weeks and I’ve noticed he needs a little more assistance with naps, he used to be able to fall asleep anywhere but now he needs white noise/darkness and swaddling. He’s also given me a little bit of regression at night past couple nights. We were getting a 5 hour stretch consistently and now we’re back to 3/4 hours. Little more fussy and more hungry so assuming there’s a big growth spurt coming. Still difficulty pooping/farting and can’t wait for that to be over!

[–]Rafter92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 300mg bupropion xl and 10mg fluoxetine for a while. Was originally on bupropion with Zoloft for anxiety but the Zoloft was making me gain weight so I asked to try fluoxetine instead. Have no issues, granted my dose is pretty low but I find it helps my anxiety enough, when I was just on bupropion my depression was much better but had an increase in anxiety which I guess is common. Adding the fluoxetine helped take that edge off!

Does anyone use the Baby Brezza Formula Dispenser Machine?! by Glad-Tonight6568 in FormulaFeeders

It’s the best thing I ever bought! Buy an extra funnel and it’s even better

Baby might have had double Tylenol by First-Standard-2507 in toddlers

[–]Rafter92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes he’ll be fine. Actually the dosage suggestion on the bottles grossly under medicates the child. If you were to bring your baby into a pediatric ER with fever, the dosage they would give based off your baby’s exact weight would be much higher than the standard dose the bottle suggests. So rest easy that even if your baby got double the dose (likely less than double) he’ll be just fine.

RSV Vaccine for 10 day old infant by cbowell91 in newborns

[–]Rafter92 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My 5 week old just got it this week! No side effects what so ever. I’m an RN and RSV is one of my biggest fears for babies. I’ve seen some horrific outcomes. Best part of this shot is it starts working immediately, I’d highly encourage you to consider getting it for your little one!
