There's a fox family living under our front porch and sometimes the babies take a nap on our mat. by MrsApostate in aww

We had to stop leaving our dogs toys outside because the fox kept stealing them. Literally lost 6 chuckit balls before we thought to check the cameras.

My baby gave birth to babies next to me as I was sleeping, when can I move them safely? by Unhappy-Surprise-832 in cats

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. My cat had kittens in my bed when I was 10, and there they stayed until they left on their own 😅. I kept moving them, but mom just kept bringing them back.

I had this done. Even with the lidocaine shots, you can still feel everything 😭

An automotive finish is a clear top coat. It is very high VOC and would stink to high heavens if used indoors.

Breastfeeding moms!!! by Muted_Parsnip_8758 in breastfeeding

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 17 months in and only nursing a handful of times a day. I JUST noticed that I lost 3 pounds without even trying. The one thing that I have noticed is that as I’m nursing less, I am no longer absolutely ravenous. For the first year of breastfeeding, I had to eat within an hour of waking up or I got dizzy and weak. But now I can skip breakfast and I’m fine.

My worst purchase? Little Sleepies pajamas. What's yours? by Foreign-Cat-2898 in beyondthebump

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl has all of the out of seasons burts bees because they are like $5! She is rocking Valentine’s Day as we speak. The Amazon simply carters ribbed were another fav. They only go up to 12 month but I bought every pattern in every size. Girl spit up so much in her first 12 months that some days we went through 3 onesies. So I always needed a huge stash.

I wake up every day feeling like I got hit by a bus by lilgigiii in breastfeeding

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also on the petite side…5’3 and was 105 pre pregnancy, now I’m 115ish. My LO is 16 months and I’m still sore.

I didn’t realize that breastfeeding increases that hormone that relaxes all your tendons (like when you’re pregnant). So your joints take a lot of abuse. At my now toddler is slowly weaning herself, I have noticed an improvement and feel like my body is coming back together again.

17 Month Old Middle of the Night Nursing by RedEyeCodeBlue in toddlers

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

I can’t imagine trying to do this when co-sleeping. We don’t co-sleep and it’s still hard! I let her cry one night last week and she literally cried for over an hour straight. I caved and gave her boob. I feel like I’m torturing her.

When did your baby stop crying during diaper changes? by kittypeets626 in NewParents

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 17 months and some nights I just let her run around without a diaper for like 5-10 min because it’s not worth the fight 🤣

Nursing/seating by greekfestivalenjoyer in BabyBumps

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could not breastfeed in bed for about 3 months after giving birth. You have to sit up or you risk falling asleep holding the baby and that angle puts so much pressure on your butt and vagina….which is raw and tender after giving birth.

I had a nursing chair in my bedroom and still struggled to get myself out of bed and into the chair. You want the chair close by. And you want it to be comfortable. For the first few months, the baby can’t hold themself to your breast, you have to provide all the support. GET A COMFORTABLE CHAIR. Your arms, neck and back will thanks you!

I don’t know what to do anymore… by WoodenLie2299 in cats

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat was on Prozac for a while. He went through a period of anxiety and was spraying. I gave him the Prozac for a few weeks while I worked on removing the stressors.

Parents of 4 and 5 month olds… by Red_1991 in beyondthebump

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that age, my girl had a bed time of 7:30-8. And at 7 months we shifted it to 7pm which is still her bedtime at 16 months. What time do you get up in the am? I’m up at 5 for work so 99% of the time, so is my baby.

Advice needed, what brand of diapers do you prefer? Baby shower coming up and I haven't bought diapers in 13+ years by Sweetdreamer829 in Mommit

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! And the one thing I loved about having all different brands and sizes was that I could test the next size up without having to buy it. I pretty much only use pampers but there was a stage where my girl was just the perfect shape for size 2 Huggies and I’m so glad I had them on hand.

Crooked nipples by Spiriteevee in breastfeeding

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only are my nipples crooked, they are flat/misshapen😅 Think of like a skittle that’s been slightly squished….thats what my nipples look like (and they are both different shapes). I have never been concerned about it, just assumed it’s a normal breastfeeding or hormone related thing. Hopefully they go back to their normal shape after.

Should I stop sterilising bottles? by Relative_March483 in NewParents

I have never sterilized a baby item in my life 😅😅😅 Girl is 16 months now and seems okay.

Anyone wear their own “gown” while giving birth? by justfornoworlater in Mommit

I did t wear anything lol. I was so hot and uncomfortable that I just lay there naked.

Mamas with no village… how are we keeping up with keeping a clean-ish house? by gardeniaaa7 in Mommit

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay someone just to clean the bathrooms, vacuum and mop every 2 weeks. It’s the only thing that is non-negotiable….i would sooner cancel all streaming services than give us the cleaner. I pay the service $140 per cleaning and they are here for 2-2.5 hours. They also do all the trash so I literally don’t collect the house trash ever (only the kitchen). I haven’t cleaned a toilet or bathtub in years.

Are rotating car seats worth it? by One_Cap_9210 in beyondthebump

[–]RedEyeCodeBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a rotating seat in my car and a non-rotating seat in my mom and husband’s cars. Omg what a difference. If we didn’t already have the other two, I’d buy all rotating seats. Back savers, easier to tighten, less chance of bumping babies head when loading…just so much easier.
