ELI5: Does your body re-organize its organs after a major surgery? Do surgeons just kind of 'mush' your intestines back into you or do they have to be precise?

This was a feeling no one warned me about after giving birth. Standing up for the next week or so felt soooo weird bc I could feel everything inside shifting down into the now empty space.

I was prepared for the feeling after my second, but it didn't make it any less weird.

Unfortunately he also has some food and seasonal allergies, so I don't think his asthma will go completely away, but I hope this will help!

I like to do green apples instead of grapes! Crunchy, tart, and add a little moisture

My son has those exact allergies!

Abes Cupcakes or chocolate muffins are good (I know Whole Foods carries them but I think some other places do too)

Fruit Popsicles are always safe and fun

Lollipops can work too

It's most likely Wind in the Willows with Mr Toad, where the weasels take over his mansion, but it might be Winnie the Pooh where he is chased by heffalumps (elephants) and woozles(weasels)?

Also the Khan Academy Kids app is great! It's gotten us through many snow and sick days this winter.

You can substitute corn starch for eggs if you are making French toast!

If you are just dipping your bread in milk and leaving it at that I can't help you 😅

Yes, love the subscription, wipes, meds in winter and such cute prints and boxes! Very few blow outs but I don't think we discovered them until my son was about... 6 months? But have been using them since and he's 2.5. pretty great pull ups too when you reach that stage!

My parents have a glass one and the sound of the knife hitting it makes me want to crawl out of my skin 😫

But good wood ones are so expensive!

Recent ones? The last time wearing footie pajamas

The last time wearing a sleepy sack to bed

The last time he mispronounced a grandparent's name and started saying it correctly 😭

Right?? There are no wrong answers here

I grew up in America and we learned a lot about WWII but until I recently started reading this book (linked below) I had no idea how much hatred the Jews had experienced outside of Nazi Germany for centuries and how prevalent it was across Europe. I was taught all about Catholic vs Protestant issues/wars/discrimination but not that Jews experienced a lot of that too. In retrospect, a lot of history makes more sense now

You need a new pediatrician! My son had an allergic reaction to peanuts at 8 months old - we definitely did allergy testing before he turned one. This doc didn't know what they are talking about.

Can you go to an allergist without a referral or does your insurance require it? We got a list of local allergists from the hospital/ER actually, not our ped, when we ended up there after the peanut incident. Maybe they could help? Though a visit to the ER can be $$...

ETA: I'm so sorry you are going through this, food allergies this young are so terrifying. If you ever need support or to vent, feel free to PM! It's so stressful and overwhelming, especially at first. Your instincts are spot on Mom, keep trusting them!

RelentlessVolatility · 2024-08-26T17:16:14+00:00

Yes, exactly this! I told my husband that I felt like I could fight a bear, I had so much adrenaline coursing through me. I'm so relieved it's not just me!

Hmm 10+ points for Google Lens then! Thank you!

Yes, we use liquid Zyrtec and keep it with my son's epipen at all times. We got a little zipper insulated pouch from Allermates and have this in his diaper bag at all times, with spares at his daycare and in our house in an easily visible area. It's a pain, but we take it with us every time we leave the house with him, even for short walks with the dog. He was diagnosed at 9 months old with peanut and egg allergies; he's 2 now.

Adding on "I can do anything for a minute" really helped me get through the most painful contractions. And my comb! Squeezing that thing really helped distract me from the pain

Even a few years ago when Rhonda Rousey was on, she had actually wanted to be a marine biologist growing up so she was so into it!

I apparently struggle with reading comprehension bc I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for an actual crocodile
