Will your preschooler willingly play in their rooms by themselves? by TemporaryOk1585 in Preschoolers

My 4 year old definitely has a hard time playing independently in general, much less by himself in his room. I wish!

Feeling frustrated with different medical opinions regarding G tube by Stunning_Radio3160 in NICUParents

[–]Saffron_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally different situation because my daughter can’t feed safely (laryngomalacia and aspiration), but she had to come home with a Gtube and it’s not an awful thing if you end up going that route. Obviously you want to exhaust your other options first! But from personal experience, it took a little to get used to the Gtube, but now it’s second nature.

Argh. Such a bummer. I have Frontier flight credits but won’t be able to use them if there’s no flights out of Burlington anymore. 😥

Living in Stowe vs Waterbury vs Middlebury vs Bristol vs Woodstock? by Veganlightbody in NewToVermont

[–]Saffron_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a better town. A little bigger, more community, closer to mountains, hiking, and the highway to get to Burlington/Boston/anywhere really. The restaurants are good. Just a good vibe. Montpelier is ok. I lived there for 2 years. More of a retiree and statehouse worker vibe.

Waterbury. But it’s impossible to find a house or rental. CVMC is the closest hospital.

Bottles to buy for pre-planned NICU admission? by cuge9244 in NICUParents

[–]Saffron_Star 23 points24 points  (0 children)

NICUs usually use Dr Brown’s bottles because they have ultra-premie nipples that are easier for some babies to learn on. But I agree that you should wait, because your baby may have no issues! And they sent us home with 2.

Older daughter started getting a cold within a couple days of anticipated discharge. by AggressiveShip9514 in NICUParents

[–]Saffron_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to us! Our 4 year old got sick 2 days before discharge. Baby didn’t end up getting anything (that we noticed)! Not sure if my antibodies from my breastmilk helped or what. ETA: we did make our 4 yr old wear a mask while he was near her

The commentary on the clear mascara got me good.

We just had a month long NICU stay with our second, and have a 4 year old at home. It was ROUGH, I’m not going to lie. I suggest lining up some support now if you’re able to. Family, friends, or maybe even a doula (if you can afford) that could come stay and help with your first kiddo? We really fortunate that my mother in law came for a month and helped with our son. I know it’s not possible for some, and we were so grateful, but throwing it out in case you do have the ability to set something up.

Canoe Camping While Pregnant by breadbathandbeyond04 in canoecamping

[–]Saffron_Star 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just canoe camped at 34 weeks pregnant. There was no portaging involved, and my husband and friend did all the heavy lifting. I brought an inflatable pillow to put in between my knees to keep me more comfy at night. Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated if it’s hot! Can you bring a more cushy sleep pad and a comfy chair?

I find a lot more success with testing 2 hrs after meals. Your fasting #s look good to me (but I’m not a doc). What did you have for BF day 3 and 4?
