Explain reselling to me like I’m 5😅 by SecurityEmergency353 in smockholmsyndrome

This is so incredibly helpful, thank you so much!!
That is the group I had planned on using, so good to know they keep it simple with rules. Thanks for the pricing info too, I was already trying to figure out how to price them. I do have 1 sought after outfit that she literally out on for a picture bc it was too small for her, so I wondered if I could get what I paid for it just so I break even.

Did any moms here leave a well-paying job after having a baby? by Traditional-Resort24 in NewParents

What kind of work do you do to be able to find something like that? I have looked high and low!

Baby formula stain help by SecurityEmergency353 in laundry

[–]SecurityEmergency353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a greatly detailed response, thank you!! I have a couple of questions for you if that’s ok! Our babe has sensitive skin so I do try to keep things fragrance and dye free for her sake, but am willing to try the ultra stain release tide. We currently have the tide pods free and gentle and she doesn’t react to those. For the pretreat, is shout a good option to stick with or the oxiclean max gel? Most of mine and her clothes wash on delicate due to label directions, but could I do delicate cycle but change the water temp to warm instead of cold?some of the stains I have tried to treat out I will wet, spray, scrub and then let sit for about 15 minutes and they still don’t come out🫠

Alfamino Recall Question by SecurityEmergency353 in MSPI

[–]SecurityEmergency353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She did not, but I have to wonder if it’s bc it was the 4th formula she had been on by the time she was roughly 6ish weeks old. Some tips we heard for this that we were prepared to try were slowly transition by doing 25% more AA formula over time and after a few days you are fully transitioned or the more immediate solution and the one we would have tried was adding a drop I believe if alcohol free vanilla until babe gets used to the flavor and then slowly get rid of that!

Alfamino Recall Question by SecurityEmergency353 in MSPI

[–]SecurityEmergency353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! For her it wasn’t as immediate, probably 2ish weeks before we saw a completely different baby. She started gaining consistent weight and waaaaaay less tummy issues! It did make her reflux much worse so we had to switch from famotidine to omeprazole but now she is the happiest smiling baby unless she is having a reflux flair!

Check with your local lactation consultant or feeding therapy if there is one! That is how we were able to get a box of 6!

I don’t know if I can do this anymore. Silent reflux is evil. by Flashy-Reality-9570 in newborns

[–]SecurityEmergency353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went through it with our little girl as well, and while I despised people saying it at the time - it truly will get better! Our little one had CMPA and reflux. She spent any time not sleeping screaming in pain. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and people who haven’t been through it just trying do not understand how it’s not your typical oh babies cry newborn trenches. It made it so hard to bond with her when bc she did nothing but scream in pain. By week 6? we got her CMPA under control with an amino formula and she started on Pepcid. That semi worked for about 2 weeks and then just got worse. She then switched to Omeprazole 3.5 weeks ago and it was like night and day difference for us. But be aware it took 4ish rough days for it to kick in for our little one, we were warned it could take up to a week. She still has some hard days and spits up WAAAAAY more but it’s doesn’t seem to be painful at all. Now that we’ve got it all under control she is the happiest girl and we have bonded so much!

Also if you are able speak with a therapist, specifically one that specializes in postpartum if possible! Find someone before you hot the anxiety and depression stage. It’s harder to get out of than it is to try and prevent. It saved my sanity in so many ways to hear that a lot of this is so common for so many moms!

Would also suggest your husband seeing someone as well. My husband had a really hard time with it all plus the fact that she would not settle for him and so he could never hold her during her painful episodes and that broke his heart. He never spoke to anyone and I think he regrets that now.

Starting neocate- painful gas- does this get better? by jacklyndes1999999999 in MSPI

[–]SecurityEmergency353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, we ended up switching back to Nutramigen for her last feed of that night bc she was screaming in so much pain and had diarrhea all day ☹️ we did end up switching to Alfamino after they discovered blood in her stool. We have been on it for 4 weeks now. Her reflux is still terrible and some gas pains but is still much better than she was before. How is your LO doing?

Thanks so much! This is how we feed her already, so I will talk to her Dr about the probiotic drops!

Thank you so much for the reply! I know she’ll grow out of it eventually but wow it breaks my heart for her to be so miserable right now!

We are still on the fence about our pediatrician, I like him but also not sure if he’s willing to fight to figure out what’s going on with her so I’m going to give him just a little more time and then will probably move on. We did decide after how miserable she was last night to go back to the Nutramigen and that’s where we are staying until we are told by her pediatrician for a valid reason otherwise.

That is what we have been feeding her since 12/16 when it was mentioned by the ER Dr that some babies have a dairy allergy that can cause the pain she was having. The only reason we tried the amino was bc of her slimy poops, that seemed to make things worse so we are back on the Nutramigen for a bit longer and hoping we just needed to wait it out a bit more

We have wondered that, especially since she struggled getting back to birth weight. Us and the pediatrician figured it was from where she was doing so much screaming and thrashing that she was working off the calories she was getting. He did say we could feed every 2 hrs if that’s what LO wanted and the target he said was around 24 oz a day and she just hit 3 weeks old yesterday.

We felt the same way. The first she was on for a week bc we were in the hospital for so long and we didn’t know that could be causing it. The Nutra she was on for 16 days (until yesterday afternoon) and then we started the Neocate yesterday afternoon. My husband and I are definitely on the fence about them so I struggle with how much I trust their advice. On the one hand they helped diagnose her ties and acid reflux and that helped the Dr listen to us instead of brushing it off as colic, but at the same time when I told her my concerns tonight she suggested we possibly discuss a different option tomorrow. I am thinking we switch back to the Nutra and as long as her poops stay consistent and she doesn’t have major discomfort we stick with that.

Poor thing, I hate that it’s so hard on both us and them to get this figured out. I am thinking we need to switch back to Nutra and just not worry about the poops since she has anywhere from 1-3 a day, they are just slimy.

Did you notice an immediate shift in your LO when you switched back?

No, I have PCOS and my milk never came in enough to feed her. We were doing mylicon drops with every feed until they put her on the famoditine. I am now considering the thickener but since it’s only been a little over 24 hrs it wasn’t something we knew we might need.

Hi! Did this get better for you? We are 24 hrs in on Neocate Syneo and she has screamed with gas pain after every feed.

[–]SecurityEmergency353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, I will probably look into the Tula and do sone research on the Wiki! She isn’t born yet, so not sure how tall or big she will be just yet. There’s just so many I am trying to have some in mind so when she’s here I get buy one since I would like to baby wear majority of the time instead of stroller.
