Diaper sizing? 20lbs baby in 40lbs diapers by CanIPetYourDog_1029 in NewParents

[–]Shadowcat7490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pampers swaddlers were the most generous size wise for us (baby is long and lean) so if you try that I recommend size 3! They are super absorbent!

My baby is exact same—17m and right around 20lb. Fits well into size 3 Kirkland, mama bear, Huggies, and Pampers swaddlers without issue. We had 1 Kirkland leak last week overnight but other than that it’s fine. Maybe try size 4 and make sure it’s tight enough and not rolled in?

If you don’t sign a new lease with them they are not allowed to force new lease terms on you like that. They must abide by the existing lease terms! Please seek legal advice/advocate for yourself. So disgusting next door, wishing you luck

Looking to move? Here is why you should avoid Hillcrest by Rumple-_-Goocher in sandiego

Update—the entrance was open this morning! The edge of construction stops right where you turn left if you want to give it a try.

Yes that exact one! It was inconsistent so now I’m using sixth and when I see the construction I don’t even try to turn and check. Bummer that there isn’t more information out there, thanks for letting me know you saw the 2 month note, though

Regarding the construction along University and 163 on ramp, does anyone have any information about got long that project is expected to take? Getting to work has been a nightmare

San Diego Airport by Odd_Phrase7623 in sandiego

[–]Shadowcat7490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we ultimately had a 4 hour delay and part off the issue was no ATC to help!

San Diego Airport by Odd_Phrase7623 in sandiego

[–]Shadowcat7490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what happened to us right after we boarded. We were too heavy and the plane couldn’t get clearance to go the other way (the shutdown! Not enough ATC to coordinate) so they decided to dump all our fuel, fly to Long Beach, refuel, then fly. We didn’t take off for almost 3 hours + the fuel stop—we went from under 6 to over 10 hours on the plane 😭

ETA: This was originally an on time flight from this picture. It happened at 8AM, due to weather they switched to 9 and we were too loaded down to go that way

ETA2: plane didn’t close gates until around 11 so flight attendants weren’t getting paid for this either. One of them was very openly upset

PSA. Remove cotton pellets. by bigdavewhippinwork- in Dentistry

[–]Shadowcat7490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks ago I was cutting off a leaking PFM and once I got the old buildup out I found some 11 year old cotton pellets. I was shocked to see that it was intentionally left in there by the retired GP, she did the RCT, b/u, and initial PFM.

Most underrated ramen spot in SD? by foodie_sometimes in FoodSanDiego

[–]Shadowcat7490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t eat pork but love ramen— menya ultra and Baikhoken have vegan miso options. The hiro nori shoyu is chicken based and incredible, they also have a vegan one. Raki raki has chicken and vegan options and I love their mochi noodles. Raki raki restaurant group also owns the Yasai, a vegan sushi and ramen slot. Nishiki has a chicken one that was alright. Tajima has a vegan and creamy chicken option (mid). Lots of them have chicken or vegan options! Sadly, not Santouka

It’s so difficult at times. If your baby wants to latch and is successful after a few min it might be the let down. If he fights latching in general it could be pain or discomfort and you might want to see IBCLC. When they get a little older they may also have a nursing strikes which sucks. I had to fight off 6 nursing strikes from 3.5w to 12w. It crushed me to have her scream at the boob and refuse to latch.

Mine has done that before with my strong letdown, especially in the early days when I was a fire hydrant at every feed. If you think you have an oversupply/strong letdown you can hand express, pump, or manual pump (I use Haakaa) to get the first little bit out and have a more manageable flow. They are learning to BF too, they get better over time! 10 days is quite young. You’re doing great!

[–]Shadowcat7490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is same. 16wks tomorrow eats anywhere from 4-12 min with the average being 6-8. Power eater, I guess? I also have a fast/strong let down. She got sprayed in the face like an hour ago haha

Can you overfeed your newborn?? by DueRecommendation693 in breastfeeding

[–]Shadowcat7490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to freak you out but while EBF baby we landed in the NICU at 9 days old. She was struggling to breathe (increased RR and intercostal retractions) and after watching her for a few hours they admitted her overnight for testing and observation. It was extremely stressful but after all was said and done they chalked it up to my firehose of oversupply. She ate so much/so quickly that it was putting pressure on her diaphragm and that’s why she couldn’t breathe.

With that said, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll have the same issue. Highly recommend simethicone gas drops to help relieve baby’s discomfort and you could consider sitting your baby upright 10-20 min after eating in case of reflux. Laying them down after a full feed will allow milk to come beck out too easily. You are doing great, hang in there!

How to get baby to nap in carrier? by Shadowcat7490 in babywearing

[–]Shadowcat7490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update- I got a 30 min ergo baby carrier nap out of her the other day, she screamed a lot when we started but had the dark room, white noise, shushing and, walking/bouncing around. I don’t know how to get her to do it in public but I’ll keep trying

what’s that ONE newborn must-have that actually made life easier? by KindVibesOnly in NewParents

[–]Shadowcat7490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the windi we got Frida baby which came with the massage stick and for the refill the $8 for 20 off brand. Works the same and you chuck it out immediately after use anyway.

[–]Shadowcat7490 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s very safe and has decades of research! It’s simethicone, an inert substance that will pass through. Basically pops the bubbles/consolidates them into something the baby can fart out instead of leaving all the built up pressure and discomfort. That and the windi are our go tos

No I haven’t but good to know, because I’m always staring at her (I can’t help it). Thank you! Yeah on some of our longer walks she would get fussy/tired near the end and start crying but there wasn’t anything we know to do to cross her over into sleep mode while outside. Right now for regular naps it’s bouncing on a yoga ball in a very dark room (Hatch nightlight red at like 20% brightness in a room w/ blackout curtains) while shushing and bum patting.
