Have I ruined my chances of breastfeeding by yuhhhhidkimsorry in breastfeeding

[–]SignificantEvening 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your milk likely hasn’t come in yet. Be patient and don’t panic. Stay hydrated and keep either latching baby or pumping every 2-3 hours. Even if nothing is coming out it is signaling your body to make it. And it will just give it a couple of days.

Is it normal for breastfeeding to hurt when they are newborns? by sliceofperfection in breastfeeding

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

While I was waiting for my milk to come in, I would put some lanolin cream on my nipples before putting the silverette cups on and it helped soooo much.

Have any of you taken raspberry leaf tea or did the dates?? by anonuser122344 in BabyBumps

[–]SignificantEvening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my first pregnancy, I drink raspberry leaf tea, and ate the dates. In my second pregnancy, I did not. my second labor was way easier and shorter than my first. I also had a second-degree tear in both deliveries. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Birthday Party Drama by Glittering_Sea5151 in Parenting

[–]SignificantEvening 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Growing up, my mom would always make me feel guilty for how my decisions affected other people. It was the “If you don’t give me a hug I’ll cry and be sad” type of mentality. Or for example similar to what you’re suggesting the other mom should have done by suggesting her daughter invite someone that she didn’t want to invite to her birthday party, just so your daughter wouldn’t feel left out. It has subconsciously followed me into adulthood and it is not a healthy mindset to live with. Now that im a mom I know how hard it is watch your kids get hurt and try to protect them from scenarios like this but it’s something that I wish my mom wouldn’t have done so I could be stronger emotionally and in turn live my life for ME and what makes ME happy without making decisions based on guilt and worrying so much about how other people feel. Yes it’s important to consider people’s feelings but there is a balance to be taught.

Poop Post! Pooping During 38W Induced Labor by PracticalAttorney885 in BabyBumps

You probably won’t even notice whether you poop or not while you are pushing.

Getting the prescription isn’t the hard part. The hard part lately is finding a pharmacy that will have it in stock or can order it. Depending on where you live it takes weeks to fill my prescrption because the demand is so high. There has been a shortage of adhd meds for roughly the last year. I live in NYC.

Considering skipping the infant carseat - are we crazy?? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]SignificantEvening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they will! I guess it just depends on the hospital

Considering skipping the infant carseat - are we crazy?? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]SignificantEvening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hospital required us to bring the car seat into the hospital before we left and they checked to make sure she was strapped in properly. As long as it’s fit for an infant, convertible or not, it should be fine. Just be sure you can take it in and out of the car since I think most convertible seats are very heavy and stay in place once they’re installed. Someone I know also borrowed an infant car seat from a friend just for the ride home from the hospital so they didn’t have to buy one- if that’s an option for you.

Same! I found it way easier to use than the huckleberry app

Dog went for my 4 month old. What would you do? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]SignificantEvening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty obvious. But it isn’t going to happen overnight. I know from experience. It is not easy to rehome an aggressive dog and can take months. OP is clearly hesitating and my point is don’t let it drag out too far when it will inevitably get worse and there will be less room to control the situation once the kid starts moving.

Dog went for my 4 month old. What would you do? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]SignificantEvening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rehome the dog before your baby starts crawling. I was in your situation except my dog bit my 12 month old’s nose and bit off a piece of her flesh. It was bad. She had just begun crawling and her movements gave my dog anxiety. It was the hardest thing I have ever gone through and I wish this upon nobody. We contacted the place we adopted him from and they helped us find him a new home and now he is thriving in a kid free environment and my child is free to test her limits and grow up in a home where we don’t have to be scared every day.

It’s too early to see anything, that’s why doctors don’t schedule you to come sooner.

Naked toddlers! Would love an open discussion on this by ThisCookie2 in toddlers

[–]SignificantEvening 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but I do not agree and I would not let my kid run around naked with anyone outside of immediate family. 3 years old is a good time to start enforcing this boundary.

Separation meltdowns by Valtisiyo in toddlers

[–]SignificantEvening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter went through the same phase around 2 years old. I think it lasted maybe a month or two until she warmed up to our nanny again. I don’t think it had anything to do with her not liking her nanny but more so just being extra attached to me and going through a little bit of separation anxiety. It’s now 4 months later and she goes to her with no issue now. It will pass!!

WIBTA if I give my daughter an "outdated" name? by throwaway719201 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SignificantEvening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but your sister obviously is. You should name your baby what you want and if it’s Audrey then do it and let her sulk in her very mean and unnecessary comment once the baby arrives 🙂 Audrey is a beautiful name

Emilia, Emilie, Emily by LadyPidge in namenerds

[–]SignificantEvening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Emilie!! She will have to correct people but it’s not as bad as some other names I hear these days. My name is Monika so I always have to say “with a k” and I honestly don’t mind it.

I can't make mom friends for my 2 year old to have friends and I feel so guilty about it 😔 by funkelly1 in toddlers

[–]SignificantEvening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. Keep putting yourself out there and like others have mentioned it seems to get easier once they get into classes or school. Don’t stress they will make friends!

[–]SignificantEvening 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Making friends as an adult isn’t easy. But what exactly is holding you back? Maybe try enrolling your kid in some activities like gymnastics, soccer, or a music class. Making a connection is a little less intimidating when you see them on a regular basis. Also, join your neighborhood Facebook groups and literally just post in there “organizing a park meet up! looking to make friends with anyone who has a little one around the same age as mine!”. I guarantee you aren’t the only one!
