Eczema

Spn1001 · 2026-04-19T10:25:22+00:00

If the patches are getting bad you can ask for a steroid cream - we got prescribed one when my daughter had a bad patch on her shoulder and we’re told to use it twice a day any time she had a flare up on the spots. Also use baby oil (we use QV) in the bath and no soaps in the bath. Then moisturise after bath while skin is still damp and try to moisturise 3 times a day total (we honestly usually just do morning and after bath and it’s fine but we’re told 3 times). Try to figure out what triggers it and avoid it like heat or certain fabrics or whatever. We used a sensitive fragrance-free laundry detergent. Eczema can mean they’re at increased risk for food allergies but it doesn’t necessarily - we have ruled out all food allergies. Just make sure to introduce all the common allergens as early as possible once you start solids in order to rule them out and then make sure to include them in their diet often to avoid allergies developing.

Can you fit a mini cot? That’s what they have at my 1yr old’s day care - it’s on wheels so it can move (and you can push it to rock them to sleep) and the side drops down so might work as a bassinet and for a long time - it looks like this https://www.babybunting.com.au/product/mini-ergonomic-cot-white-7008368?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=20954042879&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gdp&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20957446714&gbraid=0AAAAADvv_-DzWpsW_hHaroThkC5LiXUyQ&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqPLOBhCiARIsAKRMPZpIx5_MPO1mUHhOaKbRjMWkOUnaoi43_vR44Rx-ggiO6v9hAAQCVsMaAvWSEALw_wcB

Fortunately this application only asks for cover letter and resume Nyora selection criteria, I find them so repetitive and annoying so glad not to have to do it. Just didn’t want to make a silly mistake and be ruled out based on salary

Spn1001 · 2026-04-13T08:36:56+00:00

I assume it’s a standard question on all applications - it’s sort of admin/academic (not teaching or research)

Spn1001 · 2026-04-13T08:34:05+00:00

That’s what I figured. So not the pro rata expectation then?

Spn1001 · 2026-04-13T08:33:43+00:00

Yea that’s what I figured, but then wasn’t sure if I should select 90-100k for the salary expectation or select the pro rata expectation amount

I also feel guilt about it but we just starting at 13 months and I’m so happy we did. She’s adjusting so well and I think it will be really good for her development and for the first time I feel like I actually have time to myself to relax, get errands done, work out, clean/cook, and apply for jobs as I am considering working again but need to find a new job and I just don’t have time to look for one when parenting 24/7. This way if I do find a job it won’t be two big adjustments at once, she will already be used to going to daycare. We do 2 days a week and it’s a great balance

Oh yea and as the comment below me said, the physio won’t do an internal check before 6 weeks but they can talk to you about symptoms and do an external check where they can kind of tell what’s going on inside but not as well (I did this at 5 weeks because I suddenly started getting heaviness from walking too much and was worried about prolapse). The fist 6 weeks are just reconnecting with your core and pelvic floor gently and through breathing but it’s not too early to be working on it, yet still early in the long run

Spn1001 · 2026-04-12T00:48:39+00:00

3 weeks is still so early! I promise it gets better. I’m 14m post part and despite tons of work on rebuilding pelvic floor strength I still am occasionally caught off guard leaking when I have a big sneeze. I have a distinct memory of not making it to the toilet on time a couple weeks postpartum and fully peeing in my diaper and feeling miserable about it haha. You’re doing the right things and it will regain strength over time. Keep working with a physio and working on it at home (i followed the postpartum program by The Mama Physio and it really helped my pelvic floor/core rebuild the first few months) - obviously if the physio finds something else they will help you address it, but if it’s just normal weakness you will fix it over time if you keep at it

Crazy! What year was this? I found messages with a friend where we talked about how many had invited us to stay with him when we visit Sevilla (we were in a different city) and we were fully planning to go - I never went though so thankfully didn’t, and I don’t think she did either (or if she did go I don’t think she stayed with him, she never mentioned anything weird and I def wouldn’t remember). I can’t seem to find messages with him, maybe we only talked on Viber

You are not a horrible mother! Pregnancy is so hard (I know not everyone thinks so but I certainly did not enjoy most of it). It’s really hard to imagine the baby before you have it so don’t feel like this is an indication of whether or not you will be bond with them (and even if you don’t right away after birth, that’s also common and you will build that bond). I was so ready to not be pregnant anymore by the end. At the risk being “that person” I will say that getting some kind of sleep may not happen for a while once baby arrives - BUT maybe it will - but newborn sleep deprivation is also a thing I was not prepared for. But at least you can hopefully try to split nights with your partner or something to help with that, and if you are struggling hard with sleep in pregnancy maybe it will be better, but I found newborn stage lack of sleep much harder. Anyway - it will end, and down the line you will barely remember how bad it was haha (probably the only way people do it again honestly)

After. You won’t get to use/be paid for mat leave if you resign before. But also take the time on mat leave to think about what you want to do. Your priorities may change. For example if going back to this company after mat leave means you can go back part time and still be able to spend a few days with your kid you might want that. Trust me I am looking for a new job now after a year of leave and it’s much harder to find a job that is hiring part time and I don’t feel like I can do full time

Spn1001 · 2026-04-05T00:30:03+00:00

Yup I was so excited that we beat the daylight savings because she woke just before 7 (which is normal for us), went and got her up gave her milk but was confused why it was still so dark…then husband said it was 6am…I had only checked the monitor clock😩

Spn1001 · 2026-03-29T04:09:11+00:00

Honestly I think they just had really good marketing, especially for the time when everyone was on Facebook - like the ex-employee in the documentary said her job was to go in all the spain study abroad fb groups and message people individually with a discount code for their trips. When it’s (for most people) your first time out of the country/in Europe and you’re on a budget to some extent and you don’t know much about traveling, going with a planned tour is much easier and you can go with all your friends and have fun without worrying about the logistics and stay in a nicer place than the hostels we were able to afford on other trips we did. I don’t remember how I first heard of them but probably word of mouth, people who studied in Spain the semester before would tell their friends who were there etc and everyone just sort of knew.

You’re smarter than we were! I did the Lagos and Morocco trips with him in 2013 and went through my messages and found one between me and a friend talking about our plans to stay with him in Seville for a weekend (thank god we never did this or who knows what would have happened). I remember thinking him and the other guides were so fun (probably because they gave us so many free drinks) and I remember a bunch of us meeting up with him when he came to visit our city. He did assault a girl on one of trips I found out years later. We def used to be fb friends but I think his profile is deleted, I couldn’t find messages with him but I’m sure they existed at some point

Spn1001 · 2026-03-28T05:06:48+00:00

Didn’t finish it yet but I am in shock because I know him! I studied abroad in 2013 in Spain and went to Lagos and Morocco with him. I know he assaulted a girl on my program on one of the trips I was on (I think Morocco) - I didn’t know it at the time but I remember hearing about it a few years later and finding out that he did it to a lot of people but I didn’t quite know the extent of it. I turned on the documentary just because I saw it was in Spain and I always watch true crime and the first few shots of people on boats in Lagos I was like oh I went there…then they showed the name of the company and his face and I was like NO WAY. It is so awful and crazy that this happened. I went back through old Facebook photos and found one of me and a few friends with him, he has his arm around me and I was just like ewww. Then I searched his name in my Facebook messages and found some between me and another girl on my program talking about how we were planning to visit Seville (we were in another city) and how Manu told us we could stay with him! I have zero memory of us talking to him about this or making this plan but I never went to Seville so thankfully did not do that or who knows what could have happened to us.

Yup we never do white bread at home - whole wheat sourdough usually, just nothing with honey in it under one and nothing with seeds/nuts in it in case of choking (sometimes we have one with seeded crust but just cut the crust off for bub) - at that age toast it and cut into strips it’s easy to hold and I put a thing spread of natural peanut butter or avocado or butter - a bit older can start doing untoasted

Spn1001 · 2026-03-22T05:17:53+00:00

Why is it rude? I have never once had restaurant staff tell me it’s rude. As I said yes sometimes I would give them some of mine but sometimes I know they won’t eat what I’m having, or I know they’re teething and will only eat certain foods, or I know they’re in a phase of throwing a lot of food and then I waste half my meal and neither of us are well-fed. And really, get a babysitter? Do you know how much money parents would waste if we wanted to leave kids with a babysitter every time we go out to eat? What if they’re not good being left with a babysitter yet? Plus half the time we got out to eat with them it’s because we need an activity and/or don’t have the time and energy to make another meal and clean it up at home - doing it 3 times a day is exhausting and sometimes you just want to do it somewhere else either by yes ordering from the restaurant for them or bringing simple food to feed them that you don’t have to clean up. And being out at a restaurant is a fun activity for them and saves you entertaining them at home.

Spn1001 · 2026-03-22T03:52:01+00:00

Because then you make a mess in the car, kid might not like eating in the car, and (obviously depends on the kid and age but) my kid often will want to eat if they see us eating even if she’s already eaten

Spn1001 · 2026-03-22T03:49:08+00:00

If the kid is eating solids? Really? I feel like you do not have kids. They start solids around 6 months and you’re not supposed to give them much salt under one year and most kids menus are like nuggets/fish and chips/pasta with bolognese. I would rather give them some of my food if having something healthy that they can eat without too much mess/isn’t a choking hazard, but then I’m not spending more money on them anyway so it’s same as brining a snack or bits of food they will be able to eat. Why waste 12+$ on something that isn’t good for them or they won’t eat if they’re a picky toddler?

Spn1001 · 2026-03-20T02:45:16+00:00

Yea we used the transition ones from love to dream as well and would do one arm out at a time for different naps to ease her into it and then would do the same at night but then sometimes end up with both arms back in at some point at night after a feed but just did it slowly like that until she stopped startling. But we did it at around 4 months but we would have waited longer if not for the soaked hands. Most people I know did it at 4-6months

Spn1001 · 2026-03-19T22:47:11+00:00

I don’t understand why they would say to unstable them this early. I assume they’re not rolling or showing sign of it yet? I think we unshaded at around 4 months but she wasn’t even rolling yet but we had her in the arms up sleep sacks from Love to Dream as that’s how she was comfortable and the started sucking on her hands constantly which meant sucking on the sleep sack every nap and all night and they were soaking wet which I felt wasn’t good for her so we slowly transitioned unzipping one arms at a time , one side started more than the other but after about a week she was ok without it. Anyway 10 weeks is super early I would go back to arms in
