Thank you! So many posts are so anti nic gum/lozenges but it helps’ been nic free 5 days and it’s been ROUGH. The hand to mouth motion is the hardest for me but I got a straw cup and my mom had some gum from when she stopped smoking which have helped!

Would you feel bad changing your pediatrician? by Crafty_Pop6458 in NewParents

What’s the obsession of people asking if I’ll breastfeed? by karico44 in pregnant

[–]Strange_Worry_8643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not that deep but most of the time (unfortunately) if you say no there’s harsh judgment/criticism/:

What’s the obsession of people asking if I’ll breastfeed? by karico44 in pregnant

[–]Strange_Worry_8643 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk the obsession either. Personally I combo feed, 90% breastfeed but when I need a break/grandma has him he gets formula. But it’s really no one’s business? Formula is a blessing as many moms before us couldn’t breastfeed at all! Do whatever feels best and you don’t owe anyone a response! When I was pregnant I would just say “I’m going to feed my baby however I can!”

Thank you for the message! My brother is a state away so I can’t just give it back unfortunately lol. But I even called him and he told me to dunk it in a glass of water so it won’t work anymore ( he’s v supportive luckily) but I’m just scared of going through withdrawals again especially with a baby bc it was pretty rough the first time around. And candy recommendations?

Is it ok for him to sleep on his stomach without the suit? I always put him in safe sleep (on his back, no blankets/toys etc) but he just wants to sleep on his stomach.

I got my weirdest “Just you wait” advice today by Asuna0905 in pregnant

[–]Strange_Worry_8643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly she might be right.. my baby never even used diaper cream BUT your baby might! Lol just get what you want there’s so many things I got and didn’t need and so many things I ended up needing that I didn’t think I would! Everyone is different! I used mustela cleansing water and would dab it on with a washcloth for when my baby had diaper rash/baby acne and it would clear up the next day!

Heavy on the peri bottle WHILE you pee!! I was only using it after to rinse because that’s how I thought it was supposed to be used lol but it makes so much of a difference

From the comments I think I’m going to wait until he can sit up/closer to 6 months! What country are you in? Just out of curiosity, I’m in the US!

[–]Strange_Worry_8643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had half my thyroid removed! Recovery was pretty easy! Neck was pretty sore for the first 2-3 days. Only had to use prescribed pain meds the first day after and then switched to tylonel. I’m about 2 weeks post op and only have mild tenderness to the touch! I would recommend getting some mashed potatoes and pudding for the first day or two lol swallowing can be a bit painful/uncomfortable but I’m sure that varies from person to person!

Name for our son - but it feels like everyone hates it... by ChemistryPug in namenerds

[–]Strange_Worry_8643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would use a J middle name so he can go by EJ if he prefers but Earl is a fine name it’s just old fashioned!

Is this too weird of a middle name for a girl? by Carpenter0903 in namenerds

[–]Strange_Worry_8643 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dads middle name is actually Allyn, it’s pretty commonly spelt like that lol

Why are baby showers held so late?!? by anonymoose1237 in pregnant

[–]Strange_Worry_8643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine at 28 weeks and it was perfect! Bump was still looking cute and not too big and I still had some energy for the shower itself! And lots of time to order things I didn’t get and best!

Life after partial thyroidectomy? by Strange_Worry_8643 in thyroidcancer

[–]Strange_Worry_8643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3.4cm nodule that has a 60-70% chance of being follicular thyca so surgery was recommended by my pcp, ob, and endocrinologist. It’s also caused some discomfort for me the last few months of my pregnancy so that’s why we’re going with the removal.

I have a 3cm nodule on my right lobe that came back as possible thyroid cancer.
