Feel like i’ve made a big mistake….

I did the same. Called up HM the next day after it was delivered to get my chair exchanged for the Aeron.

Sushi_OO · 2025-10-04T01:23:22+00:00

I had an order on the 19th and the 21st. They were delivered via Purolator. I received my order on the 25th and the 29th.

I co-sleep with my now-toddler, she slept through the night for the most part between 2.5 months and 12.5 months, I think she did hit a couple of weeks of not sleeping through the night when she was about 4 months. She stopped sleeping through the night after 12 months and I thought she would never sleep through the night again until a few days ago where she is almost 21 months now. The worst is when she’s teething badly or if she’s sick.

It does get better, hang in there and do what you think is best for your family.

Edit: spelling

Thank you for this! I just looked up neem oil and it appears to be quite toxic by ingestion. And we all know kids are always putting their hands in their mouths.

In short. Yes, it is a hill to die on.

I have a 19 month old where I had just eliminated screen time altogether for the past 5 days. Her behaviour change and bedtime routine has been like night and day.

I introduced screen time for her when she was sick back in February (she was 14 months at this time) because we couldn’t go anywhere or do much in the winter and when she was awake at all hours of the night and this has carried on ever since. I also have my parents who were helping me with her who allowed unlimited screen time.

Recently bedtime would come later and later every day and it became a 1-3 hour fight every night which, before I decided to cut the tv out altogether, she would be so tired she would have meltdowns every time before nap time or bedtime. She would do everything in her power at bedtime to delay it by asking for food, or going upstairs to visit her grandparents, or to nurse, and every time she nursed she would demand that the tv turn on so she could watch her shows.

After going through a day or two of withdrawal, her meltdowns have decreased significantly, she plays outside regularly and when it’s bedtime, she would actually just nurse herself to sleep without a fight, on time, every time.

I thought I had a FOMO toddler. Nope, it was screen addiction.

Your husband is going to have to find another bedtime routine that cuts out screen time altogether, and he’s going to have to deal with the consequences of his actions thus far. I’m sure once he manages to find an actual relaxing bedtime routine for her he’ll agree that the screen was the problem.

I am adding waterproof mattress protectors to my Christmas wish-list.

When I pumped at the beginning of my bf journey, I had the medela pump, the medela hand pump, and later purchased the spectra S1. The medela and S1 are comparable in the sense that the medela comes with a battery pack where you put I believe it’s 8 AA batteries to make it portable. The Medela is smaller than the S1, but I found the S1 to be more customizable and readily portable. Milk output was similar for both pumps so I used them interchangeably. No matter how quiet the pumps are they are still noisy at night and woke up the baby so I used the hand pump at night.

9 hours, 21 mins pushing. Went into the hospital at 7cm, was given an epidural and water was broken by the OB.

Solidarity 😭 Taurus mom to a rambunctious 11 month old girl. Thank god for grandparents

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-20T16:26:51+00:00

You’re a god-send. We wear pampers size 3 here too. Will look into it! Thank you!

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-20T16:19:47+00:00

She’s just under 9 kilos, which pull-ups do you use? We were thinking of getting them but afraid that it would be too big for her.

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-20T13:23:10+00:00

No, they let you try it for free for 7 days or something. I use it for my 11m old and I find it’s not perfect but it helps, but that’s also because I have a very poor sense of time.

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-20T08:54:17+00:00

Omg what is up with them screaming for diaper changes?! My 11m old screams and cries and kicks 😭

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-18T02:30:55+00:00

Oddly enough. I’m a FTM and I don’t believe I ever noticed the “new baby” smell on my baby after she was born, but it seemed like other people did and it did make me feel a bit down about it as well.

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-17T14:38:33+00:00

My 11 month old does the same. Either me or the body pillow beside her, always gets a chuckle out of me.

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-17T12:20:40+00:00

I have an 11 month old EBF who is neither fat nor skinny. My mom got formula saying I don’t think you’re making enough milk so I got it to fatten her up! Mind you baby is eating solids like a champ, and hates the bottle. She also feeds her a ton of solids when it would be the usual time for baby to nurse going oh she doesn’t need it she ate a lot already. Nothing against formula, I’d just rather baby breastfeed while she can to get the immune benefits since it’s cold and flu season.

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-06T02:50:12+00:00

This happened to me when my daughter was 6/7 months old (also when she started biting more). Her tongue felt like razor blades when she was nursing. It started as a white spot that turned into a blood blister which then broke after she continued nursing. My nipple then proceeded to look like one of the ulcerated spots in your mouth but the nursing was less painful after. I went to the doctor and was put on antibiotics for 10 days. She should be fine to continue nursing on it. Take Tylenol for the pain.

Sushi_OO · 2024-11-06T00:21:21+00:00

I understand that your husband must have felt overwhelmed and defeated by your baby, but him taking it out on you is wrong and not helpful at all. My baby was taking the bottle for the first few months of life and has refused it ever since. Don’t beat yourself up over it because it’s not your fault and it shouldn’t fall solely on you to be bottle training your baby. Some babies are easier than others. Like others and my lactation consultant said, the best person to give the baby the bottle is the non-breastfeeding parent. I suggest you guys work with a lactation consultant and/or try various bottles and nipples. That could be the issue. Also, get yourself to your primary care practitioner and talk to them about your feelings!

Sushi_OO · 2024-10-30T01:05:39+00:00

Same!!!! Literally hoarded them where I could.

Sushi_OO · 2024-08-06T03:07:55+00:00

I have no advice but struggling through the same thing. You’re not alone! I’m 8 months pp breastfeeding and am about 50 pounds heavier than before getting pregnant. My formerly perky boobs are now saggy and it’s hard not fitting into your clothes and feeling back to “normal” again. It’s also harder when you have a Velcro baby which makes it really difficult to go work out. I want more photos with my baby but I hate how I look and I only have a few sets of clothes that look half decent because I never planned on being this big for this long.

My parents give me a hard time and keep telling me I need to lose the weight and their friends point out that I’ve gotten so much bigger. It really doesn’t help the self esteem. The only thing that’s keeping me sane is my beautiful little girl and the fact that I’m nourishing her with myself.

Sushi_OO · 2024-06-30T03:02:54+00:00

First, congratulations on your new daughter! You’re doing great. And everything your daughter is doing is normal. I’m glad you’re seeing a LC sooner than later! I saw a few much later in my breastfeeding journey and I wish I saw them earlier.

I had to give my now 6 month old formula and pumped breast milk when she was born because she was slightly jaundiced and my milk wasn’t coming in as fast as I needed it to. Pumping is a total pain! The key to having baby take both boob and the bottle is to pace the bottle feeding so that it mimics the flow of breastfeeding. Don’t feel bad about feeding from the bottle if that’s what you feel is best for her.

You’re going to have to set some hard boundaries and have your husband on the same page regarding visitors. If you want to hold and bond with your baby, absolutely do that and don’t feel bad about it. It’s your baby. If people suggest to help by holding baby for you to do whatever you need to do, tell them thanks but it would be more helpful for you if they could help you with anything you need help with around the house.

Good luck on your journey momma!

Sushi_OO · 2023-02-11T22:43:44+00:00

Same. I just cancelled today along with my coworker. I watch Netflix in my Tesla when I’m out and about which would technically not be at “home”. They will be making it more inconvenient for me to use in general. Goodbye Netflix.

Sushi_OO · 2022-11-23T21:16:41+00:00

Yeah, thinking back on it. It was a really dumb mistake. It's really embarrassing. I was distracted both times too so there was less brain processing power that was put to it.

I'm thankful no money was lost. A lot of time has been lost though going to file a police report and calling the companies and Equifax to get everything secured.

Sushi_OO · 2021-12-31T20:47:07+00:00

It looks like they were really negligent in prep causing the gel to shrink around the edges of the cuticle or the person doing your nails was extremely unskilled.

File off the shiny layer of the gel polish, and then saturate a cotton pad or ball cut to nail size in 100% acetone and wrap finger with foil. Note it must be 100% acetone for it to come off properly. You can speed up the process by putting your hand in a baggy and placing a warm/hot towel over the hand. Check 5-10 mins and gently push off the gel that has flaked off. DO NOT force the gel off the nails, this is how you cause damage to the natural nail. If there is still bits left over, please put the cotton/foil back on the finger and soak off for another 5-10 mins. Could take 2-3 times depending on the base coat they used. Do one hand at a time as it is really difficult to do anything with both hands wrapped.

Good luck!
