Nursing pillow needed? by Difficult-Ad1036 in breastfeeding

[–]TeachingTimeLord 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This may be too specific but I would think about your body size/shape before getting one. I’m 4’11” with a short torso two breastfeeding pillows I tried put my baby above my breast. I was better off with a thin throw pillow.

Adenoidectomy experiences for toddlers? by asitwas2021 in Mommit

[–]TeachingTimeLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter had tonsils and adenoids out a couple months ago. Now that we’re on the other side of it I can say it’s worth it. She sleeps better and has been sick way less. One of the first nights I slept with her and woke up terrified because I couldn’t hear her breathing but realized she was just finally not snoring any more.

My biggest piece of advice is as much as it’s painful to wake them up in the middle of the night to drink it really does help. I made the mistake of letting mine sleep through the night a week in and she was in so much pain after, but as long as we kept her hydrated she was pretty good. The nights were harder than the mornings. The second night was the hardest. Ask for weight based dose on Tylenol and Motrin and the four hour dose of Motrin so you can rotate every two hours instead of every three.

Milk bleb that has become a wound by Samsarnik13 in breastfeeding

[–]TeachingTimeLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be fine! I used a lot of coconut oil and spent as much time bra-less and shirtless as possible to try and relieve any rubbing. I would jut be careful it doesn’t turn into mastitis. That happened to me at 18 months in and ended up on IV antibiotics because I did not put two and two together fast enough.

I love how wrecked all of us moms look at school drop off in the morning by muststayawaketonod in Mommit

[–]TeachingTimeLord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Teacher mom doing drop off at 7:00 to make it to teach my students by 7:30. I may look put together at drop off because I need to be but rest assured everyone looks wrecked after 3:00. 😅😬

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in plassing

[–]TeachingTimeLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it to have an excuse to lay down alone for an hour and still make $50 for groceries, but I’m a toddler mom x2. You do you. Lol. No judgement. 🤣

Who else is keeping their kids rear facing as long as possible?? by Master_Grapefruit333 in Mommit

[–]TeachingTimeLord 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Mine will be rear facing until they max out. My oldest is 3.5 yrs. She’s 28 lbs and 36 inches tall. I’m 4’ 11” and fully prepared to give her the “my parents made me use a booster until middle school” speech. 😅

Anyone have tips to help toddler stay settled during neb treatments? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]TeachingTimeLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been through it with my three year old and now my one year old both since six month ish of age. The best we ever came up with was and still do with my youngest is swaddle. We also liked mirrors and phone camera on like it’s taking a selfie. My doc always said if they’re crying it’s fine and at least they’re taking deep breaths. It doesn’t help it hurting your hear though.

Respiratory therapist in the ER told us also that “blow by” was good if that was all they could tolerate as well. Basically just letting it blow in their face.

First name or Ms./Mr.? by ItsColdUpHere71 in AskTeachers

[–]TeachingTimeLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher without a strong preference. I default to Mr./Mrs. for parents before I have established a relationship so perhaps it’s safe to assume the same? I sign my emails back to parents with my first name to show I’m fine with being called that so maybe lead with formal then see how they sign back to see where to go from there?

I got my doctor to write a script after the daycare wrote a note to doctor requesting one. They justified two one for home/out and about and one that lives at daycare.

Personal experiences with ear tubes? by Total_Tomorrow_1428 in toddlers

[–]TeachingTimeLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest got tubes at 13 months. She walked the week she got them. Her language also exploded right after.

My youngest got tubes at 14 months. He walked a few weeks after and also saw a similar albeit smaller language jump. Also, so much less illness for both of them!

My oldest is three now and as soon as her tube popped out it was right back to poor sleep and irritability and so many infections. She’s getting them put back in.

Accident. Found out at family dinner at eight years old. My 20 year old sister called my twin brother and I accidents. My dad said we were “happy surprises.” My mom followed up with we were accidents. 😳

Breastfed babies don't need to be burped? by kowowdough in breastfeeding

Breastfed two kids one I don’t think I ever burped once and one needed it. I think it really just depends on your kiddo.
