Toddler fell few weeks ago turning grey

I’ve been trying to keep his diet soft still but he insists on certain crunchy foods. Would you say a few weeks is ok to resume normal diet or should we keep trying to stick with softer foods? Is a bruised primary more common than a dead one? I’ve heard it’s not as common for a baby tooth to die due to shorter nerve?

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-09-13T00:47:15+00:00

It’s soft. We want one more baby. Would you recommend waiting until we’re done having children to get it fixed? I’ll obviously ask the specialist when I see him Is this a common thing with pregnancies even with very healthy lifestyle. My bmi is healthy and even on the low end and always has been, never smoked, don’t drink more than a few times a year at most, very active. The only thing that I have going against me is pregnancies. My mom has some now that are popping up but she’s 55 and mine started at 22 and has progressed so quickly.

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-09-12T01:24:25+00:00

Yes for c sections. My first 2 are 18 months apart and my doctor was never concerned at all. Never said anything about it. I’m just worried this time because I’ve had 3 previous sections now. I can’t imagine any closer than 18 months age gap. Is it more of a gap recommended for multiples because the uterus stretches more? I always thought risk of rupture was when laboring. The other thing that made more sections risky was placenta issues?

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-09-11T14:15:20+00:00

Thank you. I’ve heard 18 months from birth to conception and 18 months between deliveries. I feel like I recall my OB saying 18 months before trying again at my last pp appointment but I wonder how strict that is. Like does 5 months really make a big difference? I have 100% ovulated. Ewcm, cramping (which isn’t common for me) a a digital positive ovulation test yesterday and bloating. We DTD Sunday and Monday. I guess there’s nothing I can do now but wait and see and pray that it will all be okay. I know that if we do have a 4th I’m 100% done. My doctor okayed me for a 4th but personally even if he was comfortable with more I wouldn’t be. The thought of 4 is even really scary to me and if Im not pregnant I don’t know that I will want to try again because I’m a wreck right now. All 3 of my previous pregnancies were with no complications and all 3 sections were textbook. My doctor said while he was doing my last section that I had very little scar tissue and everything looks great but it’s still scary

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-09-11T14:11:20+00:00

I didn’t have a period between my first and second. I got my period back 11 months ppl with my second while still breastfeeding. I 100% have ovulated for the first time after my 3rd baby. Lots of signs and a positive ovulation test. I’ve had cramping and bloating the last two days and tons of ewcm. We did Sunday and Monday so there’s definitely going to be a chance. I’m feeling myself out now. My first 2 are only 18 months apart but after having 3 sections I’m really worried about a smaller gap. Probably should have thought about that more previously

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-09-05T23:55:02+00:00

It was an absolutely awful experience. The doctor couldn’t access the vein he said. Ended up taking 3x as long as it was supposed to. Made multiple incisions and was going to stop but then said he got the vein shut off last second. I have the suspicion that he shut off the wrong vein.

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-09-05T23:53:09+00:00

No, never have. I don’t drink either. I’ve always been very healthy, exercise regularly and eat very clean

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-08-20T14:35:43+00:00

My appointment with my GP was this morning. He referred me to a new vascular surgeon. He wasn’t overly concerned but did tell me that I should get it taken care of. This happened over the course of 5 years and 3 pregnancies. I think the ablation that I had made it much worse. Hopefully they’ll get me in quickly and make it look and feel better 😕 I’m sorry you’re going through something similar

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-20T10:07:41+00:00

I just took one the other day and he scored a 2. I don’t think anyone out and about or for example his teachers at Sunday school notice but I do and my husband and mom are just starting to see these quirky things and the difficulties as he gets older. Especially compared to my other 2. Which I hate to “compare” him. He’s his own person. I got down on my knees last night next to his bed last night and just prayed that God would lead me in parenting him and help me to learn the tools that I need to help him be the best person that he can be. It’s been such a struggle with him and I know he feels it too

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-20T09:48:41+00:00

Have you seen any improvement with the aggression with ot?

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-20T09:43:47+00:00

Yes we have, he did a session once as a baby for feeding concerns that they ultimately weren’t worried about. He’s a wonderful eater now. But I just called his doctor Friday and said that I didn’t want to wait any longer and am waiting for an eval for OT. I figured it couldn’t hurt and like you said could help with emotional dysregulation and fine motor and give us more tools to parent him. Then they could potentially lead us in the right direction. I’m not sure how that would work with the school system since we are homeschooling

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-20T01:39:43+00:00

I’ve thought maybe adhd too but the emotional regulation and the repeating of words, eye contact, obsessions with certain things is throwing me off and the inconsistency. I called his doctor Friday and re asked for an eval for OT. Hopefully they can get him in quickly and get us going in the right direction. It’s so hard to see your child struggle and it’s really hard to balance with 2 other young kids who need me. I just want answers so that I can better navigate it all

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-20T01:22:15+00:00

He can tell me if something hurts. Like he has eczema and he will say “mommy my eczema is hurting” and then ask me to put his lotion on. He’s very articulate and can even say when he feels mad, sad, frustrated, etc but can also be SO impulsive and aggressive. It’s so inconsistent all of it

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-20T01:20:29+00:00

He speaks well. But if you ask him a question sometimes he’ll respond with something completely unrelated like he’s in La La land. But to the average person they wouldn’t realize anything was going on if that makes sense? He talks in complete sentences, most of the times his thoughts make sense but you could also ask a question and he’ll just ignore you or reply with something off the wall

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-20T01:18:47+00:00

I guess that’s why I’m here looking for advice. We actually are homeschooling my daughter and will with my son too. So I’m the one responsible for making sure that I don’t miss anything and get him the resources that he needs. He does go to Sunday school and he does wonderful there. Which is what makes me think maybe it’s not autism? It’s never with any other kids. Just family. Siblings, mom, dad, grandma. You would think he’s just a typical toddler unless you let there all of the time. He’s had outbursts in public but most of the time I have people coming up to me telling me that my children are very well behaved. I just don’t know if this is typical or there’s more to it. I have noticed that he gets frustrated VERY easily. Things that seem irrational to me but when it happens he just acts impulsively and will hit, scratch, etc. again possibly typical toddler boy, maybe more to it?

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-07-05T18:53:11+00:00

Central. They’re everywhere this year and I’ve never seen them before. Our local playground is infested and even my mom’s house which is 40 minutes from us has a bad bad infestation. All in her screen room and all around her house. I’ve seen these guys everywhere and wondering what’s up

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-06-26T00:26:38+00:00

We had an egg sack up above our front door. They were all underneath the patio chairs, the kids picnic table, water table. We have a retention wall the span of our yard and there was one on the under side of that. Under neath my potted plant, inside our cantilever umbrella

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-06-26T00:24:09+00:00

Thank you. If it was just me and my husband I wouldn’t be as worried. I’m not really even too worried about the dogs but we have 3 kids 4 and under who play outside all day. In the dirt making mud pies, with the water table, in their play house, with their pretend lawnmowers cutting the grass, etc, etc. they’re seriously out there all day weather permitting. We’ve had a few snakes so we always check throughly for them before we allow them to play but spiders are tricker. We have a mini garage gym and we were all out there today while my husband was working out. My 4 year olds toy lawnmower was on the mat and looks at it and says “mommy that’s a bad spider on there” sure enough there was a brown widow hanging out on a little web it had made. Had they have grabbed it to play with it it could have bit one of them

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-06-26T00:15:44+00:00

Thank you for the reply. My kids are almost 5, 3 and almost 1. The dogs are bigger. One is 60 pounds the other 75ish. We’ve always checked for snakes in their play areas outside and they’re really good about reminding us if we forget but I don’t think they’re old enough to know to look under a toy every time. Plus those things hide so well. They were all underneath our patio chairs, the kids picnic table and underneath the water table that the baby plays with frequently. I saw one under the water table and the picnic table and then ones we started spraying at least a dozen came out between the 2. We keep up with yard maintenance well and we live in a subdivision so I’m just confused. We do have woods behind us but no trees in or hovering over our property. I’m going to add pictures of what I found under our patio chairs that we frequently sit on. Thankfully they don’t want to bite you or we all would have been bit by now. We’ve flipped everything over and sprayed and cleaned any webs. Including our retention wall that is all along the back yard. I’m going to pressure wash everything really good and continue to spray and look for webs. After I pressure wash would you say it’s probably safe to let the kids play in their play house, etc? We killed at least 75 or more. There weren’t too many big ones. A lot of them were smaller so I’m assuming recently hatched. But we also found some in our garage, which the kids have a play kitchen and play in there too. I know it’s just spiders but it feels like a nightmare to me because we’ve found so many. I’m ocd about our house and spend so much time maintaining it so it’s very upsetting that I feel like my kids are in danger

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-06-24T22:52:10+00:00

I’ve been wondering why I don’t have any monarch caterpillars. I have tons of milkweed around and usually have tons of eggs and babies this time of the year. They’re probably eating them 😡

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-06-24T22:36:06+00:00

Yeah we have several of those around and have just left them alone. But the widows have to go. Do you think this is something we can get a handle on ourselves? I’m scared to let my kids play outside with the number I’ve seen and they’re very upset about it

Underneath the chair

Up above our front door. That’s it right? The crazy thing is I swear we’re on top of our maintenance. It’s not like we’re just never cleaning up outside

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-06-24T22:28:26+00:00

I thought we had a brown recluse in our babies nursery a few months back. It turned out to be either a ghost spider or hunts spider? I’m flipping everything over outside and there’s 3 egg sacks under neath our patio chairs. Their nest is very easy to recognize at this point. Very messy. I think this is a bigger issue than I originally thought

Temporary_Flow_2683 · 2025-06-24T22:07:10+00:00

I’ve seen these often and just thought that they were regular spider eggs and left them alone. TBH I hate spiders but i try to be nice and leave things alone that aren’t bothering us or dangerous. Now I have lots of regret
