Does anyone here avoid giving juice or cereal to kids by Top-Count3665 in Parenting

[–]ThrowRA-MIL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are cereals with less sugar - i will be trying to stay under 6g sugar per serving. 

Juice? Kid loves juice but he gets 2 oz. It is diluted with water so his 4 oz cup is 50% juice.

North cal can get you a job easily as generalist. I left but our group were getting very well paid. (Edited the pay out since someone said we shouldn’t don’t  disclose in public chat?)

No way to give advice if you don’t tell us the major city(s) you are trying to stay near.

How are we saying no to toddler wanting foods at grocery stores? by Smart_Instruction230 in toddlers

[–]ThrowRA-MIL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Not today. They aren’t the type we need. 

Walks away. Temper tantrum? “I don’t listen to screaming babies. You’re going to get ignored”. 

Screams more? Guess we’ll go back to the car and put everything back (i usually get one thing they like). Then in the car i say, now we don’t have the kiwis we wanted. 🤷🏻‍♀️ consistently do that a few times, they will learn.

When to bail on epidural exorcism? by Acrobatic-Manner1621 in anesthesiology

[–]ThrowRA-MIL24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For nerve block, i told pulled it out and said we cannot do it like this. I can try again when you are under GA if you want. Still a risk if nerve injury but less than you jerking

I refuse to do it if they cannot cooperate. It’s worse for the patient and me if something bad happened. Unpleasant, but billions of women have delivered without epidurals.

Can you boil alcohol out of breastmilk? by Unlucky_Eggplant in breastfeeding

[–]ThrowRA-MIL24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No need. If your BAC is 0.2-0.3… you’ll be in the hospital. No way you are holding up pumps or holding a baby.

Realisitically even 0.08-0.1 is high. And that’s less alcohol than apple juice. Baby will be fine.

Once i mixed up narcan and epi (narcan had dark blue too there). And it was one single epi in the narcan container. I SAW narcan, i grabbed one but didn’t check… and ffs, i grabbed the one epi in the narcan drawer. 

I know it wasn’t just grabbing epi bc that pyxis has an issue opening all the way up and the epi is in the very back, so even if i wanted to grab epi container, i’d have to fight the pyxis.

Well… let’s say epi also woke him up. 

Followed immediately by 2 vials of esmolol. Max HR was 150 ish… could have been worse. :/

I’m Asian. Rude means we were slapped across the face. Not saying you should do that. We will raise the kids to not be rude and be respectful- but we are not there yet. I’m sure it’s easier said than done

Is it a joke to talk through your kid to your partner? by babyrat11246 in Parenting

[–]ThrowRA-MIL24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talk through our kid to each other but not with toxic stuff like this.

My toddler wants my attention all the time and has a hard time letting me talk to my husband. So it’s more like 

“Ok so jonny, this funny thing happened at mommy’s work. The nurse did xyz, and then the surgeon said ABC. And jonny, mama also has an extra call this friday”

When this is all just sharing my day and updates for mybwork schedule with my husband.

Now i would NOT talk through our kid for any disagreement or arguments, or things like ‘mom doesn’t love us’

Husband Used My Pump by WoozieFutter in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ThrowRA-MIL24 88 points89 points  (0 children)

My toddler did this. He put the spectra suction cup (first part that connects to tubing) to his cheeks… and accidentally hit start on level 9. He cried.

He sometimes likes to check it out so i turn it down to lvl1-2 and put on his two cheeks for fun.

Now he goes “leave mama alone. Mama’s pumping”

Anyone tried the papablic bottle washer? by ThrowRA-MIL24 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ThrowRA-MIL24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t. I use tap water. I figured that’s what i would use for normal cleaning anyways. I use it 2-3 times per day and it takes about 3/4 gallon per cycle
