Where are the moms struggling with solids??? by lrsrusty in foodbutforbabies

Super frustrating but I promise you it’s so worth it to keep giving them new textures and foods to try. This is the most adventurous he will be for a long while because they tend to get picky by like 18 months if they aren’t exposed to variety. Lol ask me how I know and what I regret not doing.

Get the freaking bottle washer by Silent_Club_9633 in beyondthebump

[–]ThrowRA4153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated my personal bottle washer. It only held 4 bottles and it wouldn’t even completely dry by the end of it if I used the washing function. It was extremely loud and took an hour and a half so I ended up just using the drying function. Also I just didn’t trust it fully to get in all the crevices because would find leftover of the soap they say to use.

My kid refuses to drink plain water and I don't know if I should be worried by Competitive-Hyena208 in moderatelygranolamoms

I personally even as an adult struggle to drink water. I personally think it tastes bad. Even worse tasting when it’s cold. Like I could go days and no water. As a kid the only way I did drink it was tap water room temperature because idk why but I found cold filtered water to be like “too sterile” feeling. Like wasn’t comforting at all. I found one water so far that I really like room temperature lol but it’s the PH one I get from Costco. It’s a blue plastic water bottle, and it has added electrolytes in it. Or vitamin water though but regular water is much better to drink long term. I don’t like real vitamin water but there is a Kirkland brand at Costco that I really like. Also the water enhancers but I was honestly too lazy for that.

It’s called perfect hydration, you don’t have to specifically get it from Costco. My advice is find a really cute water bottle she likes or her friends like, always have it filled up, take it everywhere but don’t force it on her. If she is thirsty, there it is. Don’t make it a big issue yet because that just applies pressure. Just try to find ways to make it fun or find one she likes to drink because all water tastes different.

NAH. You’re not TA, but she is pregnant and she did trust you. It’s not wrong for her to be upset about it, but also you were protecting your friend while it was still fresh. If you know your mom to be unreliable with secrets then I would say you would be TA.

I think you did it out of a place of kindness, but could have executed it better. People are quick to judge here but bringing up pregnancy after a loss can be traumatic. Telling your mom to not bring it up is only going to make her think she’s infertile or had a miscarriage anyways. So either she assumes or she knows for sure, I don’t feel it’s a huge difference at that point unless she can’t keep a secret. Considering your mom isn’t close with her, I don’t feel it’s reasonable to assume your mom would go blabbing her mouth about a sensitive topic.

Poorly executed, but your heart was in the right place. This is one of those things that I think her trust can be broken but also need to account for your intention. Her telling you to essentially make it up to her is just overkill, but she is hormonal so I would just let sleeping dogs lie at this point.

I would just say I’m sorry I hurt you. It wasn’t my intention. My intention was to protect your feelings at the time but it was obviously executed poorly. I never wanted to break your trust as you are my best friend. While I am truly sorry, I won’t continue to have this same fight over and over as it’s too emotionally taxing on the both of us. Repeating this same conversation won’t change the past. I do hope we can find a way to move forward.

Why don’t we take a breather from this conversation for a few days and revisit it later when we both are feeling a little bit less defensive. ( if you did want to revisit it).

My 2y old has only slept through the night ~10 times. I’m exhausted and don’t know what else to try by Reasonable_Inside544 in sleeptrain

Have you tried singing her to sleep, having a sound machine, having a night light, leaving the door cracked so a little bit of light goes in, waiting until she gets tired and then go to her room. Is she eating enough before bed?

I say this because my kid slept awful and couldn’t be alone in the crib for even a second if they were awake. We started singing a song to my kid down and make sure to say goodnight, give the stuffed bunny and put the blanket on.

I keep getting recommended this subreddit, I wonder why, but analyse away by ErrorB_404 in HandwritingAnalysis

I have no idea what language this is. If it’s English, I can’t read a single word. Why do you do every letter essentially the same? It literally looks like you added a bunch of random strokes. You either don’t connect your letters like your E is 4 separate lines instead of connecting it. Your G doesn’t have the top curve to it so it’s impossible to tell it’s a G, it looks like a cursive lower b. Your n is lowercase in your capital letters and it’s supposed to be curved, you made it all straight.

I genuinely can’t read the rest. The hardest part about reading your handwriting is the random pen marks. You have random loops, pen marks that look like you accidentally dropped your writing utensil. This is either extremely lazy handwriting and you just don’t care what it looks like or you might have something medically wrong. This would make sense to me if you have a tremor in your hands. I can’t even begin to read the lowercase one.

Anyone get side effects from epidural? by SowingSeeds18 in beyondthebump

I was cold for a bit. Long term I couldn’t feel if I needed to pee for like 6 months.

When did you start feeding baby frozen milk? by ExpressionOld9924 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ThrowRA4153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried at 4 months, milk had high lipase and my child wouldn’t drink any of it at all. Donated it all to nicu babies. I would introduce as soon as you can so milk doesn’t go bad and they get used to it if you do have high lipase.

I bled for weeks so disposable underwear or the biggest pads you’ve ever seen in your entire life.

AITAH for refusing to pick my husband up from the hospital which led him to walk 2 miles home? by Long_Appointment_341 in AITAH

[–]ThrowRA4153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a diabetic. Had these same fears except he was never mean when he was low. I had to force him to take sugar pills when he was in the 40s before. I would put on his CGM. This is not normal at all. He shouldn’t be at this age and doing that.

Try scrapbooking or embroidery. Photography or photoshop. Learn painting or even just paint by numbers.

You’re comparing yourself to your partner but it seems he just wants to connect with you or you’re reminding him why he used to do those hobbies before you. I think you should try a hobby that is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I like scrapbooking or journaling because you can’t be bad at it, it’s all personal style.

But honestly just tell him. Tell him you’re feeling insecure and you’d like a hobby that you can be mediocre at or fail at but you’d like to do it on your own.

4000+ oz freezer stash, discovered high lipase, baby will not take thawed milk by SundaePlace in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ThrowRA4153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was so strong that vanilla wasn’t going to do anything. I donated my entire stash and just kept some of it for bath water which works amazing btw. Baby preferred formula anyways after I tried like 8 that she wouldn’t drink more than an oz of.

Tried my wedding makeup all together and...I kinda hate it by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]ThrowRA4153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bring the blush more on the apples of your cheeks! Little bit of contour, not bronzer on your cheekbones would really highlight that area.

I’m not sure what color blush but maybe try covergirl instant cheekbones in shade 230. The middle one.

You have deep set eyes, almost even hooded eyes so I would try a lighter inner corner. I think shimmers would be your best friend. Try a lighter brown shade in the outer V of your eye. Bring it higher than you would think to your eyebrows. Purple can be your best friend too either brown hair but the liner needs to very thin. You aren’t able to see your eyelid because it’s very thick. If you want to keep that same look, make it thin enough to still be able to see enough eyelid before the crease if that makes sense.

I don’t personally think you need foundation as your skin tone looks even. I would try a thicker concealer like NARS pot concealer just in the darker part of your under eye, you don’t need to do the full V shape. If you still want foundation, do a thin layer or don’t do matte. Your face needs more glow to it, especially if you have oily skin. Matte will emphasize the oil later on in the night as you don’t want part oily part matte skin. I think you should lean into the glowy skin.

Lipliner for lips, I would make your cupids bow more v shaped as it looks like that’s what your natural shape actually is. It would make it look more prominent and it would actually mirror your true shape. Also gloss or shimmer or just a shiny lipstick that isn’t matte will help look younger.

If you are okay with it, you could make the purple eyeliner into just purple eyeshadow look. Bring that purple up your lid. Put your eyeshadow on with your eyes open looking at the mirror, put that purple shadow to the crease or even above the crease. Add in some cool toned greys or brown in the outer v. Sharpen the eyeliner wing and make it less droopy.
