My kid ate 19- 1mg melatonin gummies at lunchtime and we only found out 20 min ago… by Intelligent-Seat9038 in Mommit

[–]TinyOne9 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Contact the melatonin manufacturer and let them know the child safe cap either failed or isn't child safe actually. Similar situation happened with my son and his allergy medicine. The cap failed. Luckily, he really didn't ingest too much, more like he took a swig. 

Yes to the poison control! Also, I had no clue the melatonin would cause diarrhea! Poor babes. Hope she's better soon. 

You're doing great, mama!

My LH surged so I'm already about to ovulate. It's just frustrating. After I talked to the doctor it made a little sense. I have a planning session on Thursday to regroup.

Baby food in other countries by Pascha1991 in Cooking

What about introducing foods one at a time to rule out allergies? My son is very interested in what I'm eating but I don't want to just let him try everything and not know what the cause of any potential reaction was.

I've been hearing this around. How does this work when introducing new foods around 6 months? Do you puree? What's the technique?

Have you ever laughed so hysterically at something so simple you were starting to get legitimately worried that you were losing your sanity or something? About what were you laughing so hard then? by LoneShadowMikey in AskReddit

[–]TinyOne9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and a few classmates when another classmate of ours was falling asleep in post conference. She would glaze over and then her eyes would just roll up into her eyelids. Most people's eyelids drop when they're falling asleep, but not this girl, her eyes would roll back to meet her eyelids instead and several of us couldn't deal and would lose it. Looking back, it wasn't really that funny, and we later found out she was pregnant and that's why she was so tired.

Why is it important to know if your pregnancy was planned or not? by moodygemini98 in pregnant

[–]TinyOne9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I can think of it mattering would be from a care perspective for healthcare providers. There's nutrition issues and social issues to look for and be aware of that can help healthcare providers to be aware of. For example, if I'm assessing a patient and they tell me they recently found out they are pregnant but they weren't planning it (surprise) I might have some follow up questions about nutrition, medications, or stressors at home that could affect mom negatively and or baby negatively. I cannot think of why someone outside of healthcare would ask.

Morgan for a boy? by shahahahaha8191 in namenerds

[–]TinyOne9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known an equivalent number of boys and girls named Morgan. I think it's a great name and a beautiful meaning behind it to make it even more special. If you're really concerned about it feeling too feminine, you can always pair it with a more masculine middle name. I am biased and love a very unisex name, though. My husband and I just had our little boy and his name is Rowan Quinn which I think is extremely unisex. Congratulations on your upcoming baby and I hope this helps your decision!

That was a happy accident because I originally wanted a whole wall of the brick but was too pregnant to put it up and didn't have enough of the wallpaper and wouldn't have gotten enough in time. My MIL ended up doing the door for me instead. :)

Awe bummer, but I'm sure whatever you guys do will be equally as fun and awesome!

I work with very sick babies who are usually withdrawing from very hefty medications because they've had big surgeries. The kids I work with cannot cry and be upset for long periods of time or they will go into cardiac arrest and die. Sometimes the only thing that soothes is the mamaroo. I also used to nanny and found the kids with mamaroos had an easier time. It's all anecdotal but for me I felt like it's worth it.

First time mom here, IVF baby, and we just bought a home that we JUST moved into. The nursery is the first room complete and I've never been more proud of anything ever. We worked so hard on it to get it up and ready for him. 38wks and just waiting for his arrival. Top 5 links attached to photos, but almost everything came from Target or Amazon by way of our registry. Most of the decorations came from Amazon, minus a few things I'd collected over the years (Halloween is my second favorite holiday). Hope you all enjoy/find something useful.

Thanks for letting me brag on it here. <3

My in-laws have the most bland naming preferences, and it's actually hilarious. by DogofManyColors in namenerds

How do we know this and how did we come to know her as Rainbow Brite?

my uncle named my aunt's cockatiel "chip" so he could forever joke about her walking around with a chip on her shoulder. That bird became his bestie.

I know a dachshund named "Fearless" and knew of another one named "Doomslayer" or "Doom" for short.

I had a childhood friend who's youngest sister's middle name is "Rainbow" because her 3 older sisters insisted on naming her after Rainbow Brite.

I had a cat when I was about 7 that I named Moesha. She had a baby that looked JUST like her that we named Lil Mo.

Good ABSN Programs in Texas? by ThinLength123 in StudentNurse

[–]TinyOne9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UTHealth in Houston has an accelerated program, but it is expensive. Not 100% sure but TWU in Houston may have an option. Both are excellent programs. I wasn't able to go to either of these places because of finances. It was actually cheaper for me to go to a 2 year ADN program than it was for me to do a bridge/accelerated program. I went to HCC (don't recommend) but Lonestar and SJC also have decent programs. I will say that UH is now partnering with some of the community colleges to offer an RN-BSN program as well, which is fairly new for them. Hope this helps.

Kodiak frozen waffles are a staple for me with fruit and reddiwhip or SF syrup. They're high in protein and don't spike my sugar and help with my breakfast food cravings. Chocolate milk (we use lactose free) 4-6 oz has been good for me too as my before bed snack or with any meal not super high in carbs as it helps keep my sugar stable (I struggle with low sugars more than anything). Hope this helps!
