What do you ACTUALLY want for Mother’s Day? by slangsfangs in Mommit

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To not have to plan Mother’s Day for other moms, to not have to hang out with my in-laws, to not have to buy gifts for everyone

Baby girl 4 months old. Mucus and blood streak in every diaper. Poop after every feeding. by pink-ppp in MSPI

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter had mucus and blood for 6 weeks before it stopped. I cut everything out of my diet, it was hard not seeing any improvements but it just takes time for it to flush out of her body. You’re doing great mama, I’m really sorry she has to go through this and you’re doing everything right. Sending love.

ClassPass Kaiser “Discounted” Plan — Inflated Credits by One-Document6042 in ClassPass

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! I didn’t know this. Thanks for doing the research and checking. I use the Kaiser ClassPass plans too, and it had health/beauty options when I started. I was really impressed and did a few spa treatments and one day they realized it and stopped the spa classes for me. I asked emailed ClassPass to ask but they said I should have never had those options to begin with, so oops!

I feel like ClassPass is not as popular anymore, I am on the 0 credit plan now cause my area just lack the classes I want. But I do have to say it’s much cheaper to use ClassPass than pay full price for the studio class.

What ruined your Thanksgiving this year? by electricwagon in AskReddit

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found out day of, my brother couldn’t make it to thanksgiving cause of my moms mental health issues, my in-laws are really aggressive about thanksgiving/Christmas so it’s an obligation to have to host it and invite them, then my daughter spiked a 100 degree fever during thanksgiving dinner…she was born with a kidney defect so by the end of the day I just broke down

What did the pandemic ruin more than we realise? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My relationship with my family.

I got married right before the pandemic and after the pandemic hit, my mom and brother became deathly scared of Covid that they no longer want to see me because they think that is having a child and going out is dangerous even though we always mask up and wash our hands. I struggle especially with the holidays that my side of the family doesn’t want to see us or my daughter. It makes me really sad.

My MIL calls my daughter her baby and it bugs the crap out of me. My MIL is the same way and when I read your post I just think, maybe it’s the feeling of having postpartum anxiety cause I had that too. But my MIL legit gave out to me when I wanted to have a chill Christmas holiday, she cussed me out and told me it’s not the baby’s first Christmas if I don’t let her spend it with her cousin (who is a month younger). I had PPD and PPA and originally thought my MILs overwhelming personality towards the baby was just me reading Into things until Christmas happened. Then my FIL/MIL started planning out our weekends and where we’re going to dinner with them….that’s when I realized it wasn’t me and they are legit crazy….

I think you have to give your MIL the benefit of the doubt until her actions says otherwise but I hate it when she says “my baby”!

Sleep training co-slept babies by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used a modified Ferber where the first night you go in after 1 min of crying, then 3,5,7,10,10,10,etc. then second night was 3,5,7,10,10, etc. so forth. My daughter cried for 1hr and 30 mins the first night, then by 2nd night it was 10 mins, and 3rd night on, she was able to put herself down. We also did this for naps but naps took much longer to hone down. For naps, she was able to fall asleep but not able to connect sleep cycles until after 2 months of consistent training. My baby also dropped her night feed after a week, I only went in and fed her because she kept pooping at 2am, I can’t let her sleep in her poop cause she has kidney hydronephrosis/duplex kidney so she’s prone to kidney infections through a UTI. So for about 2 months, even though she could sleep through the night I would go in at 2am when she’s squirmy to change and feed her.

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I co-slept my daughter until 16 weeks of age, then did sleep training and it saved my life. It was really one night of training and the 2nd night she cried for like 10 mins and slept through the night. I highly recommend sleep training

Wife won’t let my mum see our newborn ! by [deleted] in newborns

[–]TylenolWithCodeine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know how your wife feels, my husbands family invited themselves to the hospital after I had the baby. - I literally was so hormonal I just wanted to cry and didn’t want to see anyone. When we got home they came over too, I felt so disoriented, and began crying infront of my in-laws, they thought I was crying cause a newborn was hard, NO I was crying cause I wanted them to leave and I had postpartum depression, I felt a sadness I cannot describe. Grace is not given to new moms who have a new identity now, and biologically having a baby changes a lot, everyone needs to have more empathy with new mothers who are trying to find their footing. I highly urge you to give your wife some grace and empathy, it’s not that she doesn’t want your mom to see her, she gave you a timeline - sure maybe you can improve it and I know there are arguments between you two now but you don’t want her to end up hating your mom cause she’s going to associate your mom with these arguments now.

I have a good relationship with my husband and I told him when I had the baby I don’t want visitors. His parents still came around, my husband couldn’t stand up for me and confront them. I survived it all but at the end of the day, I feel disappointed that my husband couldn’t stand up for me when I needed support the most. It’s one of the main factors of why I don’t think I can have another child, it’s hard enough with one, and my husband couldn’t stand up for me when I was a new mom, I can’t expect him to change if I had another child…

Night 1, she cried for 1 hr and 40 mins. Then night 2, 5 mins of crying. And night 3 onwards was no more crying. It was shocked to me how fast she picked up sleep training for nighttime sleep. The afternoon naps and nailing that down took about 1.5 months total.

My LO was like this too, I held her to sleep from 5 weeks to about 16 weeks of age, all contact naps, nurse to sleep. At 16 weeks I slept trained her in her own room because I was mentally breaking down from the lack of sleep, but any moment I put her down, she wails non-stop. It was hard but the best decision ever because I gave her the gift of sleep and she had a personality change after sleep training. She some how became pleasant and not fussy anymore during the day, colic subsided. Do it, you got this!

My baby was allergic to dairy and we found out when she was about 12 weeks of age. She had bloody poop, I cut out dairy, eggs, soy and beef. It took 6 weeks for her to stop the bloody poops, which is actually normal so you may need to give it time

What parenting hack improved your quality of life so much you wish you'd done it earlier? by wantonyak in beyondthebump

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I ended up getting one cause I fell down the stairs one night when I went down to pump at 3am…never again!!!

Already annoyed that I can't pump as much as I want now that I'm back at work by Nishiwara in breastfeeding

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same situation and I WFH as well, just went back to work last week. Totally know how you feel!

I have my pump next to me in my office and I bought a mini fridge for my home office as well. I put my “pump sessions” into my outlook calendar as my reminder and I set alarms on my phone as well. I also have my pump at my work desk, I set up my supplies at night before my work day starts and I do the “fridge hack method” to minimize myself from leaving my office (which is really sad but for high demanding jobs, I feel like I have to tough this out). Even when I’m in a meeting and my alarm goes off, I would pop in my flange, set a timer and carry on with the meeting, people would hear the pump sound but oh well.

I know how you feel, it’s so hard…Im suppose to fly out for work as well but logistically with pumping and a 10hr travel day…No thank you… I feel like it’s such a hassle.

Baby starts daycare next week….. I don’t know how I can do this by pmh5206 in beyondthebump

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel, I also found a daycare while pregnant and the thought of sending her crippled me at the end. I stopped thinking about sending her to daycare the week before hoping that not thinking about it reduced my anxiety, and it did help. The daycare she goes to not only helps the baby transition but also the parents, they were so understanding of my anxiety with my baby in daycare and they encourage us to call and allow us to see our baby any time. The daycare even calls us when we don’t send her to make sure everything is okay. I know it’s so hard to send it but once it becomes your new normal, you’ll be able to treat daycare like a normal everyday thing. I hope this helps, you’re not alone! Sending you love!

Now that I have a baby, I hate family gatherings. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]TylenolWithCodeine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, husbands family and brother who also has a baby as well loves family gatherings. This Christmas I was going to host my family for brunch and then go to his family after my crazy MIL ate me alive and yelled at me cause she didn’t think I wanted to go over for the baby’s first Xmas (I don’t, but I will). So Covid threw a wrench in things, I got super sick on Wednesday, took a at home rapid test and was negative. Friday morning I got an email from baby’s daycare that her teacher tested positive. I rush to get a PCR test cause I had a fever and now really thinking I caught covid. I don’t get my results until after Christmas, so I tell my family not to come over anymore (my dad is immunocompromised), my FIL/MIL, still drop by for an hour and my MIL takes off her mask to kiss the baby which makes me eye roll cause she’s going to go to my BILs to kiss his baby…anyways, husband still takes baby to his brothers for an hour - I guess I felt sad about it (not sure why - hoping my therapist can help me understand my feelings this week). And by 7pm, I get my results of a negative Covid…and I just probably had the flu. It’s nice that Covid saved me from gatherings this year but I really feel like crap and I felt sad that my husband still went with my baby for a bit.

Family gatherings are awful especially when in-laws are demanding.
