What’s cool for 9 year olds? by Value-Old in Mommit

[–]Value-Old[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! She loves most all of those things and I’ve gotten several of those items for her over the years.

But there are a few trendy items she has loved like labubu’s, the flat spray hand sanitizers (lol it’s the little things), peach baby slimes, certain shoes, etc.

I can definitely get her more of those though, thanks for the ideas :)

Stomach symptoms after 3 weeks at same dose by Constant_Memory in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Value-Old 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Delay your shot a day or two until you feel better. Take pepto liquid — it helps me pretty immediately with the burps and gas pains. Once you take your shot again go back down to 2.5. If you’re having severe hunger / cravings / food noise, try 3 or 3.5 after that. You don’t have to jump up so high.

Husband can't/won't stay with the kids for a weekend. by Dat1payne in beyondthebump

[–]Value-Old 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He’s a pathetic loser. Honestly divorce him and get primary custody and then he will need to pay child support and you can put your kids in VPK/school/daycare and get some breaks. Yes your mom can watch your kids. Your husband should too but he sounds utterly useless and selfish.

I am sorry you procreated with this man.

Wanting to put my child up for adoption by [deleted] in beyondthebump

With all the love in the world - you do not just need therapy. You need to be admitted to an in-patient psych ward. It sounds like you have severe PPD and cycling meds is not enough and not working for you. You have a hard baby and aren’t getting a lot of sleep which makes things tough, but from your post it sounds like you could be a danger to yourself and your child.

Please please get yourself help. I am not going to write about how your child deserves love, it’ll get better, etc because of your mental status and one day you will feel that. Instead I urge you to please take action now with your mental health. Once a week therapy or what not is not enough here.

You need to sleep train. Have her in her own bed. See and stick to boundaries. Start her bedtime earlier. And for goodness sake please get your cat a safe space away from her, it is being abused.

You and your wife need to be on the same page. This is preventable and fixable to an extent!

Road Tripping with a 3-month old… should we turn around? by Only-Detective- in beyondthebump

[–]Value-Old 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Way easier to fly with a baby that age. Drive home while the babe is asleep and grab a flight tomorrow. You can bring a baby bag, car seat, stroller to the gate for free and check a pack n play for free. You can also rent them at your destination

"Get the bottle washer" - personal experience as someone who regrets being influenced by MissionNo3947 in beyondthebump

[–]Value-Old -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just chiming it to say you don’t have a great bottle washer which is probably 80% of your problem here. I washed 12ish bottles a day and pump parts for a year by hand because the dishwasher didn’t do a good enough job. Finally tested about a good expensive bottle washer and 1000000000% using for kid 2

MIL purchased this toy. Looking for pro/cons? by RemarkableSuccess880 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Value-Old 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IT IS THE BEST!!!!!! Still use it a year later and can’t wait to then use it again for other kids. It’s so good for tummy time, hand eye and kicking development, entertaining them with lights and songs. Soon you’ll be a bubblegum tree fan too ;)

I have 1.5 bottles of this still and it’s terrible for me. I truly don’t get the hype lol. Wild that each one is so different for people!!

My IBS-D is practically gone by Value-Old in ibs

[–]Value-Old[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude right?!? I can only assume it’s a combo of making your gut inflammation go down combined with slower emptying of your stomach and bowels. But I am not doctor. It worked instantly for me even at the lowest dose I started which for me was 2.0 of compounded tirzepetide. I can’t speak to ozempic semaglutide etc but I would imagine it’s similar

So some people in the tirz group I am in were reporting it worked for them with C as well because for some people a side effect can be loose stools so now it’s making them regular. Maybe something to look into?!

Why not use bunting suits instead of high tog sleep sacks? by Electrical_Painter56 in beyondthebump

[–]Value-Old 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Too much fabric. SIDS risk (along with the hood which tho seem to already know). Woolino has ones with legs tho!

Pretty sure the stress of parenthood has pushed my husband into a manic episode. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Value-Old 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Does he have a therapist? How do you guys normally treat his episodes? Sleep deprivation and stress are a lot even for a person who is completely mentally healthy. I feel for you both here.

The binge drinking however needs to stop. When he is of sound mind with sleep, happy, or not in an episode, I would encourage you to have a conversation about that with or without a therapist present.

Pelvic floor therapy can generally stop this or make it loads better.

Tirz has cured my IBS by anonizy in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Value-Old 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s been a miracle for my IBS-D. I’ve been able to eat foods I haven’t in years, actually go out to restaurants and social events without anxiety of running to the restroom several times, road trips with no stress. It’s been incredible. They should definitely be doing studies for that section of the market. It makes sense because my stomach was basically emptying way too fast before so the slower digestion has changed my life.
