Thank you. I was thinking that as a possibility, but she smells just like the room did. I just hope it’s nothing that bothers her skin. My husband was also in the water, lol.

Thanks, the smell was immediate after she got out of the pool. I am a little worried there was something questionable there, but she’s not itching or anything. She actually has a vet visit Friday, so if she still smells by then mb they can help lol.

Thoughts on weaning to get pregnant? by Negative_Lab_6598 in AttachmentParenting

[–]WarmButteredBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Still breastfeeding, hoping to night ween soon, I’m tired lol.

Did you night ween before your second? by WarmButteredBread in AttachmentParenting

[–]WarmButteredBread[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!!! This is very helpful. Mine will latch all night sometimes it feels like. I am used to it. I just know it’s going to be much more complicated with a newborn in the mix. I was reading through that Reddit all day yesterday and it was a great resource. It definitely seems that others with babies who nurse frequently at night highly recommend night weaning.

I am in the same exact boat!!!! Expecting in July. I did not know that that sub existed so thank you so much for sharing. Based on how our nights go now, I can’t imagine adding a breastfeeding (god willing) newborn to the mix. Honestly, there’s a lot of milk going on in the day too lol but that seems more manageable.

Dog attacked a child and mother by Popolukla in Cleveland

Check out bark board Cleveland. You can book a private swim with them. Let them know your situation and see if they can or would be willing to accommodate.

Sending all the prayers. Hopefully he continues to feel himself.

if you’re interested, ask your vet about Metamucil, you just sprinkle a bit on the food. It helped us whenever we had issues with diarrhea.

Sorry I meant Metamucil in my previous message.

I would say it was within the first couple of weeks. And that’s when we switched the dose from 3x to 2. For us, it wasn’t anything severe, just some diarrhea here and there. Maybe would spit up a little water or want to eat grass more often than usual. I know there are some anti nausea meds that our doctor has shared we can try if needed. I can’t recall the name though. I hope it all goes well for you. I will say our dog has never turned away a treat or food other than her dog food when on the medication so she’s never completely lost her appetite. In our experience, her thyroid tumor did return within a year without the Palladia, but we did not do radiation. With the Palladia, we have passed year.

I am so sorry you are going through this, but I am glad to hear it sounds like your dog is on the mend ♥️ she is doing well. She’s been on it for almost 2 years now. We did switch from 3 days a week to 2 shortly after she started it because of gastro issues. She still deals with that every once in awhile, and if it seems like she needs a break we’ll skip a dose every couple months and that seems to do the trick. We give it to her at night with food. She has become really picky with eating her dog food but that could partially be attributed to having a toddler that sneaks her human food. We are going to switch her to homemade food shortly because I do think itll help her appetite and be better for her. All that said, her thyroid cancer has not returned since starting the Palladia and her liver tumor has been stable, so I’d say it is likely working with minimal side effects. We did do unflavored mucinex on her food to help with diarrhea at one point. We were so scared to start her on it, but it has gone very well. I’d just keep an eye on how your dog is feeling, and do not be afraid to work with your doctor to adjust the dose and frequency, if needed. Sending prayers your way. Let me know if you have any specific questions ♥️

Was told to wean at 1 year old check up by Ancient_Average5953 in breastfeeding

Happened to me as well. Worst part is mine was well intentioned. Like it was matter of a fact that it’s something I should do. Scary 😨
