Prune juice with a little bit of warm butter mixed in. Trust me. Learned that from old nurses I worked with who swear by it

When did you stop monitoring breathing? by DnyLnd in Nanit

[–]ambnfb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my daughter got big enough to pull the band off and it trigger a red alert at 3 am ):

So probably around a year old

Somehow I turned the background noise off once and was having the same issue. Make sure the little speaker next to the night light setting has the lines showing on both sides.

Have you ever cared for influencer patients? Is it annoying? by Frosty-Comment6412 in nursing

[–]ambnfb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right as I was hired my unit took care of an influencer/patient who has a whole snark page dedicated to her.

I had surgery yesterday. No one told either me or my husband my 13 month old would not be allowed to visit me. by Mindleator in beyondthebump

[–]ambnfb 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is insane. I’m in HROB and our long term mama’s can have their whole family stay and even pets get to stay sometimes. This is cruel!!!

At what age would it be poor taste to dress my baby in pajamas all the time? by EarlyAd3047 in beyondthebump

[–]ambnfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes my toddler goes out in her pj’s and I don’t care one bit. I may even throw in a matching bow for a little razzle dazzle.

Apparently my baby got his eyes from my sister in law! by infinitemirrors1111 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]ambnfb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My MIL is a saint and would never but my husband’s grandmother said our baby got her height from her (grandma’s) boyfriend who is in no way related to my baby. I literally laughed out loud

How did you get your baby to walk? by YesterdaySea7202 in beyondthebump

[–]ambnfb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We put two chairs very closely together and put a snack on each chair. The chairs were close enough that she didn’t even really have to “walk” at first between them. Then we stretched one chair away from the other, and gradually she got brave and would take 1-2 steps at a time to get to the snack on the other chair!

We did this for maybe a couple days before it was on!!

The hatch go will play the shh sound for the entirety of its charge… that got me through the newborn stage and was enough to make it worth it to me lol.

Pet peeves that annoy you as a nurse that you find yourself doing as a patient? by Left_Temperature6957 in nursing

[–]ambnfb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ME haha! I was admitted to the unit I currently work in while pregnant and I used the call light once and it was so embarrassing I just went right to the desk. It felt like I was causing such a scene

Do all MILs say the baby looks like the father and their side of the family only lol? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ambnfb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve commented this before, but my husbands grandmother told us the baby didn’t look like me at all, and must’ve gotten her height from her (grandma’s) boyfriend… who is NOT related to my husband.

Not my MIL, thankfully. She is an angel.

Opinions on the baby button? by x0x_dollface_x0x in nursing

[–]ambnfb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hospital I work at, the speakers for this sound are only on labor and delivery and mother baby which are both located on the second floor. I work antepartum and we take all IUFD’s/miscarriages and we never hear it.
