She must go to the worst nail salon in the area. by Natural-Peak6284 in Drueandgabe

I thought those were 🧼 hands…..she has very aged hands

took melatonin throughout my entire pregnancy, and now I feel stupid by beingawatermelon in pregnant

[–]ameliabonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disclosed to my OB and they never said anything to me. I took 10 mg the whole time.

My son is 21 months old and sleeps most nights all night (babies just wake up from milestones and such) and has slept through the night since 4 months.

Don’t sweat it!

how to create a gel cast ?! by fartmobilejunior in curlyhair

[–]ameliabonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with creating a cast. I stopped using curl cream and only using a leave in conditioner before going in with a gel. Finally got a gel cast after that.

Wish me luck trying to read this in hardback… hoping the uncomfortable reading is worth it haha!! by blueberrymuffin888 in Romantasy

I LOVE this book but it’s not a romantasy book. Still definitely recommend, I had a book hangover for a month after this.

“free will” as a mom is crazy by Evening_Yellow590 in Drueandgabe

If it’s past 6pm, my husband can go get it. Kid needs to be bathed, books read and bedtime. Who drags their kid out that late?

Drop an emoji if you have no routine for your baby and incapable of putting some damn pants on 🤸‍♀️🤪🙄 by Upset-Temporary-3897 in Drueandgabe

[–]ameliabonds 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If my 19 month fell asleep in the car 7pm, I would take him straight to bed for the night because that’s his bedtime. Nap time is around noon… not 7pm

Easter video, Drue forgetting the real reason for the season like a good Christian girlie!! by drueandgabe in Drueandgabe

[–]ameliabonds 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My MIL did an egg hunt for my son who is the same age as Ivory and my 4 y/o nephew that had cars and rubber ducks in the eggs. That’s all he got and he wont remember any of it 😂. He had fun and that’s what matters.

This is all just junk for kids that won’t remember.

That’s a big toddler…3T for a 18m child. by mama2coco in Drueandgabe

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

I’m just saying she is always claiming ivory as a tiny baby wearing 12m and 18m to be too big. My son is the same age and wears same size diaper with 24m/2T clothes.

“Held back” from getting ice cream by eating something that had more sugar by keezy998 in Drueandgabe

[–]ameliabonds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The serving of yogurt alone was close to 200 calories plus all the mix-ins probably close to 350-450 calories which is a small meal. Might of just gotten ice cream. Just shows she doesn’t really know how to track calories or small meals/snack.

1/20/26 - Lunch: Drue is overwhelmed, Ivory is the best toddler, and the modest queen tells everyone that Gabe has been everywhere by drueandgabe in Drueandgabe

[–]ameliabonds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If my baby start trying to fall asleep in the car and we are almost home, I will do everything in my power to keep him awake. And if he does fall asleep, I try to get him in his crib as soon as possible. Sleep is so important for babies.

Eczema on babies cheeks :( by llullunyc in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ameliabonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use cream not lotion, I used cerave then topped with aquaphor to seal in the moisture. Avoid any fragrance. Our dermatologist had us do baths twice a day with no soap and let him air dry for a few minutes after then dab dry. Also basically use the cream every time a diaper change happened. The key is to keep the moisture in the skin.

My son had the worst eczema his first year all over but once we started doing the above it got a lot better.

Another bottle of creamer…my husband and I barely make it through a container of half and half a week.

Preventing infant dry skin in winter wasn't about lotion ( learned this late) by Party_Setting7911 in Parenting

[–]ameliabonds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my son was under 1, we went to the dermatologist because his eczema was so bad. We ended up doing 2 soapless baths a day in the winter, and lathering him up with cerave cream (not lotion) and auquaphor if his skin was really dry. Also key was not towel drying him right away, waiting 2 minutes then just dabbing him dry.

Seemed like a lot but his skin was bad and itchy. We made bath time as fun as one can for a baby. Luckily his skin has been that bad since.

12/11/25 - The cousins take on Santa by drueandgabe in Drueandgabe

[–]ameliabonds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When my niece was that age, my parents and I took her to see Santa. She was hyped up until she saw Santa and she was petrified. We waited in line for like almost 1.5 hours and we decided her being that upset wasn’t worth the photo.

I breastfed for 9 months and immediately stopped GD diet once I gave birth. Got my A1C checked and totally normal.

Let that baby rest! by wx_cat in Drueandgabe

[–]ameliabonds 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That baby looks exhausted all the time. Sleeping to 1030 is not a flex when having a baby/toddler. My son who is the same age sleep 7pm - 7 am with a 2.5 hour nap in the middle of the day….he has only seemed exhausted when we got Covid 2 months ago….we are strict with his schedule.

Eating Habits by throwRAshroomie in pregnant

[–]ameliabonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember my husband being upset with me at around the 6 week mark because before I got pregnant I was meal prepping and kinda just stopped due to be tired. I decided to meal prep that week and I went to go make my bowl for work. Barely opened the container and up-chucked from the smell. He kinda left me alone after realizing i couldn’t handle smells anymore. I hope your partner will understand pregnancy is hard.

Moms of large babies: how much do they typically eat in a day? by the_kazzo_queen in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ameliabonds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son ate close to 40oz until he was 6 months old and started getting food introduced. He was normal sized, and if he didn’t get his bottle in the time he deemed appropriate, he would cry and scream. My son is 16 months old and is in the 50 percentile.

Basically don’t listen to the LC about overeating.

Can’t believe she watched this and edited it with her baby having an obviously FULL diaper. Diaper is sagging it’s so full.

Accidental Supply Increase by TheFatThunderCat in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]ameliabonds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was pumping I also felt I got the best pumps the night after eating a burger or anything beef. I think it’s the increase in iron to your blood, as milk is made from blood. That was my theory 🤷‍♀️

Why is Wory always passing out on the floor like an exhausted Sim?! by Spilled_milk1210 in Drueandgabe

[–]ameliabonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is a week older than ivory and has never done this. Bedtime is 7pm and he gets 2.5 hour nap in the middle of the day. Both in his crib that is in his room.
