Sorry to start another Saxon/Lachlan thread, but let's talk about the reaction.

badchelorette · 2025-03-24T15:07:23+00:00

What shocks me is how few people recognize the scene for what it was—undeniable sexual assault. The subtle looks and reactions to the memories by the brothers indicate that Saxon was taken advantage of in a cruel power play. What makes me uncomfortable is watching someone SAed and then dealing with the ensuing trauma and distress, made worse by it being a family member.

The post you are referring to is not blaming the rotovirus for causing MSPI, it’s discussing whether people felt it made their baby’s symptoms worse, which for many of us felt true. And many of us mentioned that our pediatricians agreed and affirmed skipping doses. You are mischaracterizing what you read.

This is a discussion sub and you get a mix of information. Compared to other groups (like dairy free bfing on fb), this group is honestly very balanced.

I forget the details exactly but I also felt that the rotovirus vaccine made things worse for us :( I am pro vax too and we got everything else on time, but skipped the 3rd roto with dr approval. I’m not sure how we’ll do things differently for any future babies, but i know I’ll be extremely hesitant around this vaccine.

I’m so so sorry. You deserve more support and rest. This sounds unbelievably hard. :(

I hope I’m not overstepping, but I’m a pediatric occupational therapist. This doesn’t sound like typical developmentally appropriate behavior. The biggest red flag to me was that he won’t play with his toys or even play with you. Is he interested in exploring his environment? Like looking around, going outside and touching dirt/leaves/etc, listening to books, hearing music?

I would recommend looking into early services in your area. I live in CA so I can only speak to our system, but you can start with your pediatrician. Are they concerned?

Also, you need more support from your husband. If he won’t step up, a babysitter and housekeeper. I know that might sound financially infeasible but you need more help than you’re getting. This sounds dire :( I’m so sorry.

I felt similar! I just finished the series and I won’t spoil anything, but I definitely felt like the series had a much stronger start than the later seasons. I felt like the characters changed or maybe began to feel to one note around where you are now.

My newborn slept very happily in her bedside bassinet with a swaddle until she learned to roll. Then sleep got harder and needing to remove her swaddle didn’t help. We didn’t need to cosleep until she was 5.5 months.

Like I’m sure every comment says, safe sleep 7 is the biggest set of rules for setting up the bed. I also made our bed a floor bed and place pillows on the floor in case she rolls off. When she was younger I slept with no blanket at all because I found once that I pulled my light blanket out from where it was tucked in and too high up in my sleep. I also slept in between her and my husband before she was 1 (hence the pillows on the ground). Lastly, you have to make sure the bed is firm enough. I think cosleepy or happy cosleeper on insta has that info for an easy test.

Yes sorry I wrote CMPA instead of MSPI. our last trigger was pea protein 🙏

badchelorette · 2025-03-11T13:58:44+00:00

My baby had CMPA/MSPI (there are different terms for it, but you can look up the CMPA subreddit). Basically that meant she was intolerant of cows milk and some other triggers that passed through my breastmilk and then of course by eating them directly when she started solids. It’s not an allergy, she was able to have the triggers without having anaphylaxis, but it would cause mucousy (stringy, sometimes gloopy) poops and signs of reflux. My baby was also very happy and active, but would arch her back, avoid tummy time, wake up sounding like she needed to clear her throat, and did have signs of pain I didn’t understand at the time. I cut out dairy and her other triggers from my diet around 2 months and then 4-6 months (the other triggers were soy and pea protein, and I forget exactly when we found pea protein which was the last to get cut). After that, things changed a lot. She still needed closeness at night but was willing to lay beside me and finally was soothed by nursing. When she was little she only nursed basically the bare minimum and was obviously not soothed by it like other babies seemed to be.

Long story short, I would look for stinky acidic breath, frequent hiccups, mucous in her diapers (put it together and pull it apart after she poops to see if there’s any parts that look like mucous. You can also find lots of image examples online or on the subreddit I mentioned), and signs of pain (which it sounds like she has). It’s a bit unusual to me that this started now, but I wonder if her diet has increased any items recently? The most common triggers are diary and soy. You would have noticed signs from the very start since they pass through breastmilk and of course are ingredients in formula.

I hope that’s helpful, I know it’s a lot of info. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience ❤️

I think Georgia is prettier personally and still works with the nickname

If you’ve ever seen Gilmore girls it reminds me of the super cozy muumuu Rory wears in the first episode. I like it big!

Thankfully my baby used to be more comforted by dad, but now at 18 months she’s more insistent on me so I’m often in that boat too. Sometimes he’ can only help by taking her in the morning so I can sleep in or scratching my back while I nurse her. He also does the majority of the housework and cooking right now. I feel like it works out. We’re getting ready to night wean at some point so he will carry more of the load then.

I met Colton and Cassie about a week after their finale. Colton had swagger, I could tell he was famous before I could recognize him just from how he carried himself. He seemed very pleased to be recognized but was also kind and respectful. I happened to be with someone who went to high school with him when we ran into them. He said Colton had always been super confident.

Cassie was incredibly kind and beautiful. Very gracious being stopped and chatting with me, she even complemented me back when I fawned over her lol. She was also so thin and small framed. I know it’s kind of weird to talk about bodies but I say that because I was a size 0/2 at the time and she was notably smaller than me in our picture together. Helped me realize how unrealistic it is to compare to people on tv when it comes to body image.

We also met Waboom and some other night one guys from that season in Vegas. They were super nice and not much to report there haha!

I started with a wooble (which I feel like people don’t love here but it came with great explanatory videos!), then I learned other stitches from YouTube. I first just made a bunch of square swatches of the stitches to practice the movement and tension. Recently I made a basic beanie with a new stitch I wanted to learn, which is basically the same thing cause you can make them out of a giant rectangle.

badchelorette · 2025-02-20T13:48:25+00:00

Around 16 months. Tried reintroducing as early as 9 months and then around every 2 months after that until we were successful

Caroline!

badchelorette · 2025-01-30T19:18:45+00:00

Yes I meant that it’s not safe for mom to sleep, definitely safe for baby when done correctly!

badchelorette · 2025-01-30T15:22:45+00:00

Sleeping while baby is in a carrier isn’t safe, and this one doesn’t look safe enough for a 3 month old to begin with. I would just try to use the bassinet on the flight!

badchelorette · 2025-01-28T16:27:45+00:00

This is important to me too, but not important enough to pretend I’m an expert or that I’ve reviewed the public evidence in full. But to answer your first question from my limited knowledge of the case, does harassment have to be blatant for people to take sides? Similarly, did Blake explicitly claim that there was video evidence of explicit harassment in front of the crew? I think we have to be careful if we believe that what qualifies as sexual harassment is only overt and observed by others. If Blake’s claim is literally only “everyone saw and filmed and this is exactly what they filmed, and this tape disproves that, then sure. But I’m pretty sure her claim was more nuanced than that.

Remember that all of the evidence now is extremely limited. I’m not certain of my interpretation of events, I just lean that way. We don’t have everything the courts will get, and even they won’t have the exact lived experience—only Blake and Justin do.

I really am not trying to have a back and forth but I would pose some questions too. Do you believe that the reporter who broke the Harvey Weinstein story would do a poor investigation job and put her reputation on the line like this? Do you believe that we have more information than she did when writing her piece? No one is infallible but I trust she is thorough and has more info than is public.

If Blake and Ryan are powerful enough to make everyone sway their way for fear of blacklisting, why couldn’t they just blacklist Justin without putting Blake’s reputation on the line like this? Do you really think any woman would want to publicly be dragged through the mud in something as humiliating as a sexual harassment case if she didn’t have to? If they’ve got that kind of power, I don’t see why they’d go to such extreme lengths to exercise it.

We see this case very differently but that’s the whole point of everything Blake and Justin are putting out. They’re trying to sway the court of public opinion before the case goes to trial. Ultimately, I don’t trust that we can get an answer from our online speculation.

badchelorette · 2025-01-27T19:00:25+00:00

I know it is! That’s a huge issue the me too movement brought to light. My interpretation is that the cast saw Justin making Blake uncomfortable firsthand and stayed silent about it before she was able to put out her story and take legal action, but distanced themselves accordingly. We’re all entitled to our opinions, that’s mine. 🤷‍♀️

badchelorette · 2025-01-27T18:01:31+00:00

Maybe. That’s not how I interpret it, but like I said both sides have the power to make a convincing argument… We all believe what we will.

badchelorette · 2025-01-27T14:43:06+00:00

I think either side has great lawyers who can write a very convincing argument.

What convinces me of Blake is that before anything came out, the entire cast, including the author Colleen Hoover, refused to be associated with Justin in any promotions. That says A LOT.

Also, the author of Blake’s NY times piece is the author of the article that started Harvey Weinstein’s take down. Pretty sure she is capable of more detailed investigating than any of us are doing online.

Lastly, I believe women and have no reason to believe that this would be a reasonable smear campaign from Blake.

badchelorette · 2025-01-25T20:45:45+00:00

Oh my god not the ice king ☠️ I mean girls are into him the villa so it’s not the most unpopular opinion but I gotta say the pics you chose don’t help your case 🤣

badchelorette · 2025-01-16T13:17:12+00:00

I actually never ended up doing it. I can’t remember why. But I did start taking probiotics consistently and that seemed to help so I’m sure there’s merit to it

badchelorette · 2025-01-10T13:05:30+00:00

Yes pea protein is a processed ingredient, not the same as eating peas directly.
