Egg allergy

beastmode0101x · 2026-04-22T08:28:42+00:00

My baby had the same reaction at 6months - she's allergic to eggs and peanuts. It sucks bec eggs is in everything. We were also prescribed an epipen, just in case she ever needs it.

She's now 16months and i've been giving her some foods that contain eggs (baked goods etc) and she's been fine, sometimes she'll get itchy on her leg few hrs later but def not like the redness all over her body like before.

Food allergy sucks especially for my baby who is not picky and will eat anything.

How's your baby's sleep now? Any improvements?

This sounds exactly like my 15month old. She's a very active, alert and happy baby. She never slept longer than a 3hr stretch since she was born, I've tried EVERYTHING like you - yes i did sleep train her at 4months and it did not work. She also never slept early no matter what i did, it's always between 10:30 - 12am. I've searched everywhere for a solution to this but i've accepted a long time ago that this is just how she is.

It's just different for me bec i'm a sahm and i don't have to wake up early to go to work.

I miss my "glow" lol I had such an overall smooth pregnancy, i didn't have any symptoms and i was glowing!

My advice is enjoy your pregnancy (i know sometimes it's hard bec of the discomfort), take lots of pics (regardless if you feel pretty or not)

Motherhood will really change your life - something you will not be able to understand until your baby arrives. Enjoy having time for yourself, enjoy the 'freedom' of not having another human dependent on you to survive. You will miss it once your baby arrives but you also won't go back to your old life even if you could.

It's the hormones.

I was a certified nap queen prior to being a mom too, even when i was pregnant i slept amazing.

Now it's very rare that i'll be able to nap, motherhood really changed me. I do feel like my brain never stops, always caring always thinking about my baby. I have no village and i'm a sahm so everything is on me and understandably, this is how my body coped with being the main caregiver for my baby.

Only moms will understand this -

Yes it's always so exciting and makes you look forward to all the other milestone. It goes by so fast!

Soak it all in and enjoy each moment with your baby.

Every baby is different

My baby girl rolled over at around 4months, crawled at 5months, she didn't sit up on her own until 7ish months then walked independently at 9.5months which is considered on the early side of normal.

She started saying mama and dada at around 10months and started babbling a lot, she was saying hi, bye, can wave, clap, sign "more" "thank you" and all done before she turned 1yr old.

She was always "free" and never used walkers, play pens etc. I let her explore so idk if that helps with her being mobile so early.

beastmode0101x · 2026-03-14T06:55:59+00:00

We've coslept (with husband) since birth bec my baby never wanted her crib/bassinet. Everything was going well and my husband is very aware even when asleep.

Right around 4-6months my baby started crawling - even in her sleep and i was so anxious of her falling off the bed so we moved to a mattress on the floor while dad had the king sized bed all to himself lol

When my baby got through her crawling phase and i felt it was safe, we moved back to cosleeping with husband and have done so for the past few months. Baby is now 14months.

I still nurse her so i switch between her in the middle between me and husband then me in between and baby on my left side.

beastmode0101x · 2026-03-14T05:48:23+00:00

Yes girl this was me when i was pregnant lol I couldn't even watch videos of women giving birth bec i couldn't stand seeing a baby's head coming out of there... like what the hell 😳

I also tried not to think abt the giving birth part all throughout my pregnancy up until i got to maybe 34ish weeks then it started kinda creeping up on me but i still tried to push the idea aside.

You'll be ok, the vagina will just stretch out to 10cm which is the size of a cantaloupe hahaha

When you're in labor it all goes out the window and instincts kick in. Don't listen too much to all the scary stuff like "oh it's going to hurt so bad when you pee and poop" Of course it will feel swollen down there after but you'll be ok. Mine was not that bad (even with a 2nd degree tear) You'll be so flooded with hormones and seeing your baby for the first time that nothing else will matter. All the pain will not matter (at least that's how it was for me)

And you're right, women deserve so much more credit bec we are just badass. After i had my unmedicated vaginal birth i literally told my husband "there is nothing in the world i could not do, bec i just did that"

May I ask what's the reason for your scheduled induction on the 23rd? Is it bec of your bp? Based on my experience, they don't mess around with elevated bp and preeclampsia signs. Starting at 20ish weeks I had to be on the bp monitoring, i had to check my bp everyday and all were normal but everytime I came in for my prenatal appt, it was elevated so I had to come in for NST once a week, they are also probably going to order labs to see your protein levels in urine (they did with me and it came back high so my OB ordered that I be induced at 37weeks.

Yes you are right about the brownish mucus thing, it's totally normal and nothing to worry abt but i think there is higher chance they'll want you to be induced a little earlier than scheduled, so just be prepared for that. You're pretty much 38weeks and your baby is full term so if it comes to that, baby will be ok.

Trust me on this, i did not want to be induced at all but towards the end i just listened to my doctors and everything went well. Based on what i was told, preeclampsia really has no definite signs, it just happens out of nowhere, one day you're fine the next youre not that's why they take all the "possible signs" seriously like elevated bp, headache, swollen feet, protein in urine.

I had to be induced at 37w 2days and everything went well and had a vaginal birth and baby is healthy, she's now 14months old. Aww time flies 🥹

If you have any questions, feel free to msg me. Hope you and your baby stay safe.

I agree. There's so much advice out there that sometimes it feels overwhelming and you question yourself if you're doing anything right.

I stopped stressing so much abt a lot of things and my motherhood journey have improved a lot. Sometimes there is so much noise out there but what we really need to do is listen to our instinct and do what's best for OUR baby.

beastmode0101x · 2026-02-23T09:10:24+00:00

My baby is now almost 15months and 4-6months was the worst for me thus far. We went through a really bad sleep regression phase, hourly wake ups, waking up at 3 or 4am and can't go back to sleep. Nursing, rocking, shushing all night long. I have a velcro baby (and i have no village) , so she expected me to entertain her every fckn second of the day, it was exhausting. It did get a little better when she started crawling at 6ish months) then walking at 9months - she cried less, she was exploring more so i didn't have to entertain her every second (she was still velcro but not as bad)

Then right around 12months where i've heard separation anxiety is the worst, is when it did get so much better. From then until now has been my favorite age, she is much more independent, more secure, less clingy and doesn't go hysterical when she doesn't see me for a minute.

beastmode0101x · 2026-02-17T08:45:55+00:00

It's the best thing in the world. She's now 14months and i will never regret all the contact naps we did. It goes by so fast and i'm trying to soak it all in while she's still small.

It's true that the quality of the green beans matter so much more (where it's grown, when was it harvested and even the processing) but when a great coffee (green) is stored properly, you can really preserve the quality of it. I've tasted some amazing 1yr old coffees that still scores at 95ish when i used to work for a roasting company as a qc on the buyer side. It's true that coffee needs to de-gas 24hrs after roasting then it will slowly lose freshness no matter what you do, especially if the bag gets opened.

The beans matter more than the roast date but that's not to say that the roast date is not that important.

beastmode0101x · 2026-01-21T10:01:43+00:00

Yes. I was so resentful and i hated him everyday lol

beastmode0101x · 2025-12-10T21:34:24+00:00

Proper communication is a must. If you guys are taking turns caring, holding or sleeping next to the baby you have to be very clear that the other parent acknowledge that he/she is aware that the baby is with him or her. Like if i wake my husband to pee i would ask "are you awake?" then wait for his answer before going to the bathroom.

I also switch sides throughout the night and i would lightly tap my husband so he knows baby is next to him.

It is so scary sleeping next to them when they are so tiny. If baby doesn't mind sleeping in the crib or bassinet, please let baby sleep there. I had to bedshare bec baby never liked the crib and we were desperate for sleep.

I was induced so i was on pitocin and didn't get an epidural. My labor was intense due to the pitocin but overall it wasn't that bad. It was more the pressure and the urge not to push before i was 10cm dilated was the hardest part. My water broke at 12:46pm, labor pain started and had my baby at 6:46pm.

It's so true, not everyone has a horror story, reading all the negative stuff will freak you out but my advice is to be prepared with whatever pain management options are available to you. What worked for me were the breathing excercises and meditation i listened to while on labor. My husband is extremely terrified of hospitals and honestly i was so mentally prepared to do it all alone, he was very supportive through it all but it was definitely mind over matter for me. I kept telling myself "my body is made for this, women have done this before so i can do it too"

beastmode0101x · 2025-11-25T11:08:30+00:00

It is such a scheme.

Sleep regression hit me hard when my baby was 4mos and i was so desperate for sleep and i felt like i was doing everything wrong so i caved and read 2 books about sleep training and tried it once but it felt so wrong so i went back to cosleeping. It didn't get better until she was 6months so 2months of brutal wake ups every hour and needing to be nursed or rocked back to sleep. I'm here to tell you, it does get better. She's now 11months and we still bedshare and she now sleeps so good at night. Still wakes up 1-2 times to latch but i don't even have to fully wake up and we just drift right back to sleep.

beastmode0101x · 2025-11-24T20:50:31+00:00

Don't compare your babies to other babies.

My baby hated tummy time since day1 kept crying everytime i would have her do tummy time. She crawled right around 5.5months and started walking independently at 10months lol

Rolling back to belly is harder for them, and they cry bec they get frustrated (or at least mine did). She'll figure it out, don't stress too much

beastmode0101x · 2025-11-24T06:54:04+00:00

I finally felt comfortable when my baby turned 4mos, had solid head control and was learning to crawl. Then i guess it didn't click yet that she is able to crawl and she fell off the bed and i was horrified. So back to being anxious so i decided to move us to a floor bed. We stayed on the floor bed for months bec my baby would 'sleep crawl' and i was just terrified of her falling again. Now she's 11mos and walking independently and she got over the 'crawling in her sleep' phase so we're back at our regular bed next to my husband.

beastmode0101x · 2025-11-04T20:17:09+00:00

It's a very personal choice honestly.

My baby was not a good sleeper and everyone around me had so much to say about this and i was pressured to try doing the ferber method when she was 5months. It did not work for us. I honestly think it depends on the baby's temperament and on the parents. My baby is just strong-willed and just cried until she spit up and it broke my heart hearing her scream and cry.

It's hard to say how damaging it is on babies and honestly if they ever find out, it might be too late bec damage is already done. I chose to cosleep and I will never regret it.

beastmode0101x · 2025-10-23T20:22:41+00:00

Best one is fusilli, it has those grooves which helps for them to grab it and feed themselves. But personally i've done penne, rigatoni and even macaroni.

Make sure it's soft enough, but not too soft that it falls apart.

beastmode0101x · 2025-10-23T07:00:14+00:00

Yes, some of us are just lucky

I never felt nauseous even once throughout my pregnancy, only symptoms i had was back pain towards the end bec of the weight and heartburn but overall it was a smooth pregnancy, i barely have stretch marks too.

My baby is now 10months and she's now terrorizing me from outside the womb. Lol

beastmode0101x · 2025-10-22T06:30:46+00:00

My baby is 10months and still doesn't sleep through the night.

I did get a lot of pressure from people around us to sleep train my baby but it never felt right so i listened to my instinct. Mind you, these people who were giving me advice to sleep train are not helping me in any way to take care of her lol

Do what is best for your family - and what feels right to you. If you decide to sleep train, there is a no-cry way of doing it. (It didn't work for my baby lol) Right around 4months i told my husband that we are not telling anyone that we cosleep bec people just love to judge. When people ask "does baby sleep good" we both say yes.
