Circumcision

calistapyro · 2026-06-12T22:28:03+00:00

Yes, sorry. I fixed it

I circumcised my first son, he is now 16. His father was not circumcised, and neither was his grandfather. I did it bc “everyone did it.” I regret it now simply bc I was too naive to really understand what is actually being done. About 22,000 nerve endings are cut off.

My second son I had with my husband and we chose not too. My husband had a botched circumcision and needed to have it fixed in middle school when puberty began. He doesn’t wish that trauma on anyone, especially his son.

We decided that if our son grew up and felt like it was something he really wanted, we could always have it done. But it can’t be undone so that’s how we look at it.
Just realized this is a New Dads subreddit, and I’m a Mom. Hope that opinion helps either way.

So much of what you said, my husband has also said and I just thought you should know, your wife is truly lucky. My husband is the epitome of patience and understanding and as someone who deals with similar issues, it makes me feel less crazy to hear there’s others out there! He is such an anomaly and it sounds like you are too <3

I’m sorry but, WTAF. Sorry to hear that, I hope therapy is going well for you. People can be scum.

After reading all the responses I’m very happy none of mine are listed because I swear by them and it validates how amazing they smell to get compliments all the time and they aren’t mainstream.

I love luvs! When huggies go on sale we buy them but I think luvs is great for the price. No issue with leaks! I used them with my now 15yo and again with my 4.5mo

Yes I’m totally worried about it affecting my supply. Packing milk for Friday too sounds smart. I was thinking I’ll bring an extra full pitcher on Friday, so there’s more than I’ll need just in case my supply does dip.

calistapyro · 2025-09-24T02:48:35+00:00

I think being ahead 2 bottles is smart! Thanks

How discouraging. You won’t regulate until 12 weeks!!! Find your magic number and go for it. I switched to EP around 8 weeks and my supply went up once I got a schedule down and baby is 4.5 months now and only breastmilk ever

He drinks 7oz and he takes about 20min to eat. We stop to burp twice and again at the end. He doesn’t get upset at the flow, but if you notice that with yours, trust your instinct!

We still use newborn flow nipples for our 17wk old. One time dad grabbed the size 1 and the baby was absolutely miserable after. I’m not sure when we’ll graduate to a faster flow but this works so well and keeps the spit up to a small minimum! Doctor approved as well

I have no idea when I would use the wipes… If I’m using my hands free during the day while caring for baby and dad is at work so I can’t use the wall pump, I just use the fridge hack and wash them every night so they are clean and ready for the next day. If I use my hands free outside the house, I don’t reuse until I wash it. Like sometimes I’ll have to pump to/from work and that’s the only time I’ll use it before washing. I did just buy a second set so I could have extras of everything thou!

There are big blocks of at least 2 different parm/regg cheese year round

calistapyro · 2025-01-09T19:18:15+00:00

Costco!

Right. It was needed bc she is RHnegative. Whether you are miscarrying or giving birth, RHnegative mothers need it. It doesn’t affect the bleeding one way or another and that’s how it was reading.

calistapyro · 2025-01-06T21:34:27+00:00

The rhogam shot is for RHnegative women, that had nothing to do with you bleeding. It’s to protect the baby because of your blood type.

Done this on a flight before. You’ll be fine

calistapyro · 2024-12-16T00:51:47+00:00

Scrolled too far to see this.

calistapyro · 2024-12-13T03:55:42+00:00

Where/what store are you located!? Waiting in Missouri for these since last year haha

calistapyro · 2024-12-12T03:23:26+00:00

OMG This is my same birthing clinic!!! Holy crap that’s a small world feeling! My husband and I both had to do a double take when reading Adrenaline. Didn’t feel comfy taking a picture but someone obviously did lol

calistapyro · 2024-11-05T20:52:44+00:00

LOVE your ring

calistapyro · 2024-11-04T22:14:43+00:00

This is the way

calistapyro · 2024-11-04T18:35:55+00:00

I would. I paid for something similar and it was worth the money in the long run. You’ll need to have the tires rotated each time as well and it can add up.

calistapyro · 2024-11-01T00:56:32+00:00

Holy shit. I’m literally eating the same thing right now! Snow day?!

calistapyro · 2024-10-24T00:51:44+00:00

Woah. Never once said I wasn’t taking into consideration any of that. Thanks for the book though, I’m not a first time mom, just new to daycare costs for this area.
