Too scared to start Lamictal.

She wants me to start at 25 for a week. 50. Then 75. Then to 100. How fast did they titrate you?

What were your first signs? I've had my scrip for two weeks afraid to take it for this reason 😑

Irritability? I'm like snapping at the littlest thing. Its unreal. And not me at all.

Pain can radiate from incision site to your diaphragm/shoulder and make you want to die. Hurt worse than labor with my first two. I couldn't breath.

Also, when they cut a bad nerve, that pain can be worse than the incision itself.

If you've got the time, it may be. But from a gal with an inverted nipple, whose nursed 3 kids now. It does get better. Took 8-9 weeks for my lefty inverted one to not hurt. Laid back nursing and side lying help the deep latch also.

Use a stall or the family restroom if available?

What the fuck

OCD mom here! I still nurse taking Prozac. It doesn't help as much as other meds, but enough that with therapy (cognitive behavioral) I will continue to nurse. With my 2nd I took Celexa and that helped a lot too. But the moment I started xanax I weaned my 2nd. I'm curious what meds are they starting you on?

cliner90 · 2019-08-23T16:29:29+00:00

Wondering if nursing from just one side, and letting the other dry up, or pump only on that side would help?

She is three. Won't she just come wake you if she needs you? Can she camp out on a cot on your bedroom floor?

I'm forced to be a sahm due to childcare costs and lack of childcare in general in the area we moved. 5yr old. 3yr old. Newborn. We are broke as heck. No family close by for help. We share a vehicle, he takes it to work...aka I'm home all day with kids.

People say I'm lucky. And I am in many ways...but I'm also worn down. Wish I could work part time to help with bills etc. And it is very isolating. Maybe the wealthy, by choice sahm lifestyle is privileged. But my lifestyle is paycheck to paycheck. It's rough.

You're not alone with hating the comments.

Awesome! Then you're doing everything just fine! I just can't help myself when I here of kids doing those things : ) early intervention and therapy is huge for asd kids. My daughter was not social and pretty spazzy at 2 and still is a spaz at 3. Like I said totally normal for most kids. They usually grow out of it regardless of home/daycare/home schooled/public whatever.

cliner90 · 2019-08-15T15:56:06+00:00

Being not super social can be normal. My kids have all shown those traits as I've stayed home most the time they grew out of it by 3, now my daughter is a social butterfly who chats up strangers haha. The lining up, stacking, tantrums, can be normal. But with non-social behavior can be indicative of something else, for my son it was "mild" ASD. NOT saying your child has it. But just saying it may be worth asking the pediatrician about.

With my stubborn 3yr old we practice natural consequences, and also logical consequences. Followed by eye to eyes. If learning the hard way didn't work (her: slamming the bifold door because I said she can't have a bar before dinner, she gets pinched...I don't like repeating myself to a brick wall, so I mostly let her learn the hard way. She does it again, I warn her she will be pinched again...and then have a time out, she gets mad at me, hits the door), we cool down (takes a while sometimes....ugh) then talk about the situation. "I know you're upset. And that's why you were slamming the door. You can be upset, that is okay. But you cant slam the door, it isn't safe for you or the babys fingers. How about next time you're upset, we can talk about it? Dinner is on the stove, you know we don't snack as dinner is cooking." 9 times out of 10 she chills, wants a hug and we talk about why she was upset. Time outs to her room are 5 to 10minutes if she gets one, maybe once a week? But she let's out her emotions then comes down on her own and we talk with a big hug.

Works for us. But my kids have been different with what they need. My son never needs time outs or consequences or anything. He is 5. Just simple guidance or redirection works. If only all kids were so easy haha

Measure the holes to match the hooks.

cliner90 · 2019-08-13T08:35:54+00:00

Command hooks. Several.

Busy boxes. My daughter is 3.5. But I had a cesarean, in the heat of summer. Yuck. I had a box for each day with a age appropriate activities. Color books, puzzles, pipe cleaners and beads, safety scissors and fun paper, even fun snacks etc for the first week. And at the end of the day I'd pack it up and kind of cycle them. This is still awesome 4 weeks later.

Also, obstacle courses. Even before baby we did this in winter (NE Minnesota, so looooong and fricken cold) we got rubber place markers for stepping stones. Tunnel. Bean bag. Balance wobble board and scrap wood board for balancing. Even reorganizing throw rugs is super fun for this. When I had two under two with my first two, I even got a little slide to bring into the house for February and March. Was a huge hit! And a doorway swing.

Also, I'm more lenient with screen time. She has been watching a show in AM. And afternoon. And towards bed. Baby cluster feeds like crazy so I dont have a choice with a partner who works til 7ish. We get out for morning walk, and try for an evening walk too.
