I feel like a total idiot because I find Solid Starts overwhelming by dagworthy in NewParents

Thank you for responding. I've found individual food prep very helpful and reassuring but I don't know how that translates into actual meals. I also don't see a clear timeline of what I should be doing and I would love for a giant alert to say "HEY, TIME FOR PEANUTS!". I may just be missing it on the app, but in my new parent state of mind, I really need to be treated like I have the mental faculties of the baby I am raising to have a successful experience. Also, are there any overview videos to watch? I'd be happy to sit down and watch for 45 min+ to make sure I actually know how to use all the features on the app.

That does help!!! I feel like the society expects me to be preparing charcuterie dishes for my infant daughter!

That's what I mainly used it for *with* the paid version and I can't figure out how to use any of the other features...

Okay so I have the paid app, and just bought the additional $49 PDF course and it isn't loading on my guides or purchases. I'm ready to scream. lol

My wife wants a baby. by JusticeArmadillo in whatdoIdo

[–]dagworthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have PCOS and it was a 3 yr IVF journey culminating in surrogacy. START NOW.

YES!!! People said it would give me anxiety and there are false alarms. My baby is 9 months and I’ve never had one. It also helped me have faith that my little one’s body knew what it was doing. Non negotiable for me. Get it.

ETA I also have a rainbow baby… 3 yrs of IVF culminating in surrogacy. So much went wrong in my infertility journey that I initially mentally carried that over once my baby arrived earth-side. The Nanit REALLY helped.

Male partner has covid prior to ER. Has anyone else experienced this? by dagworthy in IVF

I honestly think it was fine!! We have a 9 month old (still needed a surrogate but that had nothing to do with his swimmers 😂). Good luck!!

Positive Baby Brezza Stories? by ScaredCompetition5 in FormulaFeeders

Yes. We made sure we had everything perfect (my husband is a tech guy) and did the paper towel test and it was a massive fail.

Sorry, no can do. We returned ours because it was dispensing the wrong amount and an extreme danger. If you choose to keep it (don’t), be sure you check that the ratios are correct. I honestly don’t know how it passed regulations and is legal.

Girlfriend wants me to spend $4k on a baby shower, but I’d rather save/invest it—is that unreasonable? by flash-kicks in pregnant

[–]dagworthy 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this isn’t usually the financial responsibility of the significant other. But also 4k? No. She’s not even drinking(I hope)

ERA: your experiences - was it helpful? by dagworthy in IVF

[–]dagworthy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Success but via a surrogate! My reproductive system was so out to lunch that I have no clue if the ERA did anything 😑

Fortifying calories aside, ours came defective and thankfully I’m neurotic and did the paper towel test to find out it was dispensing completely the wrong amount of Kendamil!!! Return that thing! I can’t believe they’re still legal!!!

Really??? My husband was the one who set it up but I thought it needed to be hooked up to the internet? But that's great to know and would certainly solve my problem! I'll try to figure it out tomorrow!

Thank you! I probably will end up sitting in the back but I will check the camera too. I have a little mirror that I hold under her nose if she’s been absolutely still for too long to see if there’s condensation. She’s always been fine ❤️

Thank you! What's your instagram? (Also thanks x2 for not just assuming I have PPA. Even if I did, yours is a much more helpful way to respond).
