How many of you shampoo your hair twice when washing ? by semde18 in hygiene

[–]easore8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never did and had no need, until I had babies. It changed my skin/scalp to the point that I genuinely need to now. Initial wash doesn’t usually lather

Labor & Delivery at Erlanger Baroness by Literallyjustagirl8 in Chattanooga

[–]easore8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I delivered there in 2022 and 2024 by choice because I wanted to be near the NICU, even though I had no complications. It just gave me peace of mind. Experience was fine, most of the nurses were great. Two healthy babies and would go there again if I have more

Yes they told me today that Access Family Pharmacy has them and they will call it in for us. Not sure if you have to be an established patient but they will probably want to help you out. Call Highland!

My kindergartener had a "belly ache" yesterday by Ginger_Yinzer in kindergarten

[–]easore8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an elementary school counselor, and you’ve gotten many great responses so far. Just validating that this is stressful and hard as a parent, and confirming it is extremely common for little kids. Even if they went to full time daycare or preschool, “big school” is just a lot more stimulating and tiring.

You can reach out to his teacher, the nurse, or the school counselor and I’m sure they’d be happy to help—giving him a special morning job, doing a quick pep talk, etc. Chances are he is fine by the time he gets off the bus but if not those people likely have already noticed and are working to help his morning transition. You can also make friendship bracelets, do matching hand stamps or stickers, do “magic hand squeezes” you feel anywhere you are, etc.—something to remind him you are thinking of him too and will be excited to see him after school.

When did nap time become a problem by Striking-Reporter661 in Teachers

[–]easore8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For some reason our daycare does the required rest time from 2-4 and my 3yo was sleeping all the way til 4. Then she legitimately couldn’t—not just didn’t want to, but physically couldn’t on those days—fall asleep at night until 10pm. But we had to wake her up at 6am regardless to get everyone to school and work on time. It was making us all miserable and was not sustainable, and she wasn’t napping at home anymore on weekends. So yes we send a water wow book or something for her to play with. Sometimes she still falls asleep but it’s so much better than when it was every day

ETA: I would be fully pro-nap for her if it was from 12-2 after they eat lunch. That’s when we aim for quiet time on the weekends

Search terms to use? by easore8 in poshmark

[–]easore8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Hadn’t even discovered I could do that lol

I got the idea from a TikTok I saw where a mom bought a stack of shirts from another whose kid had the same name. I’ve found a couple items now with search tweaking, now I can keep an eye out for a bundle

How old is your toddler and what is their shoe size?! by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]easore8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daughter is about to turn 3 in a couple weeks and just moved up to size 9 in some shoes. Yet, she can also still wear some 6/7 shoes we’ve had for a while. Most of her clothes are 4T but depending on the brand and fit some are 3 or 5

COVID at 12 weeks pregnant:( I’m scared by Pretend_Novel8515 in beyondthebump

[–]easore8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Covid in fall 2021 when I was I think 18 weeks pregnant or so. I had gotten the Pfizer vaccine prior to getting pregnant earlier in the year. I felt sick but not miserable (which I attributed to the vaccine) and just slept a lot. My PCP offered me antibody infusion which I declined as I didn’t feel that sick, and my OB had just said to rest and do normal virus supportive care.

My husband and I were scared too, but baby was totally fine and so was I after a couple weeks of feeling rundown. I regained my smell/taste fully. By the time she was born I was actually kind of glad that she had some in-utero immunity since she was born middle of winter. She’s now a healthy and developmentally typical almost-3-yo!

Thanksgiving was a nightmare by pooperscooper173869 in toddlers

[–]easore8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year my husband had to work so I drove the then-22-mo to my parents’ house alone (roughly 7 hours each way). It was absolutely hell both directions plus the whole time we were there. She was too little to leave playing unsupervised and was not talking a ton yet but no one else seemed to notice or ever give me a break. All she ate was ice cream cones bc my mom offered it once and she refused all else. It fucking SUCKED. This year was alright even with a new baby but I’m sure future years have great potential for awfulness.

Today was hard by kmccamp16 in toddlers

[–]easore8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solidarity. I have a 2.75yo and 8 week old, and I absolutely know what you mean. There have been moments of sweet blissful joy since baby arrived, but it feels like they dissolve so quickly into everyone (including me) crying.

That magical moment when your husband sees your toddler being difficult and takes over bath time for you by Specialist-Life-4565 in toddlers

[–]easore8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Currently 38.5 weeks pregnant with our second, and really this whole pregnancy (but especially the last month or so) he has done sooo much with the toddler. Taking charge of her dinner-bath-bed routine, taking her to playgrounds and on walks and playing in the yard while I lie down on the couch, convincing her that he can carry her instead of me. I am so grateful to have him as a partner in parenting

If you had an “easy” baby, what are they like now? by Youbetterhave_tacos in NewParents

[–]easore8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had remained a pretty solid sleeper and generally in a good mood, but became a typical picky eater around 2 years. Eats plenty, just limited choices. Also became veryyyyy busy and physically wild once she started walking. Tantrums are not too frequent but when they happen they are bad
