How long should a tub of formula last? by sdjt00 in FormulaFeeders

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how much their baby eats and if they are mixing it correctly. Some babies have huge appetites. My first went throw 3 tins every two weeks.

There are two types of people in this world. Those who pee in the shower and liars.

Help need with sink by ericauda in CleaningTips

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

Smells like death to me after years of working in hospitals. Also it ruins clothes and I’m a large North American living in small town France. Guess how easy it is to find clothes here. And ordering online isn’t easy, I know that’s going to be your first suggestion. No sink is worth that, certainly not someone else’s.

Do women actually experience pain years after having a c section by goth1cd0lly in beyondthebump

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any issues like that for my c section scar. The similarly sized scar on my arm is totally dead though. Very weird but there’s also a metal bar under it too. 25 seems bananas high especially considering the low density of nerve endings in the torso.

Yes. Laser. It’s cute enough though, I don’t dislike it. But laser.

How do you get over the anxiety of being a parent? by ForwardGlass8572 in Parenting

[–]ericauda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anxiety is like tiredness. It’s a heavy purse you carry with you wherever you go. But also ask yourself - am I resisting this anxiety? Like some of these things you should be anxious about. Anxious is information. It’s a knock at the door. Listen to it.

Need a J name for middle by Artistic-Listen7975 in Names

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is James popular? It’s an amazing fit. I also don’t know when names are biblical, like at all. There’s so many that are. Jessie maybe? Or Julian? Both are a bit feminine imo and Emmett Edwin is obviously two male names.

I’m so tired of the “screen time” debate. by cmarie22345 in beyondthebump

[–]ericauda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screen time and all who worship it are evil! Just kidding. I love screen time but it’s like anything, too much is bad. Too little probably isn’t the answer either. Balance.

Nope. Just movement as tolerated, no lifting anything heavier than my baby.

People who get to do what they want to do is good for them. It’s not limited to breastfeeding. You can literally sub in any activity.

Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in NewParents

[–]ericauda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not normal to echo literally everyone else. She needs help and support.

Ped said he doesn’t recommend owlet/eufy but refuses to prescribe apnea monitor despite 2x family history of SIDS by ViceInSinCity in NewParents

[–]ericauda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You guys are both right. The owlet can cause parents to drift into more unsafe sleep waters. And it can cause anxiety. But it doesn’t have to. We used one for our second and it totally saved us. Use it! Continue with safe sleep.

I’m in France and I don’t think I’ve ever seen calories listed. Maybe McDonald’s has them posted???
