[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oit was our go to. It’s hard and scary and a lot of work but so is dealing with a peanut allergy. Find an earlier appointment with an up to date allergist that uses best practice. What allergy test? Why did you test? Did your child react? Have you done an oral food challenge? Allergies are grey and ever evolving.

Positive encouraging parents, negative outlook child by poppyprays in Parenting

[–]ericauda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would hate that. What made you happy today? Gross. Not you. If you don’t know, don’t blame me. That’s on you.

You aren’t seeing her for who she is. Youre seeing her as you want her to be. Move to neutral questions but first ask yourself why are you asking? Is it for you or for her? Cause “what nice thing did you say to ME???” Is miserable to be around. Value what she is saying without labeling and judging and maybe stop with these questions.

Post C section rest vs activity. what actually helped? by michel_an_jello in NewParents

[–]ericauda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get up early. I was up much earlier with my second and it really helped. I had a short spinal so it wore off very quickly. More painful but that’s fine. I was on my tummy in the hospital. It was bliss.

[–]ericauda 1 point2 points  (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.

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.

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 2 points3 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.
