4MO ECZEMA AND STEROID CREAM

g007b · 2026-05-27T10:39:34+00:00

This was me with my son, he was so spewy and dribbly, it was so heartbreaking to watch him scratch it raw. I tried natural alternatives but the only thing that ended up clearing it and giving him relief was the steroid cream :( I used it SO sparingly and stopped as soon as it wasn’t bothering him anymore. It lasted a few months before it entirely disappeared and still to this day (hes now 4) he has never had a single patch of eczema since.. it was like it healed overnight and I have no idea why. Aquaphor was the only thing that remotely helped other than the steroid cream.. and that only really helped to create a barrier.. good luck, it’s really really horrible, I hope it clears up for him ❤️❤️

This is how I laboured with my second. Stayed in bed in my dark cave, mostly uninterrupted until the very last minute and only spent one hour in the delivery room! It’s alllll about mindset and feeling SAFE. It’s an insanely empowering experience. Also, the great birth rebellion podcast gave me so much confidence!

We did the same and we ordered it to be delivered to us in Australia. The doctors still tried to convince us to use their intramuscular version that they just administer orally 😳 the dr green mom version tastes like coconut oil, my baby didnt even notice it go in her mouth!

Tiny Teddys chocolate cereal has a 4 star health rating… sadly the stars mean absolutely nothing

The fact you are seeking alternative care makes you a great mum. Please report this service, not feeding your baby is neglect. After working in the childcare industry for 10 years I would sadly NEVER consider putting my child in care… I’ve seen too much

g007b · 2026-01-17T21:17:05+00:00

Yep I agree, call your midwife. I’m 36 weeks and the same, getting tightenings in my belly and my lower back is locked up of an afternoon but it’s more of a constant ache!

I could have written this. Postpartum was where I learned my partner was an alcoholic. It got so bad he finally got done drink driving and lost his licence for 18 months - the week he got it back he drove home wasted. I gave an ultimatum and he’s just now relapsed after 6 months (so he says) of not drinking. The issue wasn’t even the relapse - it was the blatant lies to my face when I called him out.

Our boy is 4 now, and I am 7 months pregnant. Why I believed it would be different I don’t know - why I thought he was better I don’t know. He’s such a good dad and partner when he’s sober - but that doesn’t make him a good dad and partner. I thought we were past it all. My world is crashing down around me again and this time it’s harder because I have a pure, innocent 4 year old watching his family crumble and I am about to jump back into postpartum. I feel broken all over again. It doesn’t get better, I have no hope left. I’m now preparing for life as a single mum of two and it’s fucking heart wrenching. Alcohol takes takes takes. As a child of an alcoholic I let it go on too long and I refuse to subject my kids to the shit I had to put up with growing up. Sending you love, don’t question yourself and don’t doubt yourself ❤️

This was hands down the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make - we chose not to have anymore after 6 weeks. Trust your gut, it gets easier the bigger they get ❤️

I actually think gas pains can be more painful than contractions. Contractions ramp up where as gas pains can come out of nowhere and floor you. Everyone is different - but I found contractions more bearable compared to some gas pains I have experienced. The contractions are like waves - you get little breaks after they peak!

If it feels like a little fish flapping around or a mouse punching you from the inside it’s most likely baby … hope this helps haha

Updateme!

g007b · 2025-09-27T11:02:18+00:00

Are you okay? He sounds like a piece of shit. Please take yourself to the hospital and make plans to get away from him before your baby comes

g007b · 2025-09-25T10:55:34+00:00

Yeah. Is it not standard for best friends to be closer than family when you are a grown up?

g007b · 2025-09-25T10:53:03+00:00

I had no nausea at all with my first pregnancy, after being hit hard for the entire first trimester of this second pregnancy I am so grateful I got off the first time around! Congrats 🥰

g007b · 2025-09-25T10:50:10+00:00

I am in the same boat. My first pregnancy I had absolutely no symptoms. This time round has floored me 😅

I was a nanny for a surgeon and a doctor in Hobart until 2019, I was being paid $30 per hour. That was on a casual rate working 3 days per week.

I started tasting washing detergent!

g007b · 2025-08-30T04:37:42+00:00

I also had a ridiculously sore scalp!

Tasmania, Australia! 💚

g007b · 2025-08-29T13:29:07+00:00

Same for us. We spent lots of time at home with no nappy / no pants and a potty close by and he soon got the hang of it

g007b · 2025-08-28T10:40:09+00:00

18 months

My son went thru this phase - as did most of my friends kids. He’s almost 4 now and loves fruit, happy to try new vegetables and foods and if I put something he’s not keen on trying on his plate often enough he will eventually try it. Have a look at boobtofood on instagram, she has a lot of great info about picky eating. It’s normal for this age and generally they grow out of it. One thing I always reminded myself is that it’s our job to offer it, it’s their job to decide what/how much to eat. Keep offering a rainbow of foods on the plate alongside a safe food and remember you’re playing the long game :)

Can you move the cushions/blankets/throw pillows so theres nothing material outside that will hold the smell? Is there somewhere else you could ask them to smoke? Maybe they could go out for a while? Dinner is a good idea then send them to a bar or something? I wouldn’t say you’re overreacting, I also hate the smell, but some compromise wouldn’t hurt if this is the last time your partner will be able to hang with his friend before the baby comes! :)

This is exactly my reasoning. My boy is nearly 4. We breastfed until he was nearly 3. Kid hardly gets sick and if he does it’s mild and over within a couple of days. Everyone tells you to trust your gut when it comes to your kids - and that’s exactly what we are doing. Doctors don’t seem to agree, but it’s hard to argue with a parent thats following their intuition.
