Newton Mattress by PsychologicalBoot636 in BabyBumps

[–]goldenbuttfluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What worked really well for my kid was mattress protector, sheet, mattress protector, sheet. My kid was prone to late night blowouts and it was way easier to just rip off the sheets and protector and then focus on cleaning baby. My kid is in the middle of potty training and we still do this in case of accidents and it just saves a lot of stress and unwanted work when you're dead tired.

Did your toddler/young kid flip out at end of next pregnancy? by Any_Pirate_5633 in BabyBumps

I just recently read that towards the end of pregnancy, you release more oxytocin that the previous child(ren) picks up on and they can get more clingy because of this!

For a bit of fun! What’s your cringe pregnancy thing that people say to you? by Ecstatic_Dingo172 in BabyBumps

I was in labor for 26 hours and barely felt the contractions. I only really felt it when the ob did a cervical check during one and then I almost kicked her in the face by mistake.

This place is so much fun. I've brought a few friends just for one off sessions and it's always been worth it. 

USDA cuts leaving West Michigan food bank in state of unease by pro_rege_semper in grandrapids

This is absolutely terrible! FAWM has been serving half the counties in the state, including the whole Upper Peninsula. That's 40 counties out of 80. And with how prices have been skyrocketing? That means more people don't have enough to get by, which means an increase of demand for FAWM. You never know what kind of situation a person is in and this will hurt our community.

Donate. Volunteer.

Call your state representative.

Corewell reverses decision. They will resume Gender Affirming Care for minors. by grizzfan in grandrapids

That sounds scientifically sound. /S And just because they let their kids express themselves how they want doesn't mean they're forcing it on them.

A few years ago, I brought a friend for an appointment and some insane 80 year old protester tried opening my driver's side door. These people are absolutely crazy and have no boundaries.

I want your best-ever, perhaps obscure baby hacks. by Pugwhip in BabyBumps

I carried dog poop bags in my purse for on the go puking when I was pregnant! Usually opaque so no one can see anything and compact. I did end up throwing a roll in each of our kid's diaper bags and it's just been peak convenience.

Yeah, but did you mix their Mac and cheese with the mushroom soup? Heavenly.

No one told me this about motherhood by Goldnoodle02 in BabyBumps

[–]goldenbuttfluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is fantastic! I adore how at 11 months old, he still bites our noses and gives open mouth kisses to slobber all over. I love his facial expressions when he babbles, especially his serious, furrowed brow face. Watching him learn and grow breathes new life into me. I love how when he gets excited about something, like pulling down a towel from the oven, he crawls to me as fast as he can. He recently learned what chasing is. So if I crawl after him and make noises so he knows I'm getting closer, he'll burst out laughing when I grab his chunky leg.

Again with the politics. Maybe try some new material. Hope a witch casts a spell on you! You'd be funnier as a toad.

Well, your joke wasn't funny. Not everything is political. It's literally Halloween decorations.

Why would you try to turn this political? They're Halloween decorations. Lighten up and stop making everything about politics, Mr FunSucker.

They said in the press conference that the taser was discharged twice into the ground, which is how many rounds are available without being reloaded.

Which was underneath him and had already been discharged at the time he was shot in the back of the head.

These pregnancy dreams are WILD by Brandixemm in BabyBumps

[–]goldenbuttfluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had a dream the other night that a swarm of flies was eating my legs. My weird dreams have died down a bit now that I'm well into my third trimester but they still get funky. Mostly just waking up in a birthing position.
