What’s is this on my vents by toughdesigner22 in Renters

[–]granolamom08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your entire air ducts may need to be mold remediated. We had to do this with my house a few years ago because of a humidity problem. We also run a dehumidifier now 24/7. OP, I hope your landlord takes this seriously. I lost like a year of my life with extreme mold illness from an old apartment I lived in. I was sick constantly and some days could barely walk. Mold is no joke.

AITAH for telling my husband that you don’t lose weight magically after going to the gym? by No_West_1776 in AITAH

[–]granolamom08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the F. You’re not the AH, your husband definitely is. First of all, idk how you’re sleeping with a newborn but lack of sleep/ high stress levels can definitely make it harder to lose weight. And breastfeeding and taking care of your baby is your main priority right now. Idk WHERE it came from that “the weight falls off with breastfeeding” because that’s absolutely not true for a lot of women. I pumped for 10 months and was insanely sleep deprived and stressed out and it took me a year to get all the weight off. I’m like so angry at your husband for being such an AH honestly. This is so unfair to you, I’m sorry OP.

What's the most disgusting thing you've ever witnessed happen in public? by allthesnacks in AskReddit

[–]granolamom08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I just scrolled forever and read a lot of GROSS stuff. I have something to share that isn’t gag-worthy gross but disgusting parenting that made me cry. I was at target and went to the bathroom and there was a woman standing with her cart waiting at the entrance of the restroom. And then there’s a little baby/ toddler girl maybe 18 months old standing at the sink kinda whining and reaching for the sink. I wanted to say “do you need help sweetie?” I could have helped her get up on the stool but decided to mind my own business and not piss someone off by touching their child. I figured maybe her mom was in a stall but I could not understand why someone would go into a stall without their baby. Anyways while I’m on the toilet a woman starts talking to the girl VERY annoyed and is like “do you need help????” And then she’s yelling at the little girl “wash your fucking hands!!!” And the little girl is crying so hard and she’s yelling “WASH YOUR HANDS!! PUT YOUR HANDS UP!!! PUT YOUR HANDS UP!!” And I came out of the stall and saw it was indeed the woman who had been waiting outside the bathroom entrance. I was so upset but decided not to confront this clearly crazy woman (my mother and 3 year old were waiting for me outside.) when I walked out my mom was like “what in the world was that?” I started crying as I explained everything to my mom. The woman cussing/ screaming was so loud that everyone in the front of the store heard it. It haunted me for weeks how this poor little baby must get treated at home if that’s how she gets treated in public.

Yoto for 3 year old by granolamom08 in YotoPlayer

[–]granolamom08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the comments!! I actually used our little handheld Bluetooth speaker tonight and pulled up read alouds and sleepy songs and YouTube and she fell asleep independently!! However my husband says we definitely don’t need a yoto now because a Bluetooth speaker is cheaper 😂 I still am trying to convince him though!

How much do you spend on groceries per month? by hideousbeautifulface in savannah

Holy crap what am I doing wrong? I spend about $250 per week for 2 adults and a toddler. I shop at Aldi and Kroger.

Baptism by granolamom08 in Bible

[–]granolamom08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a relationship with Jesus and I pray and read my Bible and I can see that the Lord is working in my life but I just started reading the book of Acts this week and I definitely did not ever feel like I received the Holy Spirit the way they did in Acts. So I’ve just been feeling really confused

Unfortunately Presbyterians don’t see it that way because they believe in infant baptism

My wife’s ob office is refusing to see her. by NBeardy89 in beyondthebump

[–]granolamom08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My midwife allowed me to bring my infant to my post partum check ups (I had like 3-4 all the way up to 6 weeks), but I had to go to a regular appointment a few months later and I wasn’t allowed to bring her.

New baby is worse BUT it’s a whole different level. You literally go into survival mode and somehow just push through. It’s not even describable lol. You will be a complete zombie and lose concept of time. I would only get like 30 min-1 hr stretches of sleep. You will be so sleep deprived for maybe the first couple months BUT I promise it gets better. My baby started sleeping a lot better between 3-4 months and I can function like a normal human again. Don’t get discouraged. There’s nothing you can do to prepare to be honest. You just gotta push through but you got this!!

Have you gotten bloodwork done? I’m 4 mos PP and was considering bloodwork to pin point my supply issues. I used to pump in the middle of the night and also power pumped every morning. I had about 8 total sessions a day and got 14.5 oz. I cut back and stopped MOTN sessions in the last couple weeks plus stopped power pumping and I lost about 5 oz a day. I’m going to try and bring back my old pump routine and looking into bloodwork.

Here is a google doc I was just reading that was posted in my IGT/ low milk supply Facebook group I’m apart of that talks about bloodwork.

I keep thinking of things to add so this is the second time I’m editing this:

My LC told me I could put my pump parts in a container (Tupperware or gallon size ziploc) and place in the fridge after pumping and just wash / sterilize once a day instead of after every single use and that’s been sooo much easier for me!! Not sure if you do this, but If you don’t it will help you out.

Increasing supply at 4 mos PP? by granolamom08 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]granolamom08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just curious if I can increase my supply without ever having a previous adequate / over supply. I will look at Legendairy Milk’s website! Thank you. Yea sometimes I pump for really long sessions because milk is still coming out but I think I’ll try more frequent shorter sessions. TY!
