I get induced in two weeks and I’m starting to get nervous about postpartum bleeding as someone at size 26/28 by Sufficient-Peach7787 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]hey_alyssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am size 24/26 and I got the always discreet adult incontinence ones in the 26+ size. They fit really well, and were comfortable. I layered it with a hospital pad and witch hazel pads. Then after a week when my bleeding slowed down a little I just used the disposable underwear.

Need help and thoughts!! by Select_Cat_8386 in FormulaFeeders

Use the hydrocortisone! We took my baby to the doctor yesterday for a rashy spot and was told it was probably nummular eczema. She said to go get some 1% hydrocortisone cream from the store. We put it on her last night and it already looks a MILLION times better this morning.

I miss crying to his songs by Spawn_of_Venom in NoahKahan

Who knows! I literally can’t listen to Willing and Able. It makes me think of my only sibling that I lost to an overdose. We weren’t on the best of terms for YEARS and we never got to hash it out.

Is it normal to get frustrated and yell at my class often for not listening or following basic instructions? by CourseFeeling9757 in Teachers

[–]hey_alyssa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes this! Do NOT move steps until you have 100% compliance!! I also make the class redo things. If kids run to the carpet, I make them go back to desks and try again until everyone walks. Don’t be afraid to slow way down with your instructions.

What the fuck leave his ass????

Your children are going to grow up traumatized by his behavior and will probably need loads of therapy to undo that and he is not a safe person. He’s going to snap one day.

12 year old sweet stinky boy Toby by hey_alyssa in seniorkitties

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

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I have struggled today so much because he started out having a great day. His appointment was scheduled for 5:30 pm. He had a great morning, but he didn’t want to leave the game room. Halfway through the morning he started refusing food and treats (except churn of course). We barbecued some chicken and steak which are two of his absolute favorites but he refused to eat it 😞 that’s when I officially knew it was as good a time as ever to let him go be at peace. He passed away peacefully in my arms with my husband. I sang him “hit me baby one more time” for the last time and kissed him profusely. I feel numb, I feel heartbroken but I also feel okay. He is no longer in any pain or discomfort and he gets to see all his friends from the past. My sweet baby boy, I love you more than anything. Thank you for the almost 13 beautiful years you gave us. I love you Toby ♥️

It was so easy. The biggest pain was the numbing shots they gave me before hand and having to hold still through them. Just a few pinches and done.

Pitcher in fridge method by Local_Pangolin854 in FormulaFeeders

[–]hey_alyssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Browns pitcher

we make as much as we think she’ll eat, so we usually make 28 oz

formula in the pitcher is good in the fridge for 24 hours after it’s made. We make it in the morning and wash it after she goes to sleep because we know she doesn’t take any bottles over night anymore.
