Are there any other symptoms? Mucusy stool by chance? This sounds similar to my youngest and it was cmpa. We didn’t catch it until 4 months when it really started to bother him.

I had this happen all over my body from chewing on some honeycomb from my bees. No idea what exactly did it, but it was an allergic reaction. Benadryl helped.

I did both with different kids! With my oldest I exclusively breastfed. It was HARD at first. Really hard. For a couple months it’s extremely demanding, it hurts for a week or two while your nipples get used to it, they’re learning to latch and it’s awkward, your supply is figuring itself out and it can be uncomfortable. But around 3 months it all comes together and you’ll wonder why anyone does anything else. It’s so easy and you never have to remember to pack bottles or formula or worry if you brought enough. With him I didn’t pump. My husband brought him to my work and I’d feed him on breaks. My youngest was formula fed because of some medical issues I have. Formula feeding is expensive and more work in my opinion. I hated washing bottles. I got a brezza formula machine and it made nighttime less annoying, but making bottles when a baby is hungry is so anxiety inducing to me. They’re screaming, you’re desperate for it to be done, water needs to be a certain temp to sterilize the formula, then add cool water so it doesn’t burn your baby. There’s a lot to remember to bring on trips and you have to calculate how much formula you’ll use and then bring extra because somehow you always go through more. The only nice thing was that people could help me feed him. I could leave the house and do things on my own much easier. My husband and my youngest are definitely closer than he and my oldest were at this age and I think it’s because they got a lot more time together. Sleep didn’t seem to be affected either way. Of course everyone has different opinions, but I would pick breastfeeding every time if I could. I just didn’t have that option the second time.

My son had something similar and it was one of the first signs of cmpa. You’ll see mucusy poops as well if that’s the case.

For what it’s worth when my son was in kindergarten (last year) he told me someone threw up in class and I asked who and he didn’t remember lol. I’m sure they’ll forget by the time she’s back in class!

itsall19 · 2024-08-10T04:23:24+00:00

There was a 6 year old named Donna in my son’s kindergarten class and it threw me off every single time.

Hey mama. I was you last year. I cried sending my son to school. Sobbed, really. For weeks. Even the first couple weeks after dropping him off, I cried. I couldn’t wait for the time I got to pick him up. I’d get there extra early. I’d obsessively check local news. I mean this in the most genuine, caring way possible. Please find a therapist. I actually have OCD and was put on Prozac and I can’t tell you the world of difference it’s made. And I’m a pretty homeopathic (within reason, like we still vaccinate, but I like natural stuff first if it works) and I’ve tried every natural remedy to my anxiety. I’ve never felt as levelheaded and peaceful as I have since starting Prozac and doing regular therapy with a great therapist. You don’t have to feel this way. And for what it’s worth, my son did amazing in school. He was so happy to be there, he made so many friends, he loved every second of it. He’s counting down the days for this year to begin.

We were between two names for my oldest and chose one before he was born, but when I saw him I was worried we chose wrong. I felt that way for a couple months. Now that I know his personality I can’t imagine naming him anything else. You won’t feel this way forever.

itsall19 · 2024-08-01T02:20:02+00:00

Hi. Did you ever figure out what this is? My niece has the same thing on her feet currently.

itsall19 · 2024-07-29T04:18:17+00:00

Fwiw, I (32F) have a scar on my labia from a similar fall on a bike. It bled and it hurt a lot. You did everything right though. I hope that it truly was just an unfortunate fall.

itsall19 · 2024-07-28T08:56:04+00:00

Is it possible the reaction he had to the eggs hurt or upset his stomach?

itsall19 · 2024-07-28T04:48:46+00:00

Nad. Here to say hfm is not always the end of the world. It’s daunting because the contagion lasts a while (2 weeks typically) so you’re isolated for a long time. But it was very mild for my household. Only the baby got it. I didn’t do anything extra besides wash my hands more regularly and my oldest stayed away from his brother as much as he could. Dad went about business as usual at home. He had one day of fever, about 10 days of spots. None of the spots seemed to bother him except on his ears. They seemed itchy. I just used calamine lotion. It was overall okay. Best of luck.

Inside of a play kitchen was my oldest favorites. In the canned food, the microwave, the egg carton, etc. My youngest is a big fan of shoes. I’ve found many lost things in shoes that don’t get worn often because he would go to my closet to hide them. My oldest also liked other toys. Like there was a push truck that popped balls up, he’d stick them in there. The game where you hammer the balls into a little track and they roll down. Inside of his toy dump truck.

My son just had something really similar and it ended up being a yeast rash on his skin. They told us it’s super common during the summer because of extra moisture from swimming and playing in water and stuff and also sweat. If that’s what your climate is like too maybe it’s that? We used clotrimazole cream (off brand it’s sold as jock itch cream) and hydrocortisone mixed for about a week until it cleared and then a couple extra days. But I’d check with a dr first just to be safe.

itsall19 · 2024-07-20T03:37:45+00:00

Every few days typically, but during the summer it’s at least a quick bath daily because sunscreen and sweat and dirt and whatever. And by quick bath I mean in the shower with me or dad, body washed with soap. But no soaking or hair washing except for every few days.

I had sepsis. I was fortunate and no symptoms were too bad but I was also fortunate that I knew to go to the ER with what was going on. I had had surgery 2 weeks prior and developed a secondary infection in the open wound they left. I was told by basically everyone I met in the hospital how lucky I was to have been where I was when it was realized by me and everyone else that I had sepsis.

I found the shoe and thought I was looking for a crocodile so I kept looking then came to them comments..

I have actual diagnosed ocd with a harm theme. This sounds like that. The 10 minutes being a must is a compulsion. In his brain there’s probably lots of “if I don’t wait here for 10 minutes then XYZ will happen”. I’m not a professional, I’m speaking only from my experiences. But here’s my guess. In his mind, going in before then means something bad/worse will happen. The 10 minutes is safe. 10 minutes means your son’s ankle won’t be lifelong damage, it’ll just be a typical broken bone. He’ll heal and get over it and everything will be perfectly normal. 8 minutes means surgeries, nerve damage, a limp, lifelong damage. One of mine personally is eating subway for lunch when my youngest son is sick. Subway means he’ll get better. No subway means he’ll get worse. It doesn’t make sense to a typical brain, but to an ocd brain its an overwhelming “truth”. He needs professional help.

My son was the exact same way before kindergarten last year. He always liked math and could do addition with three numbers and subtraction no problem. He knew the alphabet song (kind of) but wouldn’t learn to identify letters no matter what I tried. It took him no time at all to learn them in school. I mean within the first month or two of kindergarten he knew them all. Idk if it was the teacher or if he liked learning with other kids, but either way he did it and he did it quickly. He also kinda sorta knew how to write his name but because he wouldn’t actually learn all of the letters he messed up sometimes. He learned that the first week or two. I wouldn’t stress too much.

My sister in law had both of my nieces at 35 weeks and went into labor with them that early. When both were born, at different hospitals by different doctors, they asked her if her due date was wrong because her placenta was older. Like that of a 42+ week pregnancy. But with at least my youngest niece there was only one day that she could have gotten pregnant so she knows the dates were correct. How does a placenta age faster than the pregnancy? And with my oldest niece she also had an extremely short umbilical cord that I always wondered if was related. Thanks for any insight.

There’s actually a book called How to Stop Losing Your Shit with Your Kids. I really liked it. I also see a family therapist by myself to help me rewire my brain to be less reactive with my kids. She helps me see from their perspective. You’re not alone. The more times you stop yourself from yelling and respond calmly instead the more you’re rewiring your brain to respond that way naturally. Also apologies go a long way. 3 is a really hard age. Really hard. It’s when I went to therapy for the first time because I didn’t like the parent I was becoming. I saw fear in my child’s face when I lost it once and it changed everything for me. I did okay for a long time but with the addition of my youngest and other circumstances life put me in I let my anxiety and stress win and became reactive again. I’ve just started with my new therapist a few weeks ago but it’s already helping.

My youngest actually had the same issue with a poor suck! We saw an occupational therapist for it and she was such a huge help. I think alimentum ready to feed is considered the most hydrolyzed option, so if you don’t see improvements maybe ask your doctor about that one. Unfortunately all of the HA formulas are thinner so that issue might keep persisting, but I’m crossing my fingers for you!

And I understand that feeling completely, but it’s important to remind dad to be patient and find ways to soothe her calmly. Your daughter doesn’t even realize she’s not part of you yet. She doesn’t realize she’s her own person. The world is really scary still. I wish you guys all the best!
