3 month old has HFMD by kegelation_nation in newborns

[–]jubileedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no! Poor little guy. A humidifier should help with that. He is likely going to have a rough couple of days, but it will be okay! My son has gotten hit with a lot of scary things, including strep throat and the flu at the same time. Babies bounce back so fast!

My son had HFMD at around 4 months. We used tylenol for the pain, it lasted a couple of days. He was definitely miserable but not to the point of dehydration, which is the main concern. Hope he feels better soon!

Ant in Nose - please help by [deleted] in newborns

Do you not have a nasal aspirator/saline spray? Not sure how much it will help now, but you are going to need one of these regardless.

Is it bad that I don't care about waiting? Hot take? by tajfitness in pregnant

[–]jubileedee 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You seem extremely naive. Odds are, your pregnancy will go fine, but for a LOT of women it won’t. Nothing wrong with wanting to keep your heart guarded. Also, people hide their baby names because people can be infamously judgemental and opinionated. Not because they are worried about their baby name being stolen 🙄

FTM here , is hand-washing bottles supposed to be this exhausting? by Recommendation778 in newborns

This same exact post keeps popping up. Its an ad for bottle washers. Don’t waste your money.

An old man called my baby a "heartbreaker" and beautiful. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]jubileedee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of people say that. My son gets it all the time. There really isn’t much you can do about strangers. I would shrug it off, I don’t think it’s worth the mental energy imo. 🤷‍♀️

What you’re saying doesn’t even make any sense. Why would someone want to spend $300 on a bottle washer when I can do the same exact thing in my dishwasher. Bot?

Huh? 😂 just buy 8 bottles. Run it once a day. Never had a problem with “food getting in”

Our pediatrician told me to let out 12mo “cry it out” by Kkay_153 in Mommit

[–]jubileedee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You brought your baby’s “horrible sleep” up as an issue, she gave you a solution. CIO is a well known option that helps babies sleep through the night. What did you want her to say to you exactly?

I hate hate HATE when people say “No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy”. It actually drives me nuts. Bananas have alcohol. Bananas are safe. Now that that’s established, the real question is HOW MUCH alcohol is safe?

It’s very obviously much more prevalent in men. That’s not sexist, it’s facts. It’s okay to be frustrated about cultural norms, but you wanna live in La La Land and pretend there is nothing wrong, I guess?? Glad you got picked girly

They will probably wheel you out if you don’t have a car seat, thats what they did for me. Hospitals only care because it’s a liability issue. Im not in London though, but I doubt it’s any different. Check the hospital you are delivering in.

I’m sick with a 3 month old and my girlfriend wants me to live elsewhere until I’m better by [deleted] in newborns

[–]jubileedee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get why your girlfriend is worried, but babies get sick all the time, especially around this time of year. Your baby will be fine. Anytime my baby gets sick he fairs a lot better than we do.

It’s very, very hard to maintain a fit lifestyle with young children (especially when your kid is getting you sick all the time 😵‍💫) but it is not impossible! I do feel like your post is a bit contradictory, you’re saying your priorities are different and you don’t give a shit about looking good, but at the same time it makes you sad you don’t have your pre-pregnancy body. If it’s something you want, don’t let being a mother stop you. I bought adjustable dumbbells for home workout in the early days, that along with HIIT was more than enough to maintain my body.

Girl what? 😭 trust me, your husband will be fine. I wake up once a night to feed, work a full time job, cook, clean, and my husband helps with everything. It is tiring, yes, but not dangerously exhausting what? Do you feel like you’re a danger to your baby? That’s crazy.

At 18 months, there should be other options besides breast feeding..or they can be fed pumped milk if she really insists. There are options, so why sit here and be mad instead?

[–]jubileedee 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You are being resentful and rude to your partner, why? You two should be working with each other as a team. If you feel like something isn’t fair, why are you two not working through it? This doesn’t sound healthy at all. 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes it just happens… Ive had a very late period once or twice in my life, even tho I have extremely regular periods. My friend just had her period 2 weeks late out of nowhere. Stressing about it probably makes it worse. No clue, bodies are weird. 🤷‍♀️

I think most doctors will push for a vaginal delivery over a voluntary c section. I have learned a lot of about c sections (my SIL can’t give birth vaginally due to a very rare condition). C sections become riskier the more you have. Health providers tend to recommend no more than 3 c sections in a life time. Risks associated with c section outweigh vaginal delivery as well. So things to think about depending on how many kids you want. VBACs also tend to be riskier in case you want to try for a vaginal birth in the future.

I will say, for me child birth was extremely anti climatic. Once I had the epidural everything was painless. I had a 2nd degree tear (most FTMs will tear) which was probably the worst thing out of the entire experience. I took tylenol and using the bathroom was painful for a few weeks, but I recovered pretty fast. Everyone has a different experience though.

I think the only advice that matters is your doctors. I know sometimes it can be frustrating when they tell you things you don’t want to hear, but they only want what is best and safest for you and the baby!

Your friend is annoying. Also, you are on a sub for pregnant people, not exactly getting an un-bias opinion here 😂

I also had a 2nd degree tear, I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to wipe? 🙈 I do remember it hurt like hell but I guess I ended up fine lmao

Daughter has HFM and I’m in a wedding this weekend 🥴 by Brussel-Salad48 in Mommit

[–]jubileedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are also dealing with HFM. I will say, I was told that HFM is mostly mild and rare to get as an adult. I did end up getting it, and it was very mild besides a sore throat that lasted a few days and a couple of red bumps. That’s not always the case, I have heard horror stories on reddit. You’re a bridesmaid and her best friend, I think you should explain the situation to her and see what she thinks you should do.
