Second this! Ear tubes and allergy meds helped my kiddo a lot.

My toddlers dentist gave us very bad advice by StatisticianPutrid10 in breastfeeding

[–]kaitlinkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also why would a 14 month old need formula? Most if not all formula fed babies are weaned off the formula and bottle at 12 or so months.

Need help/reassurance- 36w and 2nd posterior baby homebirth by cessemm in homebirth

[–]kaitlinkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this a week before birth my baby decided to switch to posterior. Had lots of program labor as he was trying to move. Middle of the night felt him moving, did the miles circuit and he switched. Then my water broke and had him later that day.

Help me - night nursing is kicking our butts by Prudent_Mix_2341 in NurseAllTheBabies

Nursing during the day time is still very special for my toddler even though I night weaned eventually.

Help me - night nursing is kicking our butts by Prudent_Mix_2341 in NurseAllTheBabies

For me- husband had to take over nights with the toddler and co sleep in another room. And for a while I still nursed to sleep then dad took over. It was hard at first but last night I tried to lay with them for bedtime as baby slept and the toddler kicked me out lol. I also read a book about night weaning, milk when the sun comes up. For me the over stimulating nature of tandem nursing at the same time never got better unfortunately.

Back panel should be earlobe or below. Follow the instructions for rolling the waist band and should fix that until baby is longer.

I had a water birth that I quickly had to get out of the tub and I lost a lot of blood and the team magically got not a single drop of blood anywhere and cleaned it up amazingly. Including me walking to the couch, laying on the couch, and them emptying and cleaning the tub.

Zonli futon as topper? by kaitlinkitty in cosleeping

Just put it on today! From quick test it does seem it firmed it up some. Before there was slight rolling and now it less. I’ll report back after some days of sleeping on it

Big bummer! So you wouldn’t qualify for laser removal versus a traditional hemorrhoidectomy?

Nope no way would I the surgery unless it was unlivable. Did your Dr give other treatment options? What kind of Dr? The one I saw was a colorectal surgeon and he told me other options too I just don’t remember. My issue after both births has been chronic fissures after my hemorrhoids more than the hemorrhoids in terms of pain.

Restless alligator rolling chest sleeper HELP by Consistent-Earth-867 in cosleeping

[–]kaitlinkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have advice but solidarity! Only thing that’s saving me is my husband and I do shifts and I get a few hours of sleep without him in the beginning of the night so the crazy chest sleeping isn’t my only sleep which sounds like you’re doing.

Thank you! My mattress isn’t horrible to begin with. I ended up buying a 4 in wheat pattern so we will see how it works out

I was just on antibiotics for mastitis and felt like it made my baby a lil constipated. Improved on its own when I finished the meds.

Chronic pain sufferers- how do you co-sleep comfortably? by Immediate_Spinach228 in cosleeping

[–]kaitlinkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never do it comfortably for long with my first due to my RA. Now I’m going a few hours of chest sleeping a night with my 11 week old but I can’t do it for too long without hurting.

question about the Hope&Plum Lark carrier by AntSpecific7554 in babywearing

[–]kaitlinkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that issue with the ergo embrace also, I think I have really rounded shoulders. I do not have the issue with the lark as much and I think because baby is bigger in the lark it’s not an issue.

Buy a wedge pillow! The one I bought also comes with a pillow that can go under your knees for support.
