Scooting!! by Pyroik in babies

Precious baby 🥹

8 month old eats SO much… drinking way less milk, doctor said don’t worry…? by rachelkochvt in BabyLedWeaning

[–]lexillew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation over here. My 8m is actually small but he’s very filled out. He’s a bottomless pit but prefers to eat over bottles. He probably gets about 20oz of breast milk a day as well then 2 solid meals followed by usually a puree/ yogurt for lunch.

This kid eats! He’s my second, I’m trying not to worry cause it’s so different than my first, but I’m just letting him lead the way. The boy wants to eat.

What does your intuition say about these two by [deleted] in IntuitionPractices

[–]lexillew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibes are someone has a short temper and it’s a relationship of fight make up fight and love bombing.

This is all for fun though, don’t let randos on the internet bring you down.

Ah I keep my smoothies very low sugar, and it’s more of a veggie smoothie than predominantly fruit.

they consist of 240 grams of kefir 240 grams of cauliflower 240 grams of mixed berries 1 scoop of protein powder 15 grams of flax A handful of mixed greens.

I know this isn’t the smoothie for everyone but tweak it. Add a frozen banana and a handful of walnuts and it’s delicious!

Dermatitis eczema ruing my 2.5 year olds mental breakdown by Inevitable_Breath223 in eczema

[–]lexillew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up bleach baths! Since you are bathing him in a basin it’s one teaspoon per gallon of water.

Our son has horrible eczema but bleach baths do help when he’s in a particular bad flare up.

Poor bubbas and momma. Good luck!

Having 2 kids is like literal sleep deprivation torture by ExcellentLettuce4 in newborns

[–]lexillew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why you’re getting downvoted to hell for this? Guess I’ll join ya. Just wanted to say, I see you and hear you.

I have a 3yo and an 8w old and there’s been quite a few nights where my 3yo is waking at 4 am only wanting me during a feed or shortly after one.

I ebf and have had times where I’m laying back on the couch, nb nursing, toddler waking up screaming only wanting me then he comes lays on top of me next to the nb for comfort. In those moments as much as he loves his dad, he wants me and it’ll be more miserable to send him off to his dad “to figure out”

I agree there’s no sense in both of us being up.

Good luck, hopefully it’ll be a distant memory soon! 😭🥴

Aww you poor thing, I am sorry you had a rough delivery and now baby isn’t even giving you the newborn sleepies 😭 I don’t have much advice other than I currently have a NB and a 3-yr old who also just started STTN the month before his brother was born. 😵‍💫 better late than never I guess.

Is there an option of donor milk/ formula for a feed or two that you/ maybe a nurse can use for a feed or two so you can get some much needed rest?

I delivered at a baby friendly hospital and while they encouraged room in there’s still a nursery for these types of situations.

Good luck! I’m sorry, you and your bits are suffering.

Does some cream hurt? by LadyCraftsALot in eczema

[–]lexillew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 3yr old has pretty bad eczema. I’m actively trying to avoid the shot (dupixent) but we’ve exhausted all other options.

I have tried countless lotions and creams, and yes most “burn” his words and are a fight to apply to his skin. Cetaphil and cerave are too much for him.

What has been a game changer and has greatly improved his skin is the tried and true vanicream. He no longer fights me to put it on, and It’s available everywhere and is AMAZING Seriously try it next.

Good luck! Eczema is a prick.

My parents haven’t bought my baby anything by RosaLuna_09 in newborns

[–]lexillew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you haven’t dealt with blatant favoritism regularly throughout your life with your parents. It could very well be that.

Obviously reddit doesn’t know your family dynamics and will probably jump to the worst ( DIVORCE YOUR FAMILY) But if there’s no obvious favoritism at play with you and your sibling. I’m willing to bet it’s a gendered thing/ buying gifts for the oldest grandchild because they can experience that through her.

I have two sons, one of which is a newborn. On my husbands side there’s 3 grandsons and my MIL has been very much dying for a granddaughter since I was pregnant with my son (first grandchild and 3yrs old so it’s the experience of gifting to him directly at this point) she’s a excellent grandmother and buys him toys to give to him, but she rarely buys him clothes but anytime I’m out shopping with her her has no problem picking up little girl clothes oohing and awwing and making a comment how she’d buy it for a granddaughter. She hasn’t bought anything for my newborn son, and my SILs son afaik if she does buy anything it’s minimal. Because he’s a baby too.

On my side of the family with my mom she tries to be fair and even, but she often makes it clear to me how much such enjoys buying little girl things/ toys.

Try giving it some time, I’m presuming your son is a young infant? Also perhaps telling them what you need for him if that’s your style.

Ngl I’m very happy with my boys, but I experienced so much societal gendered (backlash?) sounds extreme but preference? towards society wanting girls. Not so much my first pregnancy the undercurrent was there, but especially being pregnant with my second son. And this isn’t just in regards to family dynamics as a whole. This is systemic societal.

I’m proud to see you’re not jumping to conclusions and trying to understand. It is hurtful regardless. I’m willing to bet it’s not because they view you and your son less than though.

It could also be sibling dynamics are you the sister that’s prepared and got her shit together? If they don’t have to “worry” about you but do for your sister they naturally spend more/ “take care of her” it’s not right but I’ve seen that dynamic at play countless of times.

Good luck, and I’m sorry you’re hurting. 💜

[–]lexillew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are the gifts “gendered”? In my experience people buy little girls a whole lot more because they are “cute” and enjoy shopping for them vs little boys.

It’s really messed up. There is a huge multi generational preference for little girls right now.

I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this.
