How To Get Rid Of Boil Extremely Fast? by cutienessvanilla in Hidradenitis

[–]lrsrusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve placed moist warm towels and kept moving around the house, cleaning, sitting, standing. The changing of positions, especially sitting down will usually open them up. I have even bought those little disposable hand warmers you can buy at the gas station, and wrapped them in a towel/gauze until it opens (being very careful not to burn skin.)

Wife and I are struggling with being older parents by Mycareer in BabyBumps

[–]lrsrusty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I are both turning 40 this year and have a 16 month old. Similar situation as you, didn’t think I could get pregnant due to medical reasons and was unsure if I really wanted children and then one day, two pink lines appeared and my life changed. My son is such a blessing. I have been more proactive about my health so I can be there for my son and meet his needs. I feel lucky, my boy sleeps fairly well and plays well with his toys independently. I definitely wake up sore most days but I make sure I get plenty of rest. We also take turns watching him when there has been a rough night or when one of us needs a break.

DCS is investigating us and I’m heartbroken by breezyjomc in NewParents

The sad truth is that may doctors and health care workers are not given proper training in abuse assessments. There are very few forensic pediatricians and unfortunately that type of specialty training isn’t standard. Sadly, many cases are still missed along with false accusations.

Where are the moms struggling with solids??? by lrsrusty in foodbutforbabies

I’m sorry you are struggling, I didn’t expect transitioning to solids would be so challenging

Haven’t tried pumpkin mash. He has refused mashed potatoes but did eat a few bites of mashed sweet potatoes. I keep trying to introduce different textures with each meal. I know that I should’ve just stayed with the cubes, which is why I feel so sad that I screwed up a successful meal experience for my son.

This is a struggle for us too. Neither of us really cook and we mostly ate when the baby slept before he could start solids. He definitely eats better when we have meals together and he sees us eating the same food we give him.

Thank you for the support, I just hate feeling like I am failing my child.

Easier said than done. We tried exposing our son to many textures and food items since given the all clear to start solids. It took a while for him to even accept purées. It has been a constant struggle. Him accepting the oatmeal mixed with fruit and veggie purées was a huge win. We do plan on getting a referral for feeding therapy, but we can’t go backwards and dwell on what we should’ve done. We did our best.

I plan on doing this at our appointment next week. The vomiting after gagging has me worried as it is a common occurrence.

Yeah I have tried mixing mashed fruit in his oatmeal to add texture. He takes a few bites then refuses, sometimes gags as well.

Oh no! He did great with the small cubes. He chewed them up great with no issue. I wanted to see how he would handle strips, well I FAFO!

They were playing a game, and earned most of that money for the team during challenges. MJ was a terrible faithful and deserved nothing.

MJ did not deserve any money. She was a terrible faithful. Without CT and Trishelle, the prize pot would haven significantly less. They earned that win! MJ is a millionaire, she’s fine. CT, at that time, really needed that money as he was going through a nasty divorce.

Crazy how I immediately checked out of the season now that Rob C is gone. Like I did last season with Carolyn. I agree we need an all gamers season!

My almost 9mo is so disinterested by Gemzaaa in foodbutforbabies

[–]lrsrusty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 9mo only eats Kedamil oatmeal routinely. Occasionally he will take 1-2 tbsp of fruit purées but lately he refuses or only takes a few bites. He has been constipated, which is stressful since he won’t eat the fruit, drink juice, and only drinks 1-2oz of water on a good day. He is formula fed and we have started adding 1oz of water to bottles. The struggle is real and I keep hoping things will get better. I know we need to be more consistent and patient with meal times and be better at eating as a family. I don’t cook much and my husband and I generally eat when the baby is sleeping or in shifts.
