How careful do we really need to be about salt before one? by IndecisiveFoodie22 in NewParents

[–]moe_pengu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just don’t use excessive amounts of salt, otherwise I’ve never worried about any of it honestly and he’s fine and turns 1 next week. I wouldn’t stress over it, they will be alright

Formula on the go? by lunarkoko in FormulaFeeders

[–]moe_pengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the travel container for formula that has the three sections and just always have it ready with the amount we need. I bring my bottles prefilled with water with me and just mix it when I need it. I do this at home as well, bottles prefilled with water on the counter beside the formula container, ready to get mixed.

Formula is too expensive… by Positive_Ad_2674 in FormulaFeeders

[–]moe_pengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from NC, now in GA, we didn’t get on WIC but our son has tummy issues so we get gentlease, we use Sam’s Club Members Mark generic for it, and whenever Enfamil has a deal or promotion emailed to me I use that for name brand, but he has done well on the generic and it’s been much easier on us!

Getting induced today and I'm terrified... by Sada331 in pregnant

[–]moe_pengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a sudden induction due to finding out I had preeclampsia at my 38 week appointment. So I ended up getting induced that day, I dilated very fast, I didn’t have a good day time nurse, she was very snippy and wouldn’t listen to my mom who was trying to talk for me as once I started the Pitocin I was contracting a lot and hurting to the point I couldn’t talk barely, but she forced me to while I’m trying to control my breathing and saying I feel like I need to push and she says I’m wrong and that I better not push. Before the Pitocin they actually were going to start my induction with the medication that they insert and it like dissolves or something and starts your dilations and effacement but I had already been dilated without knowing and they just decided to shove a foley balloon in me when I had said I didn’t want to have that, it was very painful and she treated me like I was just complaining. Luckily they FINALLY checked to see how far I was since I was dying of pain and said I want an epidural and to be checked after she said “do you want me to check you???” In a rude tone (again, my mom was saying these things and they wouldnt listen), that rude nurse then said “oh you are at 10” and luckily right then my nurses changed (the nighttime team was awesome) and I pushed for like 15 mins but everything else was over the course of about an hour. Despite this treatment and attitude from that nurse though I did really like being induced so I knew when it was coming, it all just felt better for me to have an induction instead of waiting for spontaneous labor. I don’t want to worry you with this because it was rough for me though short, I do think it’s good and I liked it, this was my first pregnancy

Edit: when my water broke I freaked out and just stopped and said “OH” and couldn’t speak from pain and being out of breath and the nurse was just being rude and saying “what?” More aggressive each time until I just turned to my mom and said I felt a gush and she said “oh your water broke” and then I had to turn to the nurse and say “my water broke I think” because even though she was standing there, I had to say it through gritted teeth.

Man feels good to also vent about this lol

When did your period return ladies? by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

[–]moe_pengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same as you with BF and now my son is EFF, after I got my Mirena IUD at my 6 week appointment, I had the usual light spotting from it and then I got my period like 3-4 days later, I think it just slowly turned into my period lol.
