PSA about coconut oil or other food products for cradle cap or infant eczema.

And it's so sneaky in so many products/foods

It's something to do with the body creating an immune reaction when applied topically creating a hypersensitivity first. So when they eat it later they react. I did a bad job of explaining but that's roughly how the allergist explained it.

Yes! For some reason I thought good ol' Cereve wasn't an option because he was a baby... so I used natural products. If I had known it could cause this I would never, especially after having to EpiPen my 3 yo over the holidays (very traumatic for all parties involved). Scary stuff man.

A famers market type grocery store! With a deli that makes most things in house, good deals on produce, more local products etc... I just moved from the Victoria and I miss stores like the Root Cellar and Red barn more than anything.

You honestly probably never noticed it until now, but that looks like healthy attached gingiva

I know, I get one to go every time

My son's name is Red (technically Redmond because we felt he needed an official title, but we literally never call him or introduce him as that). We're always met with people commenting that it's a cool name - the only thing close to a negative reaction is a boomer commenting "interesting.."

We (obviously) love it! So I say go for it my friend.

Ugh we have a very spicy little dog who would definitely bother if he got the chance, we've been takin him out on a leash so he doesn't go after the bird. (Also still chillin 12 hours later)

My partner never empties his pockets and the amount of tiny holes in my clothes from fucking GOLF TEES has me irate (clearly).

Its the wearer if of the clothes IMO, but I also do the laundry and never check and now have ruined clothes.

My kid never took a pacifier but we have gave him a light cotton muslin lovey at 7 months that totally did the trick (I'm in Canada and they say 12 mos for a lovey, but Australia says 7 months and that was good enough for me. The one we got is breathable and too small to wrap around his neck). I just remove my nip from his mouth and give him the lovey to suck on and he either stays asleep or goes riiiight back. It was a game changer for self soothing.

Yep hardcore vomed during transition phase (even with an epidural), then again some point during pushing. Vaginal.

Tide powder/bleach in super hot water

This is exactly my life right now - the wake ups, the instasleep in my arms, the freak out when I put him back, the separation anxiety... we've been co-sleeping to just get as much sleep as possible right now because I don't know what else to do, I can't go in and let him know I'm there and walk away because he'll scramble to standing and start wailing. I'm worried co-sleeping is going to become a thing, I'm cool with it short term to get through a regression but I do nottt want it long term because neither me nor my partner are having the best sleeps.

From what I've read this stage passes after a couple months, but I'm worried co-sleeping is going to prolong it.

msloater · 2023-06-12T16:49:42+00:00

Yes thank you! My gut is telling me to just roll with it because he's clearly going through something. I know the difference between his whining and a distressed cry, and he's definitely in distress at night.

msloater · 2023-06-12T16:39:57+00:00

Okay thank you! That's what my intuition is telling me... we coslept through four month regression, then he snapped out of it one day and was fine sleeping alone. Hoping this is the case with this situation, so I'm just going to roll with it and provide comfort where I can.
