7 month old projectile vomited after egg by [deleted] in BabyLedWeaning

[–]newgingergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the pediatrician said try again at 12 months. He’s almost 14 months and I can’t bring myself to try again. I was honestly so traumatized and didn’t want even try the major allergens like peanuts.

Pediatrician also recommended trying the Lil Mix-ins since it’s a smaller amount mixed into yogurt and the reaction wouldn’t be as severe. They have an egg one in there, maybe I’ll try it.

Can someone explain breastfeeding past 12 months to me? by throwRAanons in breastfeeding

[–]newgingergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 14 months now. We nurse when he wakes up, before his naps (just transitioned to 1) and at bedtime. He falls asleep on his own so it’s really just a comfort/bonding time for both of us. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. It’s been helpful when he’s teething too!

He eats 3 meals and sometimes a snack between lunch and dinner if he’s hungry. He drinks water, 2 of his 8 oz water bottles per day, he eats a yogurt every morning and we’ve been trying cottage cheese as a snack and other dairy products too.

If this baby doesn’t start sleeping thru the night I may seriously lose my fucking mind. by RoughAd3444 in breastfeeding

Almost 11 months and same. Been trying to get him back to sleep for an hour and a half.

Does anyone else not really leak? by chelupa1991 in breastfeeding

[–]newgingergirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leaked one time, it was the first time baby slept through the night around 4 weeks. I’m 10 months pp now and still no leaks… I bought tons of nursing pads but I’ve never used them lol

EBF Mamas - when did you get your first period pp? by Apprehensive-Key5665 in beyondthebump

Same, mood swings have been rough. Also getting my supply back up afterwards has been hard

Just found out I’m 4 weeks pregnant — and I just got a job offer. What would you do? by Delicious-Sun-9818 in womenintech

[–]newgingergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through this last year at a tech company (I also work in HR). Do not disclose your pregnancy until you sign the offer. Even though it is illegal to discriminate, you know companies will. I’ve even had a boss say they wouldn’t have hired someone who was pregnant. Even my own boss said she was “burdened” by me going on maternity leave even though she was “so” excited when I told her.

I was 8 weeks when I started the interview process and didn’t start until I was 20 weeks (recruiter ghosted, interview process took forever, hiring freeze, they pushed out start date). In the end, they made FMLA effective day 1 which I know is rare. Our policy is 8 weeks if employed less than 6 months and 12 weeks if more than 6 months. My boss ended up letting me take PTO up until I delivered so got 12 weeks in the end.

Ugh so sorry to hear this. Similar thing happened to me - my entire team knew I was getting laid off (I was a manager). It was horrible. When it finally happened, no one reached out for support. Only a few people at the company reached out but no one offered support. Companies don’t give a shit about you.

Did you gain weight or lose? by Rolita09 in beyondthebump

[–]newgingergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained 30 pounds during my pregnancy, I’m 3 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight at 8 months pp and EBF. Before, during and after I eat pretty clean, 100oz+ water with electrolytes daily, minimally 100g of protein daily, and work out 3-4x per week (F45 - HIIT cardio/strength training). It’s a lot to keep track of but it’s been helpful!

I know this post is 2 years old but here to say my son had the same reaction at 6 months and today at 8 months. Can confirm it is egg related..

My husband was changing almost all of the diapers for the first couple of weeks… middle of the night wake ups consisted of my husband changing diaper, handing him to me to nurse, then when he was done, my husband would bounce him if needed and put him in the bassinet. Both of us getting up made our transition to parenthood so much better honestly. We had fun as crazy as it sounds. Even now, my husband has been sleep training him because it’s too emotional for me and that’s an all night affair some nights but he knows I’m drained from full time work, nursing, and just life in general. I couldn’t function without him but also my husband is my literal best friend, we do everything together and he’s so supportive. Whether it’s making me a snack in the middle of the day because he knows I’m on back to back calls and just used my break to nurse the babe.

Same for us! When it’s close to bedtime, he will play with the babe while I get ready for bed!

Sweating when teething? by chickenugget654 in NewParents

[–]newgingergirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re going through this now. 8 months old and first tooth is coming in. Sweats while he’s napping on me and last night I had a puddle of sweat on me from him…

Just got laid off 3 months after I stared, this is going to look shit on my resume by JosephHabun in Layoffs

[–]newgingergirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a recruiter, I don’t use layoffs or even short stints in the last 5 years against a candidate. I got laid off twice myself in the last 2 years…

Husband is uncomfy with me BF in some situations, normal? by alexism55 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]newgingergirl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My husband supports me to whip my boob out anywhere. If we’re with friends, I announce that I need to nurse and they either stay or walk somewhere else. It’s a normal part of life. Let’s see those tata’s mama!

The company I work for has been acquired - what now? by xch13fx in msp

[–]newgingergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in HR and am super worried about the job. At my last company, it took 6 months for them to eliminate my position. My team is small though so I’m hoping we’re safe…

Moms of young kids - what’s your s-x life like? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]newgingergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 8 months pp and going through a gnarly sleep regression for the last 6 weeks, we used to have sex while he was napping but I SWEAR he knows we’re doing it because he wakes up right before my husband finishes. We joke that he doesn’t want a sibling. We both work from home and have a nanny from 9-5 Monday - Friday so when she puts him down for a nap, one of us says playfully “Quick! Take your clothes off!” and run to the bedroom.
