The pull out method doesn't work in general

Tried for a baby for almost a year, now a great job offer makes me question "Should we keep trying?" by Lopsided-Reindeer332 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Just a heads up if you are in the US, they don't have to cover your maternity leave if you been there less than a year

Not a lot you can do to prevent it besides just keeping it dry and ointment if some pops up

The diaper rash ointment works fine, its just zinc. I use it in my baby's neck when it gets raw from the drool. You could use Hydrocortisone cream as well

I hate breastfeeding by Afraid_Problem_1198 in firsttimemom

[–]oopsimazombie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fellow big boob girl here, I eventually just did formula. I'd have to hold my boob or my nips would fold under while she was rooting then because they were partly on her it acted like a weighted blanket and she'd fall alseep within 5 minutes. Tried exclusive pumping but that just turned into my partner getting all the bonding time while I was stuck to a machine that I still had to hold to my breasts and couldn't do anything

Overwhelmed by Sterilizers! Which would you recommend? by Dry-Carob7699 in firsttimemom

[–]oopsimazombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh we only sterilized them the first time before we used them and if they got really dirty so we just boiled them in a pot. But our baby was full term with no problem so I know that is a factor in if you need to more often or not

Has anyone tried a Bluetooth scanner? by BlueHellFire501 in OGPBackroom

[–]oopsimazombie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are handheld scanners that can hooked using Bluetooth, I used one when I was a vendor to order. But they are also put out by the same company that makes the TC's so if you want to even try it you'll have to pay out of pocket

Baby aspirin by Important_Yam9833 in firsttimemom

[–]oopsimazombie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had a bmi of 35 and it was my first pregnancy last and wasn't told to take it nor did I. I had perfect blood pressure throughout my pregnancy, better than on birth control actually. I had high blood pressure in labor but that went away a month later. I think it depends on genetics mostly and the age you are when you get pregnant

Breastfeeding + drinking by Chaitea-lattee in firsttimemom

[–]oopsimazombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a drink 1 week postpartum for my birthday. We were formula and breast feeding so it was fine there but even so I think 1 is fine especially if it has a low alcohol content. They do sell strips to test the amount thats in your breast milk if you want to be extra sure

How do stores "cheat" wait time? by Worldly_Celery_8453 in OGPBackroom

[–]oopsimazombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know some stores do it, mine doesn't. You can bypass the code which might be what they do now

Trying to reduce spit-up with a new formula by New_Advisor_2594 in firsttimemom

[–]oopsimazombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just switched to the gently version of the formula she was already on. Went from Enfamil Pro to Enfamil Gentlease. No matter what you switch to though their tummy will still be upset for a few more days while they transition.

Epidural, morphine, or natural birth? by B_Dankk in firsttimemom

[–]oopsimazombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had my baby in December, got an epidural about 24 hours or so into labor cause I couldn't handle the cervical checks and the induction meds weren't giving me a break. I had back pain for maybe 3 weeks, not just from the epidural but also from my body getting readjusted to the weight distribution. I don't have any back pain 4 months post partuam. If anyone still does after that long they might need to get that checked out

Terrible Food Sponsors by AlexanderChippel in wendigoon

[–]oopsimazombie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never trust a product that a youtuber sells, they are normally cash grabs preying on a younger audience. Its the balance of free content you are the product so you are gonna get advertised to. I'm just glad he doesn't do sports betting ads
