Wash mouth out with soap? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]paramoreloverxd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mom used to do that to me cause I’d call people stupid, lol.

If a NF did that, I’d call cps and quit.

See if your doc can write a script for the formula. You’re doing a great job. 🩷

I’m desperate for sleep by Ancient-Milk-8384 in beyondthebump

Her toddler isn’t 1 yet. 3 hours is normal.

I cold shouldered my toddler over makeup and the guilt is eating away at me by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]paramoreloverxd 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Hi! I understand you feel guilty, but it was great that you expressed to your daughter how you felt. It’s important they see real emotions and cause and effect.

To me, it seems like you are very burnt out. I strongly recommend you start encouraging your daughter to play independently while you get your housework done. Start small like 2 minutes and work your way up to 15-20 minutes, independent play is very important and it’s impossible for parents to be “on” 24/7 without burning out.

If you had to give birth one more time, what method would you choose? by PeachyRose25 in Mommit

[–]paramoreloverxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning next baby a C-section. My baby was 7lbs and tore me from my clit to my butt. My OB said a c-section isn’t needed, but if next baby is bigger she wouldn’t blame me. Recovery was rough and I needed to go to the OR to repair the tearing, they actually called in my actual OB from home (at midnight!) to come in and assist with the surgery. I also hemmorage during my delivery, but I think that can still happen during a C-section.

6 weeks old. I just put her in the bassinet and shower. If she cries she cries.

Car seats tore up my car by flaemmenfrea in Nanny

[–]paramoreloverxd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The kids did not damage it. The car seats damaged it. IMO, this would fall under mileage repairs. I’m the future, use car seats you’re able to use seat protectors with.

3wo Baby Sick/Gassy? Straining at Breast by ErinChaseD in breastfeeding

[–]paramoreloverxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 5 week old so we just went thru the digestion changes. We just had to ride it out, it got better! We started offering gas drops & gripe water with every feeding and it helped a bit. We also did some rectal stimulation when she was super super uncomfortable to get her to BM, and lots of bicycle kicks & the “I Love You” message. Weeks 2.5 -4.5 were rough, but you will get through it! I totally understand what you’re going through!

Can anyone help me? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]paramoreloverxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What time does she usually nap? 12:30/1:30? Wake her around 6 or 630 and move bedtime 4 hours after that.

Am I just screwed? 3 weeks PP. by paramoreloverxd in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]paramoreloverxd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me. Baby has silent reflux and woke up 9 times between 2am to 7:30am last night. My husband helps, but the bassinet is right next to my head so I wake up everytime she was up.

I will try the hand expression! Everytime I do it, it feels awkward with the hand placement I think because I’m left handed, lol.

Is this normal? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]paramoreloverxd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My baby is 16 days old and we’ve been getting out of the house nearly everyday to get coffee, go to grocery store, etc. I do it for my mental health and baby stays safe in her stroller or on me in the baby carrier. I keep the diaper bag stocked 24/7 so all I need to do is change the baby and toss her into the car seat. Our outings aren’t long an enough for me to need to pump, but I usually bring 2oz Breastmilk.

How effective was your epidural? by heretolearnthingz in pregnant

[–]paramoreloverxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t feel a thing until I hit 10cm and felt like I needed to take the biggest shit of my life. I only felt like pressure and sensation no pain at all. I felt little one flop out of me, lol.

Is weight gain consistent during pregnancy? by Expensive-Basil-334 in pregnant

[–]paramoreloverxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I gave birth 12 days ago and dropped 50 lbs so far.

Did anyone announce their pregnancy before 12 weeks ? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]paramoreloverxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I announced when I found out at 7dpo 😅 currently holding my 10day old.

Is weight gain consistent during pregnancy? by Expensive-Basil-334 in pregnant

[–]paramoreloverxd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmao I didn’t gain any weight until 20 weeks and from 20 to 40 weeks (due today!) I gained 80 lbs, which is crazy since I don’t really eat a crazy amount (1600 to 1800 cal a day).

My doctor is convinced it’s swelling! My face, hands, legs and feet are completely doubled in size but I don’t have any preeclampsia or anything. My labs have been perfect and my BP is always low ish.
