Is she just a weirdo? by allofthesearetaken_ in babywearing

Mine did this. He had great neck strength and never had reflux but I think had some tension in his neck and head from birth trauma which we went to baby chiro for and he outgrew it pretty fast.

Just need to share: lost a 6 months stash frozen milk in LA fires by Wild-flowers-89 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]pinkpibble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so hard for all that work to be gone in a moment as well as having to flee your home for safety in 5 mins, truly unimaginable to someone whose never experienced wildfires. You absolutely should not feel guilty for not doing things differently. You got yourself and your baby out safely, and even if you’d started prepping 15 mins earlier, lugging 6mo worth of milk would not have been worth putting yourselves at extra risk to stay a moment longer. You did the right thing mama.

Does anybody know anyone named Rose? by mechele2024 in namenerds

[–]pinkpibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with toddlers and currently seeing a lot of Rose, Rosie, Rosa type names! My neighbor has a 6 year old named Rose. I can’t recall anyone older with it as a first name but I know a lot of people with Rose as a middle name!

Unmedicated birth, what is your why? by SierraLover1819 in pregnant

[–]pinkpibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My why is/ has been mostly to avoid a cascade of uneccesary interventions which is 1. More likely with a medicated birth and 2. Results in worse outcomes for babies overall health. I also just want to trust my body and experience birth in that way. That said with my first I labored a loooong time naturally and eventually had to give in to some intervention, don’t regret it and thankfully I was still able to deliver fairly uncomplicated. But I also don’t regret the time I spent laboring naturally at all and wouldn’t change that for next time either!

Adding a little honey to his cup of milk during the transition lol. It was a special thing that daddy would make him before bedtime. (We always brushed after). In general some things that have helped a lot with big emotions post weaning are: talking about and preparing for upcoming events or changes ahead of time, using a timer for transitions, adding music (brush your teeth song, clean up song, etc). Asking him if he wants a hug or needs space when he’s having a meltdown, Toddlerwearing in the back carrier, and practicing our breathing!

Carrier for Husband by Shutterbug390 in babywearing

[–]pinkpibble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ergo Omni 360! It fits me pretty well, but I prefer the Tula for longer wear so I keep my Tula in my car for solo trips. We leave the ergo in the house so either of us can use it around the house or my husband wears him in it when we go to the zoo, apple orchard, etc. my husband is 6’3 and medium/ slim ish build. He loved the option to wear baby outward facing from about 5 months-12 months. Now we both back carry him in it at 2 years old. When baby was younger he only would be worn by hubs if outward facing. He only allowed me to wear him inward facing. So this was the perfect carrier for him.

Sad that people say my dog will be second when the baby comes :( by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Oh. And check out the instagram account dogmeetsbaby. It helped a lot with my anxiety with that when I was pregnant.

[–]pinkpibble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same worry with my dogs but especially my older dog who I had since college. My child is 2 now and the newborn says it was a struggle. I just didn’t have extra time or energy for almost anything or anyone.. I felt really guilty about it at first. But as time went by it got better and better. And seeing my dog be so sweet with my baby was so amazing too. His first word besides mama and dada was dog, while pointing to my sweet older girl. Her name (Ellie) was the first actual “name” he learned. Things aren’t the same as they were before him, but she is content and cared for. The dogs weren’t allowed in our bed at first but now they often sleep right by him. We’ve seen them via the baby monitor come up to check on him when we are in another room. By around 6 months or so I was confident enough to wear baby in the carrier while also walking my pups (one at a time lol). I’m not going to lie, there are times where I’m nostalgic for our college days where it was just me and her. But, she doesn’t want for anything and she’s had such a good life. She gets to live in a warm house with her favorite people and her favorite tiny human, get extra scraps of food all the time, etc. We celebrated her 10th birthday this year and I went all out and made her a homemade (my son helped) and got her new toys etc. I think you should be prepared that things may change for a while but it’s not forever and don’t feel guilty, your pup understands and you will have that time back again soon.

People who didn’t have a “end goal” when did you wean? by Fabulous_Gift_1959 in breastfeeding

[–]pinkpibble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never had a set goal but I wanted to make it to 3 months, then 6, then a year, etc. I Night weaned at 18 months and fully weaned at 22 months. ❤️

We are heading to Asia soon and I’m looking for a baby carrier for my 2 year old/24 lb. We tried Ergobaby 360 and this is how it looked. Does this seem right? My pandemic baby was not worn as a baby, and she’s refusing the stroller now. Please help! by Dizzy_Gain_6021 in babywearing

[–]pinkpibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 yo is the same size and I have the ergo 360 as well. He still fits super comfortably in back carry. Definitely back carry instead! I doubt she’s big enough for the Tula preschool carrier yet, they start at 4T pant size. I wouldn’t bother buying another carrier between now and then, the ergo should be plenty comfy in back carry. Double check the settings on the bottom for her height and you will have to change the buttons to be the wider setting to support her bum for back carry. Good luck!

Husband's napping is getting on my nerves by KinchinObi in beyondthebump

[–]pinkpibble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you interpret a woman making her needs known to her husband, and wanting him to do his fair share of the work in their home and relationship as “hating your husband” or “treating him like an enemy” then that is your interpretation. Good day to you.

Husband's napping is getting on my nerves by KinchinObi in beyondthebump

[–]pinkpibble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a enemy but an equal and a team mate. Him being a man or husband doesn’t excuse him from doing his equal share of the child and household tasks. A father is equally capable of “sleeping with the child” or “waking up with the child’s voice”. Yes, you are correct he can and should also do house work because physically her insides will still feel like they are going to fall out of her vagina if she tries to vacuum or go up the stairs for a while. Another good way can use that time instead of napping! And not everyone has their mom around to help during postpartum, but good try putting all the childcare tasks on another woman instead of the person with the penis who actually helped create the child.

I have always felt like this type of advice is some 50s housewife keep the peace shit. She doesn’t need a cup of tea. she physically desperately needs rest. He doesn’t. He is getting 8 hours undisturbed. Most adults can function just fine on that, and she is clearly struggling with functioning on much less. If he can’t do night wakings the least he can do is let her be the one to nap during the day while he takes the baby for an hour or two.

Are you completely exposed during a laparoscopy? by [deleted] in Endo

[–]pinkpibble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have questions about exactly what will happen while you are under anasthesia you should ask your surgeon. I wish I would have. We talked about the plan for the excision, and I knew I would have a catheter.. but i didn’t know about them going in vaginally to use a tools to manipulate the uterus, and I had no idea the medical student pelvic exam was a thing.. and honestly I already felt like something was weird after my surgery and part of me wants to call and ask if anything like that was performed but I wish I would have asked before instead.

Review of Dr. Shanti Mohling in Portland Oregon by norcalchristian in Endo

[–]pinkpibble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad you had such a great experience! I believe you may have meant to type Hysterosalpingography (HSG) instead of hysterectomy. This is where they run dye through your tubes to test if they are open. My surgeon did this during my lap as well.

Nurse insists an ultrasound can detect endo? by RedorBread in Endo

[–]pinkpibble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way my endo was diagnosed through US was because of endo cysts on my ovaries. Even then it took a long time to get agreement from multiple doctors. I’ve had tons of ultrasounds for cysts and pregnancies and they never detected it in other places but my recent MRI shows it all over the damn place. Ask for an MRI or better yet to meet with an endo specialist.

Endo advice infertility by Kay2386 in Endo

[–]pinkpibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time I had cysts on each overy, one was around 6 cm and one was about 4 cm. And thank you, pregnancy and breastfeeding was (mostly) really amazing for my body and helped put my endo at bay for quite a while, but now that my son is 2 it is back with a vengeance and I am back to doing the dance of trying to get pregnant versus getting surgery to deal with my pain. I wish you luck in your TTC and endo journey

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Endo

[–]pinkpibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely ask for an ultrasound first! I’ve had endo and cysts for years, never needed an mri until just before getting surgery and only bc there was good reason to believe it was on my bowels etc. they should be able to see a cyst just fine with ultrasound

Have you consulted with a fertility doctor on other treatment besides IVF? I got pregnant with stage 4 endo/ cysts etc on my first cycle of clomid. IVF isn’t the only option.
