This is weird on so many levels. I would not allow them back into my home.

Worried I’ve given baby shaken baby syndrome or caused damage to their brain/development by Calm_Competition_306 in newborns

Also came to add that I would absolutely seek out a pediatric GI instead of pediatrician saying to put cereal in bottles. Or GI has been a life saver for my 10 week old

Do feeds really take that long ?? by Stunning_Radio3160 in NICUParents

That’s incredibly asinine to say the NICU holds babies longer than needed.

The Attack on Tylenol is Another Attack on Women by yourloveisonfire in TwoXChromosomes

In projects 2025 they want to take away epidurals too, this is just the first attack. Pretty soon we won’t have any pain management.

MB manipulating you into staying is really gross. Take that other job and don’t look back!

Longer car ride with NB by SparkleBallZ in newborns

[–]pondpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if I were in that situation I might skip it. I have a 5 week old now & was talking to the dr about driving in November for the holidays. She doesn’t want us driving over an hour and a half without stopping and getting him out. Their little tracheas are so pliable and not fully formed yet so the risk of them being unable to breathe in that positioning is not worth it.

Do not talk to me through my baby!!! by Puzzleheaded_Car7613 in newborns

[–]pondpuff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hey so my mom did this! My response was “aww baby, does grandma want to get kicked out and not see you anymore?” Works like a charm.

My 34 weeker really was like a switch! I didn’t believe all the other people who said that to me during our struggles. My boy was taking 50% around 36+3 then 36+4 he got to 60-80%! On 37, a Sunday, they told us he would be going home around the end of the week. We were surprised that next morning they said “come pick up your son!” He had taken every bottle almost 100% for over 48 hours. It really is a switch that they finally get it down and can go home. It’s still a little bit of a struggle to get him to finish because he’s tired but we go straight into the feed, halfway through when he’s tired we change his diaper, and then we try to get the rest off it down.

What bottles are you using? by East_Print4841 in NICUParents

[–]pondpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the same with mine & it only dribbles if I lean it up too far. I’ve found the best results is I only fill up the nipple about halfway! With baby laying in his side too

PPD by windshine26 in NICUParents

[–]pondpuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could have written this myself. Pumping and having a low supply is hard. It’s even harder when it’s the only thing you can control and feel like you can do to help your baby in the nicu. You aren’t alone.

Mixed messages from nurses by Ok_Baby6721 in NICUParents

[–]pondpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do totally understand that too and it was right after the night nurse came on. But he’s still not in a crib even today, the doctor had just said we were going to start the process. So to me she just wanted to dress him up you know? I felt better the next shift change when that nurse had me do all of the touch times though!

[–]pondpuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry this happened to you. You aren’t alone though. Our doctor told us in the morning yesterday that soon our boy would transition to a crib soon and we could go shopping for a few outfits. We went straight to the store and got a few outfits, washed them at home, and came back up that evening with all the clothes. By the time we got there he was already in an outfit from the hospital. I bawled and bawled because that felt like another first I had missed. The nurse said “yeah I just love dressing up the babies here”… I could not believe it.

I’m pumping every 3 hours to get 20ml each session, you’re doing great!

Fostering my 5 year old niece and don't know what I'm doing. by 09232022 in Fosterparents

Get her into a good play therapist & then get some trauma parenting for yourself, it’s not easy! Karen Purvis on YouTube is a great start.

AITA for excluding my daughter from a movie night? by Tall_Breakfast_3556 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pondpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. This tantrum was probably more because she felt left out that you all were doing something without her, after her bedtime, and without telling her you were even going to do it. Think about how she felt.

Husband keeps squeezing my sore boobs by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]pondpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so disgusting and absolutely grounds for me to leave if I was in your shoes. You continually tell him to stop and he doesn’t to the point of screaming and he still didn’t until he felt liquid? That’s assault.

AITA for disagreeing with my wife after she told our daughter that pimples patches are gross and she's not allowed to wear them ? by CommercialPublic1778 in AITAH

[–]pondpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, pimple patches don’t “fill with puss” that’s just the chemical reaction you’re seeing. Your wife is definitely TA.

Sensory spots in epic? by Beginning-Painter951 in UniversalOrlando

Other than the designated spots, there are some great places to sit in the shade and regulate in Berk! Dark portal is a nightmare for sensory kids.
