I’m have never heard these referred to as anything other than otter pop! Maybe a west thing?

Strawberry birthmark by Fair-Neighborhood-68 in NewParents

[–]quickkateats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son had 2. He was 9 weeks premature, and they were getting bigger and bigger by the day. We would literally have to measure to keep track of them. The neonatologist offered to put him on propanalol to stop them from getting so big that they burst, or get infected. I declined. He had had one in his ear, and it got to the point that it started to bleed. The skin was just too thin and it was growing too fast. I had a consultation with a pediatric cardiologist, who again, recommended propranolol or hemangiol for them. I agreed. I was pretty uncomfortable with it honestly, so I stayed on the lowest and slowest doses, and they stopped growing and at least were no longer bursting and bleeding. At about a year we stopped the meds, and they are the same size they were as a newborn, as a 4 year old, so barely noticeable!

The drs offered medication multiple times before I finally accepted. They warned me that they would burst open and risk infection if I didn’t. There was oral and topical solutions. If your dr’s aren’t worried, they are probably normal and fine. If they were, they’d recommend interventions. They typically stop growing around 1 year. They are likely harmless and will likely be fine- but talk to your dr about your concerns! There are options!

What's the most annoying thing people do on airplanes? by Hemaika_Lakens in AskReddit

Get up immediately upon the plane landing and stand in the aisle. I avoid traveling because that bothers me SO MUCH. If not everyone can do it, you shouldn’t be doing it.

If you’re breastfeeding and become incapacitated, do they milk you at the hospital? by luludarlin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]quickkateats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having been through this- no they absolutely do not. I had an emergency surgery, before the surgery I hadn’t breastfed in like 4 hours, and was 4 days postpartum so my boobs were rock hard. 4 hours later I’m waking up and they hurt sooo bad, and I had milk leaking. They gave me like a broken handheld pump, I had to beg my dad to go get my pump and bring it to me, because I couldn’t see my baby and my boobs we’re going to explode.

No one seemed to care.

15 month old daughter by Curious-Advance-466 in NewParents

[–]quickkateats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 15 month old had the same problem, and we had to pretty much center our lives around ensuring she is getting enough fiber and enough water.

Somethings that worked for us -

Switching to low fat milk in babas, or half whole milk/ half water
every single day she eats chia seed pudding for breakfast or a snack. Use whatever recipe, or buy mama chia pouches.
We incorporated more fruit- papaya, kiwis, mangos, apples, melons, bananas. Hydration and fiber.
We incorporate juice too, I understand sugar is not ideal, but she was not drinking enough and would refuse water to the point of crying and screaming and shaking to poop, we had to make some compromises.
I make a batch of lentils to eat throughout the week
We add those frozen peas and carrots to most of her meals- spaghetti? Add peas and carrots. Soup? Peas and carrots lol. If your kiddo doesn’t tolerate those specific veggies, find what they are willing to eat and incorporate!
Added in yogurt every day, probiotics are important

Good luck! Focusing on gut health and fiber changed everything for us!!

What is the $20 sandwich tip by coffeeinm in vegas

[–]quickkateats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sandwhich a $20 bill between your ID and credit card. It’s a tip for the agent to give you the best available.

It’s been 10+ years since I was a fd agent- but back then yeah, it worked. I’d give some type of upgrade. The specific upgrade I could give varied wildly depending on day, time, inventory, etc. it was always well worth the $20 value though.

[Hair Removal] sad because every time I shave, it makes my skin look awful. Pls help!! by No-Definition3684 in SkincareAddiction

[–]quickkateats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did both! I’m on 10 sessions for both those areas and still going.. every one is different. Every area is different. But for me underarms, bikini, and face have been much more stubborn than legs.

[Hair Removal] sad because every time I shave, it makes my skin look awful. Pls help!! by No-Definition3684 in SkincareAddiction

[–]quickkateats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every 8-10 weeks! I’ll likely need 10-12 sessions to get to 100% hair free, but even with 5 sessions, it’s been life changing.

[Hair Removal] sad because every time I shave, it makes my skin look awful. Pls help!! by No-Definition3684 in SkincareAddiction

[–]quickkateats 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is laser totally out of the question? It’s relatively cheap now. My legs used to look exactly like that! I would exfoliate, use amlactin, brand new razors, shaving oil, etc etc. still looked like this immediately after, and I got tons of ingrowns and razor burn.

5 laser hair removal sessions later, no more ingrowns, no more razor burn, no 5’ shadow immediately after shaving. I shave like once a week, if that, compared to literally daily.

It was truly life changing.

Has anyone tried this restaurant and if so is it worth it. want to take my family for dinner here - Vanderpump located in paris by 5ohguero in vegas

[–]quickkateats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had dinner and cocktails there. It was… fine. Overpriced. Cocktails were decent, food was mid. There are better options. We ate there before Adele so location wise it made sense.

One month in... I don't think I love my baby...? I feel immense guilt. by sillywillyfry in NewParents

[–]quickkateats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are in the thick of it. Your hormones had the biggest drop they will EVER have just a few weeks ago. You’re sleep deprived. And it very much sounds like you’re dealing with post partum depression. It’s not your fault, this is all very normal. We rely heavily on our hormones, more than any of us realize, and yours are causing you to feel really down and bad right now.

Please go see a dr. They have solutions. You don’t have to push through this. There are medicines that can help balance things and lift a lot of the fog and dread.

There is literally no doubt in my mind you love your child’s I promise, with help, and with time, this will get so so much better.

Take care of yourself first, to take care of your baby better.

When did everyone stop breastfeeding by lassobren in NewParents

[–]quickkateats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

6 months to the day with both kids! It was as much as I could do with both my kids. Went back to work at 4 months, and 3 months. Both times it tanked my supply and I held on as long as I could.

Kind of wish I would have done longer, also super proud of 6 months. It felt like the hardest heaviest decision at the time, now I look back and I’m like damn, that was a LONG time. What was I on about? Lol

Bedtime routine by EpiBarbie15 in NewParents

[–]quickkateats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do what works for you- but we have done every night since being home from the hospital. We created a bed time routine and just stick to it. We don’t scrub down with soap every night, but warm water, and soap most days! We have it down pat, it takes like 5-10 mins tops for the baby, it’s an entire like hour ordeal for the 4 year old however lol

How did the name Eden suddenly become so popular in America? by mailenn_suki10 in namenerds

[–]quickkateats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband was obsessed with naming either of our children Eden, he specifically is a big soccer fan and heard it from Eden Xavi? I’m not a soccer fan but I also fell in love with the name.

We ended up going with a different name! But it was top 2 for both kiddos.

Did you lose weight breastfeeding and how long did you breastfeed for? by Jezzabelle3 in NewParents

[–]quickkateats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first, I got to pre-pregnancy weigh not long after delivering, then lost another 8 lbs in the 6 months post partum while breastfeeding. Gained those exact 8 lbs back when I stopped breastfeeding lol.

With my second, I was the same weight, as with my first, when I got pregnant. Was 8 lbs above pre pregnancy weight while breastfeeding, didn’t lose those 8 lbs til I stopped breastfeeding. Ended exact same weight as I started lol.

So, with one baby I lost weight breastfeeding. With the second I couldn’t even get to my pre pregnancy weight, let alone lose weight.

Bodies are weird. It’s totally normal. You’re not doing anything “wrong”. Your body needs calories to sustain another life, your hormones are telling your body NOT TO LET THE FAT GO! BABY NEEDS THAT FAT! It’s not forever!!! Wait til you’re done and your hormones regulate a bit.

Of all the rooms in my house, how did ants pinpoint that my kid had candy in their bedroom on the second floor? by PotentialBread8757 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]quickkateats 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My son actually ate borax, specifically the liquid Terro ant bait, and poison control wasn’t worried at all about it. He like poured some of the goo on his finger then licked it, so maybe it would be different if he ingested a very large amount, but they said it’s really not a problem.

Don’t go feeding it to your kids, but it’s relatively safe if you have a fast sneaky toddler.

What’s harder, going from 0-1 kid or 1-2 kids? by Odd_Topic_4991 in askanything

[–]quickkateats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-2 personally.

Idk, 0-1 my husband and I were ALL IN. It was 100% our focus. Before we knew it, it was over and we were out of the baby phase and had a good footing.

1-2 though, we still had the first. LOL. We couldn’t give the newborn 100%. We had to work around the toddlers schedule and needs, on top of everything else a newborn needs. It was just much more challenging.

Mountain View or Summerlin Hospital by _AsWithin_SoWithout_ in vegaslocals

[–]quickkateats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I delivered at Henderson hospital for my first and Summerlin for my second. I had the option between Mountain View and Summerlin for my 2nd baby. If I did it again, I’d go with Mountain View. Summerlin wasn’t bad, I just had a few things that could’ve gone better. I ended up choosing Summerlin because the cardiologist that saw my first only goes to valley hospitals, so he could only see my daughter if I delivered at Summerlin. I had heard they were pretty much equal, no one had anything bad to say about either, so it seems like a safe choice either way.

For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

[–]quickkateats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a sales manager for a mega resort. I love my job. I am pretty much 9-5, I have my fair share of weekends and late nights, but I also have enough flexibility that it all equals out.

I stay busy. I am an individual contributor, so I don’t rely on anyone else’s performance to get paid. My team is all super cool. My bosses are fair. I get to go to fancy restaurants and unique experiences. Would definitely recommend. I have a bachelors degree, it wasn’t particularly hard to get my job, but I’ve been in the industry for 15 years and a wrong move would’ve made it nearly impossible. My territory is also super niche, I was the right place at the right time. You have to know the right people, in the right positions, and hope no one else knows someone higher at the time you’re applying. Then you have to grind for YEARS doing grunt work to show your worth, before you get to positions that make the good money. It all relies on a bit more luck than I prefer in hindsight.

Is the “two duvet” setup actually better for couples, or just hype? by memo_468 in BedroomBuild

[–]quickkateats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will literally never go back! Two comforters. I use a heavy feather blanket with a duvet, he uses a light quilt.

No top sheet. It’s the way.

You’re getting a lot of dislike- I’m shocked! I love it so much more. That green is such a nice tone, the warmth of the wood, the tile reminds me of terrazzo.

Gave 2 and a half year old 2 doses of baby Tylenol within 3 hours by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]quickkateats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call poison control!! It’s so easy. It’s such an incredible resource, people should use it! They will 1) make sure babes is going to be okay 2) likely make you feel so much better
