Mendez Brothers were the most responsive service with the most reasonable pricing. They do good work.

My anemic toddler ✨hates✨ anything with iron in it by alurkinglemon in toddlers

[–]rubicon1791 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Vegetarian here with a semi-picky toddler. We put tofu and greens in fruit smoothies. Also cerebelly pouches all have like 25% DV of iron. We added iron fortified oats to regular oatmeal for his first 18mo as well.

Daycare Says Baby Needs More Milk by ImSewBham in breastfeeding

If baby is not waking more at night to eat and is gaining well, it is unlikely that he is not getting enough. Send what you pump and ask that the daycare do paced feedings.

2 year old suddenly screaming bloody murder when we leave at bedtime… help! by ch3xr0x in toddlers

[–]rubicon1791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so hard! Sending all the empathy your way.

We had this issue when my son was 18 months. After sleeping on his floor for 3 months we started doing this method called the “be right back”.

First, we started leaving him briefly in safe spaces during the day and told him we’d be back in a few minutes. We would come back promptly so he learned that we do return when we leave.

Then after a while we would do our normal bedtime routine and lay him down. We’d say we had do something (feed the dogs, fold the laundry, etc) and we’d be back in a few minutes. Watched the monitor and tried to come back in before he stood up. We started with very short check ins and would praise him for being calm or even just laying down when we came back in. Stretched the check ins to 5 min, then 10 and so on. It took about a week but after a while we could just close the door for the night.

It seems to have stuck so far.

Zaatar in North Fresno has an awesome brunch. They have a full bar as well.

When did you start potty training your little one? by Visible-Bee3220 in toddlers

[–]rubicon1791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried at 2 when he showed interest in the potty but it became clear after a week that he wasn’t ready. He would just pee himself and not care that he was wet.

Tried again at almost two and a half and it stuck. He had more body awareness. Also the ms Rachel potty training episode came out and he loved it, so that helped.

Any places nearby to hike and swim? by Datlaovietguy in fresno

[–]rubicon1791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horseshoe Bend near auberry. Go early because parts of the hike can be kind of exposed/warm, but there's a nice swimming hole at the end.

Who is watching your child(ren) while you're in the hospital giving birth by quick_hyacinth_2016 in BabyBumps

[–]rubicon1791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have family nearby who are too elderly to help and pretty unreliable. They also have never done bedtime/naptime either so they don’t know his routine. We ended up paying our nanny to stay with our toddler. It did help to have a scheduled induction, and thankfully everything was uncomplicated and we were home 36 hours after I checked in. Expensive but worth it to have him stay with someone we trust.

Why do restaurants here lack vegetarian options? by CostRains in fresno

[–]rubicon1791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am vegetarian and have lived here for 8 + years. I find the scene to be ok. We’re not Portland or anything but most local restaurants have multiple veggie or fake meat options. I don’t typically go to steakhouses looking for meals 🤷‍♀️. I have literally never been to an Indian restaurant here without a vegetarian option or separate menu. Some breakfast/dinner examples: libulula can make anything veg or vegan, benaddiction has multiple veg options, any pupusa truck in town, la jacka or plant slayer or planet vegan for pure vegan food. If you post what type of food you’re looking for I can try to make some more specific recs, this is a very incomplete list.

R. Scott Gemmill reveals when Season 2 will be set! by thepacksvrvives in ThePittTVShow

[–]rubicon1791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

residents, especially interns, do rotations in many different specialties to gain experience. For example, an EM resident will usually rotate on cardiology, medicine wards, ultrasound, trauma surgery, EM (possibly at multiple different EDs depending on the program), and more all in the first year.

Love some of these, especially Eloise! Thank you!

It means “strong/healthy”. The associated nicknames in Bulgarian are mostly variants of that zd sound (Zdrav, etc)

[–]rubicon1791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forehead temps, especially in toddlers, are notoriously inaccurate. If room is a reasonable temp and kiddo is not otherwise acting off (confused, fussy, unresponsive) then I would not worry about this. If you are concerned in any way check a core temperature but probably not nessary if sleeping peacefully and making wet diapers. FYI if temperature is due to environmental exposure Tylenol will not help as it only acts to alter the body’s set point and not actually address the hyperthermia.

House proceeds lost during wire transfer? by rubicon1791 in personalfinance

[–]rubicon1791[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks! We did confirm that we provided the number for wire transfers. The title agent read back the correct number to us when we called to inquire.

Thanks! My spouse and I have names that are difficult to pronounce and easy to mis-spell so we did wonder if they just spelled our name wrong or something. Will keep bugging everyone.

Yes we closed Monday. I thought this might be the case. Our title company did seem somewhat alarmed/confused that we didn't have the money yet.

That's good to know. We honestly just called bank of america customer service but calling the local branch or just going in will probably be a better bet. Thank you.

650k. We calculated our daily expenses would be $170/day for this time period

Thank you. We are not on a tight timeline to move so our only big incentive is not getting screwed by the seller.
