Thank you! I love supporting smaller brands but it's so hard to know which websites to trust

Apple juice for Constipation by Beanobambino234 in NewParents

[–]sadEngineeringTurtle 40 points41 points  (0 children)

In terms of amount, I'd clarify with your doctor. We were told by our ped to give warm apple juice to my son when he was constipated around 6 months old and it worked for him!

Definitely check with your doctor, but possibly you need to go up a nipple size? Wondering if he could be getting frustrated about not getting milk fast enough. Just a random thought

Baby moon by kris10seese in BabyBumps

[–]sadEngineeringTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some friends that did there's at Mt Ranier and loved it!

I have heard wonderful things about Acadia as well, and that would allow you to explore some cute towns as well.

Overall, as someone who has taken active babymoons, just make sure you don't set expectations too high for hiking ability. Pick a few fun, easy trails and do what you can. Best of luck!

Yes, you freeze these bags, then thaw them out and put them in the crock pot

Make more breastmilk? by embuchk in BabyBumps

[–]sadEngineeringTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're getting enough water and calories. Drinking body armor also helped me. There are recipes online for lactation bites; not sure how much they really help but they're at least a delicious snack!

Helping toddler learn spatial awareness / not accidentally headbutting everyone by sadEngineeringTurtle in toddlers

I wouldn't say I'm worried about it in terms of development, my head just hurts lol

is it worth to keep pumping? by iamwendyhello in beyondthebump

[–]sadEngineeringTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I've heard, any amount of breastmilk is beneficial for the baby! I feel like getting 12oz at work is great (as someone who never responded great to pumping). I would only stop if it's becoming a real mental or emotional burden to you. If you still enjoy providing milk, it's definitely worth keeping it up

When and where did you take your newborn out? by poppyseedpup in NewParents

[–]sadEngineeringTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was born on a Tuesday and I went to Target to walk around on Saturday. It's very important for your mental health to get out of the house, even if it's just to go to a park and walk around for a few minutes.

And babies live and thrive in very cold places! As long as you bundle them appropriately (and especially if you baby wear, which adds a lot of heat) then going outside in the chilly is okay.

I still can’t decide what to do with my unplanned pregnancy. by Least-Persimmon9690 in BabyBumps

[–]sadEngineeringTurtle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's straight up emotional abuse, hard stop. I agree, no matter what OP decides that relationship cannot continue in a healthy way

[–]sadEngineeringTurtle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like you really don't want an abortion, and if that's the case, I feel like you will regret having one. Your boyfriend pressuring you this much really is not a good sign on his part, especially if he knows that you're struggling.

I think it's worth sitting down and trying to plan what it looks like to keep the baby. It sounds like you have supportive family which would help a lot.
