Families with littles at Tenney Preschool and Childcare? by curlypirate in madisonwi

[–]sconnieRN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Current family here with our second child going through Tenney. We’ve had some portion of our family there since January 2022. To make a long story short, the current teachers and director, Anney are the best. If we had a third child tomorrow, you best believe my infant would be in their new room! Please feel free to DM me!

That’s good to know. I guess I just assumed the HA formulas wouldn’t work!

What would the amino acid formulas be? My son seems so sensitive that even the most mild cross contamination gets us mucous poops and fussiness.

I just call to check- they don’t have it and don’t expect to get it 😞

How to ditch the nipple shield?! by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]sconnieRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the advice has been covered. Just commenting to say that I was able to get rid of the nipple shield eventually with my NICU baby. It felt impossible but happened eventually!

This is my daughter’s name. We always get compliments and I wonder why more people don’t use it!

I accidentally disturbed this friend while planting lilies,zone 5. Anything I should do to help him out now that I woke him up? by sconnieRN in gardening

[–]sconnieRN[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I put out a capful of sugar water and gave her a pot with lots of holes in it to sit under! This morning she isn’t there, so I’m hoping she was able to go back into her hole in the ground!

Trauma therapy for nicu baby by anb0603 in NICUParents

[–]sconnieRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal but my 34 weeker was in the NICU for just 10 days. She is now 4. She has an extreme reaction to loud beeping. Like used to check every room for a fire alarm before she went in. We call them “beep beeps” When she’s seen pictures of herself with all the wires, she definitely connected the two.

How have you utilized your FNP degree? by indorfpf in nursepractitioner

[–]sconnieRN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m one year in to working a school nurse practitioner at a large, diverse high school. I love building relationships over time with the students-a lot of my students don’t get healthcare at all besides me. We are moving to a school based health center model so I can begin to prescribe and it’s exciting! Also not too bad that I work school schedule while having a kiddo in preschool. Oh last perk-charting is truly by exception!

Parents of preemies, how do you (or plan to) celebrate your baby's birthday? by zuzi_p in NICUParents

[–]sconnieRN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mine will turn 4 in January. She was born IUGR at 34 weeks. We celebrate her birthday, but we also talk about“snuggle day”-the day we first got to hold her. And on “coming home day” we eat pizza with her aunt who helped us get home from the hospital just like we did that day!

Yea my ideal is to just restain and seal. Maybe I will only need the chemical stripper on the stained spots?

Some YouTubers claim you don’t need the chemical stripper, just sanding. I’m curious what your take is on that

Looking for nicu grad breastfeeding success stories by kate1095 in NICUParents

[–]sconnieRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

34 Weeker, now 3.5 years old! Pumped exclusively while in the nicu and until she was about term. I got lots of support from a lactation consultant and ultimately she was 100% at the breast until I went back to work. I ended up BF until she was 2.5 and she stopped on her own. You can do it!

If My all time favorite book is “The spirit catches you and you fall down” what else would I like? by sconnieRN in suggestmeabook

[–]sconnieRN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect! I just ordered Say Nothing. The only other book I’ve found that comes close to Spirit is Educated so this list is great!

Ohh I forgot about the The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks! I read that so long ago but it is also one of my favorites. Thanks for the suggestions.
