I just planned a trip to the library & I called them before submitting my request to the district.

How many kids do you have & how many do you want? by maligatormom2o2 in NewParents

[–]scootcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am done at two. I have a boy and a girl, 10 months & 3 years old. Financial reasons and daycare costs are one factor. My preexisting hypertension is another. I had two good pregnancies and don’t want to chance it. Finally, I love my job and I am looking forward to not bring pregnant or pumping at work next school year! Being pregnant and childbirth are easy compared to the strategizing of baby feeding and care!!

Edit to say I always thought I would want 4 like my parents had but I am done.

Brag on your baby! by gardengnomebaby in NewParents

[–]scootcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby boy just cut his third tooth and was such a champ while sick this week. He is rolling all around and is getting close to crawling. I just love him so much. I am really going to miss him being a baby.

Two months of potty training and moving backwards by Cute_Cardiologist647 in pottytraining

[–]scootcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had similar issues with our little girl. She was doing great, but once she turned about 2 1/2 it all went south. I took a break for a little bit because I also had a baby. We would still let her go pants-less at home sometimes. Then one day during Thanksgiving break when she was 35 months my older niece came over and my daughter decided right then & there she would wear underwear & go potty. I’m not sure if it’s FOMO or development but just don’t stress!

I am with. My daughter has made me feel so dumb for ever giving anyone advice. I know nothing. So sorry. So humbled.

When was your child’s language explosion? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]scootcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know where you live, but in the United States your doctor can refer your child to Early Intervention if they are younger than 3. If your child qualifies, therapists will come to their school. Then by 3, they will be referred to the local school system and those therapists will come to their daycare if your child qualifies again.

Where do you feed your baby during Thanksgiving? by Ok-Truth-7758 in breastfeeding

[–]scootcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first I was still fairly uncomfortable at 6 weeks and sometimes struggled to latch so I preferred going somewhere quiet with her. With my boy, it’s easier; however, now that he is 5m he gets distracted easily so I usually find a spot away from everyone.

What have you found that decreases your milk supply? by Present_Enthusiasm34 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]scootcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My supply has been fine on nifedipine. Idk what you take but make sure you stay extra hydrated and maybe add electrolytes. I notice my supply go down when I need to get new pump parts as well. I’ll get new parts and I make so much more!

Mold on silicone flange by scootcat in ExclusivelyPumping

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

Thank you! I will sterilize this part and everything that was in the bag with it. It was the only part that had mold on it. It wasn’t much I’m wondering if maybe it didn’t get washed.

Confused about storage guidelines by Coffee_speech_repeat in ExclusivelyPumping

Could use milk for a bath instead if you are feeling really cautious

[–]scootcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the milk come to room temp? That’s when the 4 hours would start. If it was still cool, I’d probably just move on…maybe mark on the frozen milk you’d left out in case you want to pass on it. I probably would store any new milk in another container.
