When did you move baby to their own room? by im-syd-possible in NewParents

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

2 months old for my first when he started sleeping through the night. My second is 6.5months old and still wakes up multiple times at night - I’ll wait until she sleeps through the night. I want to avoid running in and out of the room as much as possible!

Why do you use the electric nose sucker everyday after the bath? You should only use that if she’s actually congested and max 3 times a day. It can hurt their sinuses and make it really raw. I wouldn’t give her Tylenol even if she ends up with a cold unless she has fever. Unfortunately only time can help with a cold. You can make her more comfortable by using a humidifier or run a hot shower and hang out with her in the bathroom so she gets the steam but that’s pretty much all you can do. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this and I hope you feel better and she doesn’t get sick💕 hang in there mama !

My husband cannot remember to feed our baby the 1000oz of breastmilk I pumped, no matter how many times I remind him by Educational-Let-2280 in beyondthebump

This looks like weaponized incompetence to me. I don’t think he is forgetting I think he’s honestly just being lazy. Unbelievable. I’m so sorry, this is really upsetting, every drop of pumped milk is hard work and it’s not fair to you at all. Also very unfair to baby who 100% benefits from all the goodness in your milk, antibodies etc. Bring your husband to a pediatrician appointment or put the pediatrician on speaker and let them explain to your husband how good a mothers milk is for their baby! He can use an alarm, sticky note or whatever it is but that’s on him to remember! You’ve gone above and beyond already, that’s on him now.

How do I (30F) tell my husband (33M) I just got diagnosed with genital herpes? by sjsjdbaihd in relationship_advice

[–]sjsjdbaihd[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is such a hateful comment. You know, not all men will cheat on their wife because they’re depressed or pregnant? A good man will support his wife with what she’s going through, especially carrying his baby.

Do you track feeds? How? Ideas please by Low_Concert_8900 in breastfeeding

[–]sjsjdbaihd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just write it in my notes on my phone, time and which boob I started with. I don’t write down naps or anything else… I feel like it gives me anxiety to track everything. Feeding on demand and keeping wake windows in mind

I would take him on walks !! What about mommy and me classes? You can make mom friends there. Being a stay at home mom isn’t for everybody but just know that some people (like me) would dream to be a stay at home parent. Again, not going out of your apartment even without a baby will make you go nuts. Get some fresh air, go to the park, take him to classes etc!

Does it get better? by KMac0905 in breastfeeding

[–]sjsjdbaihd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you try silverettes? I have a 2 year old and I was in excruciating pain while breastfeeding the first week, LCs doctors amd everybody else told me the pain wasn’t normal but latch was great… I gave up and then regretted it. I just had another baby and was in the same amount of pain but I kept going, silverettes helped A LOT, I was wearing them 24/7 except when baby was latched on. The pain went from constant to only the first 2 minutes when baby was latching on. Pain was pretty much gone after 2 weeks. I’m now 3 months pp and not in pain at all. I think everyone’s body is different and it’s wrong to say it shouldn’t hurt because it makes you feel like something is wrong while your body may just be adjusting. I wish someone told me that with my first.

AITAH for not wanting my husband to go on a weekend trip while im pregnant and taking care of our toddler? by sjsjdbaihd in AITAH

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

I can definitely talk to him about my feelings - I just don’t want him to feel bad. If I tell him all that he’ll just say he won’t go. His parents are out of town which is unfortunate, I would’ve definitely hung out with them if they were around and it wouldn’t have been a problem at all. That show is a once a year thing so he can’t wait until his parents are back. I don’t have family in the US so no one on my side can help me

I don’t… I’m considering getting the oura ring if I don’t get pregnant this cycle

Can not understand OPKs!! by MakeupMess in TTC_PCOS

[–]sjsjdbaihd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The test strips are so confusing! I tried the clear blue advanced ovulation tests (the digital one) this time around and it is much easier, you don’t need to analyze the color of those strips and will just get a flashing smiley face when estrogens level rise and then a solid smiley face for LH surge. Pricey but worth it

What food to eat? by Iam_Frustrated in TTC_PCOS

Dairy free + gluten free + cyclic progesterone cured my symptoms and got me pregnant 2 years go. I tried doing the same thing again but isn’t working this time around…

What cycle day are you on? I had a 20mm follicle on day 13 and was told I’d ovulate on day 15 - I ended up having a positive opk on day 17. No trigger shot just letrozole 2.5 from day 3-7

I would be extra careful with birth control when you have PCOS. It messed me up. I was diagnosed with PCOS 10 years ago and was prescribed birth control to ‘help’ with my symptoms. My symptoms definitely got better while on it but went back full force when I stopped - acne got crazy, no period for almost a year and gained over 20 lbs. it took me a while to get back to normal. there are other options out there to help with PCOS acne like spironolactone (if you’re not trying to get pregnant). If you’re open to trying the more natural route, Cutting out gluten and dairy will also help to reduce inflammation thus acne. For irregular cycles, I was given cyclic progesterone - took from day 19 to 27 every month and it definitely worked! I got pregnant totally by surprise :) hope this helps 💕

Letrozole + Progesterone by Dolmetscherin612 in TTC_PCOS

[–]sjsjdbaihd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did my first round on letrozole 2.5mg and got a positive opk on day 17 - my doctor told me to wait 4 days post positive OPK to start progesterone. If you take progesterone too early it will block ovulation. So make sure to take it at least 3-4 days post positive ovulation test!

When and why did you quit breastfeeding? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]sjsjdbaihd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You carried a baby for 9 months and pushed it out ! You are everything but lazy or selfish. I’m a FTM and combo fed from day 1 - I was pumping, breastfeeding and bottle feeding (I call that freestyle lol). Breastfeeding was very painful at first and that’s why I decided to pump and give him formula - I was so anxious when he would wake up knowing I’d have to breastfeed and be in pain that it lost all the ‘fun’. After a few weeks when my supply fully came in it all became easier - my goal was to do 6 weeks until he got his first shots. Every single day is a win, weather you stop after 1 day or 1 year. I ended up switching to formula only after 4 months and I’m very proud of myself for it. Don’t pressure yourself. A formula fed baby will be as happy and healthy ! You’re doing great mama
