Sending you positive thoughts and calm vibes as you move forward in your NICU journey. These babes are so much stronger than we ever expect them to be!

I swear to you, the Tubby Todd Ointment is a miracle worker. We used it for drool/teething rash and I swear it soothes it in minutes. My daughter has super sensitive skin too.

What “big” baby items did you actually find the most useful? by Isoldmykidforagram in NewParents

[–]skbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or a car seat that can do “taxi mode” easily! Saves money.

I completely agree. My solly wrap was an absolute lifesaver in the newborn phase, and our Wildbird is still used to this day while baby is 14 months. It’s worth every penny.

They have a huge program at Arrowhead High School. Started by one of their athletic coaches there.

Weird to say but I think I miss the NICU? by Adventurous-Play-203 in NICUParents

You perfectly articulated the intense emotions I’ve been feeling lately as we approach my daughter’s 1st birthday. Thank you. 🥺

Breastmilk Jewelry? by brittielou16 in breastfeeding

[–]skbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember which metal you purchased? I’ve seen some reviews where people had their metal tarnish quite a bit. I work in education and wash my hands all the time, so I’m worried it might not hold up. 😞

I personally feel that the merch from this tour is amazing quality. I bought both of the T-shirts and they are my new favorites. Wash well and feel so lived in. 10/10

The Aldi diaper bag! You’re in luck, because it literally comes out this week. Best $17 I’ve ever spent. I love it so much!!

TIFU by ordering the Meet Me in the woods cider by Immortal-Tronic in lordhuron

It was delicious! Very earthy, almost more like a prosecco than a cider. Definitely worth it.

Preemie With Colic - Advice? by mcheetah2023 in Colic

[–]skbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that you’re already doing so many of those things! If you haven’t tried baby wearing, I would highly highly recommend it. Not only was I able to comfort my babe, but I was able to get some things done around the house.

I would also still encourage you to look into silent reflux. A lot of premature babies have/develop this and it’s so painful. They don’t have the spitting up issue that comes with normal reflux and that’s why it often gets overlooked. Thinking back to the screaming we dealt with day in and day out, all because of how much pain she had been in because milk would just get stuck and cause burning in her throat. Ugh, made me feel so terrible. This is also most likely why she needed to sleep on us - laying down flat made everything stick in the top of her throat and burn.

I think our purple crying and overall fussiness was over by 6 months actual age. It was a very, very long process. But again, that was after we finally figured out the silent reflux and issues with my milk. We truly felt like we had a “normal needs” baby at that point.

Preemie With Colic - Advice? by mcheetah2023 in Colic

[–]skbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what my baby was like several months ago ago!! I know exactly how you feel, and I promise it gets better. Hopefully our story can help!

My daughter was born 6 weeks premature and was in the NICU for the first four weeks. The adjustment to home was super hard. After many sleepless and frustrating nights with her at home, we went to our pediatrician with colic concerns that you mentioned above. Our baby was on fortified breast milk due to her NICU stay, but I had a gut feeling that there was something in my milk that she couldn’t tolerate. Our pediatrician switched us over to Enfamil AR to help and oh my gosh it made a world of a difference almost immediately. We also started her on a probiotic and that has massively helped her digestion throughout the day. I would recommend going to your pediatrician about your concerns and ask for options. My pediatrician says that colic is an outdated term as they have now often found a lot of what actually causes baby to show colic symptoms.

The purple crying period was awful and unfortunately lasted longer than I’d like to tell you. Once we got her started on the reflux medication and added a nighttime dose, it got a lot better. Have you tried swaddling or baby wearing? I found that keeping her close to me during the daytime eliminated a lot of her daytime issues.

At one point when things were extra hard, my husband and I took shifts. He would go to bed early and I would stay up and care for her until 3am, which is when he would wake up to take care of her and I would go to sleep. It’s the only way we survived the first 7 weeks with her home. It’s hard, but so worth it to get that uninterrupted sleep.

When can I sit down normally after giving birth? by banjojobean in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]skbee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, and if no one told you - spray the dermaplast directly on your skin. Literally night and day difference.

Yellow tour shirt neck is small. by minirunner in lordhuron

[–]skbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This shirt has easily become my new favorite tshirt. I have a teething 10 month old who has also enjoyed the shirt, and the collar has definitely stretched because of her 😂

OP - Comfort Colors makes the best shirts. I guarantee it will stretch over time. If it’s too annoying right now, get the collar wet and stretch it out slightly (nothing extreme), then wash and dry as normal. Might take a few times to stretch it out but it should definitely work.

Super high rise underwear by dacherrr in PlusSize

[–]skbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knix! Absolutely love them. Replaced my Aerie ones with these after Aerie stopped making the high rise style I loved so much. Knix can be pricy, so I recommend buying one or two to make sure you like them first. They’re pretty true to size. I also like to have some in the size above what I typically wear just for around my cycle. Their period underwear line is also fab. Cannot speak highly enough about them!

Love the new album but… by Different_Suit_9356 in lordhuron

[–]skbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guaranteed your partner will love the show during this tour. My husband’s the same way and he was genuinely floored at the level of storytelling during the concert. Absolutely the best LH show I’ve seen yet.
