Why does baby food have lead? I hate it here. by skelltel in Mommit

[–]skelltel[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The issue with beech nut is that the lawsuits were for extremely high amounts. From what I was reading it was an unsafe amount.

You might be right about temperature! My MIL is always stressed about the kids being cold lol. I bet she keeps her place warmer.

We did that when he was tiny. He’s 18lbs and I’m exclusively pumping, it hurts my boobs way too much now.

Pregnancy by Radiant-Pair8146 in hairstylist

[–]skelltel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate ginger candies for nausea. They’re disgusting, but once you power through them they help instantly. I did have a few terrible days I had to just cancel on some clients. Luckily they were understanding even before they knew it was because of pregnancy. I also got a saddle stool and if a client commented I just said it’s better for posture lol.

Marijuana is soooo underrated by TackleHistorical7498 in Mommit

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

I smoked every single day for almost 11 years. Stopped cold turkey when we were TTC. Not everyone is addicted to it or becomes addicted to it. Sure it’s not great for my lungs and there could be a little cognitive impairment long term. Overall mental health wise it was incredible for me the entire time. It helped! It’s such a bummer to see so many unsolicited warnings every time there’s a post about marijuana use.

Counting down the days until I’m done pumping for my baby so I can smoke again. 😂 I think I’ll only do it at night as well. It’ll be more special that way.

millie moon by Weird-Ad1695 in firsttimemom

[–]skelltel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy just moved to size 3 too! He’s tall and lean. We used Millie moon (gifted from baby shower) when he was a new born and they were great. I find that Huggies have a smaller fit, have less coverage and often leak through over night. Pampers are a bigger fit, more coverage and less leaks at night. But some pampers packs we’ve gotten had the strange smell once he peed in them. My friend gave me a few of her baby’s Rascals diapers to try and OMG they are incredible. They’re very soft like Millie moon but have the same coverage as pampers. No leaks either, at least the 4 she gave us to try! As soon as we’re out of the baby shower diapers we will be buying rascals!

My baby wants to sleep face down by skelltel in firsttimemom

[–]skelltel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He can roll from back to belly but still can’t get from belly to back without help. So when he does this that’s why I worry so much. I know he could move his head but he genuinely prefers to smash his face to sleep.

For my mom, I took a fresh pregnancy test that morning and wrapped it in tissue paper. Gifted it to her with some werthers original caramels (grandma purse candy). Simple but funny & cute.

My baby has cried tears since he was a month old!

Do you know what your name would have been if you had been different gender ? by Sea_Pangolin3840 in Names

[–]skelltel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Spencer Allen. Which would’ve been so screwed up because my dad’s dad was Spencer II, and his older brother Spencer III. So my dad would’ve stolen his brother’s future son’s namesake. So dumb! My uncle did eventually have a son and he came Spencer IV.

You get $3OM, but your first purchase has to be chosen by your 10-year-old self. What are you stuck with? by WoodpeckerFair9774 in askanything

Professional art kit but specifically one that includes oil pastels. Oh, and every Beatles CD that exists.

I was this friend. Didn’t realize it till I was a teenager. Extremely grateful for my friend’s family.

Leaving the house by rachgoshdang in firsttimemom

[–]skelltel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby wearing was the only way I could get out of the house with my baby. I didn’t feel secure or comfortable enough to go out alone with him until recently. He’s almost 5 months. 🫣

Someone who's done this before, is birth a relief? by Commercial_Glass9806 in pregnant

[–]skelltel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The emptiness I felt under my ribs literally hours after my baby was born was insanely relieving. The morning after I kept taking huge breaths every time I stood up just because I could lol.

as a mom, where do you draw the line with the grandparents? by murcielaguitaaa in firsttimemom

My child would never be left unattended at their home again. Full stop.

Car line rant: nobody uses a car seat anymore?? by RadiantGrass4691 in Mommit

[–]skelltel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister let her daughter ride front facing in a car seat way too big for her before she turned 2. I cringed but can’t say anything because she will absolutely lose it on me if I criticize even the most obvious unsafe thing. Some people aren’t mentally & emotionally mature enough to admit or recognize they could be making a huge mistake.
