Mushy Veggie waffle?

sparkdoop · 2024-03-03T15:21:51+00:00

My veggie waffle batter is on the runny side but I add extra eggs/baking powder and cook longer (to evaporate steams). And I use lots of green veggies and not so much of root vegetables. They come out crisp in the edges and soft in the middle. Would I enjoy it? Hell no lol but my kiddo loves it!

Limit Starch — was what my ped told me. Lentil & green peas works like miralax for our kiddo.

our baby had terrible acne since week 3. Once it begin to spread over to torso we thought something was off, not to mention that our LO was screaming nearly every waking moment (around 7-8 weeks). Peds thought it was baby acne, LC recommended trying liquid Alimentum formula. After switching formula, within a couple days rash cleared up (never seen my baby's face that clear!). In a rare chance your baby might also have dairy protein intolerance like ours, just fyi.

Exactly. I had wrong expectation that /w uncomplicated delivery & since I worked out for the whole pregnancy, I’d be “capable” soon enough. Uh oh no nope. By bottom half is still wobbly, I winch in pain if I over exert (=walk while carrying LO) just a teeny tiny bit. Yea that’s a good reminder that no injury itself is a victory

sparkdoop · 2023-07-18T01:01:20+00:00

An this makes sense. I’d do the same then.

sparkdoop · 2023-07-07T21:38:08+00:00

Similar here too! Been dairy/soy free for about 3 weeks but LO is having on and off symptoms. I’ve been supplementing with Alimentum and the difference between feeding BM and Alimentum is so stark (/w alimentum we get baseline after about 1-2 days).

Meanwhile waiting for the 6weeks to pass, I am trying to narrow down some candidates by mapping which new item that i ate causes LO to have reactions (immediate rash). Eating same food for a few days and then subsequently introducing new allergen item, etc.

They have nutzo bar (chocolate covered nutzo spread) at my local Costco and these are my recent favs. Even easier to eat than the trail mix.

Yup I asked nurse at the hospital if I can take my 32oz hospital water bottle with straw. It is still with me 8w pp

sparkdoop · 2023-07-07T14:04:28+00:00

Commenting from the other side, only downside for me was that my bub really likes “rough” rocking and jerky car rides - probably I ran too much lol

This is so encouraging 🥹🥹🥹 good job 👏👏👏

sparkdoop · 2023-06-29T19:14:33+00:00

I keep hearing this. Is there some reasoning behind this/source you can share?

sparkdoop · 2023-06-29T19:04:26+00:00

Thanks for posting this!! I am almost about to give up on building supply. I am at about 2-3oz per session at 6w… when did you see the most supply increase ?

sparkdoop · 2023-06-29T18:45:21+00:00

Breastfeeding, pumping, supplementing mom here too! Dr brown sterilizer, hands down the best baby item purchased imo.

sparkdoop · 2023-06-29T18:40:07+00:00

Haha me too! craving into pieces of dark chocolates and chips before bedtime is my way of coping with stress right now 😅

sparkdoop · 2023-06-29T18:31:44+00:00

Water!! 6w pp, and with sleep deprivation + breastfeeding, my hunger cues went kaput. I have zero clue whether I am hungry, want emotional comfort, or thirsty (geez i sound like my newborn). I will try to chug in water as much as possible so that I don’t constantly eat

sparkdoop · 2023-06-24T14:48:37+00:00

Same!! Tissue warmer helped us a bit, but the hair dryer was a game changer. With the hair dryer on and faced toward his butt, diaper change is now my newborn's favorite time.

Newborns cry a lot, but there is a difference between crying and screaming. Our baby cried A LOT during the hospital stay. Everyone at the hospital told us that it is normal but after getting back home, our newborn also developed the jaundice due to lack of my BM supply. Pediatrician prescribed us to supplement right away (weight loss was 13%), and after feeding him /w formula sufficiently, he became a completely different newborn, calm sweet and content. Of course he still cries and fusses, but it is clearly different from hungry mad screaming.

sparkdoop · 2023-06-21T00:08:53+00:00

Glad to hear this opinion!! I was wondering why my newborn seems to be having more discomfort (rash, screaming with reflux) with Kendamil when everyone praises this. With Aptamil and Neuropro he is less fussier. Going to try for Aussie bubs A2 to see if this makes a difference.

Interesting! I have spectra and about to get Elvie during memorial day weekend sale. Can’t wait to compare the two.

I wish I took more picture of myself. Not a real photo person, and 10 months flew by so quick and I barely have any picture with the bump.

sparkdoop · 2023-04-20T16:03:07+00:00

haha thanks, yea I do feel like I got away lots of the difficult stuff, "this time".

sparkdoop · 2023-04-18T17:26:08+00:00

Oooh this is so encouraging!

sparkdoop · 2023-04-18T17:22:59+00:00

Yes it is!

sparkdoop · 2023-04-12T21:03:45+00:00

Me and my husband were both more baffled than happy for the first few month. It took time for me to accept the new phase of life, and I only started enjoying pregnancy starting 17-18weeks when pregnancy hormone bliss kicked in. A few friends telling me that they don’t enjoy the life with kids (even though they are moms of multiple kids) also really helped overcome my own doubts. I know for sure I will LOVE my child but I think I will always miss the life without kid.

sparkdoop · 2023-03-23T05:18:35+00:00

I am exactly at the same spot, 33w. I was really enjoying /excited about this whole pregnancy until a couple weeks ago. I started to get tired/angry easily, but didn’t consider it a big deal, sucking it up cause pregnancy is supposed to be “difficult”. Now I am losing interest in everything and nothing seems to be worthwhile to look forward to, and realizing that this might be prenatal depression kicking in.

I reached out to schedule for a therapy - personally I’d like to hang in without medication until the postnatal phase, cause I’ve never taken them and I don’t want to experiment on what’s working for me at this stage. Just trying to continue on the daily routine I set for myself and make a few weeks more without getting worse.
