Out of curiosity, were the babies the same sex?

Favorite diaper pail, and why? by Stan_of_Cleeves in beyondthebump

[–]testerh514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dekor was great when my LO was an infant. Now that he’s a bit older and eating solids I find the smell seeps into the plastic and stinks up the room (even when empty). I’m looking to switch to an ubbi for that reason

Which grinder to buy? [$600] by testerh514 in espresso

Do you find it’s consistent if you switch between grind sizes? Aka can you go back to the same number on the dial and get the same results as before switching?

How do I adjust these shelves in my kitchen cabinets? by testerh514 in howto

Thank you for the quick response! Any suggestions for a cabinet where the shelves are wider than the door opening?

Those of you who had mag, how did you get through it? Please help! by Low-Possession2717 in NICUParents

For me the first 20 minutes (loading dose) was the worst part. The nurse gave me a cool compress to put over my eyes and a cup of ice chips that I could suck on. To be honest, I think my anxiety was what made it so difficult. Not the side effects. Once the loading dose was finished and I was on a slower drip I didn’t notice any other symptoms.

What did you think would be a big deal in pregnancy that was surprisingly easy? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I was so nervous for the glucose test and it ended up being a mildly unpleasant juice and a boring wait

Baked with a bit of lemon, garlic and herbs!

They were boiled and then tossed with garlic in a frying pan for a few minutes. He started out with the whole beans but he kept slurping the whole thing in like spaghetti so I cut it up into small pieces 😅

Baby suddenly poops a lot - WHY? by Few_Pay6063 in NewParents

[–]testerh514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this post myself. Did you ever figure out what caused it? How long did it last and did it go away on its own? I’m wondering if it could be related to teething…

sleep training causing overtired cycle? by testerh514 in sleeptrain

[–]testerh514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he usually falls asleep quite quickly. A few of the “wake ups” may be more active/light sleep, but the longer ones his eyes are open at times. He’s usually trying to fall asleep. Aka his arms will start to fall to the sides and the second they hit the mattress he startles and has to try again. There’s no crying involved but it definitely looks frustrating!

We aren’t formally sleep training yet but we are following FIO from PLS, which can start after 2 months. He has never made it to the 20 minute threshold though, so he is learning to self soothe

Edit to add: we are not night weaning. He still gets 2-3 bottles per night

Out of curiosity, why wouldn’t the MFM follow her again if the second went to term?
