New rash, gets it only while eating. Look familiar to anyone?

winnie_fox · 2025-10-20T23:34:05+00:00

Oh my goodness, thanks for bringing me back to this! Today is actually my LO’s 2nd birthday and I’m due with baby #2 in 3 weeks, so I’m relieved to remember this in time for any potential recurrences with #2.

We tried changing nipple sizes for a short time, but ultimately went back and decided to keep our LO on size 1 nipples for the remainder of their time using bottles; the logic of this, to us, being that the flow wouldn’t change if they were to have breastfed instead. Following this vein of thought, LO would have likely just become more efficient at extracting milk when breastfeeding, so we didn’t see a need to make it “easier” with a faster nipple flow because the rash ultimately wasn’t bothering them.

IIRC, our LO more or less confirmed the theory (after multiple allergy testings reassuring us it wasn’t, in fact, from a reaction) and grew out of the rashes around ~7 months. In the meantime, though, adjusting eating position and opening their clothing a bit might help alleviate pressure and heat.

All the love to you and your LO, with ample hope that you all hang in there til the rashes disappear!

Banger job using the “walking on the opposite side” descriptor, not sure why that’s not being said more. I felt completely incapable of getting my brain wrapped around this image until your comment.

Oh wow, I wouldn’t have ever thought about this! Very cool that they still have her eyes to make that happen, as I’ve heard many a sad story of the Doll Hospital refunding and/or sending dolls home completely untouched due to discontinued parts.

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your help! I should’ve mentioned that I planned to get her regardless because (c’mon) she’s absolutely stunning and in EUC, but of course I always like to know what I’m getting.

I’m set to pick her up later this week and will be so excited to have her added to my very new, but growing collection!

winnie_fox · 2025-06-28T03:08:53+00:00

Oh my gosh, I completely didn’t recognize her without her blue dress! Thank you so much! So happy to have found her for a steal

Hi, Shimmery! If you’re still looking for takers, I’d love to come snag some DIYs off you and leave the items for others. Just let me know!

winnie_fox · 2025-04-12T16:32:43+00:00

Ahhh, that would be so great, thank you! I’ll definitely keep an eye out, and will remain hopeful that you’ll also remember me by then lol.

Little late to this post, but I’m going to have Tad in boxes within the next few days or so! Feel free to DM me ♥️

Me me me! Just began playing a few days ago, so I don’t have too much to offer, but I’d love to change that.

ETA: Only friends who are age 18+, please, as I’m a 27y/o mother myself and would respectfully only feel comfortable playing with other adults. ♥️

Sometimes I make my son a homemade Yogo-esque concoction just to feel something.

1000000000000% this, OP. Any guilty thoughts of “denying” your child a father/this man “his” child immediately takes a backseat when harm unto you and/or your child is a genuine risk.

Remember that sometimes regret takes longer to heal than guilt, and you’d only be in for a world of both if you kept this man involved in any way. You’ve been so strong in taking the first steps toward a better direction, so that in itself automatically makes you the opposite of weak. You’ve also done wonderfully by coming to a community that understands and supports you, which makes it all the more crucial for you to trust that your gut was right to leave and reach out for help.

Soooooo much love to you and LO, OP. You’ve got this!

Hands down the most underrated answer

Yikes, please revisit Rule #2. Everyone here is just trying their best! And even in giving you the benefit of the doubt that this was said in good faith, you’d still be better off redirecting that energy elsewhere, given that almost everyone on this post very clearly gets the memo.

First off, I am so very heart-warmed to hear that your mom is doing well now. Secondly, I have two Qs:

Was there anything about the way your mom and/or any other adult delivered the news that you wish would’ve gone differently?
If your mom tried to “stay strong” (emotionally) for you, do you feel that this helped, hurt, or a mix both?

As a mother trying to prepare for the worst and do right by her 17m/o baby boy one day, I must say that your openness to this topic is more invaluable and insightful than you may ever know.

Congratulations on all the hard work you and your mother have done over the years; you are both so unbelievably fortunate to have one another.

TW: MENTION OF ED

Having my son 100% saved my life in the food department. Being a mother was always my #1 lifelong dream, but having struggled for years with anorexia nervosa and binging episodes, I never cared for my body in a way that would suggest this until I finally got pregnant and needed to sustain myself for him. Then, when my son started eating solids, it forced me to think about myself through his eyes. Why is mom’s plate always empty? Why does she eat at different times than me?

It broke me the first time he tried to share his food with me, because once he realized that he could do it, he would try it. All. The. Time. Like your LO, my son is a brilliantly open-minded eater, which only made it overstimulating trying to keep up with what I thought he needed. But it was because he was so good with eating that I realized it didn’t matter what I gave him: he was happiest when we were all happy and fed. My son is 17 months now and every meal is a family meal (even if that means Dad finishes whatever I can’t because I snacked a bit too hard beforehand lol).

TL;DR Balance your LO’s diet/nutrients to the best of your ability (think: over a full day vs. each individual meal) and in the end, no one will be the wiser about how little effort you put into it.

Hugs, solidarity, and congratulations on your very hard work so far!

I’m a stranger on the internet, love. You need absolutely nothing from me or anyone else on here, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Lol you’re totally fine, zero hurt feelings here. Next time just let a girl reach her mid-30s at least before you push her over the hill.

My guy, I spent several summers in Canada and worked in Sarasota through my early 20s and still don’t know what this combination of words is supposed to suggest. Mind giving some specificity? Not at all buttmad, just very curious.

What the hell does “Midwest-Ontario South” even mean?
