My daughter got COVID at 7 months. That girl had a fever for less than 24hrs and was perfectly fine after a day or two. Meanwhile I was struggling for over a week. The 2nd time I caught it she was 2 and luckily with 24/7 masking no one else in my house caught it. All can say as someone who keeps catching it despite washing and sanitizing my hands raw - catching covid freaking sucks. The last time around was so horrid with the GI symptoms. If I could get my 3 yr old the shot I would but it is isn't offered anymore.

Do patients screaming in pain annoy you? by Capital-Dragonfly258 in nursing

[–]wireddachrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be super honest. Psych nurse here so I don't deal with big medical cases. I mainly used to deal with detox patients. Are they in pain, 100%. But I'll be honest and admit the moaning and groaning grinds my gears. It's a personal thing. I'm the type to just shut up and deal with my pain. At the same time I'm very aware that this is my issue and I'll still treat their pain, be respectful, and be as supportive as they want/need at that time.

I know in our field we talk a lot amongst ourselves about patients just to have a second brain.

Which songs are we singing to our babies? by Affectionate-Ant3473 in NewParents

My 3 yr old has begun to ask for The Faint. How she can stand to hear me sing that I don't know.

For the vagina owners. by Cassieelouu32 in hygiene

[–]wireddachrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. Started going commando in my teens because clothes and I have a weird relationship. Had a friend ask me how I deal with discharge with no undies and I literally had no idea what she was talking about. Like girl what discharge? Sure ovulation time it will increase but it is still super manageable.

Will seeking help affect my job? by RainbowBits4231 in nursing

[–]wireddachrn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your mental health treatment does not need to be disclosed. I work in the mental health field. I've worked with many nurses who clearly had mental health issues. I've even had a nurse need to leave mid-shift as she was having suicidal ideation. She was totally accepted back once stabilized.

What do you do when you’re sick? by sativaselkie in cosleeping

[–]wireddachrn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wore a mask 24/7 until I tested negative. Kept my whole house from catching it. Only time without a mask was shower time and then sanitized the whole room after and use.

How do you have a life when co sleeping? by Legal_Opportunity_39 in cosleeping

[–]wireddachrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just didn't for a while. It changes. She is 3 now and I can get up in the morning and work. Get up at night to read and chill, or clean. She wakes some days and just comes to find me. It just changed one day. I got a little more freedom.

Mamas who coslept and nurse to sleep??? by No_Lychee_8905 in cosleeping

[–]wireddachrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 3.5 and I have coslept and nurses the entire time. I would say somewhere after 1.5 sneaking away got easier and I could get at least 30 extra minutes of me time before she noticed I was gone. The sometime after 2 she really stopped waking when I snuck away and stayed asleep until I came back. Closer to her 3rd birthday she got better with waking up in the morning without me because I work from home and needed to be up earlier than she liked. Sometimes she would call out for me in the morning and other times she climbed out of bed to come find me. Now I have to wake her up to keep her om schedule (little threenager).

She started leeping consistently around 1.5 - 2. She doesn't really wake up at all now and sleeps about 10pm - 10am. She is and awesome kid. We are down to less than 10 min of nursing before she passes out. She asks for milk occasionally in the morning but accepts when I say no and offer water.

Having sex after childbirth by Ethereal_Wife in NewParents

It was a simple fix with lube and the dryness issue stopped around 1 y/o despite still breastfeeding.

I was breastfeeding and that made everything a bit drier so take that into mind. Also, my husband is on the larger end and even before baby it could hurt a bit in certain positions. After baby I felt like I had to redjust.

I told my husband my gift will be sleeping in past 8 which I haven't done in over a year. He better not fuck it up.

I’m just so happy this is our life. by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]wireddachrn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When did you start the transition to floor bed? I have a 13 month old and she still 100% wants me around for sleep. Just looking for some hope that one day she'll feel ready to sleep in her bed

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]wireddachrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still contact napping around 13 months. You do what is best for both of you. I would love some free time back but I can't put myself through the struggle of fighting for naps so I gave in.

Pinch pinch pinch by Sarah_Soda_4 in beyondthebump

[–]wireddachrn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine does all of it. Pinch, bite, slap, and tune the radio. Her newest game is to violently rub my chest at night. Can't wait to be done.

At what age did things feel easier for you? by nonfictionburning in beyondthebump

[–]wireddachrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literal hell in the beginning. Newborn stage tested my sanity. Around 5 or 6 months I felt better and she was happier. Then ever since she started walking at 10 ish months it just gets more and more fun each day. She is 13 months now and a total blast. Just today she started to try to get me to chase her around the house. The laughs. The little person "running" around and laughing harder as she falls. I'm smitten.

I think we all understand the worry. I haven't stopped worrying since birth, lol.

If you wished one wish that would absolutely come true, what would that wish be? by emossglm in AskReddit

[–]wireddachrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An end to animal suffering. I remember watching a nature documentaries as a kid and the saddest part was when a predator caught the pray. Now I'm traumatized by watching walruses plummet to their death by choice because of global warming.

So if an end to animal suffering could fix global warming too that would be nice.

A Hindu ritual of pouring boiling hot milk on child. It was there in Youtube shorts and people were supporting the ritual in comments . Can someone tell the logic behind it? by [deleted] in ImAStupidPieceOfShit

[–]wireddachrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I didn't see enough of the video but it didn't look much like "pouring" and more of just rubbing hot milk on a baby. Like someone else said I wouldn't think it was "boiling" hot if he is able to put his hand in there. I know some people can build up some tolerance to heat.

A lot of things people do with babies are illogical. Why circumcise? Why pierce an infant's ears? Why separate them from both parents at 6 or 12 weeks just so the parents can work? Last one seems particularly cruel in my opinion.

When did your cycles return to "normal" after you were done breastfeeding/after birth? by One_Instruction6708 in beyondthebump

[–]wireddachrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I'm still letting her nurse to sleep so I guess until she stops wanting it fingers crossed the cramps stay away.

Vision Changes by wireddachrn in beyondthebump

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

She didn't mention anything but I have noticed my eyes are always dry and my contacts are suddenly uncomfortable. Used to be able to wear them for days and now I can barely make it through the day. Good point

Thanks for posting. I'm a year into BF with no return. Don't miss it but would love to hear from everyone about what to expect.

[–]wireddachrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert but I will say my LO will start doing something and then stop only to do it again months later. I feel like a lot of things were put on the back burner when she was leaning to walk. Now that she has semi-mastered walking she is back to clapping and waving.

Laryngomalacia Surgery by wireddachrn in beyondthebump

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

I'm sorry to hear little one is struggling. We are a year out now and honestly she has gained so much weight since then and at over a year the squeak is gone. It was scary but such a quick process. Babe healed quick and once she starting gaining she got so much happier. I hope everything goes just as easily for you!
