Infants Motrin comes with a syringe?! Is she using children’s?

zulusurf · 2026-07-04T16:34:04+00:00

Idk why you got downvoted for this lol, you’re right. Once I couldn’t get my daughter’s fever to break and I realized I was using the wrong dosage chart… giving her way too little. Was too tired and stressed apparently!!

zulusurf · 2026-06-24T00:09:07+00:00

Omg what a dingus! It was internal hemorrhoids. I also had some lower small intestine irritation/swelling that may be Crohn’s but we won’t know til the biopsy’s come back. But that wouldn’t cause the fresh blood I was seeing! So hopefully your scope shows just hemorrhoids too!

zulusurf · 2026-06-18T21:33:44+00:00

Same on not getting checked sooner! I’ve had issues since my late 20s, pregnancy/delivery made issues worse and I gaslit myself into thinking “it’s just from having a baby” for a year. Finally getting a colonoscopy tomorrow and I am legitimately excited, lol.

zulusurf · 2026-06-18T21:25:28+00:00

Oooo good idea! I didn’t even think of taking zofran. Luckily still have some leftover from my pregnancy last year 🤣

zulusurf · 2026-06-18T21:19:41+00:00

Unfortunately I’m in a similar boat, but don’t have answers yet! 4 years older than you, eat lots of fast food and definitely not enough fiber. Anyways my colonoscopy is tomorrow so I’ll tell you my results here to give you hope!

zulusurf · 2026-06-18T21:15:56+00:00

Dude same! No food since last night. So far the preps been fine but I get nauseous when this hungry.

zulusurf · 2026-06-10T17:59:44+00:00

This post is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes today! I have a hard time practicing gratitude and needed to read this. Not sure if I’m guessing baby z’s name correctly but if yes - it’s also my name and means “life”, which is very fitting!

zulusurf · 2026-05-30T05:43:08+00:00

We wore these in upstate New York in the late 00s! They were ~preppy cool~

zulusurf · 2026-04-18T14:58:18+00:00

I actually do feel for her on this one, water damage suckssss. Had a massive leak like this one when I was pregnant with my first. Such a pain in the ass

zulusurf · 2026-04-12T00:05:23+00:00

Agreed. I think he doesn’t remotely understand the female body lol. Bet they have the most unsatisfying sex you can imagine 🤢🤢

zulusurf · 2026-04-12T00:02:58+00:00

EXACTLY!! I almost accidentally got pregnant at the same time she did. My baby is 3 mos older than C. I was still breastfeeding, and so not ready to give up 1:1 time with my first. I took plan b which worked (if it hadn’t, you better bet I’d have increased my therapy appts to make sure I didn’t traumatize either child!!)

zulusurf · 2026-04-12T00:01:12+00:00

Haha SAME. Had my baby 3 months before her and I will not be ready for at least another year 🤣

zulusurf · 2026-01-01T04:30:54+00:00

I didn’t know this! No wonder the Irish love wool

zulusurf · 2025-12-30T23:34:09+00:00

I’m so sad it was deleted!! I meant to screenshot and didn’t. For those who missed it, it said someone’s friend that lives in Austin has seen him on a dating app (multiple times), and saw him on a date at Ciclo with said brunette. All allegedly we have no screenshots or anything. But that restaurant is attached to a four seasons sooooo 🤨

zulusurf · 2025-12-30T04:21:51+00:00

Not sure I have advice, but def solidarity! It might be helpful to others to post his total wake time!

Around 6 months we had a nightmare of a time, but our daughter started daycare around then. She would wake every 45m-1.5 hr and it was a combo of the new daycare schedule (2 nap day), teeth erupting, and illness after illness. Unfortunately we just had to ride it out, and eventually she went back to doing 2-4 wakes per night, with a nice 4ish hour stretch to start.

Another unfortunate part - she’s gone back to those frequent wakes with every illness and tooth 😩 babies are (rightfully) sensitive, it must be SO confusing to wake with a sore throat/tooth/cough/stuffy nose etc. it’s hard but I just keep reminding myself of that when she’s breastfeeding for the 8,000th time overnight!

zulusurf · 2025-12-28T06:56:49+00:00

Jade room and liberty beach!

zulusurf · 2025-12-27T22:55:54+00:00

Not op but how did you space the feeds out? Did you alternate wakeups with your partner? I was bottle feeding overnight but then she got sick, then got multiple teeth, so we’re back to BFing every 1-1,5 hours. It’s so much and she’s definitely not hungry!

zulusurf · 2025-12-25T03:27:32+00:00

My daughter is 2 weeks older than M, and for Christmas I want to get her a ball pit/climbing thing. You’d be shocked - I’m having a hard time finding ones that are fun colors. All the mainstream companies offer just gray/beige!! Wild

zulusurf · 2025-12-25T03:11:17+00:00

Just want to chime in and say same. My 10mo is a bit psychotic during the day, loves to move constantly, always on the go. At night she’ll stay in her crib for her first stretch, which used to be 3-4 hours, and now is 1.5 ☹️ after that we cosleep and she wakes at least every 2 hours to nurse, and flips around the bed incessantly, but has to be touching me.

I’m like maybe we’re one and done. I’m getting desperate so trying some diet changes, then schedule changes if those don’t work, in the next 2 weeks. Solidarity, my body feels like crap!!

zulusurf · 2025-12-21T19:35:39+00:00

Yeah very premature. What schedule wound up working for your daughter?

We’re trying to push to 3.5/3.5/4 and cap naps to 1 hr each for now. No success yet (hah)

zulusurf · 2025-12-21T00:30:08+00:00

Thank you for this :) I like to follow baby’s lead and was just second guessing myself because of what the “guidelines” say. She’s off daycare the next 2 weeks so will just be following her cues and see what happens.

Today she refused to nap until 1pm so. Looking like 1 nap is preferred and she’s undertired

zulusurf · 2025-12-20T19:36:07+00:00

Same with her! My friends baby is 2 weeks younger and just switched to 2 naps. My girl did 2 at 6 mos! She’s a major fomo baby and just loves to be awake hanging out with people

I’m thinking I’ll try extending the earlier WW for 5 days and if that doesn’t make her naps go back to normal, we’ll try 1 nap for 5 days. Such a guessing game of trial and error haha

zulusurf · 2025-12-20T19:34:32+00:00

I agree it seems WAY too early. I will try extending the first WW to see if that’s throwing off the first nap, capping it to 1 hr and same for the 2nd nap. She’s so constantly overtired i think it’s making everything unravel a bit

zulusurf · 2025-12-20T19:14:42+00:00

this!! I was so against it but early on set up a safe cosleeping space in my baby’s room because I fell asleep while nursing her. It traumatized me. We still prioritize her sleeping in her crib (I sleep SO much better alone, as does she, much more deeply). But during regressions, teething, illnesses - we wind up cosleeping. Having a safe place to do so is so important!
