I am proud of myself for putting a high chair together by myself. I was also proud of how I could contour my body to see what I needed to see.
However, now regret is setting in!
Are we thinking they will stay blue? Dad and his side of the family all have different shades of blue. However, on my side my cousins & Aunt have blue! mine a dark hazel/light brown. This is his now!
We are using a variety of 8oz and 4oz Dr. Browns bottles. However we are having issues figuring out a loading configuration that doesn’t spurt a ton of water out the steam vent during the wash and rinse cycle!! If anyone can help I’d appreciate it!!
1.) A large play yard that’ll fit in a living room, so baby can have space to play with toys. (With a foam mat, we have hard floors)
2.) Your favorite developmental toys to help with fine motor skills.
3.) Favorite Baby utensils/plates/straw cups (preferably dishwasher safe)
4.) Wide Baby Gates with narrow slats, (our dachshund likes to slip through).
I was referred for ADHD testing well I got my report today, it said they could not score one of my test because they said I put “low effort on one of the test” and the other had “exaggerated symptoms” Also that my proven (medical test proven) chronic illnesses were somatic…
So my little is EFF. however someone graciously donated us some breast milk for things like when he gets sick. I’ve heard it being used in baths and such. In this case, he has HFM. He is 5 months old. I know there are parents in here who have breastfed, I’m hoping someone can give me suggestions?
So I was told today, that my right ankle is continuously subluxating, and It’s a high likelihood I am going to need surgery on both ankles due to EDS. The plan is to do an ultrasound and MRI, then discuss the details of the surgery. One option is shortening the ligament but because of the EDS that would ultimately be pointless cause the ligament would just stretch out again. So their solution is taking donor tendon and putting it through my bone to help strengthen and stabilize.
With that being said, they will do one at a time, and the first 4-6 weeks after surgery I will be non-weight bearing. Here is my major issue. I have a 6 month old at home, and I am the primary caregiver because my partner works due to me being on disability.
I just don’t know what I’m getting myself into and everything else, alls I know is I need the stability so I can play enjoy my sons childhood
So, for those that have the owlet sock, have you used it with a sick baby and it been accurate with O2 and such?
Or if you have another suggestion of an instore sensor we can use. In our area we are limited to a normal target and several Walmarts.
My youngest doxie turned 4 today!! I remember when she was born, putting her on the scale for the first time and telling my friend (her breeder) that I was going to be taking her home! I was right! I also gave birth to her human brother this year and she is smitten with him!
So we are beginning to look at high chairs! I do have a few specific things I am looking for in one.
1: Easy to Clean (seat and tray)
2: Easy Tray removal
3: Adjustable footrest to allow for growth (my son is lower percentile for height and weight)
4: Willing to spend up to $200, maybe a bit more.
As a child, I suffered extreme abuse (sexual,physical, and mostly psychological). I’ve been in therapy since 14, seen different ones when I feel like we aren’t getting anywhere (or they sexually harass me). I’ve been with the same psychiatrist for 11 and she’s made the biggest difference. Im taking medications, and have tried so many different things.
I just had a son 5 months ago, and what I thought was semi stable has completely flown the coop. The trauma is starting to affect my relationships. My son is taken care of, however, I don’t want him to grow up and see his mom as someone who couldn’t handle trauma that happened for 18+ years.
At this point I am considering ECT again. I need thorough psychological testing due to suspected diagnosis from my current psychiatrist (she’s temporarily handing things because I am postpartum)
I am honestly at a lost, if this is not the right sub then MODS I apologize. If anyone has a suggestion for a different sub to maybe get suggestions I’m all ears. I need to heal myself before I affect my son. Permanently

I have a smaller sized 5 month old (12 lbs) so I prefer the baby hooded towels. The microfiber are soft but don’t absorb but so well when drying (wash cloths are a different story), however I’ve never tried a muslin towel. We do use muslin burp cloths. Just wanted opinions, even possibly links with your favorites from Amazon!!
Omg, I forgot how condescending and horrible Dan is. This time around I love Nathan as compared to Lucas.
Any recs outside of Advanced Psychotherapeutics?
I don’t know that I can ever be 100% honest with myself or anyone else… I just want to be alone by myself, but I also want to hit the wall and scream so loud. I just want my brain to stop. I dont even understand who i am or what my purpose is anymore. I gave birth and now im a mom whose job is to love and protect my son from everything especially what I went through. I just dont know anymore and not sure what i am supposed to do and how to handle this…
Dx: hEDS potentially VEDS due to symptoms, also positive for Endometriosis
What would you have done in my situation?
So, the Gyno clinic put me on progesterone pills with plans to place a mirena under sedation in their clinic. However I only have 2 stickable veins that can only be access by vascular access via ultrasound and will only hold a 22 gauge. My menstrual cycle is causing me to need iron infusions (not including the hemorrhaging during my c-section) I have no need for birth control methods due to having my fallopian tubes removed. I know this might sound stupid but I don't want to be on hormones unnecessarily especially cause the progesterone tablets cause heavy if not heavier bleeding not during my cycle.

Does anybody know if this clinic uses resident physicians or is it just attendings if this is not the appropriate place to post this, please help me post it in the right direction
Looking for sleep sacks that come in a smaller size and won’t break the bank. My son is now starting to sleep on his belly!
