this is not moms related, but i need a place to vent and this board tends to be nicer than the main board. please don’t say to your colleague who you know is Jewish and the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors that you are “trying not to think about” what is happening in Israel and Gaza right now. How would you have felt as a black person, if I’d said that I was “trying not to think about” George Floyd’s murder back in 2020?
Anyone happen to know of any parent-child summer camps? My kid really wants to do one. I know Space Camp has one, but are there others? I think something leaning more towards science/animals/art would be better for us than the traditional outdoorsy camp in the woods. We’re not interested in anything with religious overtones.
I posted on the main site yesterday, but we are looking ahead to a family trip to Ireland + Edinburgh in 2025! Six adults plus a 2.5 year old. What should we do? Paging Cb…
Has anyone had success increasing their breast milk supply? what worked for you? I gave birth at 34 weeks and had to pump when the baby was in the NICU. I’m still suppose to be pumping most of her meals to ensure that she gets sufficient food and because I fortify her bottles to increase the calories. But I’m really struggling to produce enough milk. I’m willing to try most anything to increase my supply, but am not sure which of the things I read online are old wives tales and whether any of the expensive food products actually do anything.
My 3-year-old loves music and has been asking for her own “speaker.” We don’t have any old iPods/phones or CD players at home, so I’m trying to figure out a toddler-proof option for a holiday gift. Is a Yoto worth it? Or would it be better to get some kind of mp3 player with a bluetooth speaker (and if so, would appreciate any recs for mp3 players). Thanks!
TW: pregnancy loss
For anyone here who has experienced multiple miscarriages, I wanted to share this article, which a friend recently passed along and which has given me a lot of hope for better future treatment of miscarriage (even if it also made me furious at the medical establishment): https://www.statnews.com/2023/08/31/miscarriage-rates-research-prevention-treatment/?fbclid=PAAaab7IX_93S26bdygCyQM18mMtpZUOQA514G7CTwGb_pTK4B0jCbKutNu-E_aem_AYjc-V0lQ9OTpGSEbKfYLk22Y-GLodSA2m_EG4Kv9w7cWde0vAdXHPJSn96jeM67vTo&utm_source=pocket_saves
I went to business school with the woman who founded this brand! I haven’t bought anything of hers but friends have and love it
What’s the best pump? I’m so overwhelmed by options. I know I don’t need hospital grade or manual, and have heard rumors of pumps that don’t need to be plugged in to the wall, so they’re chargeable…? Insurance will cover it, I just need to call a DME supplier and confirm that they offer whichever one I prefer.
I don’t plan to BF for too-too long. Unsure if I’ll go back to work BF-ing or not, but assume for the moment I do and will bring this pump to work – I commute for 90 mins/day and travel with some frequency in short stints (overnight trips to NYC, etc.). FWIW, if I do pump at work, I plan to buy a second and leave it at the office. But I first need to settle on the right one.
Was looking at a Medela but I honestly don’t know what I’m doing. I have a handful of hand-me-down Medela bottles, which is why I’ve looked that way mostly. I’ve watched friends do this so I have a sense of options but also… not really. Help?!
Warning: pregnancy loss.
I thought my first pregnancy was in trouble, then it seemed ok (heartbeat and appropriate growth at 8 week ultrasound, tons of “miscarriage risk is extremely low now”), I finally dared hope, then I miscarried at 10 weeks and had a scary, stressful D&C on Friday. It’s been a devastating rollercoaster.
For those of you who have had this procedure, how long did it take for your period to come back and did you start trying right away after that? One doctor at the hospital told me I didn’t even need to wait for the period, but another said to wait for the first one to pass before trying again. I think I feel more comfortable with the latter.
Going through this has been a lot harder than I thought. I don’t blame myself but the weight of losing our new life we were planning is hitting me really hard (not to mention the abrupt crash from excited to heartbroken). Do I save the ultrasound photos we thought were so perfect? What have those of you who have gone through this recommend doing to make the recovery easier?
DD is 5.5. She needs her flu shot and covid booster, and soon because I’m due to give birth in about a month.
She’s HYPER aware this year of shots. Any brilliant ideas how to coerce her to get them? I’m picturing a straight up freak out from the car (once she realizes where we’re going) all the way until she gets the shots. Her normal check up isn’t until April so legit the only reason we’d be going to the doctor is for shots.
I thought of going to the CVS-route but I expect the pediatrician’s office is better suited to handle a wigging out child.
We plan to prep her – talk about it, tell her what to expect, tell her about a treat of some kind after (ice cream or whatever). But I’m just gearing up for total battle here. TIA.
