What are the worst med side effects you've ever had?
Mine are probably
1) doubling my weight rapidly
2) becoming actively suicidal

4) severe word finding issues
5) being immunocompromised

Posted in a parenting group asking for advice on baby's biting. Turns out I should:
-give her homeopathic meds
-have her wear a string of amber beads around her neck
-freeze a washcloth and have her chew on it (my pediatrician specifically said not to do this because babies keep choking on towel fibers)
-have a big reaction so she knows it hurts
-don't react because she's doing it for the reaction
-a bunch of advice I already specified I was doing

My husband and I were playing with Mr. Hedgehog the puppet with our daughter and trying to decide what song he should sing and in tears of laughter we decided it absolutely cannot be "the hedgehog can never be buggered at all"

Help me out disability mastodon. I'm a mom to a 7mo and want to leave the house more with her. I've basically spent the last three months in bed and my energy is returning. My strength, however, is at square one. How the heck am I supposed to leave the house when I can't lift the stroller in and out of the car and can't lift the baby carrier with her in it? Ideally an answer that doesn't involve buying expensive new gear, and baby wearing isn't viable for my back, I need the stroller.

Healing not being linear is very frustrating. I had two really good (for me) days and I thought today would be the same and it isn't. I had grand plans (a shower for me and a bath for the baby). Instead I just tread water.

So lightheaded. How do I make my head heavy again? Can this be achieved with cheese? Gonna give it a try
