Snowy weekend!

bazingaa - sounds like you handled it well and it became a teaching moment. Kids are going to start noticing differences but it's how we react that will help how they approach a similar situation in the future and hopefully the outcome won't be the same.

DS has now progressed to full on fever. I gave him Tylenol at 2PM and he's only getting warmer. He's behaving fairly normally though. Snotty but no coughing (I'm sure that's coming tonight).

DH was kinda on my nerves so I told him to call a friend and go to the movies so I didn't have him around anymore.

bazingaa his behavior is completely normal for this age. You handled it well.

M has done something similar, twice. Once when we were checking out and the cashier was a very large woman, M said something very loudly to the effect of her being fat. I was mortified and I'm sure she was too. He basically did the same thing as we were walking past a large woman in Costco too. Both times I wanted to crawl into a corner.

sstwinklinglites hopefully A feels better soon. Do you have any ibuprofen you can alternate with Tylenol?

My niece used to say stuff like that a lot. She just notices everything. It's curiosity not prejudice.
I might try to respond so the father can here "that's a beautiful little boy. Look how cute he is!"
And then explain the difference part out of view. DS1 also says "I don't like him/her" and I have to explain that he can't say that. It's usually for a kid smaller than him that he doesn't want to play with. Embarrassing.

Getting better but still there. We have to give medicine for up to 10 days. I have a yeast infection too so yeah that's fun. During the time I think she has thrush, I was pumping every morning. So I'm not sure what to do about the frozen milk, I think I could scald it. But I'm afraid she could get re-infected. I hate the idea of throwing the milk away, I just don't know what to do. Thanks for asking!

Guise we have been dragging our feet on taking N's paci away at bedtime. We finally took the plunge and did it cold turkey yesterday. She cried and cried about it, it was so sad. I didn't realize how sad I would feel for her, I cried about it too like a sap. I guess I'm having the feels about her not being a baby anymore

I had heard to sterilize bottles, pacis, bibs, etc... but I'm not sure about the milk. If the internet says scalding takes away the yeast, then I would feel comfortable doing that and keeping the milk. Are they treating you both with nystatin? I have heard they can reinfect if it's on your nipples. I had heard to use the violet stuff too.

[vlagroupie]

I've sterilized everything. Baby is being treated with nystatin, my ob gave me diflucan. I clean my nips with a water and vinegar solution after feeding, I'm not showing any signs of thrush but I worry about reinfection.

[mrscatfarmer13]

vlagroupie I would use the frozen milk while you're both on meds if you can.

First straight to crib nap for #2. Whew. We also had to set up the play yard yesterday for a containment unit. 😂

We had a lazy weekend. Next weekend we're going to Chicago for a teacher conference for me, and DH and DS are coming with for fun. It's been planned since like October, and DH just asked today "what are we going to do with Josie?" Well shit. I hadn't even thought of that. We're terrible pet parents. Luckily my sister's friend is saving the day and said she can watch her.
