Flu
Anyone in here catch the flu? Did your baby catch it if you did? I'm the one who has to get out and do all the grocery shopping. Even when my husband is home. So...Friday he requested steaks that I didn't have. So I went to the grocery store and apparently picked up the flu while there ?. I also do all baby care...even with him knowing I think I have the flu ?. I'm so worried he is going to catch it or already has.
Well flu test came back negative, thankfully. But it appears I have a stomach virus or stomach flu. Which also sucks lol.
Unfortunately, I'm not breastfeeding ? He only breastfed for a couple days then decided he wasn't having it. After 12 hours of him refusing we gave a bottle and he hasn't looked back since. I tried pumping but I never get anything after the first few pumps.
We are currently waiting to be tested. I don't think he has it, but testing anyways to stay ahead of it just in case he does test positive.
I came home from the hospital with the flu. My 15 year old ended up having it while I was in the hospital and my 6 year old ended up with it the same time I did. I knew something wasn't right so I took the 3 of us to the urgent care. The doctor there thought we just had some viral cold. Once I mentioned I just wanted to be sure we didn't have the flu because I had a 3 day old at home (she is now 1month), the doctor said oh really well let's do a flu test on you to be sure. It came back positive. I am breastfeeding so I do all the care as well. I had to wear a mask and wash my hands before I touched her etc. and I was given tamiflu. She did end up with a stuffy nose when she was about 2 weeks old, but that was it. My husband even ended up with it and my 1 year old did get sick but I don't think he had the flu, if he did he never ran a fever. Just keep breastfeeding and take precautions while taking care of baby, a mask helps so your not breathing on baby. Hope you feel better soon!
The best thing you can do is to keep breastfeeding your little one. He will get all the antibodies he needs from your milk to help keep him from catching your illness. Wash hands often and try not to kiss/breathe on him (I know, it’s easier said than done). I thankfully haven’t gotten sick with this baby, but with previous babies I did, and they never got sick. Breast milk is amazing stuff!
Hang in there mama. Hopefully you get better soon!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.
