Wondering what everyone did or is doing for their LOs 1st birthday. Any traditions? Special things you have planned? What did you do during the party if you had one?We are having a tiny party because we have a small family (and both sets of grandparents will be in Florida 🤦‍♀️) and keeping it to close friends. I’m making a birthday plate for him to use every year, doing a yearly interview on camera (this year sitting him down and my husbands going to voice him all silly like), smash cake photos, writing him a letter/email about his first year. Thinking’s about it making him a box of first year treasures and a baby book – haven’t done any of that because too mentally taxing lol. via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/IkVv95x

I (44m) have been married to my wife (39f) for just over 20 years. We get along very well and we both care for each other very much. I can truly say she is my best and closest friend, and I know we can both trust each other with anything. We have so much shared history together and we have each been there for each other through hard times and good times. Right now, we are financially comfortable and we both work full time. She is wfh and I commute about 40 min each way. We also have two kids, 20(f) & 18(m), who are in college but still live at home, and we are paying their tuition. For the first five years or so, we were both very physically affectionate each other and had sex all the time. Even with small children, our sex lives were healthy. After a while, I guess things got busier for us both. We still had sex regularly, but it was less spontaneous and mostly on the weekends. It stayed like that for years. But, around 3 or 4 years ago, things slowed down A LOT. It got to where she was only interested if she was ovulating or on her period, and no other time. Then, after a while, it got to be less and less frequent, to the point where it was like only 5 to 7 times per year. For me, the lack of physical intimacy was excruciating. When I would talk about it with her, she would say that she still finds me attractive, and that I’m not doing anything to turn her off. She let me know that she isn’t put off by my pursuits and typically feels flattered when show an interest. That said: I was still being rejected about 19 out of 20 times. I got to a point where I was just unable to reconcile the sexual rejections & lack of physical intimacy against the rest of our otherwise wonderful relationship.Then, one day, something just snapped inside me, and I decided I couldn’t live with this kind of turmoil anymore. So, in a sort-of hail Mary to save my sanity, I decided to try something new. I started to make myself think of her the same way I think of my friends and co-workers: any time I found myself thinking of her sexually, I would tell myself, “No. That thought is inappropriate.” And then I would quickly engage in something else to occupy my mind. At first, it was difficult. After a few months I trained my brain to think of my wife as more of a “friend” and not to entertain sexual thoughts of her at all. During this time (about 5 months), she seemed completely oblivious to it. Recently, however, she tried to come on to me, and I rejected her. I wasn’t rude or anything, but I honestly just wasn’t in the mood (probably for the first time in decades, lol!). She wasn’t thrilled, but she seemed ok about it. The next day was a Saturday, and she was obviously feeling amorous, but I still wasn’t feeling up to it. Not that I couldn’t have, but it somehow just seemed like a step down for my self respect and self worth–like I would suddenly be no better than a dog waiting for scraps or Oliver Twist begging for another cup of gruel. It just didn’t feel right. I never said of that; I just politely turned her down and said I had some other things I was planning to do, which was actually true. That night, I found her crying in our bedroom. When I asked her what was wrong, she said it felt as through I didn’t love her anymore and that rejecting her really hurt her feelings. I assured her that I still love her as much as ever, but I did take the opportunity to explain how I had been feeling and how I was dealing with it. She did NOT take it well. She yelled, and cried, and accused me of cheating. She said I was being unfair to her and basically insinuated that if I didn’t want sex then there must be something wrong with her or with me, that I must be planning to leave her, or I’m hiding something. I was completely forthright with her and tried to get her to understand my position. I told her that it felt demoralizing for me to wait around like a concubine for months for her to be in the mood, and that it is time for me to start working on me. I honestly have no plans to leave her, and I told her so. But I also told her that I don’t have the ability to be a sometimes lover and it would eventually take an enormous toll on me. She accused me of throwing her sexually in her face and said she can’t help the way she is. I told her that I DO accept her for who she is, but I also need to be accepted for who I am. From there, it just seems like we talked in circles for the next 2 hours.Since then, she’s barely said a word to me, and it’s been about a week. I’m really starting to doubt myself and my actions here, and I’m starting to wonder if I really am wrong. via /r/amiwrong https://ift.tt/L5p6zrf

So far my LO (8 months) doesn’t tolerate the chewy texture of scrambled eggs, but I wanted him to get choline in his diet. I now make him baked custard regularly, which he absolutely gobbles down. I took an online dessert custard recipe and cut the sugar in half, though obviously you could completely omit it if you’re concerned about sugar intake.2 whole eggs2 cups whole milk1/4 tsp salt (optional)1/8 cup white sugar (optional)1/2 tsp non alcoholic vanilla extract (optional)1/8 tsp ground nutmeg or other spice (optional)1 tablespoon avocado oil (or other healthy oil)Whisk the eggs in a bowl with the avocado oil.Slowly heat the milk in a double boiler to 180°F using a instant read thermometer, stirring constantly. Or microwave in a glass container in 15 second intervals, stirring and checking the temp each time. This “scalding” of the milk is optional, but it should make a smoother texture.Slowly pour the hot milk into the eggs while mixing with a whisk. Add whatever spices you feel comfortable with. Add the salt and sugar. Mix well.Pour the custard into 4 oven safe ramekins or a small baking dish and bake on 350 for 30-40 minutes, checking for doneness after 30 minutes. You can use a water bath (boiled water in a larger pan, surrounding the ramekins), but I have not found it makes a huge difference. The custard is done when the liquid forms a jiggly gel, a butter knife comes out clean, and the temp inside reaches 160° F.Chill and serve cold or warm. Freeze any custard that will not be eaten in 5 days.Notes:Use whole milk. Babies need all the fat they can get! Giving your baby low fat milk or yogurt is pointless and will not help them maintain a healthy weight now or later in life.Giving a baby sugar isn’t recommended because some studies have linked early sugar intake to later obesity. I don’t personally believe this, and think the research probably found a specious link between parents who give their kids a poor diet in general to their later obesity.Use non alcoholic vanilla if you’re worried about the alcohol not cooking out.Adding a healthy oil isn’t necessary, but again, babies need all the fats they can get.Fresh ground nutmeg is AMAZING compared to pre-ground, plus ground spices may contain lead (google baby applesauce lead). Other spice substitutions include cinnamon, cardamom, allspice or cloves.While the custard can be frozen, it will lose some liquid when it thaws since ice crystals puncture the protein matrix which holds the milk in a colloid. This recipe can be cut in half, using 1 egg, 1 cup milk and 2 ramekins if you’re worried about making too much. via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/fYynCOx

It’s been 2 months since I fully weaned and I went through the worst hormonal crash, the worst experience of my life. Doctors don’t know what’s happening to me, blood tests showed all healthy numbers, my thyroid is fine, no diabetes, no deficiencies, blood pressure is great, heart function is great. The only thing that’s responsible for my health issues was caused by weaning. My recommendation is DONT wean. Let your child decide when to wean, I weaned my first at 3.5 years and never went through any of this. It was a very gradual process led by her. via /r/breastfeeding https://ift.tt/tfEBykv

I’m 29F, and I’ve had hyperhidrosis most of my life. When I was a teen it was mainly my arm pits, but as I’ve gotten older it has spread to my arm pits, back, under boob, and groin. I know the common spots are the arm pits, hands, and feet, but oddly my hands and feet are fine. I wear mostly black because I’m so insecure about it but I’m so sick of it. It is truly impacting my quality of life. When I work out, my leggings always get that “I peed my pants” look and I start sweating so quickly.I have tried every option I can think of to try to help. I’ve tried changing my diet, managing my stress and anxiety, taking sage supplements, Apple Cider Vinegar, extra strength and prescription antiperspirant, you name it, I’ve tried it. I’ve also tried cutting out caffeine and all it did was leave me tired and sweaty lolI am also in the process of building my health care team, and when trying out a new PCP, I asked her about it and she had no options for me other than surgery, but she really was no help and I’m still shopping for a PCP that I like.Before I was between doctors, my previous doctor recommended a topical treatment, Sweat Block, that does help, but she said it shouldn’t be used daily because the chemicals in it are not good for you… while that comes in handy for special occasions… I need something that helps all the time. I have heard people have great results from taking the oral medication Glycopyrrolate, and I prefer to avoid medications if I don’t need to take them, but I’m so desperate at this point that I’m ready to consider a medication if it really would solve this issue.I have heard of Botox and Mira dry but because this happens in so many spots on my body, those treatments would only solve the arm pit issue and it’s more than that.I was traveling recently and I was in some thin sweat pants and a thin cropped hoodie at the airport and started sweating so badly that I had to buy a t shirt from one of the stores at the airport because I was sweating through my top and the crotch of my sweat pants… and like I said, these weren’t super thick clothes. It’s so embarrassing and I try to joke about it and make it humorous but I really does embarrass me to my core and it’s emotionally painful.Has anyone found any OTC treatment that helps extreme hyperhidrosis? Has anyone gone to a dermatologist for this issue and they helped resolve the issue? I’m literally so desperate I could cry about it. It’s been this was as long as I can remember and I just can’t do it anymore.As I write this, I’m at a work thing and my back is damp and where my hips and thighs crease when you sit, my leggings are soaked… Any suggestions or honestly, even just compassion and understanding are greatly appreciate 💕 via /r/Hyperhidrosis https://ift.tt/wUza8NP
