This is completely unrelated to anything else on this thread but I'm avoiding cleaning right now so I want to play... My confession is that I ate my placenta. In a smoothie (well several smoothies). Raw.

Wow, how was it? I thought about encapsulation but just couldn't bring myself to do it.

OK, am I missing the awards post? I tried looking for it but can't find it. I'm sure I'm just overlooking....

LMAO!

No...really?

Yep. The group of midwives I was seeing had a lot of good anecdotal evidence, other cultures do it, and other mammals do it. I was going to have it encapsulated but that didn't pan out so I looked up recipes for placenta and picked the one with the most ingredients. I think it helped at least with ppd. I was a basket case the first few days before I had it. It was a tough mental block to overcome.

Whoa! No disrespect here at all. Just whoa.

In Asia, they sell them for skin care! "Hidden market" though, I think.

oh I have one since this is FFFC.

I haven't really looked into sleep training but I sort of think of the really structured training as a waste and unnecessary stressor. Blame it on my go with the flow attitude on sleep but I think a baby will STTN when they are ready and that sleep training isnt really doing it but more a coincidence that they just so happened to need a little tweaking in schedule (not to be confused with strict planning) or they were just ready.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but I think this is really easy to say when your baby sleeps well at night Macy turned 5 months old today, and has sttn (and by that, I mean 7 hours) ONE time, ever. We have a great bed time routine, I do anything and everything to get her to nap, I've tweaked her schedule many times, but nothing is working. I haven't slept in 5 months. I am desperate, so we are definitely trying sleep training (the no-cry version), and if it gets me some sleep, it won't be a waste of time!

I also tend to roll my eyes with the whole popularity thing, which is why I didn't even bother getting a labor buddy. I think I am a pretty "regular" poster, but I'm not sure that anyone would notice if I disappeared.

you're probably right. She hasn't always STTN though. When we were having sleep problems a while back I looked into doing a loose EASY and I think it caused me more stress worrying about her nap timing. When I decided to just go with the flow it got better.

I have another one.

I am posting a lot today because I am at work and haven't had a client since I came in at 8am today. It is now a little past 11am. I should be reading some training material instead but I feel like today I am finally catching up and getting my Bumping fix!

The smoothie recipe was really yummy and I would eat it for fun ( minus the placenta). It did a good job of masking the taste and texture. One batch was extra... Irony tasting. Like my mouth was bleeding or something. That one was a bit unpleasant.

Nope, totally not flaming and more power to ya, but also *gag*. I couldn't even bring myself to look at my placenta when the doctor asked if I wanted to after delivery. Then he asked my husband if HE would like to see it and I politely declined for him LOL...I didn't even want my husband to LOOK down there during the birth, let alone see my placenta!! Ick!

My FFFC is definitely on this whole stupid "popular" crap:

From someone who is not "popular" on here and has never even thought about this once.....who CARES!? I've gotten on a couple times today and all everyone seems to talk about are popular posters, awards, apologies for not getting awards, not enough views on posts, etc. Really?!? Who notices this crap or has the time to be bothered by it? Aren't we all on here to ask about baby stuff or get support on things we're struggling with or announce things we're proud of? I love getting on to read about BABY STUFF or NBR stuff that's not this lame complaining. We should have a poll to see the age group of our board...would explain things.

Yes

Kimbo, I have to call you out here. Was it really necessary to write ANOTHER post to apologize for the awards post, after already making a post here about it?

We are grown women, not small children to be coddled. If someone's feeling are hurt, discuss it frankly, don't obsess with being overly PC and sugary. You can't be friends with everyone, you can't make everyone happy, it's a wasted effort to try.

At the same time, some ladies need to pull up their BGP and remember that highschool is firmly planted in the past, where it belongs. This is not a popularity contest. It doesn't matter if you have 1 or 50 replies to a post. If you are posting to share something, be happy if it gets even 1 view. If you are posting a question, be satisfied with 1 reply, or do the digging to find the same post from a previous June '11 mom who undoubtedly already posted it before you.

Ladies, please feel free to let your AW freak flag fly on wednesdays for HDBD, but please keep that beast caged for the rest of the week.

My FFFC: I don't have any set schedule for Brendan, I don't record his sleep times, I don't stress over every detail of his adorable little existence. I go with the natural flow, and I like it that way. I've never read a baby book, and I think all of you ladies talking about sleep training are speaking a foreign language.

THank you! I don't get all the research and all the stressing. You child is not going to go to college never STTN, your child is also not going to die because you fed them or didnt feed them cereal, blanket no blanket...who the heck cares? Do what's right for your child I'll do with mine. But I'm def not going to let some author who wrote some book on the subject dictate how and when I do things with MY children. My 3 year old came out perfectly fine (as of now) he's extremely smart (we've had teachers tell us over and over that their students cant do or understand half the things he does) and I didn't even touch a baby book. But if you want to research and read by all means go right ahead. But I think too many people take what these people write as the law, you'll drive yourself mad if you stress over doing everything the books suggest. I'd also bet on every possible tobic you will find one book that says one thing and another book that says the exact opposite.

This is me as well. I'm a pretty terrible sarcastic snarky woman and I love it. You should here me talk back to the tv when characters in shows/movies do something dumb or that I disagree with. It's pretty hilarious. For example, everytime people get hurt on star trek from crashing or some form of disturbance in their inertial dampeners, I yell "Seatbelts you fu*ktards!" Surprise

amanda1680 · October 2011

I have another... I HATE it when people say "your kid isn't going to college doing x, y, and z, so why worry about it?" Ok, sure, but that doesn't mean I want to wait possibly years before they just randomly decide to stop doing x, y, and z, when I can actively try to improve the situation now. If that even makes sense. That is all

No you're right but what about the people who are like "OMG my baby is 4 months and isn't rolling over?" It will happen. I'm not going to stress over things that I know will happen eventually and on their own time. No sense getting all worked up over things like that....that was more my point. Do what you can to help them...but don't get all worked up and worried about it.

bookkitten · October 2011

I have a few -

I am still sleeping with my son - on a futon in his room - and I pretty much hate it. I mean, I love the sleep (he only partially wakes around 2am to eat; I put a boob in his mouth and we both go back to sleep) but I miss my bed and my husband. Extra frustrating since the "plan" was to have him in his crib from night #1. Ha! He screams every time we try that. I get the Family Bed thing and have no philosophical opposition, but I think I am too selfish for it. I also hate telling people because I always feel a little judged - by those who disapprove for doing it and by those who approve for not loving it. Can't wait until he gets a little older so we can do sleep-training!

Also, it makes me sad that in the past week I have seen BF Mamas post about introducing formula and apologizing for feeling sad about it. Despite last week's FF v, BF debacle, it's okay to feel sad that your days of BF may be ending and that you're starting formula. Your feelings don't mean you villify formula or judge Mamas who FF and I don't think you should have to pre-emptively apologize.

IMO, the following are examples of flaming:

"oh em gee, I can't believe you are giving your baby formula/cereal/mcdonalds/crack, that's awful, you're a horrible mom!"

"_____, you are a biznatch for saying you can't stand your MIL/DH/milkman/ ups guy. You should be nicer, blah blah blah."

What I did was ask a question, and then pose a reminder to you wonderful ladies. But even if it is construed as flaming, I don't really care. Just because the title says FFFC doesn't mean there will be absolutely no debate or 'flaming.' If you post something on the internet, expect it to be seen, expect it to be commented on, and expect someone, somewhere, to disagree wholeheartedly with it.

As a side note, I always felt the flame free portion of FFFC was more to the point of not flaming someone for their actual confession, as opposed to their replies to someone else? Any thoughts?

I guess the "maybe some people need to their big girl panties on" comment felt like that yes. I wasn't trying to make anyone mad which apparently I did. I was saying I agree I too feel like an 8th grader and feel silly for being a little jealous. I didn't really ask for the "you are acting like a silly 8th grader for feeling a little jealous" comments. I was over it a long time ago. I just wasn't prepared to have to defend myself because I didn't think it would be a big deal

absoluteremix · October 2011

Ok I have one finally. I stopped breast feeding at 2 months. I wish I had done it longer and lately really wish I could breast feed her again. I miss it. I've decided that my next baby I will try harder to breast feed longer and try all the things to help boost my supply.

On that note, I'm pretty sure that switching to formula is what started Claire on sttn. She always only woke up once a night to eat, but once we switched to formula full time she stopped waking up to eat at night. I assume it's bc formula is supposed to make a baby feel full longer. So I'm thankful for the sleeping but I really miss breast feeding!

Go ahead and flame me. My feelings aren't hurt. Scarlett, I don't think I made a post on FFFC apologizing. I went straight for the new one hoping it wouldn't over take this one. If I did, I've already forgotten about it.

And I don't consider my apology coddling.

When we were all pregnant there were a lot of very righteous posts. There was also a lot of judgement with women who "can't" BF or claimed it was so hard, and a whole other slew of judgmental opinions that simply came from lack of personal experince.
Supermom: I think I may have been one of these. I have never forgotten it and I think I really offended you. Unfortunately, I don't think you ever saw my apology and explanation. I think it was a FFFC day. I made a comment about how it bothers me that so many women say they FF feed because they "couldn't BF" when in reality only 2% of women cannot physically BF. I DID NOT explain myself well. You responded saying how posts like these bother you because you tried everything and was still unsuccessful with your first and how it just broke your heart.
The story of your struggles with DS1 is a great example of why it bothers me so much. What I should have said was that it bothers me when people say they couldn't when they may not have tried as hard as I know others do and that I wish people didn't feel the need to justify why they FF because it shouldn't matter to anyone else why they are doing what they are doing. It is no one's business but their own as to why they are feeding the way they are and I wish people wouldn't feel so guilty about their decision.
If I were truly unable to BF, it would sincerely bother me if someone who only tried for 2 weeks told me they were "unable to."
I hope I explained myself well and didn't dig myself deeper.
Anyway, please forgive me! I meant no ill will.

No worries Kimbo! Totally water under the bridge :0)

Sazhrah · October 2011

I didn't originally read the "bumpie awards" post until today after opening the "apology" post but, I will openly admit that I like being concidered one of the popular bumpies.

Not because this is a popularity contest but because (another confession here) almost all of my socializing is online. I hate most people where I live and I get judged all.the.damn.time for the way I look (this is my own doing and fault but it sucks nonetheless). It is nice to know that people like what I have to say without the stigma of my looks. I was known so long just as a dancer and the facade I had to put on for that, that it is nice to be liked for just being me.

I also love being a hippie, crunchy mom! I feel like I do so much better by my son than I did with my daughter which makes me feel guilty as well.

I now fit back into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes so I am taking more time to look nice each day. I really try hard to be a MILF (in a goth way). I even wore a corset the other day just because I could.

I used to be an educated person that kept up with current events. I didn't even know about Occupy Wall Street until it was well under way and have no idea what they are protesting. I did what I said I wouldn't do and became fully absorbed by my baby and I love it.
I'm the same way. I used to read the news all day long in between calls at work, and knew everything going on. I actually used to pride myself on being that person who made the original FB post that got shared a million times when something big happened.
Now... I have no clue somethings happened unless someone tells me about it, or it's all over FB. I have a friend who's been taking part in the Occupy movement, and I still didn't bother looking it up until 2 days ago.

*ETA: Ooops! Forgot my own FFC. Since I've had D, I get more turned on by girl-on-girl stuff than anything else. Half the time, when DH and I have sex, I'm thinking about lesbians.

When I watch porn with DH I'm only willing to watch lesbian porn.

It's pretty hilarious. For example, everytime people get hurt on star trek from crashing or some form of disturbance in their inertial dampeners, I yell "Seatbelts you fu*ktards!"

Omg I'm so like that. When I watch cheesy scary movies ( Scream is my favorite) I try to tell them to run but they just don't listen so I end yelling at them for gettin their dumba$$e$ cut up.

Sazhrah:
I didn't originally read the "bumpie awards" post until today after opening the "apology" post but, I will openly admit that I like being concidered one of the popular bumpies.

Not because this is a popularity contest but because (another confession here) almost all of my socializing is online. I hate most people where I live and I get judged all.the.damn.time for the way I look (this is my own doing and fault but it sucks nonetheless). It is nice to know that people like what I have to say without the stigma of my looks. I was known so long just as a dancer and the facade I had to put on for that, that it is nice to be liked for just being me.

I also love being a hippie, crunchy mom! I feel like I do so much better by my son than I did with my daughter which makes me feel guilty as well.

I now fit back into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes so I am taking more time to look nice each day. I really try hard to be a MILF (in a goth way). I even wore a corset the other day just because I could.

I think you are gorgeous and a total MILF!

My FFFC is that I LOVE it when there's drama on the board!! I'm just so sick of everyone being fake & nice!! I would love to see more true personalities on here!! Also, to all you worried about being popular, who gives a rats a$$?!? I'm on here every single day, but have a hard time keeping up while working FT & dealing with my twins. I don't have time to answer or respond to every single post & I definitely don't get butt hurt when I don't get enough responses. So get over it!! I'm also sick of research. I can't believe half of you girls let some author or statistics get involved with how you raise your child. sometimes it makes me wonder how you live your lives day to day!! Put down the books, turn off the PC, & spend some time with your LO!! That's all folks!!

Want a personalized experience?

FFFC!
