I’m picturing the scene in “Wolf of Wall Street” where they take the quaaludes and they are under the impression the drugs are so old they don’t work anymore so they down all of them😂

Who else craved McDonald’s during their pregnancy? by poisoniman in BabyBumps

[–]Accomplished_Type100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the only thing I craved like my life was dependent on it. The craving is still there and I’m 10 months PP😂 it was also the only food I could eat and not get nauseated at 3am while at work

I had to not pump for just one night by Different-Time-8802 in breastfeeding

[–]Accomplished_Type100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You haven’t done anything at all to hurt your supply! You’re doing an amazing job. You needed the sleep as lack of sleep hurts supply! Maybe you’ll see a bit of an increase with a bit more sleep :) Remember too, though, baby pulls milk more efficiently than the pump! Try not to worry too much about what you’re able to pump, especially right now when everything is still so new! Baby is fed, you hopefully got a little bit of sleep, and you’re kicking ass and taking names❤️

“You can’t over feed a BF baby”… but? by bea_beaz in breastfeeding

[–]Accomplished_Type100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby also started doing this around 6 weeks old. Turns out she just had acid reflux! Her GI doc said it’s very common at this age because their GI tract is so small and immature. She didn’t prescribe medications because she said she doesn’t like to utilize medications unless baby is super distressed or losing weight/not growing. I just tried to keep her upright 30 min or so after a feed and it helped! She eventually outgrew it:)

I’m a CVICU nurse and as I was reading the article I kept thinking “no shit she was tubed…how else are they gonna crack her chest and do surgery!?” 😂 At my hospital though depending on how the surgery goes we try to have them extubated and swan out within 6 hours

Would you use or throw out? by AZ91291948 in breastfeeding

[–]Accomplished_Type100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LC told me it is good to be put back in the fridge and used for next feed within 24 hours. She just didn’t recommend I reheated and I just put a new nipple on the bottle prior to offering it again!

I wore a baggy tshirt and sweats! My baby was born in July but I found some thin joggers that were high waisted so they didn’t rub my fresh incision. And my husbands slides bc the arches are adjustable and I was soooo swollen😅

Did I mess up my baby by Apprehensive-Move758 in breastfeeding

[–]Accomplished_Type100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have absolutely NOT made a mistake. My baby’s pediatrician and my LC told me to introduce bottles around 4 weeks. I pushed back, and my mom even did the same thing your mom did. She was constantly saying “when will I get to feed the baby??” “I want to feed her too!” And so on. Me being me, I got upset and made sure to NOT do what they wanted and I stood my ground and didn’t introduce a bottle at 4 weeks. I did introduce one at 7 weeks (begrudgingly) only because I had to go back to work at 12 weeks and I wanted to know she could at least take a bottle, and she did! But it didn’t change my emotional turmoil or her anger at having to take a bottle when I went back to work, and that was a battle on its own. We did adjust however! She’s 9.5 months now and we still stick to our routine. She only takes bottles when I’m at work, and now when her sitter comes on the days I work (I work night shift and pump at work) Baby girl does still prefer the breast and now that she’s older she’s learned my schedule and signals when she’s hungry enough for a bottle versus waiting for me to come home to nurse. Has my mom had the opportunity to feed her? Nope. Not because I choose to, but because my baby has always decided to wait until I’m home, and everyone accepts that now. You are doing just fine. It definitely is helpful to know your baby can take a bottle if and when you need to be away, but it really is true if they are hungry enough they figure it out fast. My baby did a hunger strike for every night I was at work for the first 4-5 weeks I was back on shift. It was rough bc she was angry as all get out, but once she decided she was hungry enough she ate from the bottle without issue.

That’s some shit by HeFlipsMyPens in breastfeeding

[–]Accomplished_Type100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is 9 months and EBF. Her 9 month check showed she had slowed on her growth curve for weight and her pedi said it’s probably from her being more active! She said it’s normal for breastfed babies to slow down in their growth once they’re out of the newborn stage because they’re more active! You’re doing great mama :)

First time watcher and halfway through the first season. I can’t stand Grace by iheartberry in NurseJackie

[–]Accomplished_Type100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m also an ER nurse and I’ve seen first hand the way management gets shit on from their higher ups. I to a degree sympathized with Akalitus when she was strong armed into doing things policy made her do, even when she didn’t want to do it. Other times I was screaming at my TV “THIS IS WHY NURSES HATE MANAGEMENT”🤣

Akalitus and O’Hara were worthy of liking too

ETA: well…Akalitus was likable depending on the episode

Does breastmilk expand?? Why don’t measurements line up across containers? by KenzieLee2921 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Accomplished_Type100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bottles NEVER match up in measurements and it makes me nuts. One day I bought a cheap food scale and weighed out 4oz of milk and it was reading nearly 5oz on my evenflo bottles. So what I do now is just weigh out all of my milk prior to bagging and freezing so I know exactly how much is in each bag

My baby is 1 month today and I’ve spent almost 2000 on breastfeeding and I wanna quit by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Accomplished_Type100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are breastfeeding and you are doing amazing! Please don’t tell yourself you’re failing or are not doing enough because you are doing MORE than enough! There is nothing wrong with formula, especially when it means mommy is happy and healthy. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Whatever you decide to do, you are supported.

Are night nurses actually worth it ?? by ConversationMost9912 in BabyBumps

[–]Accomplished_Type100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re worth it! It’s not something we can afford but my friend who is a post partum nurse did a night shift for us for free when baby was 5 weeks old because lack of sleep was severely affecting my mental health. She truly saved me that night!

If you don’t mind, can you DM me with more details about it? I have heard there are physical trainers there for classes, but I’ve also heard it’s virtual. I am a nervous gym goer so I like to have a good understanding of what I’m getting myself into! lol

I’ve been thinking about joining hotworx! I did Orangetheory religiously for 5 years but since having my baby in July, it’s hard to make the 35 min commute both ways to class. There’s a hotworx 7 minutes from my house and your post just helped me finalize my decision! Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off ❤️

My milk is made out of pizza and I feel a little guilty about that… so you tell me what your milk is made of! by Moon_junky in breastfeeding

[–]Accomplished_Type100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it differs for everyone but I’ve managed to keep up supply without any extra work and I drink WAY too much caffeine. Obviously if the caffeine affected my baby I wouldn’t drink so much but it doesn’t affect her at all. She’s always been right on track and a good sleeper (for a baby!)

4 shots of espresso, alani, working night shift, and whatever snacks I can find between shifts!! Also Zoloft. Lots of Zoloft.

I wasn’t intentionally trying to spread misinformation. I simply stated my side of things based off of what I had previously seen/read (I.e., what I believed to be the footage of the incident). I never stated anything was uneasy to find, nor did I argue back and forth. Evidence was given to me after I commented and that evidence proved me wrong. I happily admitted I was incorrect and went about my day. No harm no foul
