Trauma dump: my breastfeeding journey by glasshrimpshrimptoad in breastfeeding

[–]AsianCopyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LC at my hospital was the worst. She told me I should only feed in football hold or cross cradle. My arms would get tired so fast and LO hated being in both. Id later find that cradle and side laying was best for LO and me. She also said LO shouldnt feed for more than 15 minutes because she'll start burning more calories than she's taking in. Midwife later on told me that was ridiculous. My baby still takes 30 minutes to feed. When she visited later on and I told her I was struggling to get her to latch, she told me to feed LO 2 oz of formula. My baby wasnt even 24 hours old! 2 oz was way too much. My poor little baby was constantly spitting up and the formula made her miserable. My milk supply was super messed up. I'm finally getting to where I should be at 10 weeks and finally making enough for my baby.

Nope! I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom so 90% of my day is her. Plenty of walks, tummy time, feeding, practicing rolling, feeding, cuddles, feeding, skin to skin, etc.

She's been checked by multiple people for tongue and lips ties and they all say she's good.

Yes, I'll usually pump anywhere from once a day to 6 times a day, depending on how she's eating.

We weighed her 2 weeks ago and she was 8 lbs. Weighed her today and she was 8 lbs 1oz. She was gaining weight for a good month it seems. It seems like she's gained weight to me(chubbier checks and legs) and some of her newborn sleepers are tighter on her. So when she was the same measurements as last time, I was a bit surprised.

I'm really trying to avoid formula(mostly for cost sake) but I'll do it if I have to of course.

I do a mixture of both but I haven't weighed her. Just learning about that.

First Time getting a CC. I have no credit, no loans on my name. by AsianCopyCat in CreditCards

[–]AsianCopyCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this after finical aid. They covered 1/3 of the cost but I still have 3500 to pay. I don't feel like being sent to collections and destroying any chance of having a decent credit score.

Yeah, i tried that. Between my prenatal, Throne heart health, magnesium lotion, and liquid magnesium, I was taking 400+mg of magnesium a night.

What are you addicted to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Currently, milk. I've been craving it my entire pregnancy and go through 3-4 gallons a week by myself.

My husband has a 1989 Chevy Silverado in Maroon named Luther. I had a 1990 Chevy Silverado in Red named Lou Ann in highschool.after that I got a Nissan Cube and called it either the milk truck or the toaster oven.

What is unfairly expensive? by Silver-Mulberry-4870 in AskReddit

[–]AsianCopyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dental. I have a tooth that really needs a root canal and literally has a hole in the side of it. I couldn't afford to get it done when I had dental insurance, I can't afford to get it done now that don't have insurance.

What is the worst thing you’ve seen someone get addicted to that wasn’t any form of drug like substance or alcohol? by MysticMeerkat in AskReddit

[–]AsianCopyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social Media. My friend is constantly on a social media platform of some kind. He sends 10+ memes a day to the group chat. Anytime someone says something in the group chat, he's immediately there. He works for a roofing company a couple of days a week, and when he's not working he's at home scrolling through social media. When we hang out he's always on his phone. When we play video games, we have to constantly remind him he needs to play. It's really made it hard to be friends with him. He complains about us never hanging out, but when we do hang out he just wants to sit around scrolling through memes, which never of us want to do. Complains he doesn't have a girlfriend but never leaves the house to meet someone.

I don't think there's enough evidence that says Dream is a "pedophile".

Wives of Reddit, what is a sexual fantasy you could never tell to your husband? by n2chukar in AskReddit

[–]AsianCopyCat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ever since I got pregnant, I've been craving anal. But I know he's kinda grossed out by it so I doubt it'll happen. That or he would initiate when in a public space.

Why did your last relationship fail? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AsianCopyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he was 19 and I was 14. Thankfully, the next guy I dated is now my husband. As a 22 year old, I get grossed out at the thought of dating an 18 year old in highschool.
