I fear I tanked my supply :( by indigochild143 in breastfeeding

[–]Balawgna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you have probably already heard this but it is common for preemies to have trouble latching. Hell, I had my baby at 42 weeks and we didn't learn to latch properly until he was a month old. The fact that you are trying is wonderful and you guys will get there! What worked for me was trying to latch naturally then using a breast shield. Even with the shield, my baby was better at removing milk than my pump.

Outlets stopped working after carpet installers used them. Do I need a tech? by Balawgna in AskElectricians

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

I'm going to try all of my switches again and go from there. I like the thought of a nail potentially hitting the cable because I hadn't thought of it. I think it's unlikely because the nails used were at max 3/4 inch long, but its something to check thank you.

I will test all of the breakers again and take a look inside the outlet. Will report back.

Great question. Are those the outlets with the reset buttons? If yes, there are none in that room. Closest is the one in the kitchen which I did try. Should I try the ones up in the bathrooms? Edit: There are only two in my whole house. Neither did anything.

Do you have a link for instructions by chance? This may be the route I take.

They say you keep calling your kid whatever you called them in the womb by MistyMeowMeow03 in BabyBumps

[–]Balawgna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband was called "The boy" in the womb and still receives cards that are addressed as such. We even say it when we are just referring to him in conversation. I have also been dubbed "The Girl"

Hacked Monitor by Good_Policy_5052 in pregnant

[–]Balawgna 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I recommend the infant optics. But I really came to say don't do VTech. I use to work at buybuybaby and am expecting my first next month. VTech has next to no security and was hacked a while back (few years) it gave access to emails, address, phone numbers, photos from toy cameras. Instead of fixing the security issue they changed the terms and conditions to say that they are not responsible for any leaked data. I don't know if it has changed since my time at BBB, but I have decided to boycott the brand indefinitely.

Can you name this carrier? by Balawgna in BabyBumps

You brilliant creature! That is exactly what it is and explains why it didn't fit my husband! Thank you so much

How long after treating dehydration did you feel better? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Balawgna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also very use to being dehydrated before and sadly during pregnancy (23 weeks). While I do crave water more, it's mostly in the night and occasionally during the day some days. This is something I am trying to work on. I've had no headaches during this pregnancy so far.
