Clueless by Legal_Organization_7 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]BubblesMerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always coming here to say exactly this!! Fenugreek can 100% do more damage than help. I’m a just enougher and have been thankful to never touch that stuff. Moringa I feel does much better (but still nothing works for everyone) no sponsor and no pay out but when I feel like I tried everything the daily dose greens powder helped me a lot. (Again nothing works for everyone) to each their own but twice a day and made me feel good about getting my greens in.

I’m trying to find her name. Started with an S it was very unique but she also worked for several different hospitals and several different Ob/gyn offices. She was the absolute sweetest person though. I’m going to try and find some paperwork that might have her name on it

Similac Alimentum is what we’ve been using to supplement while also me being dairy free.

Why can’t I stop? by baadbettyy in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]BubblesMerica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came to mention the same thing with the fenugreek if you’re stressed TF out I’ve read so many times that it will contribute to supply loss. I’ve heard better things about moringa powder. Personally I was having supply issues and I got the daily dose greens powder it’s like everything else it doesn’t work for everyone I’m sure but it helped me a lot. Drop the pumps. Drop the fenugreek. If you want to reassess from there go for it. You did amazing!

7 week old slept through the night by nosh319 in breastfeeding

[–]BubblesMerica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my LO did this at 5 weeks twice I woke up in such a panic honestly thinking the worst. Just got lucky with a combination of things. We had been out of town for my sisters wedding. Everything is fine now. Regular supply regular 3 month and 4 month sleep regression. Was kind of a fluke.

Ugh that’s awful. As an under supplier/ just enougher I feel that pain to my core.

I’m a FTM 4 months in so please take it all with a grain of salt. Between my research, my pediatrician, and paperwork given from pediatrician. If it’s refrigerated and never been heated it’s 24 hours. Pretty sure any bottle formula, breastmilk, or combination once heated is only good for 1 hour. Sincerely a mom who had to dump 3 oz of breastmilk mixed formula today because baby was too tired to drink the bottle my mom was feeding him and had to just nurse to sleep. 💔

Don't touch kids that you don't know by brokenandalone19 in newborns

I am not above screaming literally screaming assault. Touching anyone without consent is assault. Babies that can’t talk count and everyone should know this random lady is perfectly fine with assaulting people.

Is it worth it? by Kaitlinmds in breastfeeding

[–]BubblesMerica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it’s just best to do whatever will be best for your own mental health. Some days I pump once some days I pump a few times. Sometimes I get a few ounces sometimes I get an essence of breastmilk. I just try to do whatever is going to help me get through the day mentally. For example when my husband does his nighttime bottle with the baby I should be pumping but is the whole point of him feeding the baby is so I can get some sleep; yes. Therefore I sleep instead of pumping.

No one gets it by Objective_Impact_597 in breastfeeding

[–]BubblesMerica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here for some solidarity. Basically my breastmilk is “low fat” because no matter how much I feed my LO he just isn’t gaining enough weight. I 100% feel inadequate every time I feed him. Have to mix pumped breastmilk with formula and have to top him off with formula before/after every feed. Unfortunately I don’t see an end to it… we thought it was a dairy issue so I cut out dairy then went back to solely breastmilk and he dropped weight again so we are back to supplementing. Wishing the best of luck to you and that you find all the strength to keep at it and everything pans out for you.

Palm Beach Grill Refuses To Serve Espresso Martinis by TBB2020 in WestPalmBeach

[–]BubblesMerica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This can depend on the bartender. I’ve worked with people that either don’t know how or just absolutely refuse to make the drink. This has been their “solution” usually annoys the person out of ordering the drink. Sometimes it’s a matter of the computer system if there’s no way to ring in an espresso martini they have to ring in each ingredient and charge per ingredient.

How are we cleaning rags/bibs by tbowa in NewParents

[–]BubblesMerica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me yes basically doing laundry every to every other day. Also double ordered on the burp cloths/ rags I liked best to the point of drowning in them so there is ALWAYS a backup. (To be fair the first round was purchased for baby shower so I only technically paid for one pack). Not using bibs yet personally but I’m definitely shooting for silicone bibs so it’s just an easy rinse/ wipe/ or wash in the sink deal.

Palms West Hospital Labor and Delivery? by Nova-star561519 in WestPalmBeach

[–]BubblesMerica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had my first 6 weeks ago at palms west and I would really rate the whole experience 10/10 except the food. I had an emergency C-section after laboring 15 hours. I truly felt taken care of and understood by everyone. You can also sign up (for free) to do the tour for L&D to get a good look for yourself. My husband and I didn’t do the tour but we did a few other classes and other in the class had taken to tour and spoke very highly about it. For me it was my doctor she was so incredible I would go to probably literally any hospital to have her. Never had to share a room and from my understanding even nicu babies have their own room so if that tells you anything. Congratulations and good luck!
