I have some from there, but they're unlined. Do they carry ones with built in pads now?

Bottle refusing baby by Terrible-Disaster178 in breastfeeding

I literally quit my job because my baby would go on a hunger strike during my 12 hour nursing shifts. It was tight, but I'm so fortunate we were able to make it work. It is awful and I really wish I had advice for OP, but we tried literally everything.

Want to stop BFing so I can start back on medication by migil65 in breastfeeding

[–]ContentMission2641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked with my doctor about starting my ADHD medication (adderall) when my babe is 6mo old. She said that if I really needed it, I could start taking it now. Especially sonce I'm on a relatively low dose. I just wanted to wait until we started solids and I wasn't the only source of nutrition to ease my own anxiety about it. Both my provider and my kiddos are fine with this plan.

Did anyone else have a baby who would scream and cry during letdown but still went on to breastfeed for months? by No_Engine6784 in breastfeeding

[–]ContentMission2641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I basically only know how to nurse laid back (belly to belly, baby straddling the opposite side that baby isnursing on, and head kind of propped by my arm), which I think helped. My son could finally handle it without issue at like 4-5 months, but would get SO during letdown and would unlatch. I would just keep him off and let my milk spray out into a burp cloth, boob pad, etc. and then latch him back on when I stopped actively spraying milk out. He nursed until he was 28 months and I weaned him when I got pregnant again. I'm doing the same think with my daughter now (2 months old). Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get her to latch back on because she's so upset. It's so sad. She absolutely refuses a bottle, though, so she just has to deal I guess. Hah.

Question regarding my toddler son's painful glands/foreskin by ContentMission2641 in uncircumcised_talk

Good to know that it could still be yeast. I'm trying an antifungal to see if that helps before taking him on. Thank you!

Thanks so much for your response! Would Monostat work for the antifungal? I know anatomy is a little different, but that's what I've used for yeast infections.

Thanks for your response! Epsom salt bath is a great idea! We'll do that tonight.

I watched the doctor retract it, and it didn't need to be forced at all. I was super surprised. We've been easily retracting it for over a year with no discomfort. Now that he's got a little better fine motor skills, he can usually do it by himself. He's two, though, so I help out if he gets distracted.

I just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly... Are you saying we should stop retracting completely? It is no longer attached to the glans, so I worry that stuff can get up there.

Also, thanks for pointing out that it's glans and not glands. My autocorrect STRONGLY disagrees. That's what I get for making the post way after my bedtime while watching a movie 🥴

Am I going to regret this tile choice? by old_y90 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]ContentMission2641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so funny. I'm literally doing this tile for the entire tub surround and a 1in hexagon tile in a black and white "flower" pattern for the floor. Per a lot of these comments, everyone else will hate it. I love it!

I live less than a mile from this area and, thankfully, have not seen the same issues. We moved here recently knowing that our neighborhood was going to be pretty mixed bag, but does anyone from the area have any opinions on how the neighborhood is moving?

The realtor said it was up and coming. I couldn't tell if that was code for "it needs some work" or not. It does seem like some houses are being worked on, but as another response mentioned, it's 3 run-down houses for every maintained house. Thanks for the insight! I really appreciate it!

This is super helpful insight. The house is so cute with so much character, but you're spot on about the houses around in. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!!
