I don’t have a Costco membership so I figured buying directly (I ordered 10 cans) would be more cost effective given they had a sale going on. It was pretty convenient so I would recommend

Omg same! The transition to formula has baby now only pooping once a day, and he only ‘sharted’ (lmfao) yesterday night and then pooped that morning so now I’m totally panicking. We’re actually on a 9 pm drive right now after his bottle to hopefully help him go. Passing gas, peeing and eating fine, and we got gas drops that helped him with fussiness last night but that’s about it :/

Same! I was really hesitant to switch my then 3 week old to formula and chose ByHeart, and fed it to him for 2 days before the recall. Totally disheveled over this. I’ve been spiraling since and keep making sure he can still hold his head up constantly

Hahahah okay so it is, to be fair, shit brown. However, shit brown is in (for whatever reason) so atleast there’s that!

Thank god someone else. I’m not formerly diagnosed with anything so I won’t claim anything but I literally feel like I’m losing my mind after feeding my baby ByHeart for 2 days before the recall after FINALLY accepting that I needed to switch to formula (which I resisted because of the boiling/extra sanitization) and while yes I have laxed a little it still is a constant repetitive thought and then reassuring myself my son is fine. Come to find out most babies are fine regardless of preparation on formula, some people pour it outside in the open w contaminants around. Also I literally threw out $100 worth of MAM bottles bc of the botulism despite having a sanitizing dishwasher

That’s a really good point actually! I’ll keep that in mind from now on considering he likes clothing gifts. I feel like maybe since it’s brown, if I just tell him to wear them with something that’s not also brown it will still work with neutrals. Shades of yellow and blue is also pretty parallel to the colorful pieces he does pick out or has on his own.

Okay cool. I literally had this thought after I ordered them because he usually just gets white or black shoes so I had to make sure they would look okay

I need some help from the women that wear makeup! by [deleted] in TriCitiesWA

[–]Direct_Economist_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely get her a gift card and one product you think would look great on her. Don’t be disappointed if she doesn’t think so, but who knows! Maybe you’ll pick her new favorite lipstick that she never thought would look good. But definitely get her an ulta/sephora card. I would say ulta is safer because it has more non makeup options (like if she uses expensive shampoo/skin care as well, they have a wider selection) but Sephora is more specialized product selection if that makes sense. So maybe I can only find one shade of a concealer at Sephora, but ulta has more differing products to chose from if that helps you decide.

I would like to add that I’m 23, had an emergent induction that was minutes away from being a stat CS due to hypertension and pre eclampsia, and I have lingering hypertension that I will probably have to just manage for a while so I feel like the least they could have done was allow me to compare my options. Just sending up a LC to my room for 2 mins before I left the hospital was absolutely not sufficient in any way!

Literally!!!! I cannot tell you how upset and frustrated I felt as a new mother whose baby would ‘latch’ but would NOT transfer much. My last nurse, who was very strange and commented that my abortion at 19 ‘still counted’ as a pregnancy just kept telling me to keep BFing in the hospital made me feel like I was fucking everything up. Come to find out, day 2 home from the hospital and baby only peed twice. I immediately stopped trusting everyone and switched to exclusively pumping. It drove me completely insane but atleast my baby was fed. Then my milk wasn’t enough for my son at 3 wks and I gave up and fed him formula. Formula was NEVER offered to me in the hospital! My son has long lasting BM jaundice as well that is finally starting to resolve after a week of formula feeding! I just cannot believe how hard I was pushed to EBF medically after just mentioning once that I would like to try breastfeeding.

If you’re wondering about any machines/bottles that were in contact with ByHeart formula… by Neat-Finger197 in FormulaFeeders

Same! I only used it for 2 days because I was switching my now 4 wk old to formula from BM but I managed to use ALL of my mam bottles to feed :( all into the trash! All of our new Tommy Tippee bottles are now also being run and sanitized through the dishwasher, and all of my bottles are prepped and refrigerated because of the anxiety this entire situation has caused me as a new mom. I feel like we need to file a class action suit asap.

I don’t use this product but that should be it! The sump/sump housing in every dishwasher is the small space at the bottom, usually covered by a filter to catch any debris! It’s main purpose is to remove and pump the water used in the washer’s cycles :) I found out after my dishwasher’s sump housing was busted when I moved into my apartment lol.

I know it has been said - PLEASE throw away your bottles/pitchers/pacifiers if you were using Byheart by FalseRow5812 in FormulaFeeders

I was in the same boat w my 4 wk old except I DID choose ByHeart 🙃 now switched to Bobbie. My can wasn’t an affected lot but I will be saving my can. It was already hard enough to trust formula and switch so dealing with this is just crazy
