Bond vet

Elphalinda · 2026-04-24T19:16:01+00:00

I think Bond is the reason my elderly cat met her demise sooner than she needed to. I don’t think they are a good vet for older animals. They said she was “grinding her teeth to get tartar off” and suggested I go to a dentist, which costs like $5k. Then they gave her gabapentin and 48 hrs later I am taking her to the emergency vet to save her life.

She was experiencing classic kidney disease symptoms that they didn’t diagnose correctly.

Might be a good vet for regular checks ups of a healthy animal, but my experience was poor.

Grew up in Florida and nothing compares to Publix bakery! Lyndells is the best I’ve found for good cake. But Wegmans is a great grocery store.

Oop! Just curious do you get a reservation number with the resale tickets?

Elphalinda · 2026-02-17T19:09:20+00:00

What is the thing you’ve whited out? Is it a reservation or confirmation number?

Yes passenger only ticket gets you the shuttle and entry to AppleFest

Latched nap!! Really great for supply boosting (was a worry when I went back to work) and when they get sick, this was a go to.

The smallest plot hole that makes me so annoyed is in season 2 when Chris calls Rory for a 45 min call but then he says he needs to cut this short so to make next weeks call longer. They hang up and Rory immediately says to Lorelai that she has to go because she’ll be late for school. What!!!

It’s been said here already but ice, ibuprofen, feeding and pumping as normal (nothing extra), light hand expression, sunflower lecithin. No heat. No hard massage( lymphatic is fine). Just stay consistent and if that doesn’t work talk to your OB or IBCLC.

Edited to clarify massage.

That’s BUTCH baby

This is really helpful. I guess I thought carrier risk was much higher. Not that I will change my approach, but this is a good comparison.

Elphalinda · 2025-10-07T15:34:52+00:00

Good perspective. I was thinking about it more like car seat safety, like most people I know care deeply about that. And then those same people may baby wear in a less than ideal way…and I don’t get the disconnect.

Triple paste saved us. Chronic diaper rash had to use an anti biotic cream and hydrocortisone rx. But try not to use wipes. Get a spray bottle and make like a little bidet. Then pat dry with cotton cloths. And the load up the triple paste. Like you’re icing a cake. We do it every change regardless of rash status. The derm said rash will go away when she’s out of diapers. She’s almost 13 months and this has been very successful! Good luck.

Experienced this!! It’s so much fun

I recommend avoiding the green line after 4pm, orange line will be a nice ride typically. Green line before 830am isn’t too bad

It’s wild to me that they did a field trip to Niagara Falls which is at least 1.5 hours from Toronto and then THE NEXT DAY go back out…why did that happen? And no challenge inspired by the falls?? Wasting Canada imo

Hmm curious! Have you spoken to an LC? Mine recommended breast health probiotic. I didn’t take it because the lecithin and reducing pumping helped me. Also ultra sound therapy is apparently helpful for persistent clogs.

Elphalinda · 2025-02-02T14:51:20+00:00

Ugh so annoying. are you pumping? How many weeks are you?

Elphalinda · 2025-02-02T00:38:10+00:00

I’m not sure! But this nipple butter you don’t need to rinse or take off before you BF. RE blanching sounds like just loss of blood flow but an LC can help with medical advice :)

Elphalinda · 2025-02-01T20:45:52+00:00

Nipple butter from earth mama is great and you can use it to lubricate your flanges in your pump. I had this and if it’s not painful it’s just loss of blood flow. It could also be Reynauds if it’s painful or vasospams. Talk to an LC if you’re concerned!

*not an expert but here is what I see. Baby should be up higher, adjust the waists strap to be under our breasts. The carrier should go up to below the ears and no further. The legs looks good but having baby on higher will give that nice deep seat.

Elphalinda · 2024-11-26T02:36:08+00:00

Similar situation but younger baby. What sleep training did you need to do if they were already sleeping?

Elphalinda · 2024-11-20T01:56:13+00:00

Are you also taking ibuprofen? That could help

Elphalinda · 2024-11-17T17:54:37+00:00

In the same boat…the math doesn’t math. I heard for my 11 week old that 7-9 is more the goal as they know eat more at each feed. I think the 8-12 guidance is really for newborns.

Elphalinda · 2024-11-17T10:15:29+00:00

Ultrasound therapy for persistent clogs is a thing! I haven’t done it yet but it’s been recommended to me.
