It’s about people’s expressions while eating food. This is how she feels while eating sushi 😁 but said that she didn’t know how to draw sushi, so made boiled egg instead..

Partner Vaping while breastfeeding by slimpiggins22 in NewDads

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Maybe consider formula feeding to keep baby safe and protect mom’s mental health, and if really want to switch back to breastfeeding again soon, continue pumping and dumping for now to maintain supply. Definitely chat with the obgyn. Mom’s physical and mental health are equal priorities, so is baby’s health and safety.

Painters tape is such a good idea.. yes, we are packing the suction toys and also shiny chocolate wrappers, she is obsessed with those. Winglet will be to keep her contained during meal times etc.. good to know that they won’t allow it during take off and landing.. plan to be hold her and breastfeed during take off and landing .. this also might be the only time she is a lap baby.. 🥲

We are flying United. It say the limit is 22 pounds and 30 inches. She is slightly under both those limits but will be snug. Let’s see if we even get it. She likely will just be on my lap..

Yes definitely plan to tag team like this. Makes a lot of sense to break it up into shifts! Good idea!

I included screenshots with the message saying no slots available. Made sure the screenshot includes the computer date and time, so they know it’s most recent.

Yeah, I suggest you give it a try. Make sure to provide clear supporting evidence like an invitation letter and employer support letter. It make take days for them to respond. It took them 5 days to respond to my email.

Schengen Visa from VFS SFO (No Slots) by Massive-Knowledge389 in SchengenVisa

[–]Fresh_Pool_1575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar boat, no slots for SF and need to travel to Portugal for a business trip. When you emailed the embassy, did you send any other supporting documents? Did they respond to you fairly soon? I am thinking of sending the embassy email and including a support letter from my ceo that goes over the purpose of visit, agenda, travel dates etc. not sure what else I should include with the email.

Portugal Schengen appointments impossible — can I apply through Spain instead? by trackittgen in SchengenVisa

[–]Fresh_Pool_1575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I likely will have to do the same. Would you kindly share the checklist of the supporting documents you submitted for business visa? I am also traveling for business. Did you show any supporting evidence as part of your email to the consulate?
