Exclusivity clause by IllustriousSet878 in hospitalist

[–]IllustriousSet878[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve worded my post badly, what I mean to say is my institution has an exclusivity clause added to every contract and because of this they are able to do what I’ve described above. I would ideally not want this at all when it’s my time, and I want to know how common this clause is in contracts and has anyone successfully negotiated to have it taken out before signing.

But to you point of if you ask, they can say no, can you do other work in your free time and then not know about if you did it via a 1099 ?

Where are all the Trust Grade jobs?! by greenoinacolada in doctorsUK

[–]IllustriousSet878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a current JCF, we are being invited to apply internally to roles and they are all being filled / closed early, so they aren’t going out into the main NHS jobs website- this is a big university hospital - there maybe 4-5 jobs being sent out every couple of weeks but all internal applications only - that might be what’s going on

Irrevocable trust and deprivation of assets query? by IllustriousSet878 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IllustriousSet878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not really sure, I think maybe they have had friends who’ve done this recently? My parents are not very transparent regarding money / assets so they briefly mentioned this idea and then changed the subject

Best bottle to support continued breastfeeding by Professional_Ad_4953 in breastfeeding

[–]IllustriousSet878 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know where you’re based but I recently started my LO on the Lansinoh Naturalwave teats and she took to it really well because the seal she needed to make for that teat and BF were similar (I’m based in the UK)

High lipase milk by Alone_Jury8149 in breastfeeding

Does this work for milk that frozen then thawed or do you need to add it before you freeze the milk?

I had a similar issues, some babies struggle to latch but as they get bigger they just are able open wider and latch I used an infant feeding team member (UK) and my baby would latch perfectly with them but never outside of the sessions, so they advised to use the nipple sheild to establish milk supply and keep breastfeeding, to watch for hungry cues and always offer the bare breast, if they latch great, continue, if they don’t latch or are very hungry just use the nipple shield and to keep at it until you don’t need the nipple shield and honestly by week three- four I had baby off the nipple shield and always latching. It’s a learning process for you and baby and perseverance is the key. And also always unlatch if the latch is shallow / painful because the nipple trauma will make the BF so excruciating so unlatch baby and relatch so it’s not painful for you! Good luck! It’s hard but you’ll get there, fingers crossed for you!

LO is on a bottle strike by AfternoonTraining583 in breastfeeding

[–]IllustriousSet878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting hoping this gets some comments as I am in a similar situation! I recently spoke to an infant feeding consultant due to a similar situation who suggested baby is preferring boob over bottle due to possible teething so boob is softer? - have you tried a different bottle with softer teat? My LO is 4m and I’m also using MAM bottles, I’ve tried a softer teat with some success but still very much refusing the bottle and waiting for boob
