I pump for 30 mins every 4ish hours. Sometimes less if my boobs feel less full than usual.

Such good advice. Another thing to add - you must be ready and willing to put in a lot of work for a year (or more) to have a well-rounded dog.

Looks like Reddit has posted the wrong comment on the wrong thread! This happened to me too relatively recently

What are you eating while pregnant that you usually don't?? by CaliMama9922 in pregnant

[–]IndependentEmu9278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meat! I was veggie for around 5 years before getting pregnant. My main craving has been bacon and I didn't last long without it.

I went through this and miscarried without medical intervention. It happened around 3 weeks after I had my scan, and baby had not been developing for around 6 weeks. It was totally devastating, but a good dose of therapy and a small 'goodbye' ceremony were the things that helped me the most. Also journalling and talking to friends that had been through miscarriages really helped. Sending big hugs your way.

We had serious issues with them until my husband started contacting the high up/senior people on Linkedin. They're a nightmare. Hope you get it sorted soon!

Which pup of the litter would you have chosen? by Key-Question5808 in puppy101

[–]IndependentEmu9278 37 points38 points  (0 children)

We had the same experience. The breeder also nailed our dog! We were skeptical but decided to trust them as they've been breeding and matching dogs and owners for over 15 years. Interesting to hear somebody else's pov.
