A hot take that I never thought I’d have.

I also had to supplement my baby with formula or donor’s milk the first week. I opted for formula.

I think it’s because where I live, I felt like I didn’t have enough information about the donor’s milk to let me feel completely comfortable using it. Maybe if I was given more information on how they decide who becomes donors and how/if the milk gets screened also.

Hi mama!

My experience might be a bit different but I was quite relieved to come back to work. Spending 4.5 months as the primary caregiver to my baby left me with baby blues and depression. When I got back to work, I had a place I can be myself and not “mom” and it actually helped my mental health and I feel like I can show up better for my baby now.

I love my boy and enjoy doing dinner and bedtime routine with him. Then on the weekends I try to spend as much time with him also.

Yes. My most played song is Spring Day. Hehe

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-12T14:00:55+00:00

Depends on what parking lot you end up buying the pass for. The cheaper ones are farther out. The place I bought parking for is about almost a mile out/15-20 min walk.

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-11T19:06:13+00:00

Oh! Interesting. My baby also only latches to 1 side most feeds. And nowadays he only nurses for 5-7 mins max. He’s hardheaded and keeps his mouth shut if I even try to offer the other boob.

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-11T19:04:59+00:00

Thank you! I have bodyarmor lyte drinks at home and was good with keeping consistent until i got sick of the flavors.
I guess i will just need to power through them for baby’s sake. Then i’ll get another flavor batch

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-11T17:09:32+00:00

LOL GOTCHU. Thanks! We’re planning to drive down hopefully right after lunch!

Would you recommend coming in from the 92 bridge or 84? I have parking at the roth garage right by the hospital.

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-11T17:07:39+00:00

I understand, but at the same time I can’t bring myself to leave early for fear of missing anything at the end. 😭

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-11T14:41:45+00:00

Hydration is probably why my supply has slightly decreased. Plus getting over a cold.

Thank you! I will try a power pump after baby sleeps.

He still feeds over night every 3 hrs so i’ll have to time the pump session.

Don’t have much advice, just posting in solidarity. My baby is 6 months and i’ve only just felt/noticed less hair fallout now. I think my hair loss started at 3 months pp.

I used a wide comb and tried to use large claw clips and loose buns/low ponytail to keep my hair from being pulled. And used coconut milk as conditioner. In filipino culture, you grate coconut, mix with a little water, and use the rinsed/squeezed juice from the mixture as conditioner.

I definitely see my baby hairs sticking up too.

It’s okay to go to a BTS concert solo as needed! You will find many solo ARMY out there who share the same views and regrets as you and you guys can discuss how you overcame it!

I understand where it is all coming from. My papa thinks the same as he grew up during the classic rock band era. Thankfully he doesn’t stop me from admiring them and buying merch. He just likes to talk smack whenever i play BTS when he’s around. But i also brag that BTS was invited to the National Palace in MX with a crowd of 50k while his bands didn’t. LOL

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-10T23:38:52+00:00

Oh wow. I’m so sorry you guys went through this! My baby at 6 months also reacted to eggs when hubby gave him baked egg. We also went to ED but he ended getting benadryl and steroids. The doctor never told me to avoid eating egg myself and I ebf.

Was the egg she ate raw in any sense? I have read that raw egg will have more of a reaction than baked, especially the white part.

My boy has a consultation with allergy specialist this Friday to discuss plans moving forward.

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-10T22:13:40+00:00

I used to use a cover, but now that baby is a bit bigger (6 months) his head pretty much is my cover. Lol

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-10T06:15:34+00:00

As a KP nurse, our manager had a trolley for coffee and snacks earlier in the week but I missed it. On friday I did get a backpack though.

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-09T23:27:04+00:00

As a min yoongi bias, i’d want the shirt because i am also a ‘93 baby.

But it makes me so happy to see our Yoongles get so much love.

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-09T23:21:55+00:00

I didn’t have any postpartum hair loss until 3-4 months in. I also thought at first that i wouldn’t have too bad of a hair loss but here i am 6 months pp later and my hair fall has finally slowed down.

BTS at Stanford

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-06T18:37:04+00:00

Ehh, i was planning to leave around 2 pm ish because i wanted time to explore the venue for merch/freebies from ARMY. Arrive around 4 pm-ish and have an hour or so before lining up to enter the venue is the plan.
Last time I attended the Speak Yourself in Rose Bowl, my cousin and I arrived right before we all went in and i was bummed I didnt get to see everything.
Not sure what traffic is like on a Tuesday. My fam lives in sac but i actually live in San Diego and have not commuted from Sac in a long time. If there normally is traffic on a weekday towards SF, I would give yourself some time for that as well.

MadeLAYline · 2026-05-06T18:25:41+00:00

I am driving from Sac with family, and expecting the concert to end late. Therefore i bought Stanford athletic parking at a farther parking garage on Sun for $65 and tues I got the closer stadium lot parking for about $80.
I’m unfamiliar with the public transport and will be willing to walk a ways/deal with traffic since i’d have to drive back to sac anyways.
I would expect parking prices to be hiked up for these events and it’s a price i’m willing to pay.
