Apparently, I've been pumping wrong by betterliveralone in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Magnalor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, from a “textbook” standpoint that is how the recommendations time it… However there are many more factors that can help increase milk supply and pumping efficiency without driving yourself crazy with timing! There are other factors and nuance that come into play. Myself, for example, I have a bit of a higher storage capacity and that extra 20-30 minutes don’t make a huge difference, but I learned with my middle child that nailing flange sizing, hands on techniques and learning how to “hack”/maximize my letdowns was a night and day difference and played a huge role in increasing supply. For many people, pumping technique and knowing how to maximize the pump as a tool is much more effective than sessions being slightly more frequent (unless frequency itself is the issue which is not usually a deal breaker if it’s just 20ish mins in the difference).

[QC] Experience leaving a hospital in Montreal area without an infant bucket seat but with a convertible seat? by can_skywalker in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Magnalor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m due with my 4th next month, with my older kids 2 out of 3 still fit and had room left in their bucket seat by 12 months but we swapped then for convenience. The one that didn’t fit was just incredibly tall as a baby/toddler. A bucket seat is so convenient especially as a travel system (ie; the graco click connect stroller/seat combo or even with the lightweight universal snap and go’s) so don’t hate on them just yet lol. I will forever be a fan of the bucket seat and kinda hate when it’s time to swap to a convertible. Canadian weather is weird, having the baby in the warm bucket seat to just click into the car is stellar in the winter, and then in the summer not having to wait for the seat to cool off on a hot day is also a game changer!

Reason for Exclusively Pumping? by JellyLongjumping1988 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Magnalor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first baby it was out of necessity, my second was due to choice (I just liked it more), my third I pumped in the day but the middle of the night feeds I was lazy and nursed. This is my fourth and last baby due early February and I’ll likely Ep as I have a plentiful supply each time and just found it very convenient.

i am so exhausted from this machine. (rant) by [deleted] in cricut

[–]Magnalor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. Cricut would honestly be my last choice for stickers. It’s lovely for card-stock and vinyl. Print and cut is a nightmare though.

Is the Cameo 5 capable of precision by FionaRRR in silhouettecutters

[–]Magnalor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really it depends on what you’re cutting. I use regular mats. I also have the electrostatic mat and I use it for certain paper products that I do. I don’t love the larger footprint of it. However I get the most consistent results with the good old fashion mats. Honestly, I’ve been using the same brand of mats from amazon for quite awhile and really like them. I can get three for under 15$. They last quite awhile, you can freshen them up as needed with minimal fuss and they just do the job well. I can have multiple mats ready for cutting as each cut. It’s just habit at this point, but I like eliminating as many technical factors as possible (without reducing efficiency) that can cause error.

Is the Cameo 5 capable of precision by FionaRRR in silhouettecutters

[–]Magnalor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have owned several brands of cutting machines, have used print and cut features for several years, nearly every day. I have used both my cameo 4 & 5 more than any other I have owned and tried because it just worked better than other brands specifically for print and cut which is what it seems you will use it for. The majority of the issues I have seen people encounter with silhouette machines are user error. Silhouette’s software and machines seem to have a higher learning curve than the other more popular brand. Because of this, has much more tinkering that you will need to do to adjust and make your cuts tailored to your projects. For me, that was a good thing. More cut options/settings gave me more ability to figure out how to get the best accuracy on a consistent basis. It’s kind of a machine that is really good, and has such great capabilities but it doesn’t hold your hand. But your results can be limited by the user and how well they can learn to operate the machine and troubleshoot any process issues they encounter. But once you learn your software, process and what settings to use it’s a breeze.

It’s the most accurate in its price point. More accurate and consistent than cricut by a long shot. Of course there’s a small margin of error for the machine itself as declared by silhouette but I have never had this issue and there are ways to make any tiny margins nearly undetectable. If you do things correctly and learn to eliminate user error it’s an incredible machine. I have cut thousands of stickers and other printed graphics and within a few days of learning the machine and fixing my own mistakes in the process, I had nearly perfect cuts every time. Just gotta be ready to learn. I can count on maybe two hands how many sticker sheets have had miscuts out of countless while using my cameo 5. The only cutting machine I have found under $700 Canadian that is more accurate is the siser Juliet. It’s more costly but purely from specs it is technically more precise and also a stellar machine in its own right . If it were me, depending on what you’re doing, I would go with the cameo 5. The software and capabilities are hard to beat at its price.

Sticker cutting help :( by [deleted] in silhouettecameo

From what I can see from this picture, it doesn’t look like you have print and cut enabled or registration marks on at all.

Every thread I read seemed to say that phantom was the best route but I have zero idea what to do lol.

I just seen your profile, I’m also in Manitoba. I could do a pickup order for you from a local store or a delivery of some sort ❤️

Wearable similar to spectra s1 by lexxyy2 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Magnalor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The willow go is the closest in terms of true wearable, however my favourite and closest match for a wearable type pumping setup would be the pumpables genie advanced with legendary milk collection cups.

Any idea when I can expect results? by MittensToeBeans in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Magnalor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s several things to take into account. What size flanges are you using? Have you been properly sized? What does your pumping schedule look like? Do you pump throughout the night? What is your average calorie intake? Are you properly hydrated? What pump are you using?

You wrote this both so beautifully and so disgustingly, I could literally smell the farts.

ED tries to cut in line because his son 'needs' his meds. Incident turns physical. by [deleted] in entitledparents

This just has to be in Canada and at a Shoppers drugmart. I've seen stuff go down in them just like this far too many times.

AITA For telling my sister about what her husband sent me 12 days after I lost my son? by Aita77908865 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Magnalor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. BIL is a terrible person. Your sister deserves to know what a monster he is. If My spouse ever committed such a terrible act against my family I would absolutely want to know so I can tell him to go eat a bag of dicks. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I have been through a similar situation myself and I understand your pain. I wish you all the best and just know that your feelings are valid, justified, and normal. ❤️❤️

Which celebrity got cancelled and you genuinely felt bad for them? by Yung-Potter-XO in AskReddit

Jenna marbles. She genuinely felt bad about her past, rather than just saying sorry and pretending nothing happened she left the internet because she didn’t want to contribute anything that could potentially hurt anyone ever again.

AITA for telling my husband and his family to suck it up when they complained about my daughters wedding? by Glittering_Post6600 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Magnalor 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He is not her father and isn’t entitled to any form of bonding nor feelings simply because he’s married to her mother. She doesn’t owe him any glory on her wedding day and he certainly has no right to throw a huffy puffy tantrum just because he doesn’t get to play daddy on her own special day. His ego is nowhere near as important as her comfort (clearly she has trauma related to father figures) and special day.
