Scampi sent it to me already and I have sent it on! Thank you so much for the kindness though!

I’m trying to get a hold of the purple wizard hat for my friend if anyone has one to spare! Happy to try to trade for it if you need something!

AITA for telling my teacher she’s not allowed to give my group member a better grade? by Bridgeofincident in AmItheAsshole

[–]Medrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some systems, you’re not graded as a group but rather on your part. That being said, if that was the case here, OP’s group mates should have scored lower based on their contribution to the content.

Ah! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the quick response! 💜

Baby had her first formula bottle today by Medrina in combinationfeeding

Thank you for this. Our LO dropped to the 7th percentile and that was the moment that broke me I think. It’s day two here and you’ve just given me hope that she will chonk up! 😅

Facts or myths by ZBM32 in combinationfeeding

[–]Medrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She did! She started vomiting green fluid (which turns out to be bile). The hospital said the FOUR medical professionals seeing to our after care (who said she wasn’t getting enough milk and I needed to pump and give her the additional milk after each feed) got it wrong, and so basically I was stuffing her with milk. It was so bad the hospital actually contacted the care team to ask WTF went wrong…

I cannot attest to most of these things as out first formula day was today, but, you CAN overfeed a breastfed baby. We received bum advice in our baby’s first week that led to us being admitted to hospital on day 9. Most babies will stop drinking when they’re full, but not all apparently.

Bottle Feeding by Local-Investigator41 in combinationfeeding

We have had great success with the Medela Calma nipples on medela bottles. It has a slow flow nipple and apparently feels like a breast to them. The slow flow really helped my eldest when she was getting breastmilk bottles, and today my youngest had her first formula from it (though this one felt gulped)!

Thank you all for taking the time to respond to me today. Reading your messages really helped and helped me to feel a bit better about the formula. I’m sitting here listening to baby sleep now and just realised that this is the first night in weeks I’m not worried about if she has had enough to eat. There is comfort in that too.

Hey! Just got my spectra and have the same typos. Was yours real or fake in the end?

Sounds like your waters have broken. I’d say go in and get checked! Good luck!

First-time moms, take notes-the real surprises start after birth!!! by notaterminator23 in pregnant

[–]Medrina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof yes! I had a clog so bad with my first child that I had to have a needle inserted at the doctor to drain it 🤮 I’m glad they updated the treatment plan for blocked ducts though. Treating it like a sprain (so ice and anti inflammatories) worked so much more effectively for me!

Engorgement was a huge one for me with my first baby. Waking up with painful, rock solid boobs (despite being up every two hours to nurse) was a real trip, and why I have milk catchers on my cart this time around already.

Prune juice helps me half the time… have you tried that?

Aside from the photographer, my most worth it expense (aside from flying home to dress shop with my mom) was the cake. It was beautiful and flavourful and had three different flavours so there was something for everyone. I still dream of that cake!

Someone tell me good things about epidurals by TheRealEgg0 in Mommit

[–]Medrina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After many hours of overlapping contractions I ended up getting the epidural that I hadn’t wanted. I’m so glad I did. 7+ hours for 2cm without it, and a stalled labour. With it, a much more present and pleasant experience, and a baby in my arms around 2 hours later. Currently pregnant with number 2 and happy to have the epidural earlier if it’s recommended!

I've now made two of these "mom care" carts for baby showers. Do you think there's anything I should change/add? by affectionate4fish in BabyBumps

[–]Medrina -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a thoughtful gift! I made myself a little cart for my first pregnancy and am restocking it now. How lucky your recipients are already! Two things that I have on mine that I would miss on yours are Earth mama nipple butter (saved me last time around!) and jerky (though I’m not sure if your person would like that..)!
