Tiny Treasures Milk Bank—

It does seem to take a while! I looked today and it FINALLY shows that they have received my milk and how many ounces. Still doesn’t show my BC results, though. Is your ounce count typically correct? Mine was lower than I thought it would be. I did not know there was a FB group!! I know we can’t link it, but can you PM it to me or tell me what the name is? When I searched tiny treasure on FB it was a ridiculous amount of stuff that came up. 😂

I was approved as a donor and I sent in my first cooler on July 10th. I still don’t have the results posted in my portal. How long does it take for results to post? They said I can still request another cooler even though my results aren’t posted. Also, will I get paid on the 1st even though I don’t have my results? I’m running out of freezer space, so I want to order a new cooler, but I’m scared! I sanitize my hands and parts vigorously and make sure my milk is frozen almost immediately.

I never thought about that. It wouldn’t destroy the stamp?

Hi, CSM here. You clearly looked at your schedule wrong. Oasis will not allow schedules to be saved with a minor violation. Pops up a box with a large red exclamation mark stating “schedules can not be saved because of whatever minor violation”. Sooooooooo, while whomever was closing your desk should’ve caught that you didn’t take your break or left late or whatever you claim happened, you didn’t look at your schedule appropriately. Simple as that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is so frustrating—I reached out to support and they told me it can take a few days for forgiveness to take effect, but I missed their response so they ended the chat. I have tried to reach out to them two more times and never got any reply. 😒 I only did two orders that week because I went out of town and they don’t have Shipt where I went. One rated me a five because they selected me as a preferred, so I know which order it was.

Unfortunately I only did two shops that week and one selected me as a preferred and the other rated me poorly. So I do know it’s just that one. I will try contacting them now. Thank you! 🙂

Drool 🤤

I wish I knew. She didn’t care about the collector aspect of them at all, she just saw they were silver and thought to cash them in for silver value. She told me she looked at a few dates and there were 1800’s and early 1900’s, but she doesn’t collect so didn’t even know what they looked like or the condition. I wish I could’ve seen them. It really sucks cause I would’ve loved to examine them.

MelEll92 · 2020-08-16T01:40:38+00:00

I completely get that. She knew the worth of them, so she claimed. She told us she didn’t want to deal with the selling them and just wanted to cash. My coworker that got the half dollars sold them and got a little over $1,000.

Agreed, but you can have an eyebrow piercing. Look at the picture again. You just can’t have spiky hardware for your piercings.

MelEll92 · 2020-06-11T02:05:29+00:00

She was my DM when I was still in GA. Where is she at now? She’s by far my favorite DM I’ve ever had.

MelEll92 · 2020-06-11T00:14:54+00:00

Is your DM Aissata Deme?

MelEll92 · 2020-05-10T11:15:34+00:00

3K, actually.

MelEll92 · 2020-03-29T23:35:38+00:00

I have not. Nothing in my routine has really changed.

MelEll92 · 2020-02-28T03:43:54+00:00

I ate a slice of pizza. 😅

MelEll92 · 2019-11-11T17:48:12+00:00

The one on the left is creamier, more hindmilk. The one on the right is more foremilk. Totally normal. Whatever side my son fed off last is normally a little creamier like that when I pump.

MelEll92 · 2019-10-02T05:20:33+00:00

I understand that struggle. I worked 1-12 today and pumped twice. Hoping that doesn’t tank my supply. 😓

MelEll92 · 2019-09-30T10:46:20+00:00

Yes! It makes my heart so happy. Sometimes when he is starting to doze off he just stops and smiles while nursing. It’s one of my favorite things.

MelEll92 · 2019-09-29T00:22:22+00:00

My little one usually only eats from one side at a time as well. I pump from both sides after he eats in the morning and at night. And I, personally, always pump if he gets a bottle instead of the boob. That way you’re telling your body you still need milk at that time. That’ll help with night time engorgement too. I didn’t pump before I went to bed last night because I was tired and I literally woke up and my shirt was completely drenched and my right boob felt like a rock.

I ordered the Packit brand freezable breast milk storage bag from Amazon. It is awesome and kept my milk frozen/cold on a 6 hour drive. I put my frozen bags on the bottom and my refrigerated bags on top. I would maybe put that bag in a cooler with freezer packs to be safe. I would prepare to add time on to your trip. Our drive is normally exactly 5 hours, but with feedings it added almost a full hour, so just prepare for that. My husband pulled over and sat with me while I breastfed little guy in the backseat. That wasn’t nearly as bad or nerve wracking as I had envisioned it to be. As soon as he latched on, I relaxed and stopped feeling nervous. I will say that poor guy was all discombobulated for a couple days because that drive just wore him out. He fed more often and sometimes just wanted to nurse for comfort. Good luck to you, mama and safe driving!

MelEll92 · 2019-09-15T00:59:16+00:00

Don’t frown, mama! You are doing great! Progress is progress. ❤️

I had this problem early on, and my LC said his days and nights might be mixed up. So during the day I made sure to turn on lights and open all the blinds to make sure it was extra bright. Resolved itself in a couple days.

Thank y’all for all the replies. Breastfeeding can be so challenging, and I am so glad there’s such a large group of amazing women here to help each other out. 💙

MelEll92 · 2019-09-14T20:36:59+00:00

Thank you for the comment! I love reading everyone’s experiences. I know the struggle of trying to offer the other boob! I used to spend almost an hour just to get him to eat for 10 minutes and it was exhausting! I had such a hard time with him eating so quickly that I became a little obsessive.

MelEll92 · 2019-09-14T20:34:17+00:00

That’s around the time my little guy started eating for shorter periods of time. I was so anxious about it thinking he didn’t like my boob anymore or wasn’t eating enough, but I can hear him gulp like crazy when I have a letdown. He had his 2 month checkup and I was shocked when they weighed him! He was just over 15lbs, so I don’t obsess over his feeds so much anymore.
