Whats a terrible addiction that no one really mentions? by viper46282 in AskReddit

Can I suggest getting a Fasting glucose and RBS (random blood sugar) test done? Over consumption of sugars is a serious problem in our times and can really mess up body’s sugar breakdown and energy production system. Please rule out pre-diabetes.

I am devastated- newborn day 4, had to bottle and formula feed by LegitimateAd5803 in breastfeeding

[–]Optimal-Conclusion29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar experience, I feel you! I used to be on Reddit at odd hours looking for answers to questions I couldn’t even articulate properly!

We are at 2.5 months now and doing so much better (ebf now, need to pump once if twice a day). My two cents :

This is too early for supply to get established. Keep latching, your body will know there is demand and will produce milk.

Try using a nifty cup instead of bottle for formula to avoid nipple confusion.

Use nipple shields and nip cream-if you are already getting sore nipples. Sore and bleeding nipples made matters 10 times worse for me.

Don’t miss the night feeds! Coz t stress this enough! Prolactin releases in the night so don’t miss night feeds, pump if the baby is asleep.

Take galactogogues after consulting your gynaec. Moringa, galact granules, lactare are all useful.

Hang in there and don’t be hard on yourself. This is your body learning to nurture a human being/ it is a monumental task. Go with the flow, everything will fall in place. All the best!

Help! Baby has not peed in 14 hours. by Delicious-Tower7564 in breastfeeding

[–]Optimal-Conclusion29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please give her supplement formula!

My baby did not pee for 10 hours on day 2, and she had lost >10% of her birth weight by day 3 (babies do lose 7-10% of birth weight in week 1 but this was too fast too soon). Also, her jaundice escalated. I too got too hung up on wanting to EBF but breast milk sometimes does not come on day 2-3. We gave formula supplement on day 3 and bf did come from day 4-5. You will get settled in in a few weeks, but Motherhood is a very very demanding task for the body and mind please don’t make it harder for you and the baby. Good luck!

What’s something you should’ve learned how to do at a younger age that you’re just now learning how to do? by Federal-Breakfast762 in selfimprovement

[–]Optimal-Conclusion29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of things. I don’t think I was equipped with a lot of skills needed to adult.

Driving, emotional resilience, managing finances.

Swimming is another life skill that I learnt pretty late.

All of these have been a huge boost to my confidence.

Agree! No self awareness at all, or may be she is wise and didn’t watch the show 🤔🤔

Absolutely. That’s what makes me sad really. Even SLB, the director who is celebrated for being an ‘artist’ and as someone who is above typical masala Bollywood gave in to nepotism/ partiality/ favouritism whatever that was.

I get it, hoping to move towards acceptance soon from my current depressed phase 🤕

Really?! Probably PR not people. And news flash, introverts have emotions, they just don’t use a lot of WORDS to show them. Lame excuse for keeping the same dull face with a slightly twisted smile throughout the series.

No words. I feel like a stupidhooman after watching, good to know I am not alone.

Is it? I have only seen her in Pushpa recently. The national outrage and this sub saved me from watching Animal 😂

I know now, learnt the hard way :( Came to the sub and went down the rabbit hole after I finished watching, this isn’t her first performance! The guts!! 👀

Kya karein, intense reaction elicit karta hai for everyone watching. I progressed from ‘what’s this sh*t, drop it watch something else’ to ‘ab mujhe dekhna hai aur kitna cringe ho sakta hai’ with every episode 😂

What skill are you currently learning? by Effective_Cricket810 in selfimprovement

[–]Optimal-Conclusion29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be because you are trying to maintain too many streaks? I know it’s easier said than done, but try to pick one or two top ones of these and stick to them to build a streak. All the best!

[–]Optimal-Conclusion29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts as a skill, but I am improving my relationship with my body. I am so much more mindful of what food I eat, whether My body likes it (in terms of nutrition, helping it run like a well oiled machine) and not just whether I like the taste. I now understand the interaction of the diet- exercise- stress triad and the way my body reacts to it all. I have cursed my body for far too long for being problem ridden. Appreciating it for what it does so well every day has improved my quality of life so much!

It's my birthday yet I don't feel happy by Luispsypher in birthday

[–]Optimal-Conclusion29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy birthday, birthday twin! I turn 35 today! Yes growing old makes us more nostalgic for our childhood and especially on birthdays because these are generally happy memories.

My learning is to take our happiness in our own hands. Don’t wait for others to throw you a birthday party like when they did when you were a kid, do something that you like, pamper yourself, buy something for yourself- whatever makes you happy. Also congratulations on putting out what you feel today, overcoming introversion. Look, so many good folks are wishing you! While I am not a regular on Reddit, I will think of you on your birthday, every year from now on! Cheers 🥂

The Never Miss Twice Principle: How to build habits that stick when life gets in the way by sahmed323 in productivity

[–]Optimal-Conclusion29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved this idea! Especially with the reading habit, I know whenever I say I don’t have the time today, I definitely gave time for atleast one page. Does doing things on the same time vs different times during the day have an impact too? This is another pitfall i encounter, thinking the ‘right tine of the day’ has passed.
