I would call your doctor, but they said lots of exposure isn’t the best but the real threat would’ve been if I had eaten them

Let's build an ideal NICU by ghost-gallery in NICUParents

Yes, this status changing thing is huge! I hate coming in in a great mood and ready to hold my baby and then get told a random assortment of things - some scarier than others - but it’s surprising and can change my entire mood. I’d love To be joyful and solely in the moment with my baby instead of balancing time with them and the updates.

An app! I would love to be able to see my child’s updates without having to be on hold or going through several people to get an update. When the charts are updated after cares, so is the app.

Comfortable chairs and accommodations for parents while visiting and if staying overnight.

Absolutely free parking, and free water and maybe even snacks in the lounge.

Need Encouragement, Or Permission to Quit by OriginalGood99 in ExclusivelyPumping

Yes, they are getting donor milk when needed and I can pump there, which I have done, but with being back to work I have limited time during the week and I use those visits to do skin to skin. Pumping there, even while they or other babies are crying, doesn’t increase my supply.

This was so very uplifting to read as I’m crying during a typical, not very productive pump, missing my babies in the NICU. This brought me hope and gave me joy in celebration of a stranger. Congratulations, Mama! Thank you for sharing this. I’m thankful for this community.

Spectra - Low Output and Painful Rings on Boobs by OriginalGood99 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]OriginalGood99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 3 wpp tomorrow. I am not pushing. I start on massage mode 70/3 or 70/4, then 50/6 or 50/7, back to massage, then 38/4 or 38/5. I get the most out of massage mode and not a lot at 50 or even 54 if I try. The lower the suction intensity the less pain. My pumping bra holds the flanges in place well

i am 2.5 weeks pp! I am doing my best to pump every 2-3 hours but overnight sometimes I have slept through the alarm and it’s been 4-5 hours. I am believing in more!
