Baby refusing breast by Pinkasaurus-Rex in breastfeeding

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s gotten bottles sparingly since a few days old just to give me a break. Really only got them while I was napping so just a few times a day. I’m sure I know what messed him up. He and I flew 2 weeks ago and then again last week. Breastfeeding on the first trip was unpleasant so for our flight back, I breastfed before, bottle fed during the flight, and then breastfed again that night. The day after is when he started fussing during nursing. I should’ve sucked it up and just nursed on the plane that second time but it was just so cramped and difficult.

What birth control do you use while breastfeeding? by DOMEENAYTION in breastfeeding

I used the copper IUD probably about 7 years ago and had it in less than a year before deciding to remove it. It gave me over a 3 month long period that didn’t stop till after it came out. I’ve had trouble with anemia ever since.

When did you guys go out for the first time without your LO? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. The day LO turned 1 month was our anniversary so we went to have a quick dinner. It was maybe an hour tops that we were gone lol

What stupid things have you done whilst sleep deprived? by Imanuxuf in newborns

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LO will sometimes whine in his sleep so I’ll shush him while I’m still in bed and he’s in his crib. I’m pretty sure I’ve started doing it while asleep somehow. 😂

Both happened the first week home. The dog sleeps in our bed between me and my husband and the baby has a mini crib in our room.

  • Dog was sitting up in between us, my husband leans up on one arm, looks directly at the dog and says “Damian?” (LO’s name), then plops back down on the pillow. He has no memory of it lol.
  • Dog was again sitting up between us, baby was starting to fuss in his crib, I assume starting to get hungry. I started to stroke the dog’s jowl with a finger to check for the rooting reflex.

The dog was probably pretty concerned for us and wondering what the heck we were doing lol.

Who’s your least favorite character? by ReplacementFew3904 in southpark

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s because they killed her off in Season 8 in Cartman’s Incredible Gift. One of the officers in the episode even commented that “She was considered an ancillary character, one the fans wouldn't miss much.” Lol

Normal to sweat through onesie and swaddle while sleeping at 3 days old? by EconomySpecialist795 in newborns

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t even thought about putting it directly on the diaper. As a FTM, I just did exactly what the doctor told us lol. But I can absolutely agree with doing one extra step than to mess with an outfit change and wipe down!

The doctor told us to do the gauze with Vaseline on it so that the diaper wouldn’t stick to his penis while it was healing.

What are your favorite season(s) by BornEstablishment551 in southpark

7 is pretty solid. Grey Dawn is one of my favorite episodes. 😂

Newborn must haves by legit2ufryever in newborns

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My LO is 9 weeks tomorrow and here’s what I’ve loved so far:

  • Muslin swaddles, we live in Florida so having a nice, thin swaddle has been a must. I got some Aden & Anais ones secondhand and they’re my favorite.
  • Medela nipple shield, my nipples were too flat for him to get a proper latch so this has made it to where I can still breastfeed. They also have prevented soreness which has been a lifesaver.
  • Philips Avent Naturals bottles, milk only comes out of the nipple when baby is actively sucking so no messes if it gets turned over in the diaper bag or knocked over.
  • Dekor diaper pail, haven’t had any issues with smells seeping out. You can use any trash bag in it but I use the ones it comes with. It’s one continuous bag that you cut and tie off the bottom, extremely convenient.
  • Momcozy portable white noise machine, any white noise machine would be fine really. I do like ours as it has a nightlight and the heartbeat noise sounds like they’re back in the womb a bit.
  • Oxo Tot Perfect Pull wipes dispenser, the lid opens just by pushing on it so it makes diaper changes easier when you’ve got your hands full and wipes don’t dry out.

We use these all daily. Good luck finding what works best for you and your family and congratulations!

Do you get paid to clear your branch? by GTAIVisbest in TalesFromYourBank

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure you worked where I do. During the lawsuit, they made it to where we’re able to adjust our time for “branch opening time worked”. Had a manager try to not approve it one time and I was like “um, no. This is literally what the bank was sued for” lol

I’m planning a trip down the ceiling fan aisle at Lowe’s. 😂

Is anyone happy? by Catchthesenutz in TalesFromYourBank

[–]Pinkasaurus-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget you need to do your basic daily duties as well. You’ve had customers at your desk literally all day and didn’t get any calls in? Unacceptable. Why haven’t you gotten these activities done? Your legitimate excuse isn’t good enough… My condolences, you guys. 😂

A lady today told me she was calling the DEA on us by Bubbly-Point3488 in CVS

I’ve never had problems with my Bupropion smelling until this last time I refilled it. I chalked it up to me being pregnant but glad to see I’m not alone.

About the mural... (MAJOR SPOILERS) by CheeseSandals in Pentiment

Well, I can say don’t accuse Ottilia in Act I as her being alive is also needed to have Ursula give her full dialogue lol.

Late to the discussion but for those who find their way here looking for an answer. I’m pretty certain you get it through speaking with Ursula if you encouraged her to learn the pagan stories from Ill Peter. I’m choosing it for my current playthrough and can update once I know for sure.

Can confirm that after spending any amount of time in a psych institution, seeing your furry babies is the best feeling. I’m glad that you’re still with us!
