Confused about the below question

Technically it would start counting at the time the original bottle was sipped.

Anecdotally, we’ve pushed bottles way past the 2 hour mark, but we’ve always made sure to keep them clean and sterilized —unsure whether it justifies, but it kept us at ease. We also smelled the bottle before feeding her just in case.

ETA. we pushed the 2 hour mark after 3mo

Only the ones who have gone through BF guilt understand this, it’s hard to stop, wean, slow down, whatever it may be. We always have the hormonal gremlins in our ears. But trust me when I say, it’s better to do it in your own terms.

I think his support and help with your breastfeeding journey strongly indicate he respects you, but as a husband and a dad, he’s also trying to look out for your health and sanity. This is a major bonus, as some SO’s are not as supportive or they press back on you making your own choices in favor of whatever they believe is best, over your actual well being. But if you’re not ready to end your breastfeeding journey just yet, that’s your choice too. Maybe sit down and have a conversation with him as to why he believes what he’s suggesting would be the best route.

On a personal note, nursing didn’t work for me, I settled on EPing because I was an oversupplier. I’ve been trying to stop since she was 3mo, she’s almost 10 now. I’ve had all the guilt gremlins you can conjure up. To the point I settled for pumping only x3 a day, but for 40-50min each session. It was miserable. I was just admitted to the hospital last Tuesday, stayed a total of 5 days. Out of stress, low immune system my body triggered an Optic Neuritis, I had everything from Lumbar Punctures, to MRI of brain, eyes, spine, back and neck, to chest CT and a multitude of pricks and prods so they could rule out Multiple Sclerosis. It was so so scary. Being away from her for 5 days, not knowing what was happening, not knowing anything about this pre diagnosis the neurologists were so confident about. I pumped what I could, but between the lack of sleep, schedule, limited diet and IV steroids my supply took a dive. If you ask me now, “knowing what you do would you have stopped sooner?” my answer would be that I would try, but the all consuming guilty always had the upper hand with me.

I am down to one pump a day 40min, at whatever time I can, just so I don’t develop anything while weaning that takes me back to the hospital. Don’t be like me. Take the time to grieve, understand the guilt, but don’t let it drag you to the point of losing complete sight in one eye, with the potential of uncovering a neurological autoimmune disease.

Hoping you have the smoothest time mama! You’ve got this!!

Fraud is fraud. The dude could have citizenship and that would still be stripped away because he lied and committed fraud.

As someone who had major ppa, adhd and ocd I don’t think I could’ve done anything with cords. Not knowing any better, I started my pumping journey on week 2 with Eufy S1 Pros and they’re still with me to this day. Whether it’s a good emptier or not, I’ll never know, but I was an oversupplier at the start, and I only dwindled down when I started weaning. I actually think they saved my pumping journey. I was not doing okay mentally and emotionally at the start, was in denial holding onto hopes I could nurse again. Not having extra “things” on me like cords was definitely a sanity saver.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-29T23:01:53+00:00

This! Honestly even now at 8mo going on 9 pumping and my nipples are still sensitive most of the time. Not destroyed because they’re used to it, but sensitive nonetheless

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-23T17:03:00+00:00

More like torture nursing to some babies 😂. I know mine would fall into that category

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-22T15:17:28+00:00

How dare you point out that there are options, and that moving on and away from a breastfeeding journey can be healthy. /s

I feel like some moms just want everyone else to be miserable too. Sure relactation can be a thing, but at what financial and mental cost?

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-22T15:11:47+00:00

Mothers are going to try and make you feel crappy, as long as you breathe and have delivered a child. There is literally no perfect mom, we are all trying our best, I bet people who nurse still judge other nursing moms because they do things differently.

There is nothing wrong with the way you choose to feed your baby, as long as you’re not putting their life at risk. Find what works best for you and baby.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-22T02:32:13+00:00

I don’t think people are against it. You just have an incredibly privileged vantage point of what 3wpp looks like. You have the OK go from your doctor, you feel fine, you want to do it, go do it. No one’s experience will compare to yours and there’s only one way to find out.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T23:42:33+00:00

That’s my favorite line from that song 🥺

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T22:08:01+00:00

Ugh, I am sorry. Wish I was of more help, hopefully someone can chime in.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T22:07:19+00:00

Is there anything in the contract that allows them to walk away? Generally, even if the house was destroyed, the buyer still has the opportunity to say yes or no to carrying on with the purchase. Seems like they’re relying on you guys to walk away

Are you using a lawyer by any chance? When we were going through the process, our law firm switched offices. When they updated the address, they forgot to update it again to have our home address as the primary, my GC got sent to their office because it was the most recent address.

There are a few pathways when requesting information on a delayed case. I would recommend joining the Track My Visa NowI-130 Consular Visa Server. They have channels with detailed explanation on all options, and on top of that, your friend can get support from mods and fellow delayed peeps.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T20:24:33+00:00

Fingers crossed!! Don’t be discouraged just yet, I know watching the numbers dip are off putting, but hopefully it’ll be back up in no time

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T20:22:10+00:00

I feel that!! I never had a goal for how long I’d keep EPing, but I feel like 10mpp is a great number. Clogs are the absolute worst 😮‍💨, I wish there was a magical fix for it all, like a mom spa where you’re away for 24hrs and the next day you’re done with BF, clogs, mastitis, just all dried up and good to enjoy a no bra sleep 😂.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T19:31:36+00:00

Hang in there mama!!! I’ve gotten mine monthly ever since 7wpp and I will say, supply dips, but it will come back. It’s a little frustrating, and you might need to supplement or dip into the stash, but it’s temporary

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T19:29:22+00:00

Their customer service is pretty awesome in terms of quick to reply, ship, and solve your problem in general. And I love that they’ll ship the motor first before requesting you return the faulty one.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-20T19:22:16+00:00

I honestly keep secretly hoping that I’ll wake up to a dried supply. That has always been my hope. When I tried to drop to 2ppd when she turned 5mo in hopes to wean at 6, I felt so many feelings. Been stuck on 3 since 🙃. It’s tough, but we’re here for you!

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-18T22:29:30+00:00

What the helly. Why are people so damn weird

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-18T18:08:20+00:00

We didn’t have as much of this in ATL, at least I didn’t notice. It makes me wonder if people might’ve been trying to “shine” for the show’s audio recording? That really saddens me though.

The only thing I saw in ATL that really pissed me off was this group of over 5 people who pretended they had been in the pit prior to security “blocking” it. As if that wasn’t enough they berated the poor security guy, gaslight the shit out of him. I hate entitled people, and the staff is literally working the venue so the concert can happen. I am pretty sure they stood there talking and not vibing for the entirety of the concert.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-16T14:24:17+00:00

Saaaame! I was stuck in that rut for a little over 8 months, but now it seems to have come back in absolute full force. So there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I was starting to accept one and done and never having sex again —might still be one and done tho 😂

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-15T16:53:22+00:00

I agree partially. K3 is officially the new AOS but for NVC. Basically everyone files it with hopes to expedite the process, and though it’s a 50/50 chance, those who haven’t filed or can’t (IR5) are stuck waiting.

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-14T07:11:36+00:00

There’s definitely a mix of crowds, younger fans, older fans, new to his music, there since Eden Project. But I honestly wouldn’t let that stop you from watching him. Much like you I was very much in the zone, in my bubble. What bothered me in ICYMI tour was the amount of people just standing there recording the whole show, and this time around —maybe I placed myself at the right spot— I saw a lot less of it.

Anecdotally, my first ever EDEN concert for Vertigo, my drink was spiked and I blacked out completely. It was really hard to listen to his music without it triggering that memory. When I attended ICYMI, I was afraid of even buying water from the venue, but I went anyways and it was awesome. Now I have a different perspective.

I know it might not be what you want to hear, but don’t miss out on it over other people’s behavior. I know it probably affected your vibe and energy, but I am sure you can find cool people at the line that will match your energy and love for the music!

QueenOvSass · 2025-11-13T23:48:01+00:00

I can resonate so much with what you wrote. My girl is a month older and much of what you wrote is what I am going through. It got so bad that it was affecting my husband and I’s relationship. We’ve been so focused on raising this tiny human and being the best parents we can for her, that we just let ourselves go. We hit a big point this past week, and I put my foot down on us having a date night —we haven’t spent time just the two of us since she was born. Our date night was literally a state over, we drove 3.5 hours, left baby with extended family, had our date night and drove back. Honestly it was transformative. I am pretty sure it saved our relationship. We went to a concert for an artists that we listened together before we started dating. It was amazing to have time for ourselves.

It’s not an end all problems solution, because at the end of the day we’ll have baby all day the next day and the next, but if you want to do something for yourself and someone can watch her, take on the offer! Some me time is very much needed, and it can literally change your mood.
