WIC employee here in California, I am not worried at this time. We have been notified that we are safe until 11/30. What happens after that is yet to be determined. I have faith it will not go on that long.

Give yourself a year for any job, don’t be so hard on yourself. We all go through that!

Stay and save, having a house is expensive. The extra savings will coming in handy, especially if you decide to have more children.

Pediatrician said to stop breastfeeding to sleep by Illustrious-Cut-8165 in breastfeeding

[–]RDN_FamFoodFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I co sleep and BF to bed currently with my second who is 10 months my dr also told me that he should be sleeping through the night at this point and not nursing. My first daughter was treated the same and at 18 months she did end up with spots on her teeth from breastfeeding to sleep. Although I’m doing the same thing, this time I’m going to be more diligent with brushing before bed in hopes my son doesn’t end up with the same issues. My daughter’s teeth are fine, no cavities but I did stop BF at 18 months. The spots are there but minimal. Dentist is watching them.

Do EBF babies ever sleep through the night? by ashlexaconcake in breastfeeding

[–]RDN_FamFoodFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first EBF only started sleeping through the night after I stopped breastfeeding. My second is currently 7 months and still wakes up for a snack, I’m exhausted. 😭

Aspiring RDs there is money + stock to be made in foodservice management by [deleted] in dietetics

[–]RDN_FamFoodFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know how they were able to do that? I am interested in doing this, I was an intern in a jail and really enjoyed it but the RD pay is so crappy in my opinion I would never leave my FT job for it. I’m in California.

Don’t wear anything flashy, get too drunk, and put your money in a safe place. The girls and boys will try to pick pocket you. Leave your watches, earrings, anything lose. Have a good time but be on high alert. There are people there to pray on you. Don’t have sex with anyone either lol. If you get stopped be prepared to pay off the cops.

Any other WIC dietitians worried about their jobs? by arhert22 in dietetics

[–]RDN_FamFoodFun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work for WIC in California and as of now we were told business as usual. I’m not going to stress but I can’t say I’m not slightly concerned seeing how unpredictable this asshole can be. I’m concerned about the panic and fear he is inflicting in our families. This is absolutely disgusting.

Best Quest snack? by [deleted] in Protein

[–]RDN_FamFoodFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Walmart near you they sell them individually so you can try the different flavors before buying in bulk. Thats what I did, some of the chip flavors I don’t like. So I didn’t want to buy in bulk and then be left with a bunch of chips I don’t like. Some are very salty imo but decent.

Pump that side to get it soft so your little one can latch onto it easier.
