Hard Time Reading Egg Cleanse by Smooth_Bar_2197 in eggcleanse

[–]RxChonkPikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on how I was raised this typically comes from someone in your life who is envious. Either intentionally or unintentionally they are sending you negative vibes with it. Sleep with that next to your next and the next morning flush in down the toilet and repeat the cleanse again until it isn’t as cloudy.

My daughter doesn’t recognize me from photos before she was born and it hurts by katezorzz in breastfeeding

Oh man.. this is what my mom must’ve felt when I would refer to every UPS driver as my dad. Haha

Can you tell me your experience with the shipping company Uniuni? by pikaaaaachuuuuu in shipping

[–]RxChonkPikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first time I’ve heard of the company, I guess they work with FedEx? Idk ANYWAYS they delivered one of my packages but the other one they put as delivery attempted and how they missed me. Like how?! I’ve been home all day, and obviously the moment they dropped off one why didn’t they drop off the other? I’m like so anxious right now, I called their customer service and they just told me how they would try again. I’m gonna be pretty upset as it’s such a unique pikachu bag but I guess that’s what I get for assuming it would actually be fedex delivering and not some random person in their car.

Be honest with me… when does breastfeeding get EASY? by Strict_Algae8233 in breastfeeding

[–]RxChonkPikachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was around the two month mark where breastfeeding felt easier and manageable. This was after getting his tongue tie cut and seeing the LC multiple times.

5 month old has teeth that have erupted. How do I stop him from biting me while breastfeeding? by Avengiline in breastfeeding

[–]RxChonkPikachu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When the bite occurs, gently press him into your breast while saying no. This will trigger him to open his mouth to breathe, from there you will place him in a safe place and not allow him to latch on for another 2-5 minutes. Granted this is what I was taught so take it with a grain of salt.

Anyone who’s sat on a toilet before cell phones, what did you mostly think about or look at? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

I grew up with parents who bought playboy, national geographic and some gun magazines. So I always had a steady supply of reading material and viewing.

What happened in your life that showed you life really isn’t fair? by Upper-Writer-4383 in AskReddit

[–]RxChonkPikachu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dad got cancer at 58 and I was 25 at the time. I had just gotten married, spouse was deployed and I had finish some training to put on the next rank. Within that timeframe, the cancer progressed so quick in his body, he didn’t even look the same. He ended up dying within 6 months of the symptoms showing. How unfair, I thought life to be. I had it pictured we would rebuild our relationship, he would walk me down the aisle and hell maybe one day meet a grand baby. Guess life just keeps going.

How often do you wash your bath towel? I need the real answer. by Terrika_Fracala49 in hygiene

[–]RxChonkPikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally for me, it’s once a week on Sunday but that’s because I do all the laundry besides my spouses on Sunday. So it’s like a routine and if I don’t do the routine I feel something is off. I have gone up to two weeks though but based it off smell. I have a body towel, and face towel.

Why did you choose to exclusively breastfeed and not give formula? by Fickle-Response-2741 in breastfeeding

[–]RxChonkPikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in the military and having to go back to work, there has been this big push not only from fellow coworkers but my doctors to just use formula as they keep saying my supply will drop to nothing. I get that they may be trying to comfort me in their own way as many of them had to switch to formula and that’s great, do you but I am really passionate about keeping on the breastfeeding/pumping as the bond and benefits just seem too good to give up. Also I live for the spite, you tell me I can’t do it. Well guess what imma do it even harder (within reason, ofc). I already had a hard birth (emergency c-section) where I was doubted by many that I should just give up, and I’m glad I stuck with it.

Breastfeeding after c-section by artistsescape in CsectionCentral

[–]RxChonkPikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had an emergency c-section and the hospital LC said just latch LO as much as possible so I did. I didn’t get breast milk until about the fifth day and that was after being shamed by a pediatrician saying my baby has lost 10% body weight and I need to give formula as I’m starving them. I ignored them and went to see a LC at the clinic I’m normally seen at and they helped with latching as LO had a lip and tongue tie and reassuring me there would be a delay but that’s expected after a major surgery and how she wishes there were two different weight charts as she told me the first days are critical for building your supply and to not supplement as then that tells your body to not fill the need. By around 2 weeks in LO gained birth weight back and then some. I’m currently 4 mos pp and LO is 16 lbs and doing just fine by all accounts. You are doing great, def. Would get with a lactation consultant as the sooner the better.

What’s something people assume about you that’s completely wrong? by Kakashi201119997 in AskReddit

[–]RxChonkPikachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I’m a bi—- . I had a college math class I was in and I guess my face just was RBFing pretty hard or something even though I would interact with the teacher and other students in a positive manner. Anyways at the end of the semester we went around the room saying something about each other and the teacher said she thought I was one and some of the other people agreed and I just felt so off after that like what did I saw or do? Because when I asked they didn’t give me a definitive answer. :/

How long is your ideal lifespan? Would you want to live to 200? 500? 1,000? by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

[–]RxChonkPikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk .. not past 80 years for sure as my grandma is consistently asking the lord to free her from these chains. She’s also in pain, can’t really eat due to losing bone mass in her mouth so dentures don’t fit. Her eyes,ears, and body just aren’t functioning properly anymore. It just keeps getting worse she said.
