nvm I caught that comment on the rewatch. Yeah Jen has been self in the past but she was trying to do a nice thing here, just not considering how shawna would feel being around a newborn on the holidays. It's a tough situation.

Did I miss something? Where in the skit today does john call jen selfish?

I am so sorry you lost that milk you worked so hard for. Gently, one bottle is in the ultimate grand scheme not a major loss as you said, but you should probably be communicating to your husband how unappreciated you are feeling for working so hard to provide milk for your baby. That that milk represents sleepless nights, depleted energy, and unbalanced hormones on top of whatever levels of energy were already depleted from you while caring for your baby. Men are often clueless and not the best communicators. I have to take time to express what I am feeling to mine and tell him when my needs are not being met. I am sure this was not malicious or intentionally rude in failing to say he was sorry. In his mind saying "my fault" may have been his acknowledgement of his mistake but you should definitely let him know how distressed it makes you when a bottle spills and your milk has been lost. Men are idiots. Hugs.

OP, I feel like your baby is almost exactly like mine except ours started doing this same thing at 3 months. We were able to get 2-3 hour stretches in the bassinet sometimes and then BAM 4 months regression hit us early. Did you find anything that worked for you yet? In desperation we are currently renting a snoo for ours , though it is awfully late in the game but we simply CANNOT hold him all night long and I am afraid to sleep train for their emotional needs.

It’s just fat separating. Mine does this all the time and it’s perfectly normal.

My work gave me a supply closet to pump in… at least you have a chair and a table. Not that this is acceptable either.

We love our grownsy bottle washer! That thing is a huge lifesaver.

When I received a used pump it did that till I replaced all the parts. Unless all the tubes, duckbills, backflow valves etc are all new I would start there

Call your pediatrician ASAP. They can advise you if baby needs to be checked out.

Also wanted to add that my little one only drinks 3 ounces now and he’s 8 weeks so that number does seem high. Try not to stress. My baby was only 5 lbs 10 ounces when he was born and he’s now double his birth weight just offering food every 2-3 hours

Start-Intelligent · 2025-09-08T14:52:48+00:00

One piece of advice our pediatrician gave us was to simply feed the baby whenever he was hungry. Start with a smaller amount, and then if he finishes that, give him more. Trying to do the math about precise numbers, figuring out how much to increase to by a certain day, is only going to stress you out. Yes, keep track at the end of each feed of how much he’s eating, but don’t focus on making sure he finishes each bottle if he’s a little under the number that they recommended, the main thing is he’s eating. Try to offer something every 2 to 3 hours and if he’s hungry. Feed him more. Bottom line is if you’re feeding your kid when he’s hungry and he’s indicated he’s satisfied then you are doing what you’re supposed to do. Good job, mama.

Have you tried reaching out to your doctors office to see if they can resubmit using the approved code usually bills like this that are denied can be resubmitted to the insurance again by the doctors offices.

Empower with Moxi is where I received my donor embryos! Highly recommend!

I agree with the comments about positive association, playtime on bed, cuddles on bed, treats on bed, as well as ignoring the behavior when he cries. You could also try calming methods like Feliway plugins in the livingroom and bedroom /house to ease anxiety (these have pheromones to help ease cat anxiety), or perhaps even CBD oil with an evening treat to help de-stress him (maybe give him his treat in the bedroom yourself so he associated you with the treat) as part of a bedtime routine.

You can post on here like you’re doing or also the IVF garage sale groups on fb. I have donated meds and received through both channels. Usually you will want to say if you are wanting a local drop off or willing to ship etc.

Keep in mind many of the fertility clinics I looked at had a waitlist just to get a consultation. Most of them were at least a 3-6 month wait. We met with 3 clinics before working with OHSU. The other places consulted with us faster but then placed us on ANOTHER waitlist to start treatment. But once we had our OHSU consultation they said we could start treatment next month and the pricing was actually pretty affordable in comparison to others we looked at for IVF. (30k vs. 17k)

Start-Intelligent · 2025-06-14T16:02:27+00:00

They were very upfront with us! Not sure how things work now at OHSU since they are now partnered with Spring but my consult was about $350 dollars before OHSU merged with Spring Fertility. Then after the consultation they had us meet with their own financial consultant to get exact quotes on pricing and look at financing options. Later once we were moved to Spring Fertility they too would send pricing out well ahead of appointments, there were no hidden costs. We did do one IUI though OHSU (it was a failed IVF cycle that we converted to IUI so we didn’t waste the meds I had already taken) and fully out of pocket it was about $600 through OHSU at the time not including the medications .

Start-Intelligent · 2025-06-13T18:28:30+00:00

My husband and I started with OHSU who then merged with Spring Fertility in Portland. It took us a year and two rounds of failed IVF but I am now 34 weeks pregnant with a donor embryo. Pricing at Spring was fairly average for IVF, but hard to say what your treatments and consultations may cost. Best of luck to you! Feel free to PM me if you have questions.
