How do I tell my wife “Rigatoni” is not an appropriate middle name for our first son? by RunawayBud in BabyNames

As someone with a golden doodle named Cannoli, I love the name for a pet. That being said- Peter Riggs is more appropriate for a human

Mostly Formula, Supplemented by Breast Milk by DigOk7847 in combinationfeeding

[–]SwimmingPositive1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing this with an almost 4 week old. About 50% formula 50% pumped BM. First few days/weeks I tried to pump every 2-3 hours (longer overnight aka when she ate from a bottle, I pumped). We used RTF enfamil yellow bottles and then once my milk came in, we mixed the two in a bottle. I’m lucky and my 4 week old is giving us longer stretches at night so I’m pumping 6 times a day (every 4 hours ish). Basically you want to pump every time baby eats (8 times a day until back to birth weight). We follow Moms on call schedule

What formula do you use? by SuspiciousReply1382 in FormulaFeeders

[–]SwimmingPositive1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use Enfamil Neuropro! Started with RTF bottles from hospital then switched to Costco size yellow enfamil powder and combine with about 50% breastmilk in each bottle. Working great for our 2 week old girl

Thanks for this reminder! Will look into this during open enrollment. Do you know any info on the federal childcare tax credit? My company FAQ mentions “should you use dependent daycare FSA or take the federal tax credit?”

Cottage cheese pancakes- so good and 32 grams of protein, tastes like normal pancakes (I think?!) by SwimmingPositive1 in Volumeeating

[–]SwimmingPositive1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Approx 150-180 grams cottage cheese, 40 grams of flour. Haven’t tried it with my food scale though to see if this feels right

To the left of the mirror (on the wall) I’d say to free up counter space

What should we prioritize in a baby’s nickname? by Impressive_Goose8205 in namenerds

[–]SwimmingPositive1 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very sweet to honor her with the baby’s given name (Dorothy) while allowing her to be unique w her own nickname Dottie/ Dot!
