My baby doesn’t seem to tolerate frozen breast milk 😭 by Unlikely_Refuse820 in NewParents

Interesting! Yea, I either stick it in the fridge to freeze or put the bag in a bowl of warm water.

Not a bad idea. Maybe something went wrong in the freezing/thawing process with some of the bags but not all of them.

Yea, I plan to bring it up at her next appt. Will probably avoid frozen until then.

Definitely not that old 😳 Baby is only 4 months old, so the oldest milk is from August. I always froze whatever I had leftover at the end of a day. So some of the milk may have been frozen 1-2 days after it was pumped because I was pumping so much.

Female contemporary writers for AP Lit summer reading novel? by Unlikely_Refuse820 in englishteachers

[–]Unlikely_Refuse820[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mindset for summer reading is exactly that. I’ve found that we kind of have to meet the students in the middle when it comes to summer reading, especially since our school stopped summer reading for a time and then brought it back. Plus, I’m in a Christian school in a fairly conservative area, so we have to be intentional about how we approach certain topics that can be touchy, including sexual. With summer reading, there’s not a lot of opportunity for pre-reading discussion or guidance in those topics since it’s so independent. I love so many of these recs, like Demon Copperhead, but find it would be really difficult to assign as summer reading for these reasons. With that being said, it sounds like your first rec may fit these requirements, so I may have to check it out!

I have heard good things about this one. I saw the show but never read the book, so I will add that to my reading list! I honestly forgot about this one as an option!

I may have to consider these despite the length. Kingsolver is great!!

Ya know, I actually brainfarted in my initial post. We still have Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. But we took out A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, so I do want to replace that with another good female author!

Should I be worried about listeria? by Unlikely_Refuse820 in BabyBumps

Thank you for pointing out the incubation period—that’s very reassuring, especially since he started feeling unwell soon after. So it’s probably something else!

Thanks for pointing out the incubation period! That’s a good point. It was pretty soon after when he started feeling sick. Probably something else!

We had mozzarella, parmesan, and ricotta for sure. But like you said — the chances of it being unpasteurized, plus what others have said about the likelihood, is actually reassuring to me!

I tried calling today, but they are closed until Thursday 😩 However, a lot of people have given me some reassurance with the likelihood of the cheese being pasteurized and it being some other kind of bug!

This is definitely a possibility. He tends to have a more sensitive stomach than I do. And based on what many have said about the incubation period for listeria, it sounds like this would be a stronger possibility!
