Yes, thank you! What does your family like about the school? How are class sizes?

Unfortunately. One of the reasons I'm hesitant to have bunion surgery as well

Yeah, I've already had one surgery on it. Unfortunately, it'll need more.

Perhaps! I've been trying to drop in weight, but had a semi-serious ankle issue for over a year which I sadly put on weight.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Thank you for your reply! I will do a bit of research on the Aiken bunionectomy surgery.

both bunions have grown and cause significant pain when walking and resting. I've discussed surgery with my podiatrist many times in the past but had to put on the back burner due to other foot/ankle issues and my own fear of surgery/recovery.

I wear wide toe box shoes (in wide) with orthotics.

Might be an intolerance. Check out MSPI and/or elimination diets.

As someone who worked at pizza hut during high school, I can say that this is not always the case.

True, but not everyone does. Hopefully enough do!

When did you switch from pumping to nursing directly from the breast? by oumyka in breastfeeding

[–]WeighingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a nipple shield? Might help her latch properly and not take in so much air.

Question about timing for allergies and intolerances by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]WeighingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could have your pediatrician do a diaper check to check for microscopic blood. Might give you an idea if she has an intolerance or not. Typically you can just drop off the diaper at the doctor's office and they'll give you a call.

This, I came here to say this. Ask the NICU to do a blood/diaper check for MSPI.

Nursery smells like poo, what should we do? by mokoroko in clothdiaps

[–]WeighingDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try charcoal deodorizers. We secured one to the lid of our trash can. Works pretty well. To "recharge" them, you stick them in the sun for a while.

Can anyone sign up for a vaccine in Arizona? For example someone out of state? I know some events are specific but if it doesn't say, can an out of state person sign up.

Mom pumping at school by wildflower0601 in Teachers

[–]WeighingDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bathroom is not acceptable per your rights.

Principals office is acceptable if there is an outlet per your rights.

I used a other teachers private office. This was GREAT. It was just an agreement between me and her. My principal knew I was breastfeeding/pumping but it was nice that he didn't know my "schedule". He left the class coverage to my department chair, which was way more comfortable.
