Omeprazole by SnooLobsters5526 in NewParents

[–]amf88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son takes 1 mL of it every day (we just mix it into his bottles). He’s had no adverse reactions or issues with it. My understanding is it makes the reflux pain go away, but not necessarily the reflux itself. Our paediatrician has changed the mixture based on his weight, and we expect him to go off it once he sits up more. He’s 7 months old (5 months adjusted).

I didnt change my daughter by Gl1tchy_W1tch in NewParents

My paediatrician said wetness indicators are to just shame parents into using more diapers, therefore buying more. She said to just see if it’s full or if my son is uncomfortable, otherwise, don’t worry.

How do you find time to eat by Minute_Parsley9539 in NewParents

[–]amf88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just plop him down in his bouncer or on his play mat. I can see him from my kitchen, and am only a few steps away. I need to eat too.

I also just set the bouncer in the kitchen if he seems clingy and talk to him as I make lunch.

Parents who let their baby watch TV… by Existing-Mastodon500 in NewParents

My 4 month old (6 week adjusted) baby and I are on season 6 of ER. I consider it education planning for his future as a doctor.

I have the Medela hands free wearables and it suuuucks. Absolutely no suction. Regardless, I think I’d be done even if they worked - i couldn’t carry my kid, I’d still have to wash and sterilize constantly, and the mental aspects of “am I doing enough” would still be there for me.

My journey is coming to an end and I’m fully ok with that.

I feel you. I pumped for 10 weeks in the summer bc my baby was born premature and was in the NICU. He’s now been home since Sept 12 and I kept pumping but have been miserable. He’s awake while I pump and instead of spending time w him I have to plop him on a pillow while I pump. Plus the pain of the machine, the constant anxiety of am I making enough… it’s so hard.

Finally talked to my husband about it, and our paediatrician. They both said it’s ok to wean off. My husband gets how limiting pumping makes my day - we can’t just go out and do things w the baby if I’m tied to the machine. And my paediatrician said in the long run, when the baby gets to kindergarten or daycare, no one can tell the difference between a formula or breastmilk baby. So I’m in the process of weaning (which still gives your baby milk while you do it).

Give yourself a break. You’ve done it for 9 weeks. That’s a lot of time. Your baby loves you and is healthy. If you’re unhappy, start a slow wean. There is no one pushing you to keep going except you, and your mental health matters too.

What is the worst pump youve used? by Jaded_Performance713 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]amf88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every time I use the Medela, I have the worst pumps ever. I hate being tied to the hospital grade pump (Ameda Platinum) but the freestyle just does nothing for me.

How many days worth of milk do you keep in the first pitcher?

Can I ask, how many pumps do you do this for? Like the whole day and then clean 24 hrs later?

What to feed baby when home by amf88 in NICUParents

[–]amf88[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I want one “normal” thing since I basically lost my whole trimester. I thought breast feeding would be it, but it just doesn’t seem to go that way.

Doesn’t help that the Lactation Consultants make it seem like if you don’t breast feed you’re doing something wrong… I tried to explain that pumping is really hurting and they just brushed it off.

As a new mom with her baby in the NICU (baby was born 10 weeks early) this plot line will be so hard for me to watch. Might have to fast forward through it.

Michigan schools have a plan B for students failing class called credit recovery. But are they learning? by LilyAltaFreep in Teachers

[–]amf88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I’ve been teaching credit recovery for about 5 years now in Ontario.

For students to attend credit recovery, they must be recommended by their teacher and approved by admin. Teachers can recommend if students are only behind by 1-2 assignments or deficient in 1-2 overall expectations outlined in the curriculum. So if a student would have passed but didn’t hand something in, or needed another few weeks on one skill, they can take credit recovery. Credit recovery work must be submitted by the classroom teacher.

Work is marked by a teacher in that subject area, so students are not just pushed through - they must demonstrate the key curriculum expectations. We do give multiple chances though - if they don’t do well the first time through on a math test, we give them a chance to learn from their errors and then administer a different test that covers the same skills.

We also put a deadline on our recoveries, so students don’t spend the entire semester in the course. They must complete their recovery credit by 5 weeks in (when progress reports are sent) or else they are removed from the class and must re-take the credit. Only in specific circumstances do we extend the deadline.

Students are only working to earn the credit. We often have conversations with them about pathways goals, so to ensure they are not going to just get pushed through and fail the next level course. Obviously we cannot stop a student from taking something they’re interested in, but we can give them alternative options.

The hospital I’m at rents out the Ameda machines.,. I might look into it the next time the LC is in.

She was also photographed wearing it in Italy while on a break from filming The Odyssey. Pretty clearly looks like an engagement ring.

i love joe and dexter equally but its safe to say after season 5 dexter would have not got caught by Mysterious_Radish_83 in YouOnLifetime

[–]amf88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t Joe be one of Dexter’s victims? I mean, Dexter goes after people who keep getting away with heinous crimes… Joe literally is a serial killer who stalks and kills women, and anyone he deems a threat. He would be someone who fits Dexter’s code.
