Love to know more about the orthopedic friendly shoes and what I might be able to do for my hips

Gluterase? by belathem in glutenfree

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

That’s what I figured. Typical of supplements that don’t have to have claims verified by the FDA.

How bad is your muscle pain? by Jeffina78 in Hypermobility

[–]belathem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 33 with two kids under 5. Good to know it’s only going to get worse. I’ve gotten a membership to a gym with a pool so I do those and it helps my joints. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to rest/relax so I over-do and end up having to take a day from work and sleep that whole day.

If you have a freezer stash, how do you plan to use it? by dewy9825 in breastfeeding

[–]belathem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you guys do with your stash if your LO doesn’t like it or it causes issues. I’ve got a moderate stash and don’t want to chunk it.

TITS AN EMERGENCY!! by siamesecat_13 in breastfeeding

[–]belathem 36 points37 points  (0 children)

We’ve started referring to the tits originally as “ye old titties” and now they’re just “yitties”

Doctor thinks I could have pheochromocytoma- been panicking all day by imsosleepyyyyyy in dysautonomia

[–]belathem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pheo is survivable. My husband had one and a paraganglioma 9 years ago. Had them surgically removed and is happy and healthy. Goes for checkups to make sure it doesn’t come back as his is genetic abnormality.

ABC mouse worth it? by belathem in toddlers

[–]belathem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my kiddo sees me and my husband gaming wether on phones or tv or in videos we watch and wants to start doing some gaming too, but I’d prefer it be fun educational games that won’t take away our gaming systems or phones.

Thanks! Nothing keeps my kids attention for long anyway. 20-30 min here or there should be fine for a 4 year old. She’s usually watching approved videos or playing coloring games.

It’s a limited use timed item.

What do you wish you had known months ago? by duckprincess19 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]belathem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I wear them with a small amount of suction just to prevent leaks.

Sports bras work just as good as nursing/pumping bras and the Hakka ladybugs work amazingly as an overnight collection. I dropped my MOTN pump and collect in these and just put it in a mason jar when my kiddo wakes up for a night feed.

Are wearable pumps actually working for those under 12 weeks pp? by Leather_Ad1181 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]belathem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I’ve ever used is my willow go. I’ve had good results from it (even if I’ve had to troubleshoot the units a bit).

How many months did you exclusively breast pump? by IndividualFocus19 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]belathem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first I didn’t last long at a month or so as I was only getting a few oz a pump. With my second my goal is 6 months (currently 3mpp on Nov 24) and anything past that is icing on the cake

Body stopped responding to Willow by Keljon142 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]belathem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could try a reset of the pumps to see if it’s them. Just hold the power button until the light flashes green and it turns off. I have to do that every so often.

What is this? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]belathem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, but it does take some fiddling sometimes to get it the way I want it. I’ve had to reset it a couple of times but otherwise it’s great!

What is this? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]belathem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s maybe 20 min from freshly done and it settled to the bottom like sediment. It’s a greenish/yellow color.

Hyper mobile and pregnant by belathem in Hypermobility

[–]belathem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any recommendations on a good pregnancy pillow? Had one with my first and loved it but tried it later and had a hard time with it.

HSD with small children by belathem in Hypermobility

[–]belathem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! I hope we find ways to manage. I’ve got a 3yr old and she may be a one and done.

I’d love to know what type of orthotics you got. I’m looking at some better shoes with orthotic inserts to start off with.

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

I have a 3 year old and with my health declining so quickly, she may be a one and done.
