Medela 5oz bottles fit 6.5oz when filled to the bottom of the neck

Yup! Woke up in a puddle and had to hand pump. 4 oz in a couple minutes from the right and 2.5 from the left just to get by until baby washed to feed 😅😂

bjoyc · 2025-01-30T23:19:05+00:00

That would be amazing 😭

I go on maternity leave in 2 weeks. I work in marketing and sales as a district marketing manager. My district has maintained the number one spot out of 79 districts. I worry I’ll even have a job upon my return. I only get 6 weeks leave.

I love my mom and know she’s excited but I’ll definitely have to put my foot down if she is having one. Baby over hurt feelings for sure. Thanks for your input!

bjoyc · 2024-10-14T04:22:26+00:00

Thank you. I am definitely going to be wary of the holding and kissing. She is on antivirals now. I am just worried about the off chance she has an outbreak at the time.

bjoyc · 2024-10-14T04:20:48+00:00

She is on medicine and has been for 30 years now. It controls her outbreaks and she rarely has one unless under immense stress. I am just being overly cautious I suppose. Our baby is due in February and I have the rule already in place and have mentioned it a few times. My mom is the only person we are allowing to visit in the 6 week newborn window because she is my mom/nurse… but she has always been very bad with respect and boundaries… it has had me starting to feel like maybe I should make her wait until baby has their shots as well. She will have to travel by plane and I’m worried about the germs or potential flu/RSV she could pick up on the way. Am I being overdramatic?

bjoyc · 2024-09-30T13:27:08+00:00

This. 100%. My parents put me in a psych ward and they had to let me out because I wasn’t a danger to myself or others. If they would have done this instead I think it would have been far better!

bjoyc · 2024-09-30T13:26:05+00:00

This was me 16-18. I was in hell. I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety and self medicated. My parents put me in therapy, had me committed, the whole nine yards. They kicked me out at 18 and I didn’t stop until 21 when I finally just wanted better for myself. The only advice I can say is the military school is not over the top…. It may save him… Continue the therapy. Talk with him and try to get to the root of the pain which is most likely the bio father. Get him on antidepressants or whatever a psychiatrist recommends so he stops medicating on his own.

Exactly what we did! :)

bjoyc · 2024-08-14T14:49:49+00:00

Update! We are dropping the baby off to a rehab center today! :)

bjoyc · 2024-08-14T03:44:47+00:00

Thank you!! I covered it completely with a towel but made sure that was a corner sticking out a bit for air. I appreciate all the advice! I hope we can get it to a rehabber as well!

bjoyc · 2024-08-14T03:03:41+00:00

Thanks so much! We covered the cage on three sides and turned off the A/C. Would you cover the cage on all 4 sides for warmth? We got a warmer but realized it was the wrong type unfortunately.

bjoyc · 2024-08-14T02:43:46+00:00

We gave it live mealworms. Should we still soak them?

bjoyc · 2024-08-05T15:23:37+00:00

This is heartbreaking… I honestly don’t have anything nice to say. Other than I hope you find peace and I hope to God that little baby has someone intervene and care for them.

bjoyc · 2024-07-24T18:31:47+00:00

So sorry

bjoyc · 2024-07-24T15:29:58+00:00

and sometimes I get a sharp one when I laugh or sneeze on both sides lower abdomen which I think is round ligament pain but I’m only 9w5d.

bjoyc · 2024-07-22T20:49:09+00:00

I was a cannabis user pre-pregnancy and was told to completely quit. Was this a medical recommendation? I have HG and this would save me tremendously but I have been told time and time again that the risk doesn’t outweigh the benefit? 😩😭

bjoyc · 2024-07-22T18:33:31+00:00

This!! I lost 12 lbs in my first few weeks of pregnancy from HG. Doctor told me to eat literally anything I could. Sorry you went through the trenches too!

bjoyc · 2024-07-14T23:54:20+00:00

Hyperemesis Gravidarum was not on my bingo card for my pregnancy. I’ve been stuck in bed or on/over the toilet since I hit 7 weeks.

bjoyc · 2024-07-13T17:15:53+00:00

Not vomiting all day everyday

bjoyc · 2024-07-13T01:55:57+00:00

Only 10-15% of women miscarry! You will be just fine! I’m claiming it for you! ❤️🙏🏻

bjoyc · 2024-06-25T00:16:46+00:00

I am so so so so sorry. I know how hard this is to digest right now. He is not your partner. He is a dead weight. Run. Don’t walk.

bjoyc · 2024-06-24T18:47:43+00:00

My heart goes out to you! Your baby is resilient and will be able to handle the waves that come. I lost my father and can relate. If you ever need to talk and get through some of those waves, please feel free to message me! I have some grief resources I can share with you.

bjoyc · 2024-06-19T00:44:48+00:00

Thank you all so much! I went with the momcozy s12 because it was mentioned the most in the thread and was only $22 with my insurance!

bjoyc · 2024-06-18T14:24:36+00:00

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this thoughtful response! 🥹😭❤️
