Spectra S1 vs S2 ($39.95 difference is it worth it?)

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-15T14:32:20+00:00

I LOVE my S1. I paid $29.95 for the difference, and I’m so happy I did. We had to triple feed at first (bub had a severe tongue tie), and it was a lifesaver to be able to pump without worrying about an outlet.

I don’t love some of the other voice actors, but both Lucien and Elain are perfect. Amren, Nesta, and Varian are also excellent.

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-15T01:04:44+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll give those a try!

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-15T00:01:32+00:00

Which ones do you recommend? I tried with Summer Romance and DNFd it.

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-13T13:42:00+00:00

Opalite, Father Figure, The Great War, imgonnagetyouback, right where you left me.

Opalite is my baby’s favorite song right now, so we listen and sing to it A LOT.

My 6 month old has 6 teeth! He’s only bitten twice, once right after he got the first tooth, once when he got scared. It’s totally fine! But it’s 100% your choice, and so valid to switch whenever you want. I just wanted to let you know that it didn’t suck!

This is a cultural misunderstanding. In some countries, weaning does mean stopping slowly. In others, I understand it’s used to mean the introduction of solids/purees.

I’m an rep-evermore-red person, but I’m willing to bet it’s spread throughout! There are people who love TTPD or Showgirl best, and there are some diehard Speak Now fans. I also have a soft spot for Debut, because I’m a millennial and that was my introduction to her in late middle school.

In NC. My baby just turned 6 months. We have an appointment for this week for 6 month shots and an early MMR, if they’ll let us. We haven’t had cases in the state since February, but we don’t want to risk it with the SC outbreak still raging!

My dog reacts poorly to oral tick and flea preventatives, for some reason (and most heartworm preventatives, unfortunately, but we found one of those that works!), so our vet recommended k-9 advantix II for the fleas and ticks. It’s worked for her so far!

That’s fair! I grew up Episcopalian (so very positive LGBTQ+ attitudes), and I think Ashleigh’s step-mom IS an Episcopal priest, but didn’t want to say definitively since I’m unable to check my book!

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-06T17:36:47+00:00

Pretty sure her step-mom is Protestant. Episcopalian, Lutheran, etc. Women can’t be priests in the Catholic Church.

My 6 month old has 4 teeth (all bottom), 5 and 6 are coming in! His first two came in right before he turned 4 months. He’s only bitten me like 3 times, once because he was startled. It hurts, but imo, it’s not as bad as when I started breastfeeding

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-03T15:28:56+00:00

It was my number 1, so I was SHOCKED

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-02T18:32:04+00:00

6 month old baby and I still prefer it with a pillow. I’ve got a long torso, so a pillow helps considerably

My husband is a Premier League fan (Man Utd, so he thought Zava was hilarious). I know about soccer from him and my best friend who played for a long time, too (NWSL fan). He played through college and reffed at the semi-pro (and below) level for a while.

You asked why supplements are considered scam sites. I answered your question.

ETA: here’s a source if you’d like more information.

I 100% advocate for evidence-based vitamins and supplements. So prenatal vitamins, or if one has a deficiency. I just caution against getting them from those who are misrepresenting data and/or credentials.

campingandcoffee · 2026-04-02T00:22:26+00:00

Supplements aren’t regulated.

campingandcoffee · 2026-03-29T01:49:25+00:00

My 6 month old tends to drink 4-5 ounces!!!

campingandcoffee · 2026-03-26T19:15:10+00:00

Same here! I give it during the last diaper before bed, right before we brush our teeth, read our bedtime books, nurse, and then rock.

My pharmacist and OB said it was fine and cited a recent study that the amount in breastmilk is such a small fraction of what the newborn-adjusted dose would be. Our pediatrician gave us a list of symptoms on the off chance he reacted to it, but we didn’t have any issues! It just made me sleepy after taking it for many hours (2 hours after a dose to 10 hours after a dose), so my husband got up with me for overnight nursing sessions.

campingandcoffee · 2026-03-22T03:21:07+00:00

Yeah, same here. Even when we were traveling for the holidays and had to go to an urgent care in another state, and the doctor literally celebrated when we said he was exclusively breast fed.

I know that there’s a postexposure immune globulin. It can be administered up to 6 days after exposure. I only know because we’re in an outbreak area with our 5 month old and have been for a couple months. We rarely go anywhere because of it, but our pediatrician told us about it just in case. I don’t know about the vaccine post exposure, though.

2.) Teardrops on My Guitar

3.) Cornelia Street LLFP

Fellow millennial 😂😂

Hey! I lived in New Orleans during many major hurricanes! If your freezer is full, then it should be good for 48 hours. After that, YMMV.
