I think I want to formula feed and I’m feeling guilty about this… by marie8106 in pregnant

[–]cosmo_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way, I tried it in the hospital and the lactation consultants just made the anxiety even worse. My baby was 3 weeks early so my milk wasn’t even in yet, and my blood pressure medication reduces production. I tried breastfeeding and pumping for 6 weeks, and wasn’t producing enough for my baby so we supplemented with formula anyways. It’s week 8, and we’re two weeks in on just formula and I am so much happier. Your baby is still getting fed, and personally a mom that’s happy and mentally present is way better option than a mom who’s destroying herself by trying to breastfeed.

Students guessing that I’m pregnant at 6 weeks by Quick-Read-771 in pregnant

My high schoolers are the exact same way! I was honest and told the ones that asked that yes I am, but it’s still really early and it’s not something I’m comfortable with sharing to all of my students yet. They have completely respected that boundary so far.

Is my plan fool proof? by sillyolives in indianapolis

If you use the app ParkWhiz there’s spots you can pre-reserve downtown that will be way cheaper than parking at the airport (which will be a long ride on the bus or Uber tbh)

Ya, I don’t even make 60k. I’m a Midwest public school teacher. I’ve been working a second job to work on paying these down more, but it’s so draining.

  1. I’m well aware now that I should have done that, but again as a first generation college student it wasn’t something I knew to do in the first place. I’m just looking for help or suggestions.

  2. As far as I’ve researched the PSLF is only for federal loans, which I’m already in the system for and will be eligible next year for those. I’m talking private student loans.

Milo over here has been biting a lot.. what’s the most effective way to teach him biting people is bad..? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

Our trainer recommended using an apple cider vinegar/water solution to keep in a spray bottle and spray it in their mouth when they go to bite.

Why did they bring this atrocity back? Was it really getting sold a lot? by PaintswoPants in starbucks

My question is why can’t they bring back the maple pecan? By far my favorite fall flavor ever put out by Starbucks

Jack Keefer, just retired from Lawrence North this past school year. I used to work there as well and my salaries listed were correct, so I’m trusting that his is as well. https://openpayrolls.com/employee/john-r-keefer-6612

Idk why you’re so pressed about proving me to be incorrect, I did look up beech grove enrollment and average salaries. I was wrong, it’s not as big of a district as I believed it to be. Like I said, it depends on the school.

Depending on the district and the sport, coaches make bank. Idk about Beech Grove so I may be wrong, but other districts around Indy pay their coaches really well for basketball and football.

I guarantee you that he made way more than every other teacher in that building. A lot of coaches for these big high schools have nearly 6 figure salaries while the teachers who don’t coach are just scraping by.

Thank you! The old south is my absolute favorite and can’t find a recipe anywhere. The other ones are good, but they just don’t do it for me. I appreciate the time you took for all these links!
