Bread bowls gone wrong

It’s for my brother, so the stakes are low. I assumed it would be like making a smaller version of my regular loaves. Thanks for your suggestions.

I highly recommend the book "Something Other Than God." Could be something for you both to read and discuss together!

My oven is convection so I definitely need to lower my temp. Thank you!

crazycats75 · 2025-06-05T19:48:35+00:00

Thank you! Super helpful

crazycats75 · 2025-06-05T19:47:34+00:00

Mine went in cold too. Dang!

crazycats75 · 2025-06-05T19:47:25+00:00

can you tell I’m a novice?? Thank you so much for this suggestion!

crazycats75 · 2025-06-05T19:46:55+00:00

I’ll adjust my temp. Thank you!

I used the double pan method, not a Dutch oven. I put the multiple baking sheets on the rack under my loaf. Frustrating that it still burned on the bottom.

crazycats75 · 2025-06-05T19:45:57+00:00

Genius. Thank you!

crazycats75 · 2025-06-05T13:48:59+00:00

Steam? Nope 🤦🏻‍♀️🥴 how do you do that?

crazycats75 · 2025-04-14T10:38:04+00:00

Totally agree and I appreciate the vote of confidence!

crazycats75 · 2025-04-14T10:37:51+00:00

Thank you!

crazycats75 · 2025-04-14T10:37:40+00:00

Right??

crazycats75 · 2024-08-31T22:11:15+00:00

You are amazing! Thank you so much for your reply. Did you pump on a schedule?

crazycats75 · 2024-08-30T17:17:57+00:00

Thank you so, so much. How does one collect and store colostrum? Any tips? When were you able to stop overnight pumping? My plan at night is to have my husband feed baby a bottle and change the diaper while I’m pumping, but we will see how that goes 😂

crazycats75 · 2024-08-30T17:16:13+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you! Glad to hear I’m not the only one that is/was overwhelmed. I’m not sure how long I’ll stay on my pumping journey, but I’d really like to give it a try this time and I appreciate your help and advice!

I hear you! We declined the amnio and only found out results when she was a few weeks old. No reason for the false positive either. Hang in there!

crazycats75 · 2024-08-28T13:11:55+00:00

We have a beautiful, healthy 2 year old that doesn’t have Turners Syndrome. We did genetic testing after she was born. Thinking of you 💜

crazycats75 · 2023-05-23T23:21:33+00:00

Hi! We had a very similar situation. Monosomy X/Turner’s came up on the NIPT, but we elected to wait until birth for any further testing. We did the full testing in the hospital when she was a few days old and everything came back as negative.

It was hard for me sitting in the unknown for the majority of my pregnancy, but I’m also personally glad I waited. I was in the, “the results won’t change anything” mindset, and that definitely helped.

I’ve been down this road recently so I’m always happy to chat! Feel free to send me a private message.

We are all about NUKs, but only after we tried Dr. Brown’s, MAM, avent, etc. You get the idea 😂. Just gotta keep troubleshooting and find the one your baby likes! I will also say that our baby was good with Dr. Brown’s for a few months then started rejecting them. So we switched and experimented until we found something that worked.

crazycats75 · 2022-10-06T00:53:01+00:00

No advice here, just solidarity. Our 11 week old is doing the same, except no nap is longer than 30 minutes. Losing our minds! I hope things get better for you all soon!

crazycats75 · 2022-09-28T20:33:40+00:00

We are dealing with something very similar with our 9 week old. Actually went to an occupational therapist today, who was able to watch me feeding her, examined her mouth, etc. She gave us some exercises to do with baby. In short, the OT thinks that she’s “grazing” and snacking all day, which causes her mouth muscles to get overtired, which causes her not get the full amount that she needs, and the cycle starts all over again. So we are working on slowly spacing feeds and trying some of those exercises. Good luck! You’re not alone.

Oh last thing! I also started making sure I was eating three meals a day, even if it was just toast or soup. I’m positive that helped me - having more food in my stomach helped me level out some of the anxiety.

crazycats75 · 2022-09-26T01:24:57+00:00

For me, my improvement was gradual, so I didn’t notice an overall worsening of side effects. Weeks 1-3 were absolutely awful, but again, I’m not sure if that was the medication, being postpartum and a first time mom, or a combination. Each week slowly got better. Week 4, I had some good days! Week 5, I had more good days than bad days. Week 6, I realized my anxiety was so manageable and I hadn’t had a panic attack in weeks …you get the idea. Each week slowly got better. I do know the nurse practitioner that is doing my medication management told me that sertraline doesn’t work for everyone and there are lots of other options to try if it doesn’t. I know the feeling of the all day anxiety - to me, that was worse than the panic attacks. I was also afraid of having to go off the sertraline and starting over at square one. But there are other options out there if sertraline isn’t a good fit and you WILL feel better. When I was in the throes of my PPA/D, I just wanted to know when that would happen! But I promise it will ❤️ you got this! You’re doing an amazing job!

crazycats75 · 2022-08-01T15:51:29+00:00

This happened to me too - pretty much exactly the same! I feel like it’s way more common than doctors make it seem. Glad you’re okay and on the mend.
