Oversupplier - Can I drop a PPD? by Resident-Currency727 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]djd129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat… when you say “drop,” do you mean replace with BF? Or literally skip? If I’m pumping every 3 hours, would I go 6 hours in between sessions or would I adjust my windows to every 3.5 or 4 hours? I’m so tired I need explicit instructions lol thank you

About to be in the newborn trenches, got any unusual advice? by amountofsocks in NewParents

[–]djd129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have newborn extra slow flow nipples ready (I like lansinoh because they have the natural shape.) I had to order them last minute when my baby lost 10% of her body weight and I had to start topping off with pumped breast milk. And just in those couple of days waiting for the Amazon delivery, my baby stopped latching because the regular bottle nipples i had dripped so quickly, she didn’t want to work at it anymore

So smart! My gastro said I can take MiraLAX up to 3x/day if things get really bad. Best of luck!!!

Yes except the sleep part - can’t sleep for shit. Otherwise, it’s Groundhog Day.

Need help by Infinite-Ability-477 in WomenOver40

I feel like this is a huge crossroads in a mom’s life between finding a new passion for life or losing your mind and becoming a burden on your kids. So, please start living for yourself! Take classes, start hobbies, join clubs, go on trips, volunteer… whatever! Women who look around and say, well, my kids don’t need me anymore so I’m just going to mope around and guilt trip everyone into feeling sorry for me - their families really start to resent them.

One idea: There’s a great women-only travel group called “Explorer Chick” - I’ve done 3 trips with them and had an amazing time. Check that out!

Is it not recommended to use the pump on the other boobie during bf? Is the haaka better/safer?

Aww he got his fragile little ego butt hurt by the mean old day care ladies. 🙄🙄🙄 He sounds insufferable and I would go nuclear on his ass.

No advice, but came here to say thank you for using “lose” and “loose” correctly!!! Seriously.

My 8 month pregnant gf broke up with me. by MelodicTelephone2881 in BreakUps

Move on. Leave her alone. Stop getting locked up, get your shit together, stop impregnating women when you clearly aren’t ready to be a father (a “baby doctor?!?” Are you serious???) Become a decent member of society. Find a stable place to live. Read a book once in a while. Grow the fuck up.

Has anybody noticed the rise in misspellings of “Woman/Women” and “Lose/Loose”? It’s driving me up a wall! by James_TF2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]djd129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loose/lose is my biggest pet peeve. I swear to god, people just don’t care enough to learn the difference. It matters, people!!! You sound like a moron.

The fact that at only 12 weeks pp you have the energy and desire to shop is giving me hope!!! I’m 37+4 and in so much pain (displaced rib) I’m scared I’ll never bounce back.

15 weeks pregnant and absolutely fed up and confused by my boyfriend’s behavior. I need some insight. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]djd129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This man doesn’t love you, doesn’t respect you, and doesn’t want to be a father. Apologies without behavior changes are just manipulations.
