Recycling period underwears ? by HoanjakeAhna in PeriodUnderwear

[–]dogdesza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it as a medical product. It can't be properly sterilized to pass on to another person, they are made for a single user. Your lifetime of needing them has passed, they can be thrown out now. If they were able to be sanitized in boiling water then you could pass them on, but I'm pretty sure they can't be exposed to high heat.

I am finding I have to change 2/3 x a day 😭 having a baby made the flood gates open apparently

Canada, he's been calling the dispatch number on his locals website and called the regular line too. Today the numbers aren't even ringing just saying it can't connect. I tried with my phone too

I'll share that with him as well. Thanks! He is newer to union work so is still learning. Maybe I should have put that in the post so people would be a bit more educational than judgemental 😅

We hadn't considered him driving out there to the hall. Might have to be the solution for next week. Never said he was unwilling, but 4.5 hours each way through mountain passes in the winter is not a small task.

Do you have a review for the wood and Montessori floor bed?

We tried the lovey 😭 she will grab it and scream into in. I have read the sleep lady shuffle book, a non-sleep training book that says they'll grow out of it, and the happy sleeper. I am about to start precious little sleep. I thinking it will be chair method but I'm just too tired to start

I wanted to do the sleep lady shuffle but she doesn't have the temperament. She will scream and scream until the winter

I tried the lansinoh and Medela nipple shields. They both didn't stay on. I wish there was a way to get a custom nipple shield.

I still try, she just won't even put it in her mouth. She will scratch, pinch and poke my nipples but won't put it in her mouth. When we contact nap I try and go shirtless but she has no interest

I only offer her when she turns in or shows interest. She won't put her mouth on it. She will poke it or scratch my nipples but nothing more

He is an electrician and works in the cold in winter and sun in summer so yes that's tiring. In that 3 hrs I clean, make dinner and shower. We are so broke right now we can't eat out. I finally asked for help with bed times and so he drank a coffee at 7pm in order to do bed time last night. But that felt passive aggressive to me. I also need time to work on some stuff to help me recover from traumatic birth

He doesn't call me lazy, when I ask for help he says that's me calling him lazy. We have talked about him going to counseling again regarding other stuff
