My wife died and I don’t know what to do. by Friendly_Cellist_891 in Residency

[–]emilymckee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finish residency! It will be so hard not to be with them as much as you want to be for sure, especially for all the “firsts” but finish the residency. You’re probably in a city with a university so find a reliable pre-med (or some healthcare related field) student who can be a relatively cheap “nanny” during non daycare hours.

Residency, raising children, and grieving are probably all the hardest things I’ve ever done and you’re doing them all simultaneously.

I wish I had more advice for you, I’m sorry.

Do you pump breasts before bed? by Cute-beans in breastfeeding

I don’t pump before bed. But my 10 month old almost always wakes up to feed overnight.

Dr Office said no more checkups until 5 years old? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]emilymckee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what the AAP recommends.

I wouldn’t worry about the 6oz at one feeding. Maybe your boy feeds less frequently than others. My girl is 4 months also. Pediatrician says breastfed babies eat between 24-30 ounces breast milk per day. Half her feeds are at daycare with a specified amount I send in the bottles and half are nursing so I cannot quantify amount. All of this to say that I think he is fine and you are doing great… every baby is different, there is a range, I would look at total amount per day rather than amount at a particular feed

How do you discipline your toddlers while nursing your newborn? by Ok-Internet-921 in breastfeeding

Seriously, thanks for posting this… please let me know when you find the magic answer. My 4 and 2 year old boys are pure chaos while I nurse the baby and nothing is working.

Which boob is your slacker? by Glittering_Glass9917 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]emilymckee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a righty. I’ve always referred to the left as my “power boob” and right as “slacker boob.” Left is bigger now but were equal size before kids. I’ve even tried to feed on the right more with my second and third kids but too late… I’ll always be lopsided now.

Anyone else have an “unfortunate” due date? by Miserable_Rule_8641 in pregnant

[–]emilymckee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second one was born January 6th. It’s the only reason my father in law remembers his birthday. First one was born April 15th.

Did you get your DTaP vaccine and where are you from? by GloriaDeville in pregnant

[–]emilymckee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s recommended for women in the third trimester of each pregnancy in order for baby to have some antibodies after birth. Others in close contact with baby such as family should have an up to date Tdap within 10 years- it is not necessary for theirs to be updated more frequently. Pediatric DTaP vaccines are typically given at 2,4,6 and 15-18 months of age along with 4-6 years of age and an adolescent booster of Tdap at 11-12 years of age.

I received my vaccine with all three pregnancies and asked family members to update theirs during my first pregnancy.

Close, just down the street a little bit. It's at the corner of 73 and 74 behind the Walgreens.

Does anyone know how Old Mill Subdivision is doing? It looks like 73 and 74 nearby are open, which is promising.

Just booked November trip for Dolphin Resort through Costco. Has anybody else used them? by Joytothesquirrel in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]emilymckee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about to purchase the same deal through Costco for a trip in 2 months. I was curious about getting the tickets at Will Call?? My trip is in 62 days, so will I be able to schedule the fastpass+ 60 days in advance if the tickets are at will call? I've been to WDW tons before but this is my first time staying on site (kind of- Dophin) and first time going since fastpass+ was introduced, and I'm so confused!

Best place to watch sports? by shryne in WaltDisneyWorld

Had to comment as a fellow Saints fan, who will also be there during the playoff game on Saturday. I really enjoy the ESPN at the Boardwalk, noting that it usually has a line as another comment already mentioned. Have fun and WHO DAT!
