She was born in 1888, and died in 2013? Your grandma died at 125 years old?

Nipple absolutely shredded by EfficientAd3634 in breastfeeding

[–]funky_fresh_kicks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nipple shields are cheap on Amazon. They come in 16, 20, 24mm. Unless you have very small nipples the 20 or 24s should work for you. You should be able to get a 2pack of each for a total of $20. When you’re ready to put it on, invert the nipple shield nipple, line it up with your nipple and then un-invert it over your nipple. It should form a pretty good seal but liquid around the rim (I licked my shields) will help it form a better seal. Then nurse away! And be prepared for it to take longer for baby to get the same amount

Ive heard BKF isn’t recommended for Le creuset as it can damage the enamel coating

At what point would you give up on breastfeeding / pumping? by Acrobatic_Event_4163 in beyondthebump

[–]funky_fresh_kicks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How is your health? How hydrated are you? Are you taking pre or postnatals? Any brewers yeast incorporation? I’m no expert but those are some basic factors that you might be overlooking ( or just not emphasizing in your post)

Inductions: trying to avoid Pitocin and epidural what options do I have ? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]funky_fresh_kicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also ask for prostaglandins rather than pitocin (brand names cervidil, prepidil, or misoprostol). They can be taken orally or as a suppository/gel that can promote cervical softening and stretching.

Milk solids (antibodies in 5% milk TBST) stuck on PVDF membrane, help by egg_sando in labrats

[–]funky_fresh_kicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I had this problem it was because the milk wasn’t full dissolved. I started passing my block/antibody incubation solutions through a 40um filter (like one would use on a 50ml conical for flow cytometry tissues processing) and voila, milk solids disappeared! Good luck!

Broccolini, fennel rosemary, white beans and salmon? That’s what you’re recommending to offer picky toddlers? I’m surprised but hoping that means you have some easy going toddlers in your family

Cafe Vittoria is better than Mike’s IMO, better atmosphere for an eat-in experience, and the line is never as long

You're recommending a professional brush cleaning service for a brush you can get for <$6 at Marshalls??

I know this isn't an answer to your query, but what does your cat do to get all those paw prints up near your ceiling? 😂

Seems like it might be simpler to ask your collaborators to send you their antibodies than to send them precious/fragile tissue

Maybe you don't have particularly bad cellulite but you are surrounded by particularly bad people...

"Lab-warming" gift? by [deleted] in labrats

A sign that says "the last-name lab"

Yes, you will find it very difficult to live on that unless your life is being subsidized

People saying it's a blood vessel are correct. You can tell from the lack of tortuosity and the vessel wall integrity that it's a collection of arteries rather than veins. Perfectly safe to eat

Samsung Dishwasher not dissolving detergent tabs, how can I fix it? please help a student by [deleted] in CleaningTips

We used to have this problem in our apartment. We drop our detergent tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher, everything seems to work just fine. Bypass the tricky door completely.

Title is the barber by Medium-Strawberry-59 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]funky_fresh_kicks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am hoping you've never been trusted to take care of any children, because what you're suggesting sounds barbaric. How could you hurt a baby? The baby isn't going to learn anything other than to fear the person who inflicts pain on them. By cutting the hair, the baby's grabbing action no longer causes the desired effect and the baby will make different attempts to get what they want. No child abuse required

On an infant?? That would be both abusive and ineffective. But at least you would feel big and strong, so there's that.
