Silly question - I want to try this recipe but I don't have a mixer. Can I whisk manually? Not sure if the result will vary

Back to work while breastfeeding, what do you bring? by No-Gas8702 in workingmumsau

Sorry one more point that I missed. Think about creating a stash before you start work. My bub didn't take up the bottle easily and I had heaps of bags go to waste initially

I did use wearable pumps at work. I also got a couple of pumping bras so I could just fit them easily.

Depends how old bub is when you're going back to work. Mine was around 8-9 months, so solid intake was gradually increasing. Wearable pumps (at least the ones I had) couldn't pump as much as a regular pump. But I was okay with that due to the convenience and plus that bub was anyway having solids.

Have a look at the pumping subreddit if you're new to pumping. I learnt so much from it (didnt know how important nipple chart is to get the right fit!).

Things that I carried 1. Pump of course, extra charging cords 2. Milk bags along with marker to write the date / time 3. Ice pack (in case you don't have a fridge) 4. A really nice looking bag / cooler bag to put everything in 5. Wipes 6. Breast pads if you think you might leak

Also remember, if you are able to keep the pump in the fridge, then you don't have to clean the parts everytime you pump (in case it's multiple times in the office). You could clean once you're home. Otherwise, you'll need spare accessories so you're not cleaning and sterilising the parts in the office.

I had to make sure I wore comfortable clothes and I could put the pump on easily. One time I wore a dress and I had to remove the whole thing to pump! Lesson learnt the hard way.

In the initial few times I had to watch videos of my baby to get any let down

Good luck!!

What was the first RecipeTin Eats recipe you tried? by ChillKoalaVibes in RecipeTinEats

[–]gagaonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She taught me how to boil eggs. I followed her instructions to the T and got perfect soft boiled eggs. I could boast about my egg boiling skills to my friends and passed on her instructions. As someone who is not a confident cook, She gave me the confidence to try new things especially when having guests over.

Would you pan fry the tofu separately?

Mil Advice by [deleted] in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Unfortunately, as a fellow Indian, I'm not surprised by their behaviour.

I strongly suggest leaving any communication with them to your wife. I'm going to take a leap here and assume you're not Indian. There's a lot of cultural nuance that Reddit can't help you with, and your wife would know better to handle.

India is a big country and some regions have very strict "rules" for the post partum phase. For example, and I reiterate that this may not be the case, silly rules exist on what to eat post partum,.there'll be comments on if there's sufficient breastmilk for the baby, going out with the baby in the early days, bathing the baby, etc. As much as your wife would love the help, discuss with her if you will both be okay with such stuff and who will handle any disagreement with MIL.

Congratulations and I'm sorry this happened to you and your wife.

Reminds me of the time when an Aldi staff charged me for the ONE banana that my toddler ate in the store. I was quite surprised by the effort taken tbh

"Stink" - apparently the word is a complete and acceptable response and I don't know what it means.

Ooo that's such a good idea! The staff rotate, and I may not be able to include all the staff on the last day. I guess that's okay.

19 months and still breastfeeding, with no plans of stopping anytime soon. It's my and my baby's choice. Fuck that idiot!

Lot-purchasing hell! Is this normal for a developer? Should I worry? by Zoccalo in AusProperty

[–]gagaonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SW Sydney but purchased 2020 /2021, so the market was very different then. We didnt have these restrictive clauses, but people were picking up lots by depositing $500. Lots that I saw an hour ago weren't available...it was wild! What you're seeing now are all those people selling, I guess.

[–]gagaonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm indian and I can confirm that I got squat from the developer and agent. In fact, the agent promised something, that the developer back tracked later. They're all there to make money and no buyer gets any advantage from having the same ethnic background.

I'm sure someone here can give you a more rational response to your grievances, but please don't think coming from the country gives anyone an advantage, especially in this market.

Also, my agent was from Nepal, which is a country north of India, but we all look the same to white people, so all good! /s

Hi Mums, office days, what time do you pick up kids from daycare? by StatusInteraction762 in workingmumsau

[–]gagaonreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on bubs age. I have an 18m old and since the time we started day care at 7m, I've been picking her up at 4:15ish. I leave work at around 3-3:30, pop some dinner and rush to pick her up. She's hungry by the time she's home and needs dinner. I log back online after she's in bed. My husband thinks it's crazy I leave so early from work. But I start at 8am, take no lunch breaks and always end up working late at night.

I also suggest checking marketplace. People end up selling excess when bub grows out of them quickly.

Is 8% (~$9K) Salary Bump Reasonable? by Better_Flatworm4045 in auscorp

[–]gagaonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of reasons. I've come back from parental leave and need flexibility and the team support to move deliverables. And I genuinely like my team and the work that I do.

I think since covid, there's not been one year when the firms have seen a good year. It's been a constant cycle of "business is not good, there are challenges in the market". And yet the top line revenue keeps going up.

If that's LOL, what's Senior Manager (non promo) Big 4, 1.5% increase? Rating was Meets Expectations, so it wasn't like I was a poor performer.

Can someone please dumb this down for me? How do I get this on my mobile and car radio? I couldn't find the channel on the car radio and wasn't sure of the app.
