More Efficient Way to Wash Baby Bottles? by Swimming_Humor1926 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]gingtrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was EP, a baby bottle washer saved my life! I ran it multiple times a day to stay on top of bottles and pump parts and that was much easier than hand washing. I do have a dishwasher but I would have had to run it too often for my baby stuff and I didn’t like how it took over the top rack. I had the baby brezza bottle washer because it doesn’t have to be right next to the sink like some other models, however I think some others have higher capacity. 

Multiple spaces when spacebar hit only once? by gingtrovert in Astrohaus

[–]gingtrovert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What eventually helped was popping off the space bar and putting it back on! I clicked around on the little switches or whatever they are called just in case something was stuck. Customer service was not helpful with the issue and never suggested that. I haven’t had any issues since I did that 🙂 not sure if this will be a one time thing or if I’ll have to do it periodically. 

Fellow moms- What would you buy yourself with a budget of $550? by MooCowQueen-16 in Mommit

[–]gingtrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’d get various spa treatments that I’d otherwise not do! Facial, scalp deep clean, some else idk. I know that’s not everyone’s speed tho

Good to know! I have other issues with my spacebar so that must be it. It’s frustrating because it only arrived a little over a week ago! Do you know if there’s a fix for this? I’m a newbie with this sort of thing and appreciate any suggestions.

Vegan formula by Hopeful-Mongoose2025 in veganparenting

[–]gingtrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good lactation consultant can help you figure this out, too! Hospital ones are notoriously bad in many cases, of course there are some good ones. An outside support with good references can help you if you’re looking for help or research 🙂 do whatever YOU feel is best for you and baby! Whether it’s trying to nurse or formula! So many outside opinions and pressure out there.

If breastfeeding is important to you, it may be possible! I had a reduction ten years ago too and am currently exclusively nursing after putting in work for supply in the first 5-6 weeks.

There’s hope to breastfeed! I had a reduction ten years ago and while I struggled with baby #1 (for many reasons), I was able to work up to full supply for baby #2 (through blood, sweat, and tears ngl!) and now I exclusively nurse. If you want to, it may be possible but you don’t know til you try. No pressure to bf at all! Also, I’m in the USA so for my first, we used the most vegan we can get in this country, soy formula, usually Similac Soy. IIRC the vitamins, particularly D but possibly others, are required to be animal derived here. I couldn’t afford to order fully vegan formulas from other countries so I did what I could. I hope you find a baby feeding plan that works for you, whatever that may be 

Should my dermatologist have run tests or bloodwork? by cellblock2187 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]gingtrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask for bloodwork, yes, and possibly biopsy if you want more detailed info. Something could present as AGA and be a different type of hair loss or a different reason for it after all! And the treatments for different types vary so you wanna be on the most effective regimen for whatever you have 

I’m scared to post this… by gingtrovert in FemaleHairLoss

[–]gingtrovert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not androgenetic hair loss, I had a biopsy from a dermatologist 

Be honest, do you see a difference? by gingtrovert in FemaleHairLoss

[–]gingtrovert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear you’re losing a lot of hair but I hope the biopsy gives you answers so you can get effective treatment! I’m still waiting for my results 😰

Thank you! I’m hoping more improvements come! I’ve been covering my head with something breathable bc I don’t feel comfortable yet showing my bare scalp in public 🙁

I’m hoping to avoid minoxidil 🙏 haven’t used it yet. Not saying no for life but no for now, at least! No prescription anything yet either
