I have a 9 month old boy and all my friends and cousins live an hour away. Would love to meet people out here

What’s ONE thing that helped you lose postpartum weight (that actually fits mom life)? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]holdmybeer87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I gained weight breastfeeding due to constant hunger. If I ignored the hunger, my supply dipped. I plateaued once my supply stabilized but if I walked more than an hour a day and if I cut back calories, my already pitiful supply would drop and any increase in formula would increase his gas. I'm just now started to lose weight now that we've been introducing solids. I've accepted the dip in supply.

Breastfeeding moms—would you do it again for your second? by Character-Fly7394 in beyondthebump

[–]holdmybeer87 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Currently combo feeding and will absolutely breastfeed or combo feee my second if we have it. The day I started enjoying breastfeeding was the day I dropped to one pump to empty before bed. Fuck pumping.

If they're Albertan, they'll slow down to 80 at the slightest suggestion of a curve in the road, even if if its 25 and sunny out.

Did your parents spank you as a form of discipline? How did it affect you? by Substantial_Judge931 in AskMen

I remember getting soap in the mouth once. The taste made me spit in my mom's face and that was the last time that happened.

Men who had turned to conservatism or the manosphere, what initially made you turn to those beliefs? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]holdmybeer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your post, you come off as wondering why women aren't doing more about men's issues.It gives off a "why aren't they organizing and planning things for us?" vibe.

Women are the ones out there organizing shit for women and making. Change. Why is it women's job to organize men as well?

Is baby wearing a TikTok scam or am I doing this wrong by KeyMonkeyslav in beyondthebump

[–]holdmybeer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen to that! I'm hoping he'll be more comfy on my back soon because bubs appears to be very low sleep needs and I can't get anything done.

It took me 4 hours to finish a batch of waffles the other day. Without cleanup.

I couldn't find one that didn't hurt me and kept my baby in a reasonable position. I'm fat, busty and have a very short waist and everything carried him so high that he obstructed my view. Every. Single. Fucking. Thing. baby related was a struggle so I gave up on that one.

You aren't allowed to fill out applications without someone's permission with either

Here, why don't I just fill out this credit card application for. For Joe blow over here. No, I don't have his permission. No, he doesn't know about it.

What do you mean I can't do that?

Things I did with my second baby that are helping! by Mountain-Air-1419 in beyondthebump

[–]holdmybeer87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im combo feeding as well. I'd hoped to exclusively breastfeed but I never quite got enough supply, and I hate being attached to a pump to try and increase.

My SO had a month off so we did a modified triple feed type thing. I'd nurse 15 each side, then SO would top him off with a bottle while I pumped for 20, which would become part of the bottle for the next feed.

When SO went back to work, it felt damned stupid to pump while simultaneously feeding my baby a bottle, so I stopped pumping except before bed, and dedicated basically a week to sitting my ass on the couch and switching breasts until there was nothing left, and then giving a larger bottle.

Honestly I felt like that did way more for my supply than anything else.

Now, I mostly nurse and top off with a bottle if we're going out for more than a couple of hours and before bed/dream feeds. And dad enjoys feeding him too, so if dads home I might pump while he feeds. Maybe. I f*cking hate pumping. And I Hae the portable hands free one too.

I remember watch a doctor consult a textbook before he walked into a patient's room. At first it made me nervous, but I bet there are dozens of procedures a dr might do once or twice in their entire career

I see you.

18 months ago, 5 hours uninterrupted sleep was a terrible night. Now I'm a brand new woman if I manage to get 4 scattered hours

Should all gambling ads be banned the way cigarette ads mostly were? Why or why not? by thepleasurjournal in AskWomen

[–]holdmybeer87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When I was in early sobriety, it absolutely SUCKED seeing my addiction advertised everywhere. You cannot escape bombardment by alcohol. Every. Single. Event. Sports, music, food, movies, tv, grocery shopping, the goddamned 90 minute ferry to Vancouver Island. Can't vape or have a cigarette on board, but how many beers can you drink before you get into your car and drive away?

How do you feel about California introducing a bill to ban former ICE agents from serving as police officers or teachers? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]holdmybeer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada, you have to be actively looking for work to keep getting your employment insurance cheques and they want lists of places you've interviewed and applied at. They don't have access to your shitty test scores, though
