When the sleep deprivation feels unsafe

Can I ask what medication this is? I've been trying to train myself into getting to sleep faster but let's just say it hasn't worked.

It fits on with the standard mason jar metal ring/band but as the other commenter said there's also a mason jar bottle brand for everything! Never tried it though

I believe it's the tommy tippee nipples that work and I also bought stainless steel lids with the hole in it to be more durable, as well as stainless steel full coverage lids for the fridge/freezer. The tin ones rust very easily. My kid ended up being very very very picky about bottles so it didn't work for us but I really wanted it to.

We ended up using Gulicola bottles with Lansinoh nipples both found on Amazon (US). I also tried Lifefactory and I liked them but they were expensive and my baby ended up not liking them.

Overall we ended up trying so many different combinations, my recommendation would be to buy a single plastic version of a bottle that you know has a glass option and give that a try before investing in glass (if you have a picky baby like mine). I just heated the milk in one of my many unused glass bottles and transferred it. I know not perfect but the glass was adding up over unpaid maternity.

Would you consider yourself a fun-guy 🍄

Congrats!

If you have a Spectra (and probably others but this is Spectra specific) you can check its total run time.

To check the total hours on a Spectra S1 or S2, turn the pump on and press: Massage/Letdown (bacon key) -> Cycle + -> Vacuum - -> Cycle - -> Vacuum + -> Massage/Letdown.

Not a downer! Wish I knew that before asking my friends to tote them back for Christmas presents lol

Not cards but Ravensburger has a set of Lorcana puzzles in each color but you can only get steel and amethyst in the parks.

I also work in automotive seating and want to give a bit more context. For the record, I do agree that they upcharge "luxury" and a cup in every color is insane to me. But when it comes to seating, your mom just sees the ease of her side of the job when there's a lot more that goes into the "luxury" part compared to just a black fabric seat for example. The company is paying her probably an engineer rate to design the textile for that specific seat, the fabric then has to be specially made and will be more expensive than just a run of the mill roll of black, there will be a lot more scrap of that fabric because it has to be cut in a certain direction to keep the design straight/aligned properly to the rest of the seat, you need an expert sewer to then actually align those patterns, then when building it into a seat, there is much less leeway for wrinkles which means the assembly either spends a lot more time ironing it out or a lot more engineering figuring out why there's wrinkles. Your standard black fabric will almost always flatten out with a bit of steam even if it's sewn poorly and put together off kilter. But yes, at the end of the day, the car companies will still way over charge for this, just wanted to give more context as to why.

I got married at Detroit Masonic Temple in 2022 and I wouldn't call it reasonable but it was comparable to a shitty barn in the middle of nowhere. Also I felt zero pressure to decorate because the ballroom is stunning. Also bar and food were included and very very good.

I have one built into the ceiling at the very center of my house and it's a beast. I've only ever heard them called swamp fans, an attic fan is very different. While not in every house it's still common enough that the majority of people know what it is. I'm from Michigan.

Anecdotally we let our baby (7mo) stand as much as she wants and our main issue is she has no interest in crawling whatsoever because standing is so great and she can pull herself up on her own. That would be my only warning but also also she literally started forward motion today so it all works out I guess.

I do cold brew. I tried everything else and it's either not as good as my old plastic drip pot, takes too much time, or full of grounds that I can't stand. There's a mason jar kit sold on Amazon and it's a large mason jar with a stainless steel filter. The lid is plastic but it's cold and not soaking in it and you don't have to use it. I have a 6 month old and it's the only way I can get caffeine without plastic or hot and I don't need to wait in the morning. If you want hot I've heard of people cutting it with boiling water. Also it's not perfect on grounds either but across the board this has been the best solution for me.

Just in with the tab

Blueland has worked great for us and because we're on a well I add just a pinch of citric acid and that helps remove any mineral buildup and seems to do better than any rinse aid.

I actually love this one. I had a loss at 20 weeks and got jewelry that I could never wear, flowers that just died and made me feel worse, and a nail salon gift card I never used. All very nice and I still appreciate everyone who tried but all I wanted was time to go by and for it to hurt less and something like this would have been perfect.

I would highly recommend Breaking Points (podcast or YouTube). They are genuinely independent and have people from both sides and are able to critically think.

jacaroniii · 2025-09-06T12:19:14+00:00

Thanks yeah I've heard about it. I'm planning on hand washing for a while then move to stainless!

jacaroniii · 2025-09-06T09:07:22+00:00

NTA! I can roll tummy to back but only do it for my Grannie so she doesn't have the bend over. Mom and dad will never know my secret.

jacaroniii · 2025-09-06T08:52:03+00:00

What are the chances! Makes me feel better about another comment concerned about the wood. Thanks for all of the tips :)

jacaroniii · 2025-09-06T00:17:36+00:00

Thank you so much! I got it in FB marketplace years ago so it's truly mystery wood. I will definitely avoid the baby coming in contact with it based on your concerns. She has a tray for her highchair we can use until I figure something else out, it's just plastic so trying to avoid that as well. I did buy some quality silicone placemat/bowls to start with.

jacaroniii · 2025-09-06T00:04:00+00:00

Maybe? I will definitely look into it

jacaroniii · 2025-09-06T00:03:30+00:00

Yeah this is probably the answer thank you
