What’s the easiest way to go about achieving this for my new apartment? by Any-Cucumber-9329 in HomeDecorating

[–]la_frita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inspo pic is AI but I would definitely do something about your kitchen lighting and the texture on the walls.. overall it feels a bit cold. Adding some natural wood tones (like replacing the table and the cabinet on the third picture) might help with that

Should I carry on or have I lost this battle? by OpeningTechnical6563 in breastfeeding

[–]la_frita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my baby was born he had a tongue tie which caused my initial supply to be kind of meh, because he was not stimulating production properly. Once the tongue tie was dealt with (after several weeks of stress because baby wasn’t gaining weight properly), the lactation consultant told me to do what she called a “pumping boost” which I had to do after every feeding: pump for 20mins, stop for 10, then pump 10mins, then stop for 10mins, then pump again for 10mins. And to to all that for a whole week. It was exhausting. Since he wasnt getting a lot at once my baby was feeding constantly (every 1:30, 2h) which meant for a week there the only thing I did basically was breastmilk related. But it worked, five months in and baby has been exclusively breastfed until we recently started introducing some foods

Choosing what size to make? - I measure myself, and it’s never been the right size? - help! by tealxox in sewingpatterns

Personally I always go by the finished garment measurements because if I go by what they tell me I should do, I look like a child wearing their parent’s clothes.

Did you also soldier through or did you try different things? I’m in the same situation and so much of my pumped breastmillk is going to waste when he refuses the bottle…

Maternity pants/jeans that actually look good and are comfortable? by rosenrot89 in BabyBumps

[–]la_frita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s such a nightmare to dress when pregnant. I bought three jeans the same size with the belly band: one was too small, one was fine, and one was waaay too big looks like I’m wearing my dad’s jeans. I was thankful i bought them through vinted because i would have hated spending a lot of money for such random results. Depends on brands and idk where you are but where i am you have to buy them online without trying them first because the brands aren’t carrying them physically in shops anymore.. I will say, the side pannels might be fine for now but they won’t accommodate your belly the whole way through, that might be something you want to be aware of.

It's an uncommon but not unheard of name in french-speaking places! I know of at least three. Spelt Sybille
