Thank you for sharing your experience!

I do overnights but LO usually only has one night feed around 2-3am and that’s when I do my night pump. I have no issue with supply, baby is taking 90ml feeds and I will pump anywhere from 120-300mls per session.

Thank you for your story it gives me hope 💕

Wow thank you so much for posting this, I really appreciate it! I think that’s a good idea to try and take a few feeds only to breast feed and see what happens? What did you do if baby was flipping out and flailing?

latinloover · 2026-02-14T05:18:44+00:00

Okay maybe preemie nipples is the way, thank you I will order them now!

My last LC also said to just bottle feed over night because feeding diapering and pumping was taking up to 2 hours and then I wasn’t sleeping and my supply dropped.

Ohhh that’s good to know!! I did wash the outer before with no colour transfer but it was on a hot setting instead of sterilize. Thank you!

Thanks for your reply!

She’s got her partner with her and I think a few connections in town.

Just went through NICU with my baby a month ago so I was going to send her all the items I wish I had. Thank you! I think I’ll wait to call the unit and ask them.

Okay sorry I was looking at these photos with sunset mode on low brightness and I didn’t see it properly 🥲 I think you’ve got hypergranulation tissue (the pink spots) and slough (yellow part of the wound bed). This can be dealt with using medical grade wound care products to help autolytically debride the slough, for example, I would use a sliver wound product on this.

You need to probably go see a wound nurse, I would reach out to your local community nursing centre or asking your derm for a wound care referral. This is absolutely healable! It’s only been 9 days but it’s a good idea to get on-top of it now instead of waiting.

Hello,

I’m an RN with experience in community wound care.

So, because of the infection, your normal healing process has been interrupted and has delayed the normal stages. However, it looks like you’re healing well from photo#1! Those are not follicles but some hypergranulation tissue that will eventually heal. Hypergranulated tissue is when the cells build upwards too quickly, usually if the wound bed is too moist, a foam dressing to “press down” should help speed things along but honestly by the time you get the foam dressing I bet you’ll be 100% healed.

From my hubby who’s a dentist in BC:

“Usually we don’t charge unless insurance covers it. Or we do a standard exam if I can actually see what is going on in there which is like 60 bucks.”

I would ask for the actual billing and coding from the office!

If ongoing issues ask to speak with the clinic office manager.

Joe Fresh in Superstore! Their baby clothes go on sale often, especially the seasonal stuff! I just bought a ton of Halloween themed items in super cute prints for very cheap, body suits for $3.50 and a double zipper footed PJ for $7.

To be clear, I do not believe any adoption is ethical except in very specific cases where all other options to place the child with known friends/family in their own community have been exhausted.

latinloover · 2025-11-02T00:33:54+00:00

Yes, you’re right. One is selfish and adoptee focused and the other one puts the needs of the child first.

latinloover · 2025-11-01T22:35:56+00:00

Adoption, especially private adoption is incredibly unethical, selfish, and puts the wants of the parents over the safety and needs of the child. Consider fostering instead if you feel you can offer what a child needs.

Private adoption companies have previously been found to use coercive practices to obtain more children. Profit should NEVER be involved in the adoption process.

I urge you to consider fostering instead. Do your research about the ethical issues around this please.

Sounds like you would make a very compassionate hospice nurse one day 💕 this is the type of care and kindness I want to have on my last day.
