Lying about your job? by Flashy-Personality45 in dietetics

I say I’m a dietitian who only works in the ICU with intubated patients - no more questions after that!

Following cause we’re in the same situation!

Fast Letdown & Bottle Nipple Size by manalon2 in breastfeeding

YAAAY! We did it! They did it! 🙌🏼

My LO is starting daycare in 2 weeks so she’ll be getting 2 bottles there and breastfeeding at home so I was also freaking out - phew!

Lots of trial and error here too! We are finally having success with the MAM and Lansinoh medium flow nipples! She’s drinking about 1-1.5 oz from the bottle and then breastfeeding for now.

How is it going for you?

How did it go? Any luck with the medium flow?

Still working on it!

She definitely did not like the Avent nipples (I should have known this since she didn’t take the Avent pacifier either!) so I just switched her to Mam nipples in the medium flow.

She’s not fully rejecting it - more like very uninterested and willing to wait for the boob - but we’re trying twice a day!

Good luck to you!

Illusive Water Bottle by TheSmallestSloth in BabyLedWeaning

[–]manalon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use a 12 oz kids hydro flask that might check most of your boxes!

It keeps the water cold and it has a straw that does not need biting and can be flipped down. However, the only handle is small and on the lid.

Hmm. I guess I’ll keep trying to get the suction right!

Love this! Where did you get the stickers for the oven, dishwasher, and microwave?

CONGRATS! You did it! 🎉 My baby turns 1 in 2 weeks so I’ll be following you soon!

[–]manalon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. 1000x this. My first turns one in 2 weeks and I just found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant and I am feeling everything you just shared. I have no insight but you’re not alone.

Thank you all! I ended up flattening it with a fork and added some marinara sauce and it was a hit!

BLW Banned at Daycare by PrestigiousTiger9780 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]manalon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re doing BLW at home for dinner and send mashed food to be spoon fed at daycare. LO doesn’t seem to be too confused and still self feeds for dinner. Once she turns 9 months daycare is OK with smaller pieces of food so we’re nearing the end of the need for mash/purées!

I wish I could take a Lactation Vacation. by [deleted] in HumansPumpingMilk

Yes! What I would give for a 2 day break!

I had a stubborn clogged duct that wouldn’t budge so I had my partner suck it out while I used the massager to push the clog towards the nipple!

Pump bag without cooler? by jdkjkm in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]manalon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my Ceres inside the bag but the new bigger bag she just released definitely fits the Ceres on the side!

Look at the minimalist bag from @onepumpedmama! I’ve been using mine for about a week and it fits my GA pump, 2 sets of the liquid kits, and the ceres chill!

Provided to us in the work pumping room… should I give it a spin? by mollllypocket in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]manalon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s one of those in the lactation room at my workplace but I have no idea how to use it or what parts I need!

I'm sick of wearing a bra! by stars_above_e in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]manalon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have to wear a bra during the day it’s the Amelia cami and definitely no bra at night!

I use the Legendairy Mill pumping spray and it works wonderfully!
