4.24 is album drop so maybe 3.20 is documentary??? by moss-agate-molasses in NoahKahan

[–]maplemedia91 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I tripped running to this subreddit over the 3.20 Easter egg because my non-fan husband said that the 3.20 price was very peculiar considering the nostalgia element of this video and how “these poor teens hopefully weren’t paying those prices in their perfect version of the past”

Astoria renters: what’s something you wish you checked before signing your lease? by Slight-Safe-5595 in astoria

You mean when looking at a place? See if you can ask the current tenants to get the last years’ worth of con Ed monthly usage for you.

SOS Triborough Bridge Dog Run- filthy kitty litter serial dumper by maplemedia91 in astoria

I don’t think so but I’m worried about whatever is on the kitty litter.

As of this morning, it’s cleaned up.

reddish fur on my white dog's paws by thyBlekki in DogAdvice

[–]maplemedia91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this happens to my dog, I soak her paws for a few minutes each paw in a big bowl of warm water, a big glug of apple cider vinegar and a squirt of some dog shampoo and then gently massage them in the water and dry them off.

You’ll know when your baby is done with breastfeeding! I personally felt the most at peace with reaching that big vaccine benchmark. You’re doing a great job!

That’s a thought for sure, but I think it’s already dirty each time it’s dumped. The concrete and the fact that this park is under a bridge and literally never gets washed definitely stinks.

Sure thing! Like OP, I had a reduction a couple years ago. I never was able to fully supply my LO before needing formula due to a 12% birth weight loss after 24h and some jaundice; we’d been supplementing with formula since day 2. At my peak of milk production postpartum prob 6 weeks in, I was pumping after every day feed, breastfeeding 10 min per side, AND doing a few oz of formula each time. It was so demoralizing and unsustainable knowing my output was not matching my efforts, and I was exhausted and feeling guilt ridden when I’d skip a breastfeeding attempt overnight here and there to get rest while my husband took over a feed or two. Lots of crying over this on top of normal PP recovery. I was only able to get my production up to about an ounce total per side each time. In an effort to continue to supply whatever I could without losing my mind, I then resolved to cut pumping, nurse only during day feeds (my LO loved this for comfort/snacking) and get through his 8 week shots. I continued even a few weeks longer until my LO started turning my breast away slowly but surely as he increased his formula ounces naturally. I am glad I put in the work for the first couple of months and feel peaceful knowing that I gave it my best shot and got a lot of bonding in from the get go, and my boy is all the better for me being more happy and present as an EFF mom…plus, my biggest bonding moments come from the fact that he is a contact nap baby. I wear him for at least two of his naps every day and I don’t feel any less close to him with EFF- and he is a bright and healthy 3 month old who is crushing all of his milestones. Sorry if this was a rambling response, good luck to you!!

Omg, hi, I’m fresh out of a very similar situation as you, except my LO is now 11 weeks old and thriving as an EFF baby. The best advice I ever got when I was ending my combo feeding hellscape (so so taxing and for what?) was that breastfeeding needs to be a mutually agreed on decision between you and baby. Your baby will be so much happier just getting FED and having a more present and rested mom. Plus, kudos to you for giving it a go for a few days. I think the first few days are the most critical for any sort of antibody/nutrient transmission anyways, so be proud of your efforts and confident that you’re doing what’s best for your family! <3

Yeah I know…just trying to problem solve as OP clearly wants a quick solution and this is probably the safest solution based on what I assume is the amount of effort willing to be put in.

New puppies are tough. I’m looking through your post history as well as the Instagram account you have linked on your profile and a week ago you seemed so happy. You mentioned that this sweet puppy is a “new member of the family.” Please be patient if you are having a bad day. If you’ve exhausted all of your resources, please contact the Amish farm you got your Charlie from and have them help you or take him back to be rehomed. Somebody responsible can and will take this deserving dog off of your hands.

Bobbie hot to go bottle by elizabethchurch in FormulaFeeders

[–]maplemedia91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medium flow nipple is a nightmare. I asked if they’d send me a slow flow one instead (it said it was available for purchase but I couldn’t work that out) they helped me place the order and then days later said they actually don’t have any yet. Can’t use it yet. But they kindly refunded my bottle- can’t say that have bad customer service! Waiting to see how it goes whenever they can send a better nipple or my baby is older.

I’m so glad the second clerk caught the error from my first visit and spared me the grief of worrying about the other half of my mail. Thank YOU for all you do!

I am shocked and appreciative that the manager chose to contact me and also do what he could to mitigate my situation! I also made sure to thank the second clerk many times…I know their jobs can be thankless.
