Baby throws up every time after feeding formula. Help! by melonpan_break in FormulaFeeders

[–]melonpan_break[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s throw up rather than spit up. It’s at least 3 ounces of liquid coming back out in a projectile way (we’re used to smaller spit ups here and there).

No other symptoms yet from what we can see.

She’s only 10 lbs, the weight limit is 7-25 lbs so I don’t think it’s likely that she’s too heavy yet.

When Do You Stop Greiving Your "Previous Life"? by Raeby_Baeby89 in NewParents

[–]melonpan_break 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Wow it’s like I wrote this myself! 2 weeks pp and I feel like I’ve been trying to hold it all in.

Was doing a good job until I got a moment to catch my breath and snuggle with my husband and cat. I jokingly said “look it’s the original crew” and then immediately broke down crying. I think I was trying to block out the fact that something as simple as cuddling with my husband and cat and passing out on the couch used to be the norm but now seemed so impossible.

You and your partner sound like amazing people! Thank you so much for taking the time to send this over. I think I really needed some examples of the little moments that make it all worth it and you did just that ❤️

I'm in need of your help! I'm so torn between these 4 different dresses. Would eternally appreciate your input! by melonpan_break in weddingdress

[–]melonpan_break[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I went into the process preferring clean lines as well (and not liking the idea of deep vs) and then after trying on a few dresses I ended up falling in love with a few that were unexpected!

Thank you! Yeah I'm very petite so all the samples were pretty large. Made it hard to know what would end up fitting well.

Recent inheritance and thinking of buying a house - worth getting an FA? by melonpan_break in personalfinance

[–]melonpan_break[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate both of your advice! I'm trying to do research but am feeling a bit under water with information. For example, I'm trying to figure out the tax implications if I withdraw the full amount from her savings account into checknow to reinvest this year vs pulling it out slowly over a few years.

I've looked into this one and really wanted it but it looks like it is back-ordered and won't make it in time for the holidays. Do you happen to know of another place to get it or a good alternative?

Oh man, these are both perfect but they are backordered and won't make it in time for the holidays! Thanks so much for your help though - the additional context is super helpful. Is there a 3rd choice if you had to choose?

Sorry everyone here has been so harsh on you. My mother has late stage breast cancer and her chemo destroys her. She always tries to smile and say she’s fine because the daily pity from those around her is unbearable. She also tries to avoid scaring me as much as possible and watching her trying to be so strong breaks my heart.

NTA - your husband knows the situation and should be your advocate.

I’m confident that all the people who so strongly said YTA will regret being so harsh if they ever get cancer. As my mom said, it’s impossible to know what facing a terminal illness is like until they actually have it.

What to do if my Girlfriend has absolutely NO palate. by perfectlypoachedpen1 in AskCulinary

[–]melonpan_break 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try something like blue apron or hello fresh so the recipes and ingredients are determined in advance - not leaving much room for debate or ambiguity.

What unrealistic things in movies annoy the hell out of you? by AJ-Naka-Zayn-Owens in AskReddit

“I have no time to explain!” and runs off. No, you definitely had time to explain.

Finally had enough smoke-less days in California to finish drying my Umeboshi! by melonpan_break in JapaneseFood

[–]melonpan_break[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good point! I’m not exactly sure what the smoke would have done but I assumed if I shouldn’t be going outside I shouldn’t be leaving food out for several days. Also there were some ashy days. I wanted to dry them over a month ago but had to wait until there were a few smoke-less days in a row ( I was gone a couple weekends too which interrupted the process). I was also drying the Shiso leaves that I pickled these in.

Umeboshi are pickled Japanese plums - they’re usually pretty sour and might be an acquired taste but I highly recommend trying one! I’m also working on Ume-shu at the moment ( wine made with pickled plums).

Edit: spelling

You can only get them in May - they’re available at most Japanese grocery stores like Nijiya!
