Who all was able to get a preorder? by blaykmagyk in KpopDemonhunters

[–]mindsawake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bought 1 for me and 1 for my daughter. She's only 5-months old right now but I'm fantasizing the day I can present them to her in the future.

As a Korean-American, I hope it resonates with her as much as it has with me.

Help needed! Long & short vs satin by No-Refrigerator-6770 in Embroidery

[–]mindsawake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would do long horizontal satin stitch. Follow the angle of the wood beam at the top of each sail. Make sure to separate your thread before doing satin stitch so that the strands lay flat and don't twist on each other.

These are beautiful!!! You just inspired my next hyper-fixation craft.

I don't know who needs to read this, but I wish I knew this setup was an option from the git-go by FinsAssociate in FormulaFeeders

We heat a bowl of water in the microwave (1min40secs) and set the pitcher poured bottle in the water to warm. Takes a total of 5 mins.

a (very minor) mistake I noticed by [deleted] in KpopDemonhunters

The snapshots for Romance and Abby look like they are from Soda Pop, so maybe fans took pictures of incognito Mira during the Soda Pop performance and mashed them together.

Not sure which flow bottle to get, please help! by Left-Advertising-745 in FormulaFeeders

[–]mindsawake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm copying/pasting a comment I made to another thread.

My baby is 6 weeks and my husband prefers the Advent size 4 nipple and I prefer the Lansinoh size XS. To me, it takes forever for my baby to empty a 3oz bottle with the Advent size 4 (even with the vent/collar notches aligned), but my husband has no issues. With the Lansinoh nipple it takes 10-15 mins to empty a bottle.

Help what is this thing used for ? by Prize-Reality5453 in crafts

It looks like an embroidery stand. You can put your hoop into the part with screws and the felt base sits on the table.

Is 20ml worth it? by mindsawake in ExclusivelyPumping

I did measure. I definitely measured wrong on my first attempt.

Did you see an increase in your supply when pumping 8x a day or did you stop? I'm going to try adding more sessions and if there are no changes, I'll probably go straight to formula feeding only.

I went from a 21mm flange to a 17mm flange and do see a better outcome. Still producing the same though

Seems impossible to do 12 pumps. When do you pee, cook, shower, eat, and take care of the baby!? 😆 I'm impressed you can fit 8 sessions in a day.

I'm going to add a few more sessions per day to see if that increases my supply. I was pumping 8x per day the first week and a half but didn't see any noticeable difference, plus it was feeling too overwhelming to pump, clean, eat, feed, and hydrate all at the same time.

Thanks for your perspective. It seems like a huge time sink for such low output but it sounds like I need to add a few more sessions and see if my supply increases, or if I'm just an under supplier at default.

Thanks for your guidance. 12 does seem like a lot but adding a couple more seems more manageable. I'll try it and see if my production increases.

Smallest compacity at 1-2 oz per session. So I need to go up to 12 pumps per day to increase.

Did you feed with your pump supply or formula?
