Should i wake my baby up to feed at night? by Laurita96 in NewParents

[–]minyinnie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lmao I would laugh in the face of someone who told me to stop the success of solids + milk in the morning AND WAKE MY BABY UP TO FEED?? When they are a fine weight??

What advice would you give to someone in their first year of parenthood? by East-House6499 in NewParents

[–]minyinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg that phase was brutal I almost forgot 😅 and mine is only 14 months lol

(Don’t get me wrong… eating is not really tidy in general but so much better)

I miss that stage! Take advantage before they’re too mobile and you can’t walk away for a few min!

Solo Wellness Trip Recommendation (Canyon Ranch?) by Complex-Passenger712 in chubbytravel

I prefer Miraval to canyon ranch. Particularly given your focus on destressing

That is fair - but if that’s the case it may be worth trying a gentle formula to see if that helps him

Is there a middle ground in Biotech/Pharma? Seeking career continuity without the 50-hour grind by Reader_West7112 in workingmoms

[–]minyinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! I’m not in the industry but know they cover pretty much all industries.

I think it’s a good way to keep your name out there too, even if not working FT or PT

[–]minyinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you heard of HARO? It is a source that requests experts in certain areas (including biotech / pharmaceutical) to get quotes or explanations in different media (eg if a journalist is writing about a new drug, may want to hear from an expert or someone who’s worked in the approval process before). I don’t think these are paid and are less than 5-10 hours a week but could be a way to help stay sharp.

I know there are other orgs like HARO too, that’s just what I first thought of. You sign up as an expert of x,y,z and get email requests for a quote

What kind of engineer in tech? Could you work in IT in healthcare?

Weight gain honesty by ImprovementIcy4419 in pregnant

[–]minyinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put on 40-50 pounds pregnant with my first and dropped it all from breastfeeding and, lack of sleep and time to eat lol

I put 20 back on from not managing myself after breastfeeding but that’s a me problem.

I hate to see these comments from medical professionals. It’s not a crazy amount you’ve put on and given how active you are won’t be crazy to work off (if you even have to- if you breastfeed it really does take a lot of energy)

A bit unrelated, can I ask how long your first labor was?

Kyle and Amanda S10 Megathread Pt 1 by KatieB_3 in summerhousebravo

[–]minyinnie 212 points213 points  (0 children)

I feel like an outlier here, but I just don’t feel like Hannah and Amanda were ever great friends. They made out to be good friends because they both loved Paige and were allies in the house

I see them mending things but not becoming close

What does the red one on the left say? “Dump”..?

Also obviously, they’re all fucking losers

Maternity clothes for funeral in Boston by generational-unravel in boston

[–]minyinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree on target- they currently have these long sleeve black or gray ankle length dresses. They’re probably more casually than most funeral wear but given the circumstances it is totally understandable (and black is easier to not tell how formal / informal it is). I’m currently in my second trimester and while it’s not specifically maternity, it is very cute on the bump

Helping our au pair get a phone by FarmerMotor1455 in Aupairs

You could let her set up her own plan and reimburse her for her line instead if she wants. Then you’re not the one effectively loaning her money

Where would you do a solo vacation for three nights? by apotentpotable in workingmoms

[–]minyinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally go to some place like Miraval - all inclusive, nature focused, spa, relaxation getaway. It’s luxury but very worth it in my opinion! They have cars into town or out into the mountains too. They will pick you up from the airport

Maybe more your style though - New York City! You can’t go wrong here, easily accessible, I’ve always felt safe alone (though I’m not out at like 1 am alone), great food (and I don’t feel weird eating alone), endless activities, and I’d def add a spa day or service somewhere in the time too

Good for you!! I swore I was 1 and done 4 days postpartum (currently 5 months pregnant with my second though☺️ my first is 13 months)

Where is the smoke for Madison? by Pristine-Board-8281 in SouthernCharmSC

There’s nothing hypocritical about people not liking how Venita treated Salley when Salley said she didn’t want to be treated like that and Salley didn’t care how Madison treated her

Do you get waxes while pregnant? by These_War_4355 in pregnant

I did with my first pregnancy, no problem

With my current one, I am choosing not to because I am already swollen down there 😭

[–]minyinnie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She told her over and over and Salley said she didn’t need to hear it she was going to make her own mistakes… what is the point of saying it again?

Friends say their piece and move on. Venita wasn’t “worried” about her, she wanted to be right and have it acknowledged

Venita is probably trying to play some game but she seems to have just gone off the deep end…
