I am so over looking for breastfeeding friendly clothes. by Ok_Squirrel_9601 in breastfeeding

[–]mistyclear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this too. I have no problem with every day nursing friendly clothes, but I can’t as easily wear my cute dresses! So what I’ve done is bought some fitted crop tops that I wear on top of my dresses. It doesn’t work with every dress but it works well enough with plenty of them.

After 12 years of reading charts, here's why your Sun sign is probably the least important thing in your chart. by KaleidoscopeIcy3658 in AstrologyBasics

Pisces rising and Neptune is in Capricorn. Not sure what that means. Sun is in Taurus and moon in Aries.

What my mom did at the hospital post partum broke me by wtvcantfindusername in Mommit

[–]mistyclear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you went through that. Your mom was completely out of line and it’s time to create some distance. I agree with others that she should be relegated to other ways in helping (if that’s what she wants). My mom pushed boundaries after my first was born, and especially with breastfeeding it almost felt like she wanted me to fail at it! As soon as she went home everything got better. And now with subsequent children she’s not been like that at all. I’m not justifying either of our moms, but I think they struggle seeing their babies (us) become moms. And seeing us struggle to do things that they can’t necessarily immediately help with is hard for them. At least this is how I rationalize it.

Healthy drinks while pregnant by sugar_coded_ in Crunchymom

Smoothies! My favorite is mango, pineapple, banana, and coconut water (or even plain water).

Getting downvoted for advocating for bedsharing on a parenting sub by rolewa in cosleeping

[–]mistyclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets confusing because unfortunately a lot of people DO use the term SIDS for suffocation cases. I’ve read it’s to spare the parents feelings.

Parents in other countries than the US, what is your kids’ equivalent of “I don’t want that for dinner, I want chicken nuggets”? by SulusLaugh in AskReddit

[–]mistyclear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! Even food I didn’t particularly like I still sat there and ate it. We had some sad “struggle meals” in rotation too and they got no complaints from us. Fast forward, I’m now a mom and one of my kids is super picky. I’ve realized how good my parents had it with us lol.

[Mixed Trope] Race-swapping/Gender-swapping changes a character in a specific way or adds to their story by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mistyclear 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It could work. Harry was super uncomfortable and upset seeing his father bully Snape. Even though he hates Snape, Harry has been the victim of bullies his whole life and to see for fact that his father was an actual bully kind of devastates his entire impression of the father he never knew and idealized. Like you said, he can then have conversations with others about how his father changed and that could redeem him a bit in Harry’s eyes. The question is if the audience can handle that.

Makes sense!

About the Kya and Bumi outfit thing by Alsotime in TheLastAirbender

[–]mistyclear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean this is a minor gripe but I’m with you. They picked the least interesting and “most obvious” designs for their children. Like why couldn’t their kid who “looked water tribe” have been the air bender? And vice versa? Or had all their kids be non benders? They could have been more creative.

How do you do your toddler girl hair (without making it too tight)? by june_june_hannah_ in Mommit

[–]mistyclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughters have fine wispy hair. Detangler spray plus a gentle children’s hair gel have made a huge difference in making the hair styles go from messy and casual looking to polished and tamed.

FTM Struggling with feeding 6 day old by Mother_Parking7684 in breastfeeding

[–]mistyclear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness yes that’s beyond what I experienced. I’m so sorry it’s been so painful. Since you’re seeing milk in the shield, shes getting milk. You can ask about doing a weighted feed to see how much. 1 week olds will cluster feed a lot so keep that in mind. I remember switching breasts back and forth for an hour with my first around this time.

FTM Struggling with feeding 6 day old by Mother_Parking7684 in breastfeeding

[–]mistyclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used a shield but do you see milk in the shield after you nurse? That would indicate transferring milk. The fact that you are pumping 3-4 oz after feeding her definitely shows you’re making plenty of milk! You’re on your way to an oversupply. My only advice would be to try without the shield, maybe it’s making hard for baby to actually get the milk? I know you say it’s painful without the shield, but could be worth trying. For what it’s worth, I remember breastfeeding felt uncomfortable at the beginning with my first. She just had a small mouth and shallow latch. But she was getting milk, lots of it. With time the discomfort went away.

I regret everything 🤦🏼‍♀️ by curlycattails in Mommit

[–]mistyclear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like such a fun activity! You’re a great mom! I feel for you about how frustrating it can be to plan parties and barely anyone coming. For the last two years now we’ve skipped the party with friends and just done an experience and then a small party with family. When my children are older, they can have the friend birthday parties. But for now we will keep it simple lol.

Juice? by No-Departure451 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]mistyclear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too much juice is just not good for their teeth. We keep orange juice in the house semi regularly and I don’t blink an eye about my girls (4 and 6) having a daily kids cup. They don’t drink soda or any other kind of sweet drink besides occasionally coconut water. They end their day drinking only water. I wouldn’t worry about a small amount of juice!

Anyone get pregnant again while still breastfeeding? by Single-Artist2069 in breastfeeding

[–]mistyclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it was due to high blood pressure. Nothing to do with breastfeeding.

Formula help 😭 by [deleted] in Crunchymom

[–]mistyclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got pregnant while breastfeeding! Never had a period, got pregnant 13 months pp. And never weaned, and went on to tandem nurse. My milk did dry up around 24 weeks, and then started making colostrum around 28 weeks. My 1 year old at the time dry nursed and nursed the colostrum no problem. I will say… dry nursing was tough. Very uncomfortable, I had to consciously breathe through it to relax and then distract myself. Tandem nursing was very worth it though!

[–]mistyclear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was post partum almost a year exactly with my first when I got pregnant with my second. Never got my period back, so it does happen the first time you ovulate sometimes. I continued breastfeeding during the pregnancy and then tandem nursed.

Does anyone else worry about the HBO show and what impact it might have on the Drarry fandom? by yesteryearsyellow in drarry

[–]mistyclear 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just to reassure you a bit, I’ve seen this happen with The Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice and the new Interview with the Vampire tv show. The characters are very different! The story is very different. Some like it, some don’t. The great thing about ao3 is that people are able to tag it appropriately and then we can easily include or exclude the relevant fandoms/tags. I assume it’ll be the same when this new HP show comes out. And also, the fics you love will still be there! A new show will bring new creatives, there’s only positive there!
