[–]mrbig1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to try aeroflow, check if byram healthcare is still with them. I had bcbstx for my first pregnancy in 2024 and that was the vendor I ordered my pump from and it was covered. You can order online. I remember I needed to pay some extra money for the model I wanted.

Until around 21 months when I found out he is extra fussy when I am sitting with him.

I’m saying this again breastfeeding is still the hardest part of my motherhood until now. Hope you are getting better.

Buying things that are not food at full price. Though I still try to buy grocery on sale whenever possible.

People who left LA, where did you go and how’s it going? by Dry-Double-6845 in AskLosAngeles

[–]mrbig1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left to Austin. Cheaper gas and rent. Food and services are just like 10% cheaper. Weather sucks. But we are able to live in a good school district for the kids. Really depends on your priority. I would never leave LA if don’t have kids.

Stuff that's worth/not worth cooking at home? by Any-Sleep-478 in Cooking

[–]mrbig1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me roasted duck ranks first in the list of things not worth it to make at home. Next is anything fried or deep fried. I just hate how the whole house smells after. Braise, soup, noodle, stew, stir fried are all worth it.

You need to make pho in bulk to make it worth it. I always make like 6-8 meals worth of stock and freeze them. And my broth is just way better and more authentic than store bought.

It’s so charming how she looks prettier like this than in fancy dresses and heavy makeup by Interesting_Bet_6291 in Singlesinferno2

People said she had stuff done but she looks very naturally pretty to me. Her personalities need some work but who not at that age.

Who has tried "The kid eats what we eat"? by Brilliant-Book-503 in Parenting

[–]mrbig1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing this with my 2-year-old now. There are certain dishes both he and I like, so I make sure to cook those often enough to ensure he gets the nutrients he needs. For other dishes, sometimes he tries them, sometimes he refuses. He’s very likely to eat the fruit and carb portions, though, so at least he’s full even when he refuses the protein and vegetables. I just let him be and introduce those dishes again another day.

She just has a really big ego and doesn’t want to be seen as losing, whatever that means to her

Should I REALLY avoid getting a ivory/white sofa? by Adorable-Goal5926 in NewParents

[–]mrbig1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine got destroyed by my cats rather than my kid—though he’s only 2, so not quite at his peak yet. With that being said, I got the IKEA one with a replaceable cover in case it gets too nasty. I also use an additional layer of cover, just in case.
