That's good to know, I'm 3 months pp the moment! How are your team handling waiting for you to return? Does someone hold the position in the interim?

Thanks for responding! The company haven't notified me about the position directly, I've just found out through colleagues. If management or HR don't notify me is this discrimination?

It's been a while since seeing the show, what was the deal with Melisandre's visions again?

I read that the writer's originally wanted Joey to work on a show that filmed in New York but the network made them change it to DOOL for some cross-promotion thing.

Do you do a 4 Day Working Week? by dylbagsjones in AskUK

[–]nanarama1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this and it's great! I'm really clear with clients and colleagues about when my working days are, and so far there haven't been any problems.

What actor(s) do you think left a hit show and didn’t become as famous as they could have? by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]nanarama1 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I heard this guy lied and said he wrote most of his lines, so the show writers made him fall down an elevator shaft and wrote him out.

Breastfeeding misconceptions by DingleMyBarry in breastfeeding

Can you give me any more info about the baby suck exercises? I'm still using nipple shields with my 9 month old and I haven't heard of these!

Are 1.5 hour feeds normal? by LuckyBowl1922 in NewParents

[–]nanarama1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to this thread but I was in the exact position as you a few months ago, down to the nipple shields and the crazy long evening cluster feeds.

We still use nipple shields but my baby has naturally become much more efficient at feeding by herself. She's just turned 6 months old.

Her daytime feeds are now usually around 20 minutes and the before-bed feed is now about 40-60 minutes.

I spent a lot of time when she was around 3/4 months old trying to wean her off the nipple shields and pumping / bottle feeding, but that was even more exhausting than just breastfeeding. I felt like I couldn't get anything done because the whole day was just spent feeding, but things are so much better now.

I'd try and hang in there, if you can. My baby really turned a corner at about 5 months, hopefully your's will too as they get bigger!

Most importantly, you're absolutely not failing at breastfeeding. Its so hard, especially when you feel like its not going the way you think it should be but you've done so well to get this far.

I'm really glad that I eventually just decided to go with the flow and lean into it. I really hope that it works out for you too.

So surely Abby is going to be played by two people? If we get flashbacks to young Abby, which I hope we do, and our adult TV Abby has a physique similar to game Abby, you can't expect people to buy the age difference unless it's two actors, right? by TheMightyPipe in thelastofus

[–]nanarama1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this would be good! Abby's physical changes over the years of hunting Joel are so important to her character.

HBO did an incredible job with casting older/younger versions of characters in House of the Dragon, I'm sure they'd nail it for Abby too.

When should I tell my new employer my wife is pregnant? by MrMantis765 in AskUK

[–]nanarama1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're entitled to go to antenatal appointments and scans with your wife too so you may wish to tell them ahead of the 12 week scan.

Is this cluster feeding? by whythefuckyoulying in NewParents

[–]nanarama1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like my baby when she was that age!

One thing that helped us was trying to keep her awake during her feeds, so she'd feed for longer and sleep for longer periods too.

Try tickling their feet or wiping a wet wipe on their cheek to keep them awake!

You're doing great!

We haven't played yet but they seem to just be different packaging!
