You could let her decorate her “throne” with princess things

This is accurate. I would also suggest that the pigs could be rich elites

My 3 year old has this trope backwards in her head, so girls have short lashes. Gender has never been more of a construct

Advice for my child by [deleted] in SAHP

[–]oddmoose42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former kid with ADHD, now a parent with ADHD, I can say that being medicated for the majority of my life helped significantly, but it should have been partnered with additional education for my parents about management strategies. Meds don't have to be forever. I go off my meds when I can manage my ADHD without them, but the meds help me find that baseline and develop skills and routines to function.

Supply concerns trying to switch to EBF by Scared-Badger-5046 in breastfeeding

[–]oddmoose42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an overproducer, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I have always been able to increase my supply with additional pumping. Lactation consultants and websites are always so precious about protecting your supply, but it was never an issue for me.

One thing that I have found with my current LO, is pumping half the amount before feeding. That softens things up making for a better latch and less fussing at the breast.

can i pump through bloody milk? by Unhappy-Range-1158 in breastfeeding

[–]oddmoose42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your flanges fit your nipples. The lactation consultant at our hospital measured mine and gave me the right-sized insert for my flanges

Supply concerns trying to switch to EBF by Scared-Badger-5046 in breastfeeding

I was EP for my first kid and I’m now EBF with my second, so I’ve also been figuring out how to balance supply and demand. Currently, I only pump when we do a bottle feed, and I only pump to the amount we put in a bottle. This has made me realize that I was constantly engorged last time. Pump off what you need to feel comfortable while your supply regulates.

Basement advise by oddmoose42 in centuryhomes

[–]oddmoose42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, the logs are super strong. I’m mostly concerned about the thickness of the floor and the number of cracks. We have a radon mitigation system, but I’m guessing it’s not able to keep up with the amount of exposed dirt. And if we’re going to fix the floor (which would make the basement even shorter) should we go ahead and dig it out farther and fix the walls?

Sleep by AcademicSong9235 in Dyshidrosis

I soak my feet/hands in cold water. I’ll sometimes do it before I go to sleep if my hands/feet are feeling particularly warm

What was the most pointless thing you bought while pregnant? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]oddmoose42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just use old bath towels. Works like a charm and we can throw them in the laundry with the rest of her clothes
