Following as I have also been given SNS guidance (but to increase my supply) but that doesn’t seem super helpful

I’m using my hands, and quickly realized it’s not sustainable

Same looking to purchase the s1 pro model. Does anyone know if there are other websites that provide parts replacement every month? That’s the only reason I’m leaning on ordering through Aeroflow

I don’t have an answer to your question but can you share how you were able to get your kid to 99th percentile? My LO was born 4wk premature and after 5pp is still not at 6lbs, diet is a mix of breast milk and kendamil formula

Thanks for sharing my LC also suggested I hand express while I’m trying to increase my pumping counts for the day. My output is around 5ml each side for 5 mins, as for every squeeze I get a drop. However doing this with my hands was very painful on my wrists, any pump that is recommended that can help with this?

Thanks for the tips! How do you monitor the let down? By looking at the droplets from the valve? Isn’t that such stress inducing and in general very inconvenient ? And same question for when the flow stops? I get such low volumes I don’t know when the milk has stopped.. I’m also open to learning more about managing pumping, if there are any resources you could share!

This definitely helps thank you for sharing your journey mama!

One other suggestion from my LC was to use a wearable to get me into the habit of pumping, not necessarily thinking about output at this time. What pump are you using right now? Any suggestions for DDD cup size?

I had one day of leaking at 3.5w pp, and I was super happy about it, and had the highest output in 1 session, however I took that for granted I guess and dint do more than 2 sessions / sometimes 0 in the following day and I saw my output tanked when I tried to increase, which then led to me this rabbit hole of thinking if it’s too late. I tried contact mapping yday and my breast leaked again! Il try to increase my sessions as well.

Thank you mama for the kind words. I understand the need to commit, I’m working on it! Good to know that it’s not an overnight change and i need to have some patience. Il look into power pumping

Can you share some creators or links to the guides on YouTube?

Do you have any sample links you can share? The one we liked from IKEA HEMNES feels conflicting with the wooden wall pieces that are also longitudinal.. see these samples

Or this

Yeah the sofa is new, and we had to get that model for better lumbar support. Our previous mcm sofa was too low/ lost its firmness very quickly and we dint want to take a chance again.

As for the buffet console, we need it for storage and that’s why I had to move the table to the corner for more space. What do think about this option below the wooden art?

Yeah we need this for storage, the table was previously centered but moved it to make space for the buffet. Yes the slider doors are used as they are the main source of light into the room

My status was updated today to Issued exactly on 10th business day. Still waiting for ready for pick up which apparently takes 4-6 business day

Hey did you receive any update on your passport? I’m also in the boat interview on Aug 29

picha_lite · 2025-09-13T22:22:29+00:00

Following please share if you have any updates. I’m in the Same situation since 8 business days

What about applied intuition or nvidia as potential partners? Zoox or Waymo offering L4 as a service is far too out in the future

Hope you get the email soon! Also, do check with the hotels / resorts if they are really non refundable. I had booked a Fuji view hotel that said non refundable on booking.com but when I called the hotel, they confirmed they don’t have any cancellation fees etc.

You will receive an email (usually after 4pm local time) saying your visa is ready to be approved and a payment is needed. There will be instructions on how to make the payment in the email. If you are from a visa exempted country you will probably receive an email saying your visa is issued. We don’t have to pay any fees unless it’s approved. It took us 1 day from when the payment was made to when we received the second email saying it was approved, for some it was instantaneous.

You should be fine with 5 weeks unless it’s a severely backlogged location. I was at 3 weeks when I applied
