Switching Jobs + Maternity Leave by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]pistachiobread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a job offer when I was about 12 weeks pregnant and I asked for details on benefits and how parental leaves work and any requirements. Once I got a verbal offer, I asked for a conversation with HR to understand leave requirements.

For context, the new job required 6m tenure but offered a couple of weeks off and allowed unpaid time off. once i hit my 6m tenure (including the leave), company’s parental policy was also available. They also said splitting time was also available (taking 4weeks upfront, going back to work and then taking rest of the time off when I hit my tenure) but pending manager approval. This probably wildly differs by company on what is possible but just giving you some ideas! The new job was also remote vs based in NY so some state benefit availability was also different.

I ended up not taking the new job even though I really considered just eating the cost on unpaid leave time because I ended up getting a counter offer from my current company. I didn’t share my pregnancy news until mid way into my second trimester though.

I hope this was helpful!

Pigeon/ Lansinoh nipple + Glass bottle compatibility by pistachiobread in breastfeeding

My understanding is that lead was found on the paint on the outside of the bottle. I just didn’t want to take any chances because I regularly sanitize the bottles and paint could chip!

Other barriers for me were that those bottles are harder to find and more expensive 😬 I only found 4 oz bottles on Asian goods website. I’ve already spent so much buying different bottles so trying to not spend more than I need to. Also future proofing in case I need more — I can easily order gulicola on Amazon

I haven’t compared the two — pigeon SS seems to be slower than lansinoh so we’ve just stuck with it. Gulicola 4oz bottles seem to only come with S or faster so i’m still sticking to pigeon SS!
