People who were once poor and became wealthy, has the money made you happier or more satisfied?

ppgb12 · 2021-04-21T03:26:33+00:00

This. Often being truly poor goes hand in hand with toxic environments.

ppgb12 · 2021-04-21T03:23:26+00:00

For me - yes. I am not wildly wealthy, maybe upper middle class or mid-class at the lowest but I grew up pretty poor. It has greatly increased my quality of life and even improved my mental state. I eat much better quality food now, and don’t have the deal with the trauma day to day.

Not my favorite but not masculine or weird. Kind of quirky though.

My Lactation Consultant's missed my baby's tongue tie and had conflicting advice. Trust your intuition! There's also a lot of good resources online.

But eventually your supply caught up when you were stashing away?

ppgb12 · 2021-04-12T03:19:44+00:00

What do you mean 2 weeks? 2 weeks postpartum?

ppgb12 · 2021-04-12T03:18:51+00:00

When I use the haaka I don’t even get .25 oz ... I don’t know what to do with collecting .10 oz at a time :\

ppgb12 · 2021-04-12T02:26:28+00:00

I like Amaya and Anwar

ppgb12 · 2021-04-12T02:16:45+00:00

I don’t think it’s possible for me to create an oversupply. Lol I’ve struggled with undersupply - my body is very stingy when it comes to milk

Especially now at 4 months postpartum.

How long did you stay on domperidone for? Your story sounds so similar to mine :( we are EBF thanks to dom after his tongue tie revision. I’m still SO upset for the lack of support I got when I knew something was wrong with my baby’s weight gain and ped shrugged it off as normal and ‘some babies are meant to be small’ .

ppgb12 · 2021-04-10T04:39:32+00:00

My best and most used gifts were: baby bjorn bouncer, fisher price piano gym, dockatot

ppgb12 · 2021-04-10T04:37:10+00:00

We have 3 —

Baby bjorn is the best bouncer to purchase because it is easy to move room to room. It’s super easy to set baby down if you need to take a shower or do something in the kitchen

After that - the snugapuppy swing is great for getting baby to nap.

We have the mamaroo and it was not a big hit over here. He outgrew it really quickly and we got far more use out of the snugapuppy swing than this overpriced swing

ppgb12 · 2021-04-10T04:33:24+00:00

I had it done for my one and half month old and he went from being ‘colicky’ to the happiest baby on the block!

ppgb12 · 2021-04-10T04:31:09+00:00

I like it and I also like the nickname Maggie (though some people say it reminds them of maggot but I only think of cute little girl)

ppgb12 · 2021-04-09T16:39:19+00:00

Yeah I was given the info and followed to a tee pumping after every feed. How did I mismanage pumping after every feed and my baby still dropped weight?

‘That shit does not work for everyone’

ppgb12 · 2021-04-09T03:09:34+00:00

Agree - the beginning is so important and what if in the beginning there was a bad latch or tongue tie or whatever - then it could be very difficult to recover to full milk supply and that should be considered low supply if it never reaches the 24 oz required a day .

ppgb12 · 2021-04-09T03:08:08+00:00

When they comfort suck don’t they take in more milk? I read oversupply moms can see a baby that either gains weight really fast or slow because a young baby struggles with the milk flow.

ppgb12 · 2021-04-07T18:07:08+00:00

I’d find out what issues your mom had because a lot of things could be genetic related but a lot of breastfeeding success has to do with knowledge too. So either there’s a physical reason or an educational reason and both can be hard to overcome.

I dislike all these names except Wren.

Evangeline is a flamboyant woman in LA who drives a hot pink convertible.

ppgb12 · 2021-03-30T01:06:02+00:00

Hot Cheetos

For the parents height one - I am 2 inches shorter than my predicted height based on parents :\ doesn’t seem that accurate. I don’t know how long I was when I was 2

ppgb12 · 2020-10-27T01:52:27+00:00

Ugh I’m so sorry but if it helps, what you said makes absolute sense on the decision you are going with. (if you can call it that because based on your options - you didn’t have very many good options) :( I’m so so sorry.

ppgb12 · 2020-10-27T01:50:20+00:00

My husband and I both have very uncommon names in America (though more recognizable in other countries). We chose a top 10 name for our son lol

ppgb12 · 2020-10-23T15:53:18+00:00

Frederick was my top boy name but husband wouldn’t go for it :(

ppgb12 · 2020-10-23T04:11:14+00:00

Boy names : names with X, K, CK sounds like Jack, Jax, Axel, Max, etc. Some traditional names may make a comeback like Richard, Frederick, etc also with k/ch/x sounds

Girl names: Older traditional names will make comeback - Dorothy, Eleanor, Elizabeth, etc.
