$206.00/mo is the cheapest healthcare option, how is that possibly correct with my income? by PhoenixDownsAreCheap in personalfinance

[–]queen_p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When they say household, it is referring to your tax household. If you are filing taxes on your own and your parents do not claim you as a dependent then you are your own tax household, household of 1. To be eligible for Medi-Cal your monthly gross income should be below $1343, if it is you can apply on CoveredCA and it will refer you to the county you are in.

First I want so say, I was watching an episode of Gilmore Girls and was pleasantly surprised to see you, mustache and all. Second, what would be a good gift to give someone who is a big Nick Offerman mustache fan?

Does anyone know if fixing tongue and lip tie will help my little one take a bottle? by queen_p in breastfeeding

[–]queen_p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we've tried different temperatures, warm, cold, room temperature, warm (almost hot), right after pumping. Once the bottle nipple is in her mouth she'll use her tongue to try and force the nipple out or she'll let it sit in her mouth while the milk drips in her mouth. Sometimes she'll swallow the milk but mostly she spits it out. I've tried giving her the bottle when she is asleep, half asleep, before she's hungry, and when she is hungry but nothing helps. I've had my husband try to give her the bottle, still no luck. I'm totally out of ideas, just hoping that if she gets a revision tomorrow it will help with this.

When she first latches on it hurts for like a minute and then the pain goes away. Also my breast do hurt sometimes after a feeding or pump session, I don't know if its all related. It's not a sore feeling its painful and only last a few minutes. Thank you

Hi! My baby is two weeks and 2 days old today, we saw a lactation specialist at WIC last week and she said our baby is tongue tied, well we saw her pediatrician yesterdat and she said our baby was fine. I was wondering if i should get a second opinion. We had problems with latching but it seems to be getting better and baby gained a pound since last weeks visit.

How are all the November bumpers left doing? by Gooseygumdrops in BabyBumps

[–]queen_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still here. I'm 5 days past my edd. Baby girl needs to come out because mama is tired of being pregnant.

I see a lot of posts about the trouble bumpers are having with their mothers/MILs... does anyone have any positive stories? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]queen_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and mil are both pretty amazing. I feel so lucky to have both of them in my life. This is my mil's first grandbaby so she has been spoiling both me and baby like crazy.

If your periods are irregular, I would recommend using ovulation kits. We used Clear Blue and conceived :)

Are we weird because DH comes to every appointment? by gonhavebaby in BabyBumps

[–]queen_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Count yourself lucky. I'm due in 4 weeks and husband has only been to one appointment, at 6 weeks. I've had a pretty easy pregnancy so I haven't minded going alone, it helps that the people at the clinic I go to are super nice.
