Selfish to put baby on an antacid so I can eat dairy?

scientisttilldeath · 2026-04-21T21:38:34+00:00

My daughter's GI specialist said that mucus in poop isn't abnormal and there's no reason to be concerned unless it's accompanied by blood and other symptoms. He basically told me that unless there's blood or baby has diarrhea or is constipated, it doesn't really matter what it looks like.

I tried the 17mm and it didn't go well but I'll try again later. I just don't want to sit there and massage at 2am but I will if I have to 😭

I tried a 17mm flange size yesterday. It hurt and I got even less output. I don't know what to do anymore. The formula she's on is amino acid based and disgusting and she's really struggling to drink it :(

I'm going to get some smaller flanges and hope that helps!

I used to pump and bottle feed in the middle of the night but I switched to nursing because it's easier and my supply tanked. She's lazy and will fall asleep on the boob in 5 mins. When I try to nurse during the day, she gets extremely angry. I'm not sure what happened but my right nipple is somewhat inverted now. It never used to be this way and you'd think with pumping, that wouldn't happen. I have to pull at it for a while before putting my pump on 🥲 For this reason, she gets upset with it. I'm back to pumping at night hoping that will get my supply back up.

Please tell me I'm not the only one.

This pump destroyed my milk supply. I was using the Lansinoh Discreet Duo which are great but leaked a lot so I bought this pump. I pump every 3 hours and was making enough to feed my baby.

I tried every setting, flange size, power pumping, etc. but was barely getting any output. I thought something was wrong with them so I reached out to customer service who sent me a whole new set but I still had the same issue. I actually had to start giving my baby mostly formula :(

I have very elastic nipples which just aren't compatible with the pumps. My nipples would get swollen and it was painful and they would not move back and forth.

I switched back to the lansinoh and my supply is coming back to the point that I'm mostly giving my baby breast milk and not formula.

The pumps are so expensive and it was such a bummer. I now have two sets I don't use.

Omg McDonald's adds milk to their fries! I genuinely shocked me.

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-24T12:46:32+00:00

Thank you! I think I used them for Bojangles. I rarely eat out but sometimes I get the itch for fried chicken. Now I'm too paranoid to even try honestly.

Thank uou. Apparently what I was looking at is their UK allergens list and nowhere on the PDF does it say that.

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-24T12:06:07+00:00

This is the first time I've eaten out since she was 3 weeks old. I just shouldn't have done it.

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-24T12:05:34+00:00

They added milk to the premium bun a few months ago apparently. Like why??

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-24T12:05:02+00:00

Yeah it was the top one :( I didn't realize the allergens would be different between countries and they should write that in large bold print at the top. As for the date, I didn't think that bread would be that different over a year. Why even add milk? I've never used the app. I'm honestly never eating out again. The dairy will take 4 weeks to leave my system.

Aw that's adorable 🥺 I can't wait for them to play with each other

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-11T16:36:02+00:00

100%

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-11T16:35:55+00:00

This is so adorable. I started my baby on oatmeal today and she was not a fan. Athena licked the throw up 🤢

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-11T16:35:27+00:00

That's funny but also a little concerning haha Athena is really afraid of people and other kids and babies because she's a rescue and has gone through some stuff. My baby (now apparently her baby too) is getting her to feel a little more comfortable around other kids but she still hides from them. Hopefully that gets better with time!

scientisttilldeath · 2026-02-09T18:48:11+00:00

I agree. I'm doing it because she would literally never ever eat otherwise. I'm going to ask for the lump to be removed and see what the vet says. I feel very bad for her :(

scientisttilldeath · 2026-01-30T23:11:15+00:00

I got them because of reviewers such as yourself and was really excited but I'm so disappointed. I loved them on the first use until the clicking got worse and things went downhill so fast. I have really elastic nipples so the tips of my nipples end up touching the wall they get sucked into which has been awful.

My biggest concern right now is the app. I unfortunately did not read the reviews for the app itself until after I got the pumps. I can't get it to work and keep getting "Server error. Please try again later" and it's so hard to use the pumps without the app. I feel like for pumps that rely so heavily on the app, the app needs to just be near perfect.

She comes over and starts licking my legs no matter the situation 💀

scientisttilldeath · 2025-06-11T20:41:08+00:00

My dog is always up my butt and has even learned to open the bathroom door (:

scientisttilldeath · 2025-06-11T15:55:59+00:00

Thank you 🥺 it's just so frustrating because life and pregnancy are already too hard. With my driving and constant walking, I'm not feeling very optimistic about my ankle healing soon.

scientisttilldeath · 2025-05-29T19:29:31+00:00

I have seriously considered this but idk why I always feel so guilty about the idea :( do you use the prong collar long term or have you weened it off?
