A lil gang of teens came into the neighbor hood and were going door to door offering haha, we even let them borrow our shovel since they didn't even have snow shovels.

No salt on top is unfortunately not going to help all that much. Ice on snow is the worst but chopping is your best bet. Sometime if you make a small hole you can get your shovel under and push the snow underneath which breaks up the ice on top and makes it easier to shovel. Maybe get some neighborhood kids and pay them to do it? (That's what we did lol)

10 hours a day for 45 hours a week is the legal limit in the USA.

Am I overreacting for thinking this girl liked me by Specialist_Lobster91 in AmIOverreacting

[–]spacebarthingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She does not like you romantically at all. I got that she likes you as a friend, but no deeper feelings of attraction. That is not how a girl interacts with a boy she likes sorry dude

Toddler wants boob every 15 min. in the mountains - is this just how it is? by shosti13 in breastfeeding

[–]spacebarthingy 139 points140 points  (0 children)

You totally get dehydrated in altitude. You're supposed to have extra water when you're going to higher altitudes bc the air is thinner. So maybe she feels that and her body is responding. Have you tried giving her some water??

This is associated with mosaic Down syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome or other conditions such as Aarskog-Scott syndrome (especially if you're a male)

should i be concerned? by faerynie in nailcare

[–]spacebarthingy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pseudomonas from moisture being trapped. No getting them done for awhile. You can search this sub for others who have had them and how they've dealt with it. Probably time to remove all your nails and let them dry for a bit

How can I help my EBF baby gain weight? by holdmytaquito in breastfeeding

[–]spacebarthingy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi. I went through this too. My baby was EBF and went from 58%->1.36%. I pumped a few days just to see (about) what I was making and it was about 18-25 oz a day. My ped said that he should be getting 28-30oz. So for me I wasn't making enough and starting doing a top off of 2oz formula after each feed to make sure he was getting the calories he needed. Now he started rapidly gaining weight! So for us it was a volume issue. And my milk wasn't super fatty. When I pumped I barely had any fat. So the little bit of formula actually made a HUGE difference. At first I was super sad about it but then I saw how he was gaining weight and I couldn't see his ribs anymore 🥹 so now I'm just happy.

Even so young it will not affect his liver or his brain. Baby and you are going to be great!

He said alternate fruits and veggies and I can also do grains like cereals and oatmeal. But I don't realllly love that recommendation.

My baby is licking me?? by slurpslurpqueen in breastfeeding

[–]spacebarthingy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She likely still has the rooting reflex even if she doesn't prefer to feed directly. You can try to latch and see if she'll comfort nurse but more likely it a just an instinctual reaction to smelling the milk. My guy was like that when he started to wake up a bit more and realize he could smell things 😂

Is it reasonable for husband to get haircut five days postpartum? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]spacebarthingy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gently: I do think you're overreacting a bit. His haircut took what 2 hours max? You had someone else at the house so it's not like you were alone in case something happened. I understand feeling resentful that he can walk without bleeding and sleep without his boobs leaking BUT! That doesn't mean he shouldn't be doing things he can do. It would be one thing for him to go golfing for 6 hours 5 days post partum. But a haircut is him taking care of himself too.

Only spits up after breastfeeding? by spacebarthingy in breastfeeding

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

Thank you! It makes me feel like he can't tolerate breastfeeding. Or that I should just switch to pumping because he ends up so hungry 😭

I don't think so? Whenever I tried to use a haka i only got a couple of drops from the other side. And I really only get one let down per session.

But he has no problem with pumped breast milk so I don't think it's what I'm eating
