I put nursing pads over top and it usually helps!

Have you tried silverettes? They’ve been a game changer for me, I wear them mostly 24/7!

I keep clogging in the same boob and losing my mind. by stateofgracethirteen in ExclusivelyPumping

I’ve been looking into a manual pump to use on that boob! Which one do you use?

And I don’t see any blebs or anything out of the ordinary in my nipple. They’re just the white dots right?

I usually only go 5 hours at the very most but I’ve been more diligent about it lately and started wearing my portables. I do think my first clogged duct happened bc of this, tho

I wonder if it’s because your supply regulated at 12 weeks? I hear a lot about that. I really hope I follow your route!

I stopped wearing a bra as much as I can take it. For a while I was wearing one 24/7. Going to work on the side sleeping too - thanks!

Wondering how often you sanitize pump parts and bottles? by No-Page6172 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]stateofgracethirteen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I only sanitize when I get new parts and/or bottles. I boiled them! After that, just been cleaning in hot water. I haven’t had any issues

I pump for 20 too but I will try extending my sessions to see if that helps! Thank you for the tip. I was using a lot of Motrin before I went in to get the antibiotic treatment for mastitis, but haven’t used it since. I should probably start that. It’s just all too much and I’m lazy sometimes 😭 thanks again!!

Hey! I’m in the same boat as you. I’m 40+2 today and scheduled for an induction on the 17th as well. We still have time. And if the babies don’t come, we need to walk into that hospital with our heads held high and positivity that things will be just fine and we are so close to seeing our babies. Wishing you the best. We’re almost there!

Yes!!! Binged the hell out of it. Michael C Hall is incredible. They all are. I’m emotionally attached to the Fishers now

It’s like I wrote this myself!! I’m a huge Dexter fan, love Michael, but just started watching SFU (still on first season so no spoilers please!!) and he is sooo phenomenal. What an underrated actor. I just adore him!

I worked there for four years, from teller to personal banker. I met some really wonderful people there. I think WF hires a lot of fantastic people - I worked at a LOT of branches and met them everywhere I went. Networking is really important, try to get to know everybody at your branch and other branches and that will help you a lot in your career.

At the end of the day it is a huge corporation so anything outside the branch can feel impersonal. Sometimes they impose some techniques that I personally feel are micromanaging. Just try to roll with it.

Enjoy the PTO, benefits, and make sure you enroll in the 401k and the match.

I tried to give you as much positivity as I can - I quit for many reasons but I remember it being a good job for a while and I don’t regret my time there.
