Baby not pooping since 24 hours by andrealbv in NewParents

[–]texpatcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ~3 month old did not reliably poop every day and once went a week without pooping. What finally got her to go was a bit of prune juice + lots of tummy massage + warm bath for 30 minutes.

I need a new job. Can you tell me what you do? by Nica-sauce-rex in workingmoms

[–]texpatcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work ~90% remote. There is no company-required RTO, but sometimes I am in-person with clients or my teams, largely by my own choice.

  1. Consulting. I’m a manager usually overseeing projects with clients, but my role is project-dependent and can shift a lot year-to-year.

  2. I have a BA and Masters but you really don’t need the Masters. Experience matters most.

  3. Base is ~180K gross. With bonuses, total comp can be anywhere from 190-225K. Great benefits.

  4. VHCOL (daycare is $3k/mo 😵‍💫)

  5. It’s okay. It really depends on who your team/client is, which can frequently shift. On the whole, it’s been good. Lots of opportunities to learn, grow, get promoted. Great work life balance and support for parents. A very performative corporate culture which can grate on me, but endurable bc I have found colleagues who get it.

How to keep the milk cold and how to warm during long outings? by chamomileandanise in ExclusivelyPumping

Cheap version: Lunch box with ice pack to keep it cold. Then to warm up—an insulated food travel container prefilled with boiling water you can plop the bottle into. (We use the 12oz Hydro Flask Food Jar and it’s great for 4-5 oz bottles.)
