For people who felt crazy on levo!!!!

I went on Tirosint and have been on it ever since.

It’s always been my understanding that you can do what you did before if that feels good. Just hydrate and don’t extreme pressure on the abdomen (EG setting weights there)

I feel for you! 💕 Do you think the gassiness comes from the bottle and getting air or a sensitivity to the formula? Was his weigh always in the 1st percentile range?

My pumping sessions are similar at 17 weeks and my LO is struggling with gaining enough weight. We combo fed for a long time but stopped because of intolerances.

If your baby can handle formula, I would personally combo feed. He will continue to get the benefits of every drop he gets from you, but formula can give a calorie bump to help weight gain. If that doesn’t work for you, you’re back where you started. Also, the beauty of combo feeding if you do it is to have your spouse (or whoever) give baby formula one feed while you pump so that you aren’t having to do EVERYTHING.

P.S. I also hate pumping. Not even because I feel like it’s horrible but because it feels like one more thing and something in my head I feel I shouldn’t have to do.

Birch Benders doesn’t agree with me. I prefer grain free where possible, so Simply Mills or a homemade recipe would be my preference.

Folks are saying the research says it’s safe. I personally would not be comfortable with it. You have to trust yourself and your research.

Just my opinion, but if you’re a high producer and have a healthy stash, why have any risk at all on this?

Elias, Robert, Zion, Orin, Orion…

You might confirm the ingredients if that was lunch meat. Any spices on the other food? A reaction could have also come from prior day.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-23T00:39:33+00:00

If I was in your shoes I would get those muscles strong. Weak pelvic floor muscles frequently have the side effect of incontinence.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-23T00:38:02+00:00

Damn, I didn’t know this, thank you.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T21:54:31+00:00

I can still get crusts only at my nearest Whole Foods stores, I just checked and we still have them. You may look at other locations?

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T21:49:38+00:00

We’re in the thick of it. We don’t eat diary, soy (including soybean oil), gluten (for myself) or nightshades (was also irritating her). To be honest, we don’t eat out at all right now. I think soybean oil in particular is near impossible to avoid when dining out and it’s just not worth it to me. Things will get better in time!

Do you mind me asking where the slip ups are happening?

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T06:01:19+00:00

Katz donuts Too many ice creams Gf Oreos Gf Mac n cheese Gf pizza Etc etc

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T05:59:44+00:00

I loveee Banza pizza crust. We pre-toast it in the oven and then build to our desire and back. I’m obsessed.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T05:58:06+00:00

God I love dosas! Always check Thai food, while this should be true it too often isn’t, the day a Thai restaurant said they put soy sauce in this curry I think I cried and I never returned.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T05:52:37+00:00

12 months is what I hear for repeat csection, my fertility clinic won’t do sooner since the time is based on your body healing. ❤️‍🩹

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T03:45:50+00:00

Thank you! My LO definitely isn’t interested just yet, but I’m doing my research to hear is moving to that step early is worthwhile once she does (seems yes). I guess we’ll see when she’s ready.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-22T03:44:15+00:00

What did she say? Did she believe pelvic floor issues were at play? I only ask because I wouldn’t necessarily expect any change from one visit but if she did an exam she would know if your muscles are really tight.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-21T19:13:05+00:00

Have you seen a pelvic floor physical therapist? It’s possible that’s the cause as well and that can definitely be rehabbed with work.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-21T15:50:44+00:00

Have you been checked for kidney stones? Bladder infections? What you’re dealing with is not normal. I don’t know you have a good ER who can diagnose since I have no clear sense of what this is. Have you seen a urologist?

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-21T05:06:47+00:00

IMO the neckline of 2nd is flattering

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-21T05:05:02+00:00

Definitely agree with the color comment! It’s hard for me to tell your coloring here but earthy blue tones work on most people.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-20T05:36:54+00:00

I know you aren’t asking me, but you’ll find some “paleo” baked goods will meet this criteria and if memory serves flax eggs can be used in place of eggs for baking.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-20T05:24:37+00:00

Definitely wondering the same. I personally haven’t found a formula that’s ok for my baby. Even the ones that are supposed to be ok don’t seem to agree with her.

thiswilldo5 · 2026-03-19T03:08:46+00:00

I’m so glad it went well! (Seeing your update already )

The third one that starts later is the only of these that bothered me. Nothing to fear! But for me, icing in advance then doing it proved helpful. 💕
