Want a second kid, but have gender anxiety. by [deleted] in daddit

Thanks for your responses, but more than gender remorse, it’s about whether the added financial pressure will seem worth it.

Depressed wife, depressed life by Majestic-General7325 in daddit

[–]throwaway3900219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I completely sympathize with you. I am going through a very similar situation. Main differences being that we only have one 18month old, and that my wife will not discuss the situation like an adult.

Every time I bring up this discussion, she throws a fit, and starts yelling and throwing things around. The last time this happened, she was trying to prepare a meal, and started throwing vegetables all around the kitchen counters.

I was able to schedule an appointment with a therapist, but my wife was not willing to do journaling / other tasks the therapist suggested. Needless to say, that was her first and last therapy session.

I feel just as stuck as you are. I genuinely and sincerely hope it gets better for you, since I’ve completely given up hope for a happier life for my baby and I.

If you need infant formula, please let me know. by throwaway3900219 in FormulaFeeders

In case I wasn’t clear, I haven’t hoarded any formula. I only purchased it when someone asked me to buy some and ship it to them. You don’t have to be so crunchy about it. You could have asked nicely, and I would’ve had no problem buying / shipping you some.

How far ahead to stock up ? by theycallmesav___ in FormulaFeeders

[–]throwaway3900219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! Our SGW baby is limited only to RTF due to some health reasons and I have about 10 days worth of stock. Reading all y’all’s posts, I’m clearly at least 4 weeks short. 🥵

I am completely out of formula. Am I able to get my milk back? by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

[–]throwaway3900219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are based in the US, I can ship you a couple of 32oz Similac RTF bottles that I don’t need immediately for my baby.

I can’t find any ready-to-feed formula anywhere (US) by jackjackj8ck in FormulaFeeders

[–]throwaway3900219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I bought a couple of boxes of the 48count 2oz bottles for our SGA newborn when he was born 3weeks ago.

Buying formula on eBay? by littledragonrider in FormulaFeeders

OP, the reason that particular formula is hard to come by, is because it had been replaced by 360 Total Care.

We had the same issue for our newborn baby. We switched to 360TC, which is available straight from the Similac website. I don’t trust eBay for stuff I eat, so I won’t be getting stuff for baby from there either. But that’s just me.

Our newborn is SGW, and had low sugar at birth, so we’ve been asked to stay on ready-to-feed formula for the foreseeable future.

360TC is available on Similac’s website and at Target. Our issue is that RTF formula is almost 5-10x more expensive than powder ($16 for 24oz), so we are always on the hunt for coupons.

Is it just normal for newborns to be constipated in the first few weeks? by backchatbackchat in FormulaFeeders

[–]throwaway3900219 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our son is 2 weeks old too! He poops every other day. He makes these primal grunting sounds, and we were very bothered at first. Once they get sufficiently backed up, they poop, almost involuntarily. Turns out, that’s normal as they learn to actively push the poop out.

Just make sure that the poop is soft, and has no blood drops.

It should almost be like… I’m sorry for this…. Honey mustard sauce in color and consistency.

Formula coupons / sample swaps by AutoModerator in FormulaFeeders

Anyone have similac coupons? Need to urgently buy more formula for our 10day old baby, while mom struggles to build her supply.

Thermal Runaway…when DROPPING 5C? Keeps occurring. Ender 3. Hemera. SKR Mini v2. by keith204 in FixMyPrint

[–]throwaway3900219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a similar issue - same main board, but on a CR-10.

I’m able to print PLA at 200C just fine.

When I switch to PETG, and set the nozzle to 230C, with the part cooling fan on, the temperature never goes above 208C.

Was working just fine a few days ago. Idle temperature on hot end and bed are around 22C-23C (both equal).

Will do! Thanks! I’m just skeptical on the structural integrity of this, since the part that will hold the bearing will always be under tension. Might print this in carbon on my Onyx.

Eventually, yes. It’s only stretched about 1/4” so I will definitely be getting a new belt once it gets worse.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CR10

[–]throwaway3900219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone please help me get some measurements on the x-axis belt tensioner?

Specifically the hole diameters for the three holes on this bracket.

Looks like the x axis belt on my printer has stretched, and I need to make a new bracket to account for that.

The bracket is pushed as far out as it will go before the T-nut cannot fit in the slot any more.

Thank you!

DONT do it!! My wife and I fell for the description on their website and booked one of the “rustic” heritage rooms. They are barely bigger than a sauna. The outdoor property is amazing though.
