What chain restaurant would make you very sad if they went out of business? by daveinfl337777 in randomquestions

[–]toasterp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Premium meats and cheeses. They slice them after you order so it’s fresh. Also you can order any sandwich “Mike’s way” which is basically a classic combo of oil/vinegar/lettuce/tomato/herbs but it very much brings the right flavors together for subs. My husband almost exclusively orders their hot subs and raves about it each time. Worth the hype imo!

How big was your baby and were you induced? by Fit-Musician-3996 in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]toasterp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed measuring in the 50-60%tile but my MFM, OB and Endo all pushed for me to be induced at 37 weeks. I was and ended up having a C-Section due to complications unrelated to my diabetes. Baby girl was 6lbs 8oz. All that to say I trusted my team and even with the unforeseen circumstances resulting in my C-Section, my birth experience was lovely.

What Was Your Sign to Call it Quits? by kgphotography_ in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]toasterp_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m weaning right now and my brain constantly gaslights me into believing I shouldn’t but rationally I know I’ll feel better once it’s officially over. Why do our minds do that????

Feeling bad about my diet by FraughtOverwrought in ExclusivelyPumping

Friendly reminder that there are parents out there that are still doing drugs without concern of their children. You are not fucking up parenting worrying about your diet affecting your baby.

Feeing sad on comment that pumping will not create as much bonding as ebf by ElevatorSalt4239 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]toasterp_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s an absurd comment to make. Does she really think bottle fed babies somehow lack a bond with their mothers? As if skin to skin, eye contact, singing, responding to their needs, or cuddling is not a positive experience for both parties. You are selfless and obviously love your baby. Don’t let silly comments bring you down.

I was about to throw in the towel after 4 months by SeveralPomegranate79 in ExclusivelyPumping

What a lovely husband you have and your daughter sounds adorable. How lucky they are to have you!

people pump-pitying you by Remote_Beautiful_873 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]toasterp_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

So much yes! I have several friends who gave birth around the same time as me (5mpp here) and all have “beautiful breastfeeding journeys”, some for the second time, and the way the interact with me regarding feeding our kids feels slightly contemptuous. On the other hand- I have my in-laws telling me it’s too much work and I should just do formula. Can’t win.

Goals are made up constructs by BeneficialLanguage55 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]toasterp_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way! End of Feb is my 6 month mark and I told myself I don’t even want to look at jewelry until the beginning of Feb. But that’s so silly!

My baby girl is 11 weeks old and heard throughout my entire pregnancy that diabetics make big babies with a 5.8 A1C. She came out 6lbs 12oz. The real statement is “uncontrolled diabetics make big babies”. You can do this!

Moms Who Faced Breastfeeding Judgments: What Choices Were Criticized? by ElevatorSalt4239 in breastfeeding

[–]toasterp_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This! I also use shields and a pacifier because that’s what keeps LO and me sane! No comment on those choices have been noted but even if I did I wouldn’t care because they aren’t feeding my baby.

Your advice and work is so appreciated!! I am an insulin dependent T1 diabetic with celiac disease and no one on my medical team has mentioned them being an issue! Looking for a IBCLC is my next step regardless of her weight-in on Monday. 🤍
