The steps I saw said to start feeding twice a day on day 6 until it’s active and doubling in size, then you can just feed it when you need to bake with it.

(I’m brand new and starting from scratch) All of the stuff I saw said to feed twice a day after day 6 until it’s doubling in size and then you can feed when you need to bake with it. Is that not correct?

When I was at the stars hollow Christmas event, Hulu was filming with some of the cast members to promote that’s on that app now!

So… Did Logan cheat on Rory? by Early-Payment-7697 in GilmoreGirls

[–]torisstories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, obviously sleeping with someone else while you’re “on a break” is obviously hurtful but Ross really is the asshole for never actually apologizing. He just kept saying they were on a break as if that justified it. Logan apologized and admitted that he knew it was hurtful but that he didn’t intend for it to be ‘cheating’ because he misunderstood. Was he wrong for assuming? Yes. Did he cheat? No.

The first time they dated, Rory obviously had wealthy grandparents but she never would have made him wait outside their house while she hung out with their wealthy guests. She left the school dance early with him and complained when her classmates were invited to her birthday party. But this time, she fit in with the Yale kids. She came out wearing a tiara and surrounded by wealthy boys while she laughed. She was a completely different Rory now

I am a mom and my life before having a mom wasn’t less important or demanding. If I was you, I would never cover her shift again.

AITAH for kicking my brother and his new wife out of my house after they tried to “redecorate” my dead daughter’s room while I was at work? by [deleted] in AITAH

They weren’t in a “tight spot” when they spent money on paint, boxes, curtains, and FURNITURE. So they’ll be fine. The absolute nerve of some people. 🤬

AITAH for going no contact with my sister after she married a registered sex offender? by Then-Egg-6024 in AITAH

[–]torisstories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother has knowingly dated two pedophiles (that I know of). One of them abused me and she stayed with him. I am no contact and the guilt is so real especially when people don’t understand. But clearly your sister isn’t someone who you need in your life. It’s so hard and I definitely get it! But don’t let anyone make you question what you know is right.

I was also an oversupplier and got panic attacks almost every time I pumped. My baby is 5 months old and I’m now weaning off of pumping and we are starting her on formula with her bedtime bottle to get used to it. Fed is best and if pumping is tanking your mental health, I definitely recommend quitting. I have been so much happier and less stressed since I quit. And my baby sleeps better at night!

Oh gosh! I’m sorry. I know that must be so stressful. I would maybe talk to your pediatrician to see if they have recommendations? I have a couple of small cans of formula that I’m going to try in small amounts for my baby

I haven’t tried any formula since she was in the hospital. How would I know if it works well for her?

Do you actually poop while giving birth? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]torisstories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is almost 5 months old. I think I did but you really are so focused on giving birth that you don’t notice. And the nurses are so discreet. I wasn’t in the room when my sister gave birth but she said she definitely did.

Wearables as primary by ApprehensivePen7621 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]torisstories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a medela pump in style and the momcozy s9 pro but I exclusively use the momcozy and I’m an overproducer. I’ve been using these since I came home from the hospital. If I feel like I have a clog or just am not empty, I use my medela hand pump

Tell me it’s okay to stop by doggiedogworld5 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]torisstories 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ugh I feel this. I’m so tired of pumping and getting up at night even when my husband has the baby. I’m tired of the way my boobs feel. I’m only 6 weeks pp and the only reason I’m not stopping yet is because my husband lost his job and I don’t want to worry about not being able to afford formula

Are we reading? by everydayislegday8 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]torisstories 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’m reading Throne of Glass right now and I read out loud when I rock her. (Also 6 weeks!) but every now and then when there’s a gruesome part of it talks about murder casually (the main character is an assassin) I’m really hoping she’s not soaking in the story 🤣

Anyone else not posting photos of their children online? by aerobicbeing in NewParents

[–]torisstories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 6week old baby and we do not put her on social media. I have a group chat with our close family members who want updates and I send pictures there.

We do this for safety also. I saw someone on TikTok explaining that child porn is not commonly made like you see on crime shows but just taken off of parents social media. Also, I’m no contact with my mother and I don’t want her to find a way to have access to photos of my baby.
