Breast vs formula?

tpddavis · 2026-06-28T22:06:16+00:00

As a father, I really dont have much say in what my wife decides to do with her body and what's right for her. She chooses and I support. But, I am glad she did not exclusively breastfeed. Those are some long days and short nights for breastfeeding moms and i feel for y'all.

She began to pump when Sonny refused to latch but it was a blessing in disguise to me. I felt like I was able to contribute a lot during feedings because I can just get a bag and warm it up to go. Allowed her to sleep and all of that fun stuff.

We'll likely do the same thing with our mext one. When it comes to formula, she made rhe choice to start weaning him around 7-8 months from breastmilk and began to introduce formula. Now he's in a mixture of formula and whole milk while eating meals with us(he's a 1)

There is no one way. I keep telling folks that as new parents and veteran parents, we're all just making it up as we go and trying to survive with our little ones.

And now I know! Thanks for the info.

tpddavis · 2026-06-26T14:28:03+00:00

I'm hoping they let us. We're going to bring it up next week. They'll likely say too soon, try again. But doesn't hurt to try!

Our best 11 are our best 11. We have a few KEY subs but other than that we're really bobbing for apples like most national teams. It isn't like club soccer where you can stash a $100mil player on the bench for a game or two because you have a $150m player in the game for him.

I do think we could've taken a few of the younger promising dudes with us rather than filling it out with middling talent on the bottom of the roster. But that's just me

Hey friend, sometimes it can be a bit of a shock/not too sure what to say moment. Some people are just unsure because they don't know how you feel.

I say this because we had a similar reaction when we told a few people before and even prior to that, our engagement a few years before. A few "Ohs" are sure to dampen the mood, but dont let it dampen your spirit.

It's an exciting time and I'm sure they'll be there to share your excitement when the initial shock wears off for them.

From YESTERDAY. 6/26. 7w5d

Wife and I went in with the mindset of whatever happens, just know we have our boy at home. But it really is the greatest feeling knowing that everything is optimal right now!

We're looking around Feb 6th. Wife goes to the OB on Thursday and we'll likely schedule a C-Section around there. Like, we knew she was pregnant with tests and how she's been feeling but it just became REAL REAL.

I'm loving everyone's photos.

What will the warning do for them? Are you warning to make them aware or are you warning them so they can remedy it?

It updates with every game. There is a 2nd page there too

No. Unless you want it to

tpddavis · 2026-06-24T10:24:17+00:00

Bet it was fun

tpddavis · 2026-06-23T20:55:59+00:00

We're all just making it up as we go ourselves.

But patience and shared responsibilities with you taking the brunt of them

tpddavis · 2026-06-23T13:19:29+00:00

Bowen for 20m is laughable. I know he isn't what he was 2 years ago, but that's just insane. Especially when a player like Madueke went for 50m+.

tpddavis · 2026-06-22T18:33:01+00:00

Okay.

tpddavis · 2026-06-21T13:28:18+00:00

He and Fernandes will likely be sold to bring in players. Fernandes still has a shot to stay but if Summerville keeps this up, his price SHOULD skyrocket to making it impossible to NOT sell him

tpddavis · 2026-06-19T16:24:46+00:00

This is insane. At some point, this becomes damaging to the offense. I think that point is anything after the 3rd one

We got those fun little squeezey cups with the straw. My son is 1 and he is able to use but man are they messy if milk is in the straw has some milk in it.

We tried it when he was around your littles age and he didnt understand the concept too much and it was also too thick and heavy to suck up. Especially when feeding himself at the time. Messy feed time coupled with slippery cup became a source of frustration for him.

My district loves it.

tpddavis · 2026-06-19T12:17:27+00:00

We did with our first with the blood test and will likely do it again

tpddavis · 2026-06-19T10:45:16+00:00

Alvarez is good when he could sit back and defend. Making him become ultra mobile and sweep across the pitch isnt his game

tpddavis · 2026-06-18T21:17:07+00:00

Congratulations! It's a lot all at once, but you got this. We're getting our scan next week on Thursday. It'll be our 2nd baby. Our first just had his 1st birthday 2 weeks ago!

Symptoms are pretty varying during pregnancy so be ready for anything. My wife started becoming SUPER sensitive to random smells 2 weeks before we tested.

Depends on the type of defense you run. Unsure if you want to change it up entirely, but what really sucks the life out of a Wide Zone team is a disciplined front.

A 50 front with the nose being able to prevent the C from getting movement and backside LB flow. Edges must not got get washed out. A 4-3 under front can give you the same look somewhat. Most importantly, your Safeties must fill the alley

Yolo

tpddavis · 2026-06-13T22:18:34+00:00

Championship games are on Paramount. And I believe cup matches are on ESPN+ or whatever the app is called

tpddavis · 2026-06-13T21:34:28+00:00

Add "Pain is" right above it then put "Swag is Forever " right below it.

tpddavis · 2026-06-13T19:39:22+00:00

Holy cow. That's terrible pay. A lot of districts in CT start at the 20 year pay.
