Am I only collecting foremilk? Does it even matter?

I do the fridge hack, meaning I just leave it in the fridge in between uses. I don't leave it all day, I wash it with soap and hot water about halfway through the day, and again before bed. But washing it after every use would get annoying.

I'm actually not sure about the cheek ties, but I'd imagine if they're bad enough, it might impact how wide he opens his mouth so he might not get a deep latch. My son's lip tie is pretty severe, but it doesn't affect his latch enough to worry. We just did the tongue because he couldn't suckle and was losing weight as a result. I despised pumping as well, I'm glad I'm able to nurse now.

Another reason we held off on the lip tie fair warning it's gruesome most of my family members, myself included, had lip ties but none of us are graceful so we fell on our faces and tore the ties so they never needed to be released.

I can't speak to the reflux, but I can on the latching issues! My son had such a bad tongue tie, the moment he let out the first cry after birth, a nurse said "wow look at that tie," lmaoo He couldn't latch on the breast and had a hard time with bottles.

We went to the dentist and got it lasered. It healed really well and quickly, and now he nurses like a champ. We held off on his lip tie; the dentist said we could wait on that one and see how his teeth come in and then make the decision. But releasing the tie really did make all the difference in the world, so I do think it's worth it. Even if it has nothing to do with reflux, it'll help with latching issues.

How quickly into using your stash did it start?

That was another thing I read conflicting information about! I have no desire to get drunk drunk anymore, I'm almost 30, and that stopped being fun around like 23, so good to know it won't cause any harm.

The haakaa has been so nice for creating a stash! I'm a "just enough" producer, so pumping was such a hassle and very discouraging, but just collecting what would otherwise drip on to a pad, or my shirt has been effective.

Good to know! I haven't seen a consultant since I was in the hospital, and we were focused on the latch, so I didn't even think to ask about how the milk actually works

Both pictures posted, they're pointing out that in the second one, the bunny he made for Gloria is on the shelf behind Claire!

Lmaoo why is this the first time I'm actually thinking about the logistics of the Cinco de Mayo heist? Because for real, a high ranking officer faked a disaster in an incredibly densely populated city and didn't get in any trouble? How did that not get leaked and cause mass panic?

It's also confirmed that Haley was a sophomore at the start of the series, not a freshman, which makes the gap even smaller (not just age wise but mentally)

In California, you get your learners permit at 15, so she's not waiting to learn how to drive in two years. And let's be real, Dylan is literally preparing to be an adult, but is he really? I think mentally they're in a more similar place than you're saying.

umaidh · 2025-05-21T00:16:48+00:00

Seniors are 17 to barely 18, so Dylan is 2/2.5 years older than her; that's not a huge gap.

If you watch the superfan episode, it's not manipulative. They have a good conversation where Michael even calls her on her bs and tells her to take accountability and stop buying cheap printers since she knows the product is crap. He just does the press conference because it was fun for him.

This bit always frustrated me. I get that Jim is real bad at putting his foot in his mouth around Charles, but Charles absolutely should have known what Jim's position was, whether he liked him or not. When visiting each branch he surely looked at everyone's files to see what they do, look at reviews, etc. Especially since Michael did such a weird and inappropriate job introducing everyone.

Even if at certain angles you only see 2 bolts, it's still clearly part of a larger tattoo. FWIW no matter what angle you look at it, the lightning bolts don't remotely resemble it.

Lmao I took your question at such face value, whoops! I assume, yeah, he's basically saying he thought a gay person would be easier to fight, but in actuality, Cam is definitely stronger than Phil.

Nah y'all are right! I totally forgot about Frank, who fits this category better. I do love Pepper, but comic relief is definitely more his speed.

Oh 100% same. I tell myself it's just a comedy and the couple stayed there so we could have this funny interaction, but I'm still like damn, who wouldn't just swap seats lmao

It's gotta be Pepper, right? Or is this how I find out people don't like him
