Does anyone else's LO absolutely destroy the Medela nipples? She constantly flattens them and just basically chews on them throughout her feeding. I have to pop it out several times to let the air back in. Sheesh!
My sister's kids used to do this and we finally figured it out. It's because you are screwing the bottle rings on too tight and it creates a vacuum when she sucks. Loosen the ring a smidge and it will stop!
Also I wonder if this could be why she's always so gassy and spitty?? Sucking in all that air all the time? GOSH I HOPE THIS IS THE CURE.

Today is our last day at far away day care -- Monday starts our new, close, small, infant-only unicorn daycare. I am so excited that I will no longer have to prep bottles every night! Doing it for me might be one of the best things about this place

Really?! I'll try this at the next feeding. Thanks!!
Just dont loosen too much... Results in milk all over you and baby :/ sigh
Do it on the 28th. That way you still get a photo that month. That's what I did for DS1 who is an April 30th birthday.
That's our anniversary! Five years this year! Happy Birthday to DS1!
Nice. For DS1 when we were doing the month photos it was 2012 and there was a 29 so we did on that day but I still would have done it on the 28th of it hadn't been a leap year.

Happy friday all! Not caught up because we had a playdate this morning, but just wanted to drop in and say hello! I will probably catch up later tonight.

Can't you try a different bottle? Have you done that?

Yeah we use Tommee tippee as well but I haven't paid much attention to if she's more gassy on one rather than the other. I'll have to check into that and see!
kaylajade Prayers for your nephew and all of your family. I hope they can get his numbers down. americanninjamommy So, at 5 pm on the 13th, will it be beer, wine, or straight to the hard stuff once all of your meetings are finally done?
Sleep dust to all of the donkey and horse babies on the board. And coffee to all of us.
One of my co-workers brought in bagels and cream cheese today. Should I get a second bagel? If so, what flavor? The questions I must answer.
I rarely drink, but for this occasion, I will probably go straight to the super hard liquor straight out of the bottle!! A girl can make an exception
kfitz The stuff you never think about...damn it February. I agree with carriedaway19 though, it would drive me nuts.
ETA: of course, if I ever have a kid on 2/29 it would probably drive me even more nuts on the birthdays.
mrssinner402 someone told me it's because they don't have a vent like some others. Do you FF or BF? I can't remember and feel like a jerk for asking, but if it's BM you can get Calma nipples, which have a vent, for like $12 on Amazon. Still expensive, but for me they're worth it because LO gets SOOO gassy otherwise.
I got back from my first business trip since DS last night. I was so stressed out leading up to it, worrying about logistics and dealing with pumping. The first night was rough (bad weather messing up travel, DS having an epic meltdown for DH.) but everything else went smoothly and I'm glad I went. It gave me a break to get some rest and perspective. And now with the first trip out of the way, I feel a lot more confident at work.
What's your social media platform of choice and why? I'm considering deleting Facebook and making a switch to Twitter. Is it a wise decision?
I have both? I don't really find them to be interchangeable though. I'm on Twitter for like (don't flame me) celebrity following and gossip, hockey news n stuff like that. Fb is where friends share pictures and dumb shit.

I wouldn't give up Facebook if for no other reason than because I live far away from my aunts, uncles and cousins. Facebook is a great way for us to keep in touch and see pictures of each others growing families.

That's mainly how I use it now; I just get annoyed with it and the people who still use it to narrate their entire lives. I guess they aren't interchangeable..

I've almost deleted mine out of annoyance so many times. But family is always telling me that they love seeing pics of SS and the baby and being able to keep up with us when we don't see them often. So that's pretty much the main reason I keep it. That and the notches!

BL for me is that if you want to go into a long diatribe, get a blog. You can always set it up to push to FB if you do choose. Then you're not spamming your friends with status updates about how x, y, and z are connected in detail. It's just a preview on the newsfeed that they can click on if they so choose. Even though Twitter and FB aren't interchangeable I still TRY to use the 150 character rule so I don't end up going into this long spiel.
ETA: but I do love Instagram. That's my favorite and I DO push those to FB.
