Still waiting on the ot referral. It starts next week so I need it or else I would. @mowtownthrowdown.

I'm just ignoring everything they say. Hand me that paper and I'm gone.

So remember the bullshit I went through to get my pumping breaks at work? Well, I just got an email from the HR lady being like "just a friendly reminder that your Workplace Accommodation is expiring in January. If you and your doctor decided that you need to continue your Workplace Accommodation into January, please reach out to me so I can give you the necessary paperwork."

WHAT! LADY! I've been back to work for barely 2 weeks! Are you kidding me? Federal law says I get a year. I'm not going through this shit every few months. I emailed her back and all I said was that Federal law says I get a year. She responded and said we could revisit it in January. I'm going to find her and I'm going to punch her.

Print out a copy of the federal law. "Here's your paperwork, bitch."

She responded "this is not the case". Um with pumping it is lady! Man I'm so annoyed. I already provided her a copy of the law once.

There's not some crazy loophole right? You are without question eligible? If so, I would refuse additional paperwork. Or make them request the docs from your doctor themselves. Asinine.

No way, I work for a company with around 100,000 employees in a department with about 30 people. Me getting an additional 30 minutes a day to pump is definitely not detrimental to the company. My doc told me to contact a lawyer when this all started. I have friends who are lawyers. Maybe I should have one of them contact her to freak her out.

Am I the only one still feeding my guy 8x a day?!

I'm afraid to drop feedings. Also there is no way I'd pump enough if I dropped a pump.

Noah still eats 8 or more times a day. I can't drop a pump either..

[amberlie]

Tornado sirens are blaring. There is one on the ground about 5 miles from here. I wish I was home with my baby

N is 17% for height and 70% for weight. Talking about a baby diet. How about you come home and deal with a screaming hungry baby?
Better yet, why don't you just shove it?

Our pedi left the state. I want to cry. And now find another practice.

Wtf. How would that even be possible...
N is 86% in weight and ours didn't even mention anything.
LC did say that him gaining an average 17oz per week was a LOT and to not up his bottles for daycare (like my pedi said to do).

Are you salary?
If you are, federal law only states they have to accommodate you with a place. Unfortunately it doesn't allow for as many breaks as you need. Some states have laws that do protect you. NC is a shit state and doesn't but I'm not sure about FL.

ETA:
I only know this because when I interviewed for that job, it was a salary position and I was worried. Didn't get the job though.

Nope, not salaried. I currently get 30 minutes extra a day and I have to make it up at the end of each day.

I also thought that they had to allow you the time to pump, but it didn't have to be paid time.

Et: Nvm I see where you said you have to make up the time. What's the big deal then?? Sorry they're being so difficult

Because that and his height is below average. So? He's probably about to hit a growth spurt.

What. The. Fuck.

So M doesn't have an ear infection. The pedi said it sounds like reflux. Gave me a rx for Zantac since I'm breastfeeding. This wasn't my pedi but she said if he was taking bottles we could add cereal to it to help it stay down.
Should we have the daycare add it when we send him? If so how much?
My brain isn't working and I forgot to ask this while we were there.

Any other tips for helping with the reflux?

We add half a teaspoon of enfamil ar to every 3 ounces of milk. We mix up bottles every night, so you could send them already mixed. Other tips: keep them upright for 20 or 30 minutes after eating. Incline their bed a little.

amberlie tell that tornado to go home, it's November.

Fx you're ok. I effing hate tornadoes.

Can she provide with a copy of the policy that states you need a letter? Does she have a supervisor you could discuss this with along with your supervisor (assuming your boss isn't a douche snow as well)?

Every time I see BF/EP check-in I think it says BFP check-in.

@seeca002 ...a good way to work it in is on Mondays. Freeze Fridays milk and then pull your oldest out for Monday. For the donating, I think most places request At least 100 oz, but you can also join eats for feets and human milk for human babies on Facebook too and just share with local mom's.

abvintage I'm home while job hunting but we feed on demand so it's a lot. Every 2 hours typically

Considering it showed up as a "sponsored ad" on my feed I think so lol

[ars093s]

So I just ran to the grocery store by my house to pick up a few things (we do most of our shopping at a different store further away because price), and they are closing! It was pretty picked over but I scored some staples at 30-40% off. I love a good deal.

Would we use about the same rice cereal to breast milk ratio? I'll make H put the crib on an incline. Hope this Zantac starts working soon. I'll just be sending bags of milk daily and the actual bottles will be there all the time. So I was thinking about just sending a container of cereal that they can add in.

I'm glad we are getting the treatment before he startws losing weight. He is gaining at a much slower rate than he was though.
