Brux, where did you take this course and who taught it? It sounds so valuable. I want to see if I can find something like this locally (or see if any local orgs would be willing to host one). it was taught by a woman with her own company. she also is an ECFE educator, but she saw a need for various courses on tougher topics that parents can struggle with introducing and continuing to talk about. Here's her website if it helps you in a keyword search locally: www.parenting.netgains.net/index.asp?selection=1

They can’t do anything for him at UC and told him to make an appt with a GI. No shit. They did give him a new prescription so maybe hopefully that’ll help with the pain. Sigh.

If a baby name is both a flower and a porn star, would you consider it?

If a baby name is both a flower and a porn star, would you consider it? Bella Donna? Luna Rose. Hibiscus Luna Rose is the flower. There is also a porn star I discovered while googling.

I would think it’s a training for white people to be better allies to POC? But like Tlex said, I don’t think the name is good.

Not Alley. Ally. This learning group is for those who identify as “white” and find themselves searching for a deeper understanding of racism in the United States. This series will provide the participant an opportunity to begin or further their process of unpacking personal participation in white dominant structures, deepen their understanding of their racial identity, explore a factual historical context, identify current expressions of racism and practice tools for interrupting it in our environments.

Luna Rose. Hibiscus Luna Rose is the flower. There is also a porn star I discovered while googling. I'm not sure the porn factor would stop me, but as the name is NMS, that's as far as my opinion goes.

I wouldn't bring it misspatty. I would work on latching in the hospital and making a lactation consultant appointment in a week or two after birth to ask more questions and/or practice pumping.

I have a possibly very stupid FTM question. Do I need to bring my breast pump to the hospital? There’s nothing a lactation consultant or nurse could help me with, right? Leave it home...you will have enough stuff as it is to try and keep track of. The nurses and consultants can be super helpful! They should also have one for you to use if necessary.

I didn't pump for weeks after birth as I worked to regulate my boob milk flow.

They’ll have one there if you need it. I already had so much stuff with me (and even more leaving with the baby) that I wouldn’t want the extra baggage.

Well you don't live too far from me, right? When are you due again? July. If your baby is a fabulous sleeper or outgrows it by then....let a bitch know. I think they outgrow it at 6 months so about right

misspatty if they want you to start pumping right away they can set you up with a pump at the hospital - at least mine did.

misspatty, I used the one the hospital provided, which was actually stronger than my Medela. Definitely bring your boppy and also a headband/barrette/ponytail holder if you have long hair or bangs. You spend a whole lot of time looking down when you're learning to nurse, and constantly wiping your hair out of your face is really annoying.

Oh god yeah...my BFF gave me an 80s sweatband headband thing and it was by far the greatest thing in my bag during both labor/delivery and in the learning to nurse phase.

They brought one to my room at the hospital. The nurses and lactation consultant were very helpful and put up with my million questions. It can’t hurt to ask and find out what kind of resources they have!

I actually stuck mine in the car because I was nervous about forgetting to grab it in the heat of the moment. I'm really excited for you to have this baby. I know that's weird and I really don't care.

Thanks guys! I’ll leave it at home and focus on breastfeeding at first. I haven't even watched yet but I just know I'll be mad at Chris Carter. If you love something let it go, Chris.
