Furious Friday is right. Getting so mad at those lactivists, snoopmommymom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I know. I understand wanting to keep things vegan but the EBF advice like everything else is poison is terrible. And in yesterday's the people saying "I had a premie and EBF." So what, not all premies are the same. It's so dangerous to give that type of advice (not even touching the carrot juice advice). I think for most of them it's not about keeping things vegan it's about all formula being poison. But you will find more of this crowd in the vegan groups for two reasons: they are more of a health-focused, crunchy granola type than most people and 2.) they're out to prove that the lifestyle and diet is healthy without having to rely on any supplements or supplementation with formula. They're not seeing the fact that even if the baby does end up on a dairy-based formula it's fine because it's not analogous to an adult choosing to eat animals. The baby requires BM or formula. That's it, so it's absolutely 100% required to survive and develop appropriately. In that case, I would say it's more comparable to medicine than food from an ethical standpoint.

I'm sorry, it makes for such a long day. How is sleep training going with S trtlcrzy? Not well. With H having VBS this week our schedule has been off so I think I'm starting over next week. On Monday I will be starting the slow weaning process so no more nursing except morning and before bed. I'm prepared for a shitty nap week.

Look at your unit and see if it's iced up. Ours did that last week. We had to turn it off for a few hours to thaw and then restart. Took forever to cool the house back down but it fixed it. That's the same problem that happened to ours. Try changing your filter too. Good call trtlcrzy. I forgot that part. Thats why ours froze up. With a gravel driveway we have to change our filters frequently.

MH and are clearly exhausted. We left the house around noon to run to the cleaners and go out to lunch, MH walked out of the house carrying a pair of socks and the plug for the laptop (that we were not bringing). When we got home, I wanted to boil some eggs, so I put them in a pot, turned on the gas, and went upstairs to change into comfy clothes. I never added water and they turned a dark shade of brown on one side. Whoops!

Take your crystals and bullshit and shove it up your ass. What she wants to do and what the baby requires can't always be the same thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I'm going to make some fire art with Cadence this weekend. Should be fun. White tiles, markers, alcohol and fire. Supposedly makes some pretty coasters that I can give as Christmas presents to the Grandparents.

M wants her ears pierced so I think my mother is going to take her. I wonder if she'll actually go through with it.

I told them I needed the wknd to think about it but I honestly don't know that I could turn it down. I will lose my WFH day but it does seem flexible in the fact I wouldn't even work in the same building as my boss. So she's not going to hold me to a schedule and won't mind if I need to alter it around occasionally.

That's interesting. I just can't stop looking at the kid with the lighter. But it does look like an easy group art project.
