@mardbein Some kind of low melting point metal is needed to make a vacuum insulated cup, even though the rest of the cup is stainless steel. The stainless steel walls are one piece, then a vacuum is pulled, and plugged with soder. Lead Safe Mama made a huge deal about these which had a lot of...

@jack_sdb While I hear that you’d like to get to a root cause, you should know that you may never get there, and open active eczema flares need to be healed as soon as you can to avoid long term consequences. Especially as a baby being exposed to the world, the first time new potential...

@kennethe62 Nah we definitely have formula mixing pitchers. They’re handy once your baby is predictable enough to have a set amount of formula in a day. You can then dose it into bottles to pack it for daycare or as needed throughout the day and keep it in the fridge...

@enealexandru Nah, this thing is super useful for “other boob” letdown for like the first 4 weeks. After that, it’s useless as a pump, lol. There’s a reason that bicycle horn/Hakka style pumps are no longer used, they’re more likely to cause breast tissue damage. If you like the portability of...

@clemi The first probit trial publication speaks better to the study design. Two randomized groups of expectant mothers are enrolled, one is given breastfeeding classes before birth and breastfeeding consultant after birth. The longitudinal cohort data looks at the entire arm. As...

@1daysoon Plus I like many other working moms are stuck with no childcare or schools AND we’re still expected to telework! We did two hours of backyard sledding this morning but tablets and nap time means we get to work and keep some vacation time. JK all my vacation time goes to sick days...

@greenwolf The ductal narrowing likely was not caused by the clog, but caused the clog to form. I know I had a case of mastitis caused by my older kid inadvertently roundhouse kicking me in the boob. Caused the area of the breast to become sore and swollen, which caused ductal narrowing, which...

@jeraldine Briefly looking at that paper, I did not see discussion of early supplemental food introduction, which you would expect to be correlated to early breastfeeding cessation or inadequate infant weight gain while breastfeeding. Aka, baby who ate rice cereal at 2 months because...

@twinklesamir Just FYI, make sure your infantino isn’t subject to the recall. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2020/infantino-recalls-infant-carriers-due-to-fall-hazard

@qmedic This is a really good brief on mastitis from the American Academy of Breasfeeding Medicine. It’s from 2022 and represents a bit of a paradigm shift from previous mastitis management protocols. Not all mastitis begins from dysbiosis/bacterial infection and CRP isn’t specific for...
