Why does this keep happening to my Avent nipple?

When my baby drinks the nipple keeps folding like this… I always make sure the vent is pointing to the ceiling. She gets very frustrated when it does happen, I’m assuming the flow slows down. Any ideas

Re-do GTT at 35 weeks [on]

Hi 👋🏼
At 24 weeks I did the glucose test and passed with a result of 5.7 mmol. Babies head and abdomen were measuring big from my anatomy scan at 20 weeks. Now I’m 35 weeks and I’ve been seeing a MFM doctor for her large size, also IVF pregnancy. She’s still measuring big, and actually is increasing in percentiles within the past 2 weeks. Specifically her abdominal circumference which is above 90% and her bitemporal width, but overall head circumference is normal. I now need to redo the GTT 3hr test and I’m completely dreading it. Has anyone else been in this position? Is it likely I have gestational diabetes? My husband was a big baby so I’m hoping it’s just that, but I’m really worried because she’s growing so fast.

[on] What supplies does Cortelucci hospital provide when delivering?

I’m packing my hospital bag and I’m wondering if there’a anything specifically that they do not provide and I should bring. So far I have diapers, wipes, swaddles and burp cloths, diaper cream, pacifier. For myself I’m bringing disposal underwear, pads, adult diapers, peri bottle, toiletries.

I would like to know in general what’s provided so that I can pack lighter if possible or anything else I should bring.

Paternity Leave [ON]

I’m due early July with my first baby. I’m taking 12 months paid maternity leave, although I’ll be off work for 18 months. I’m wondering how the 5 week paternity leave works for my husband. His work is pretty flexible, and we want him to take off 2 weeks once she’s born, and another 2 weeks during Christmas, and possibly 1 more week sometime next year. Is it possible to take it in increments? And what’s the process like? Is there a waiting period to get paid?
