When to take out carseat head thing?
We have the Graco Snugride Snugfit DLX with the safety surround. When do we take the safety surround part out and how if anyone else has this carseat?

How do you store your milk in fridge?
I store my milk in storage bottles from each pump until they are cold enough to combine into a pitcher. My husband says i should just put my milk into bottles prepped for the next day instead of the pitcher. I dont know why but I feel more comfortable having them in storage bottles until I can put them all in a pitcher. Do you think he's right with me putting my milk directly into bottles for prepping or should I keep my small bottle then pitcher storage?

Bruised Nipples from Wearables
Has anyone had a problem with their wearables literally making their nipples purple? I just noticed that mine are making my nipples purple sometimes after I get done pumping. I am using my wearable as my main pump because I get more milk from them than my spectra pump.

Clogged Tear Ducts
Anyone have a LO with clogged tear ducts? Mine has it and its especially bad in her right eye. She'll wake up and it'll be very crusted. Anyone have any advice to help her? We massage the ducts throughout the day when shes not at daycare and we wipe her eyes very often. She's starting to hate the eye wiping now but I can't just leave it, it strings across her eye and crusts after a bit.

Sticky floors in new apartment
We just moved into our apartment and I dont know what they used to mop the floors but they are so sticky. I've tried the Bona mop and just plain hot water to get it to not be sticky but its not working and our socks and shoes just stick as we walk around. How can I get it to be unsticky? I also dont know what they used on the carpeted areas but there's a sticky/slimy residue that leaves a film on your socks on the carpet. Thankfully management agreed to putting new carpet in but for the hard floors I dont know. They are I think LVP floors.

Milk duct clog?
I had a hard lump/clog? For like a week in my right breast. With the help of sunflower lecithin I was finally able to get it out. I noticed when I was pumping i saw a clump of pink in the bottle I was pumping into. It was a chunk that wouldn't mix with the rest though I didnt try very hard either cause I was grossed out by it. I strained it from the rest of my milk and omg it was massive. I feel like that can't be good for me or my supply. I've clogs that look like this come out smaller and white but never pink and this big. This is a small mesh strainer.

Nipple Shield Full Time
Anybody use a nipple shield everytime they nurse? I can only really nurse successfully with a shield on. Im scared about my supply dropping because of it. Has anyone had a supply drop from using the shield? I only nurse a few times a day and then pump and use bottles for daycare and time alone with dad.
