  • The feeding issue seems like it’s probably just newborn lazyness/lack of muscle still and bottles are easier, but tongue ties, lip ties, and muscle strains are all incredibly common in babies and can make suction much harder. If your wife is dedicated to breastfeeding then you could go to a lactation consultant now if you want, but if that’s difficult you can definitely keep offering nipples at most feedings and then supplement with a bottle. Not sustainable forever but will help the baby start developing the right muscles and energy for proper latch suction. If the problem persists then a lactation consult would be a good next step.

    Hang in there, it’s a tough few weeks with a tiny human who doesn’t know how to live yet! Things change quickly though so what seems impossible today may well be routine in a week.





  • I started out as a mountain biking kid with my dad, but pretty much exclusively road bike now. To be honest, I routinely go over grass and dirt on my road bike for shortcuts, as long as you’re careful it’s fine. Especially if you throw slightly more robust tires on them and it’s more the occasion than the rule I wouldn’t worry about it.





  • As far as I’ve seen/read they don’t really do sales ever, but sell open box good condition items at a decent discount.

    I have the smaller one, and text looks a lot better than my Paperwhite from 2015, but I haven’t spent a lot of time with a newer Kindle for comparison or looked at manga on either. Even with a magnifying glass you can’t see individual pixels on the SNs though so I would think graphical content would look good?
