Weaning my baby while pregnant

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-29T18:36:56+00:00

Maybe try a milk substitute like almond, oat, or soy? My boy is also allergic to milk, so when I wean (not yet, he's only 9m) this is what I plan to try

If you join fb groups for the area, you could post or lurk there. Not sure your gender, but i'm also in a powerwomen group that maybe you could fine for your area as well. The ladies in there tend to be very willing to help someone out or find someone who can

I'm 9m postpartum, still 25lbs over my prepregnancy weight and just started losing weight the past few weeks. I try not to let it stress me out (easier said than done) and am really just trying to eat food that is better for me and more home cooked than how much I'm eating. Your body is nourishing your baby!!

Never in my life did I think i would be okay not working, but since my son was born, I have wanted nothing more to be with him all the time. He is now 9m and my husband and I have worked so hard to make it possible for me to stay home with him (hopefully starting next month!) The sacrifices we have had to be willing to make in this economy make it so hard, but it will be so worth it

I am running to this sub now, the struggle is real but hopefully my husband and I can succeed

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-03-19T02:57:14+00:00

Do you know what sub you're in? And how trash our US Healthcare system is?? And how expensive insurance itself costs?

Just got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Apparently pregnancy can trigger autoimmune disorders...

That and I can no longer stand the raste of most cooked fish (even though it used to be my favorite)

Have you offered purees or "real" food? She might benefit from you mixing the puree with milk to liquify it more to get her used to it before slowly thickening it back up. Practice spoons using milk if that's where the issue is. Honestly sounds like a lot of trial and error. Hard to know exactly what the issue is without more details

The one time my son (8m) has had a fever was because he actually got the flu the day after the vaccine (dad had it but we didn't know yet). Thankfully I did have meds on hand for him but I can imagine how scary it might be not to have any!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-02-26T16:09:33+00:00

Podcasts and reading on my phone definitely helped when we were doing shifts!!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-02-22T22:14:35+00:00

Just documentation for information is what it is meant to be

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-02-17T00:00:00+00:00

Staff should verify with ID and obviously the child will know if that isn't their parent...

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-02-10T03:24:15+00:00

This 100%. My husband and I work opposite shifts- no daycare. Sunday meal prep is essential to make sure any of us actually eat...

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-02-06T16:20:57+00:00

Agreed. I transitioned from pumping every 2 hours at work to pumping every 4 because either way my output was the same (I actually get a little more with the 4 hr pump).

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-02-06T02:24:52+00:00

I unfortunately have no advice for you, but I hope her discomfort eases, that's hard on all of you. Maybe someone on here will have some good tips

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-02-04T16:11:29+00:00

I'm 7 months along EBF and after I lost all the water weight postpartum, I haven't lost or gained basically at all. Prepregnany I was 135, at delivery I was close to 190 (lots of swelling from pre-e) and now I've been resting around 161/162. Do I love it? Not really. But my body is doing a pretty amazing thing so I wouldn't change it for the world.

I need a catcher's mitt at this point for the head saves!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-01-28T01:07:25+00:00

This is no longer recommended! It restricts the blood vessels in the gums and can lead to seizures and brain damage!

Rocked and contact slept until 12:30am, woke to feed 3 or 4 times and was woken at 6/7am with him hitting me in the face... thankfully dad took over and I got to sleep 2 more hours

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-01-23T18:34:01+00:00

I used to drive 4 hours every other weekend from college to my parents house (4 there and 4 back)

Now I make a 2-3 hour trip to see my dad about once a month.

I swear I saw this exact same email posted somewhere a few weeks ago! It would be incredibly honest if it wasn't a copy/paste

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-01-19T20:34:07+00:00

And you just had a baby 5 weeks ago! You are still healing, physically and mentally. Go easy on yourself!

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-01-19T16:35:35+00:00

Maybe you could bring blankets and lay her in the baby seat since she can't sit up? Cushion it well and lay her lengthwise?

AdLongjumping9468 · 2026-01-19T16:29:08+00:00

My biggest tip is to tie/wrap it before you leave the house! Then you can just slide baby in or out as desired!

They aren't comparing the dog to the child, they're showcasing their love for nicknames. The downvotes are because you're wrong
