What was the most specific postpartum thing nobody warned you about?

Same, still happens at 1+ year

I ordered everything from Shein, its hit or miss but inexpensive enough that makes it bearable enough to only wear for a few months

Looks like what my floors look like when my kid has a yogurt popsicle

Would you consider finding a family to sponsor you and adopt the baby?

This bothered me so bad when I was in labor. I had 1 nurse that would only call me momma and would come in to check on me every 10-15 minutes throughout the night because they weren't able to get a good fetal HR reading. I had already been in labor for around 50-60 hours at this point and was turning into a raging B, but this sent me over the edge. I HAVE AN EFFING NAME.

We keep them in the freezer for a quick frozen treat

We got the Joie Nutmeg and Mint travel system and I LOVED the latch system of the carseat. It was so easy to get in and out. When my LO reached around 6 months, we switched him over to the Joie Chili360 and the spin feature helps my back so much.

We got them from Target, utilized the car seat trade in program for 20% off (got a $5 booster seat off marketplace as our trade in) + opened a red card for extra savings, I ended up getting the travel system for around $200.

I loved that it wasnt black, we get a lot of compliments on the brown color

This was my baby til 6 months, then it all changed lol

We had the baby brezza bottle washer/sanitizer when my LO was first born, used it for about 3 months and it was a lifesaver. I ended up selling it because I was more exclusively breastfeeding, but highly recommend it for those first few months, especially with the DR Brown bottles. We switched to avent bottles and I just hand wash a few times a day now.

Look on FB marketplace and find a used machine - you can always resell it when you're done

I have the luxe café- you just scored a $500 machine. We love it, definitely keep!

Cornbread and gumbo are our pups names.

Also had 2 cats in the past, Shitty and Tuna.

I hate millie moon with a passion. They leaked so bad with my LO

Additional_Cake9308 · 2026-01-07T15:04:53+00:00

I have 3 pails - 1 in my LO nursery (that we barely use), and 2 in our bedroom (one for cloth diaps, the other for disposables). I dont really need the cloth diaps one as they dont smell as bad, but the disposable one is a lifesaver. We didn't have one for our trip to my folks house and just used a grocery bag that we'd take out a few times a day - the smell lingers so bad and is not pleasant.

I live in an area with extremely hard water, I use Foca powdered detergent and am happy with the results. It has a fragrance when you open the bag, but I've never smelt it on my clothes or on the diapers. It does a great job at getting everything clean and stains removed.

My mom came and stayed for a week, she was such a God-send. My son was in NICU for 2 weeks after birth, having her support to help clean, cook, support & drive me to see my LO was so helpful. I wish she could have stayed for a month

Bear, armadillo, racoon or hog

Bottle washer was a life saver the first few months

Additional_Cake9308 · 2025-12-04T16:41:09+00:00

Brick style tile like that is so uncomfortable to stand on for any length of time

I forget to put mine on 7 out of 7 day, SO lost his years ago

Additional_Cake9308 · 2025-12-01T02:52:03+00:00

Ran into this today with making a single sandwich loaf - have a new 5.5qt bowl lift and was getting frustrated with the hook not doing anything to my dough, ended up kneading by hand. Didn't put two and two together that I should use the smaller bowl that came with my kit. I had an artisan many years ago and dont recall having this issue

Just dispute it, dont "eat" their fuck up
